Yep. Trump's a swell guy. Loves space. Loves dogs , cats, and geese. Will pass an executive order to allow dogs, cats, and geese to join space force. What more could you ask for in a president. Best president in history. A second term even better. What could go wrong?

Seriously though, what is x.com and the x app? I just followed the link to google play and it seems'ish like it's just the twitter microblog, but I'm seeing things mentioned that I didn't think are part of twitter. I've never used twitter or any x products, so I'm actually in the dark.

I'm pretty sure that "x, formerly known as twitter" is the name of the company. So... forever.

What about Elon...

Honestly was thinking the same. Now we sit and wait for what the response will be... 😬

And so it seems the escalation many worried would be the case has been confirmed. What a mess. I have a bad feeling about this.

Well that did it for me. I'm voting Harris!

It's just insane. Seriously. I can't wrap my head around so many of these businesses.

And may they fail... gloriously.

Like so many other companies...

Will they learn though. Will this strike be the beginning of something...

🤞🏽

This is remarkably helpful in clearing things up. Thank you very much!

With the government of Lebanon allowing Hezbollah this kind of status, it would seem that Israel is not just targeting a terrorist organization but the government of Lebanon itself since it permits and supports Hezbollah as part of its own government.

Considering that most Lebanese don't support Hezbollah, this is even more tragic. Israel continues to lay waste to the country due to the actions of a minority government entity. And it's the Lebanese citizens who are paying the price.

I presumed that this was more lucrative for them and why it's the case...

There's never been a greater need for social entrepreneurial ventures, but they just aren't compatible with capitalistic societies.

Imagine insurance companies there for the benefit of people when tragedy strikes but limiting costs to simply running operations and very limited profit.

Not a single executive with experience would ever want to work at such a place because they would be paid a fraction of what they could at any other company... But goodness it would be incredible for social businesses to become the prevalent model.

The closest I can think of at the moment in the United States is Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Pharmacy. Probably much can be said about his wealth and how he achieved it, but... the pharmacy has been a huge boon for people.

 

The Biden administration has warned Israel that it must increase the amount of humanitarian aid it is allowing into Gaza within the next 30 days or it could risk

The Biden administration is doing the best they can possibly do. /s

This is kind of big news. I never would have expected it.

Is there any way to install and use the Gemini App without the Google App and forced association of the account with my Android phone?

I have a specific Google account just for Gemini, but I neither use the Google app nor desire for my phone to maintain this alt google account as one of the phone associates accounts. I think many folks would prefer login stay within the app itself.

Another positive step in the right direction for an organization rife with brokenness. There's a lot I don't like about the organization, but this is something a love--a scouting organization open to young women and the lgbtq community. The next step is being inclusive of nonreligious agnostic and atheist youth and leaders. As well as ending the cultural appropriation of Native American peoples.

May this organization continue to build up youth, never allow further violence against youth, and make amends for all the wrongs. There's a lot of good that comes out of organizations like this and I won't discount it even though it's riddled with a dark history.

Could anyone recommend a OnePlus 11 telephoto lens attachment? My searches are coming up dry so far.

Photo Description

Top Left: Tree unbalanced. Left side producing little. Right side producing well.

Top Right: Shown from opposite side. Full limbs visible without flowering.

Bottom left: Close up of the left side of the tree. Several branches not flowering down full length.

Bottom right: Closer view of the graft and up.

Please do ask for any more clarifying photos if you think it would help.

Questions:

  • The tree just started blooming this week. Is it too late to start pruning or should I wait until Autumn?

  • Pruning the tree is going to make it even more lopsided than it already is. Would you all recommend trimming back the healthy branches so it's not so heavy on one side?

  • This website gives the advice below. Any thoughts otherwise?

Thank you all so much!


How to Prune a Weeping Cherry Tree

The different types of weeping cherries can grow to between eight and 40 feet tall. Proper pruning keeps these trees looking beautiful and can prevent the development and spread of diseases. Prune while the tree is dormant (no flowers or leaves on the branches) in early spring or late fall. Take the following steps once a year with bypass pruning shears or a pole pruner.

  • Cut back any branches that contact the ground until they’re at least six inches off the ground.
  • Remove branches that are rubbing against each other.
  • Trim back branches that are closer than two inches apart.
  • Remove dead branches.
  • Remove stems or branches growing out of the trunk or around the base of the tree (a.k.a. suckers).
  • Trim back the tips of the branches around the perimeter of the canopy until it’s a balanced, uniform shape.
  • Remove branches that are growing straight up on grafted cherry trees because they will continue to grow upward instead of weeping down.
  • Thin out the mangled cluster of branches that often develops near the base of the canopy of grafted trees.
  • Remove diseased branches as soon as they’re discovered, regardless of the time of year. Sterilize the blade of your cutting tool in between cuts to prevent disease spread.
 

So glad to finally hear an update on this and see that he's actually being punished. I hope others learn from this.
