V. E. Schwab - the Invisible Life of Adie LaRue would be amazing. Classic cursed immortal living through the ages, but without vampires!

I worked at a pizza delivery shop at the time and just used empty pizza boxes

Also works for inside locations if you are carrying a large bag of food or several pizza boxes. I've snuck into some concerts with the pizza box method.

Back in 2007, I had just finished college and was traveling cross country to start a new job. I had to stop and get emergency surgery on the way there and ended up in the hospital for a few days. I ended up paying around $70,000 over the next few years and the hospital finally forgave the rest of the bill.

Does this take place before Legend of Korra?

Fosterierias are generally not considered edible, but I'm from the southeast and only familiar with F. Accuminata (swamp privet). There are a lot of plants in the olive family that aren't edible including ash trees and privet.

I found an article on eattheweeds.com, and even Green Deane says they're inedible.

This guy’s channel is excellent content about national parks and public lands. He’s typically very reserved and thoughtful about including any politics in his content, but you can tell in this video that he’s just so overwhelmed by the proposals in Project 2025 that he just can’t contain it. It’s a great watch and maybe a way to sway more outdoor-focused conservatives away from supporting an administration that is planning on selling our lands for the benefit of the few.

Absolutely figs. One of the easiest things to grow, even in a container. The easiest citrus to grow in a container is probably kumquat.

Not annual, but not many fruits are. Maybe just melons and tomatoes.

 

I'm in the US and I'm going back to college after 15 years in the work force. I'd like to try to test out of some basic classes I have a lot of experience in, but no college credits. How does this work? Who runs this program, an accredited testing board or individual colleges? If you test out of a class, would that count as 3 (or equivalent) credit hours of college credit for other purposes such as professional licensure? Are there issues with acceptance by colleges of these types of tests? Thanks!

Pretty useful actually. I do field biology work and hate having to use my phone out in the sun, but it's just more convenient than bringing a 2nd "rugged device"

Aren't assassin bugs harmless? Why the body count at all?

 

I thought this was a very centrist view of "greedflation" from SYSK. It's great to see this recognition of this problem become more mainstream.
