Dilute Murphys oil soap + 1 egg, let ‘mellow’ in the sun, spray on or around plants. Nasty, nasty smelling stuff. Keeps the deer from eating our daylillies. You have to reapply after it rains.
That’s exactly what the ancient Israelites wondered, too: When the Israelites saw it, they asked each other, “What is it?” (Heb. man hu [aWh’m]). This led to the name “manna, “ “what?”
Road widening gets out of hand really quickly. It is not a cure-all to traffic problems. In many (but not all) cases, it actually worsens the problem by making a car a necessity where it was previously one of many options. Here’s an introduction to the issue: https://youtu.be/ORzNZUeUHAM
Good to know. I’m glad to hear that, and I definitely recognize the need for skilled federal employees. (I’m a patent attorney, so I interact with USPTO patent examiners on a regular basis).
A good thought, but what about the horde of utterly unaccountable career “civil servants”?
I submit that they present a far greater danger than lifelong congresscritters. For example, who outside of Southern California would know about Adam Schiff if it were not for James Comey, Rod Rosenstein, Bruce Ohr, Andrew McCabe, etc?

Something on our sun close to this would be catastrophic.
IIRC, red dwarfs are thought to flare because they are not dense enough to contain their convection in layers, generating intense magnetic fields which, when the fields shift, let off Hellish amounts of energy as a flare. Heavier stars like our sun keep convection in layers, and the magnetic fields of the convection are correspondingly smaller, with shifts in the fields producing smaller flares.
