The only Canadian wines I’ve ever had was when stopping at vineyards on the way to Toronto. They were quite nice.
Just because the chart missed the obvious comparison to more common countries that the US imports wine from…
2023 COUNTRY IMPORT VALUE (IN MILLION USD)
France 922.8
Italy 744.3
Germany 160.4
Spain 119.6
New Zealand 171
edit: list is acting weird
I’m clueless and would like to hear from someone knowledgeable.
We had a melon vine looking like that last year and it never recovered. Is this kind of thing always fatal or was there something that could be done to save it?
Off topic… I can’t help but note that Cool Britannia was the best Ben and Jerry’s ice cream flavor ever. :-)
That’s encouraging. I’m not expecting much. It would be nice just to get a couple of people checking in every once in a while. Or at least the occasional repeat passerby here in the sticks of western NY.
Yep, I’ll add lightning protection to the setup. Good idea.
One year later…
I’m in the same boat. Did you have any luck?
Love the mounting method btw. I’m gonna copy it. :-)
So if you don’t lie to make the numbers look good, you’re fired.
Just great. And to think I was skeptical of the government’s economic reporting before this bs.
Even two years on this one still hits hard.
Damnit.
Yeah, I don’t get the “trumpf will fire Powell” thing. He has no authority over the Fed, right?
Yes, I get he can apply pressure indirectly, but that’s not the same as having the power to fire anyone at the Fed. So this sounds like the media trying to grant trump the appearance of more authority than he has, which is a bad thing.
I’m hopeful Powell will stick out his term and continue to do make the best decisions he can.
Fewer? Locally, friends have been commenting in the past week or so how nice it has been that there are so many more this year. (Western NY) And more bees, ticks, and mosquitos.
I get that we’re in a massive crash but at the moment, locally, there seems to be at least a momentary uptick.
Sounds good to me!
NY was the eleventh state in the US. We’d become the eleventh province of Canada, nice!
This is definitely worrisome.
But is it the end of the Constitution quite yet?
The Supreme Court hasn’t weighed in on the executive order trying to negate birthright citizenship, they said that lower courts couldn’t block EO’s at a national level.
Implicitly, their not commenting on the EO feels like they’ll let it stand when the case arrives, if they choose to hear it. Then I’d say the US Constitution is toast.
I’m an engineer, not a lawyer. I’d love to hear what someone more knowledgeable about this thinks.
Let’s try again.
Think carefully, surely you can see that two and two is five.
Don’t you agree?
Huh, well never thought I’d agree with this nutcase but that would be a good move.
What’s the catch?
Mastodon but not nearly as much as Lemmy.
Bookwyrm but not nearly as much as Mastodon.
I really wanted Bookwyrm to be more useful for me. But it’s really not geared towards what I want in keeping track of books. ymmv
Few people can focus enough to read.
I work in a technical field. In the past few years I’ve learned that interacting by email usually requires one-line sentences or bullet points, with any questions being numbered. No fluff, no secondary thoughts or possibilities. Keep it as minimal as possible.
It still fails to elicit a coherent response about half the time, but it’s the best I’ve found so far.
It didn’t use to be like this. But what’s to blame; screen addiction, microplastics, covid, increased stress, … ?
I’d be glad to:
Pack his bags tonight preflight…
Really? Only 13%?
Maybe it’s a lagging indicator? Maybe sales in China picked up? Maybe the numbers have been finessed?
Obligatory, #NotTheOnion
“Trump says…” - there’s nothing that could follow those words that I’d believe.
