I don't think toothpaste has a low enough grit to make a dent in plastic this worn by itself. You need a lower grit abrasive to start with and taper to a higher grit

I disagree that the US military is incompetent, but very much believe the current civilian leadership over the military is both incompetent and not listening to knowledgeable military leadership. This is severely impacting operations in a negative way

I suppose I was talking about the tweet and not the response to the tweet

This chart you shared identifies Texas as having the 44th highest GDP per capita out of every region in the entire world out of 454 regions, which is actually really good. It's especially good given how much rural land Texas includes, where an entire state's per capita GDP is being compared to much smaller urban regions like Luxembourg, Warsaw, and London.

I live in Texas. I love where I live, and also fuck this place, but either way what you're saying just isn't true. Sure, there are a number of defense contractors plus NASA and military bases operating in Texas, but between energy, healthcare, education, tourism, tech, and over 50 Fortune 500 companies, Texas's economy is actually really diverse. California has a ton of military bases and defense contractors too, because like Texas they have the workforce to pull it off

Did I miss something? Is OnlyFans funding AIPAC?

I assumed it was "warfare," and for that every example works

I'm just here to point out that your stomach microbiome consists of bacteria and fungi, which are not plants. There's also direct evidence glyphosate causes several different types of cancer in animals, which is pretty harmful to animals. Also all life is made up of organic tissue, not just animals.

The choice doesn't have to be lawn or not lawn. I bought a house that was all lawn, front and back, about 10 years ago, and bit by bit I've carved out planting beds starting around the perimeter, so now I still have some lawn but can mow it all in under an hour. The first step is absolutely trees. Plan where you want your trees to be, and plant them during your tree planting season (fall where I am).

Rocks are so. fucking. hot. Landscaping with rocks increases the ambient temperature around your house by like 10 degrees vs. bare dirt. Even in New Mexico, there are so many native trees and shrubs. Please shade the ground and help keep your neighborhood cooler

As an elder millennial, I've neither witnessed nor even heard of this "phenomenon."
