Sadly, sometimes not even then. I tried to get a paper ticket of last year’s Series for my dad, and they told me they don’t even make those any more. :(

Also once you know your hardiness zone you can Google around for appropriate trees. Typically state universities will have some resource for you. Also local municipalities will sometimes have “tree palettes” which will help. You got options babey.

Turns out that he might be trying to cover up a lawsuit:

https://www.reuters.com/legal/elon-...tJCAPm6dTxT2GFQ

Reuters posted:

NEW YORK, March 31 (Reuters) - Elon Musk asked a U.S. judge on Friday to throw out a $258 billion racketeering lawsuit accusing him of running a pyramid scheme to support the cryptocurrency Dogecoin.

In an evening filing in Manhattan federal court, lawyers for Musk and his electric car company Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) called the lawsuit by Dogecoin investors a "fanciful work of fiction" over Musk's "innocuous and often silly tweets" about Dogecoin.

The lawyers said the investors never explained how Musk intended to defraud anyone or what risks he concealed, and that his statements such as "Dogecoin Rulz" and "no highs, no lows, only Doge" were too vague to support a fraud claim.

"There is nothing unlawful about tweeting words of support for, or funny pictures about, a legitimate cryptocurrency that continues to hold a market cap of nearly $10 billion," Musk's lawyers said. "This court should put a stop to plaintiffs' fantasy and dismiss the complaint."

In a footnote, the lawyers also rejected the investors' claim that Dogecoin qualified as a security.

The investors' lawyer, Evan Spencer, said in an email: "We are more confident than ever that our case will be successful."

Investors accused Musk, the world's second-richest person according to Forbes, of deliberately driving up Dogecoin's price more than 36,000% over two years and then letting it crash.

They said this generated billions of dollars of profit at other Dogecoin investors' expense, even as Musk knew the currency lacked intrinsic value.

Investors also pointed to Musk's appearance on a "Weekend Update" segment of NBC's "Saturday Night Live" where, portraying a fictitious financial expert, he called Dogecoin "a hustle."

The $258 billion damages figure is triple the estimated decline in Dogecoin's market value in the 13 months before the lawsuit was filed.

Dogecoin Foundation, a nonprofit, is also a defendant and seeking the lawsuit's dismissal.

Musk's posts on Twitter, which he owns, have prompted multiple lawsuits.

He won a court victory on Feb. 3 when a San Francisco jury found him not liable for tweeting in August 2018 that he had arranged financing to take Tesla private.

The case is Johnson et al v. Musk et al, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 22-05037.

Absolutely do not do this. My mom has to deal with like 20 bag fulls of these little fuckers every year.

That is what those trees are called? Everyone I knew called them Spiny Ball Trees and they are all over the place in suburban CA. We used to hit or throw the spiny balls at each other all of the time when they were green and heavy. Nothing brings back the nostalgia of being 10 years old like getting drilled in the side of the head from one of those.

Looks like I'm going to Hawaii sometime this month for a vacation. I just gotta get my dates squared with my lady since she's spending time with family and friends there from the 10th until her new job starts in June. I've only gone to Hawaii as a kid once with my grandparents so going as an adult will be different. Either way I plan to be on the beach the majority of the time, so I'm gonna look like a sunburned walrus when I get home.

SDSU, bless them, never saw an offensive possession that they couldn't mess up in some fashion.

Except sometimes they don't, they really need to shut down UConn which could theoretically happen at some point, but hasn't yet.

Are you talking about the fact that permitless carry was signed into law despite objections from every level of law enforcement in the state and 77% of voters? Or that a 6 week abortion ban passed the legislature today? Or that the states budget was passed without any debates, changes, or evaluation by any agencies? Or the fact that a new bill was introduced and fast tracked that changes voting laws to be more restrictive with specific aims to make college age and first time voters have to jump through several additional hoops in order to register?

Oh, this was all done today. That last bill was filed today and faces a committee vote tomorrow to then go to the House for vote.

Edit: or did you mean the illegal arrest of several state officials for protesting the abortion ban this evening.

I hope, as the olds die off, things will improve but I’m not optimistic. The GOP has successfully consolidated power, the Florida DNC is completely gutless, and Florida has become a beacon to the Worst People In America (like Texas and Idaho).

Honestly they’re building a national blueprint there and I’d be way more worried if Desantis wasn’t completely devoid of gravitas.
