Epigenetics are just genetics that are influenced by environment. Technically speaking, it is a God-given inherent trait, but understanding it allows you to tease it out through herd management, a big part of which is nutrition. You made a good point about switching genes off again. That...

That's what I've been thinking. We'll find out in May what the Kentucky republicans think about it. Personally, I think one Trump at a time is plenty. I would prefer representatives be a bit more independent and represent their constituents, like they're supposed to do.

I'd be happier with longer seasons and fewer tags.

The images are attached to comments that are talking about a future event. They're illustrating how they think ICE will be met by the people of Springfield this coming week.

Silver popped and dropped this morning, and the Nikkei is up over 1.5% already. No idea what to make of that. I'll check tomorrow morning to see how things shook out in the Asian markets. Then I'll be watching the European markets to see if there's a move to be made when I start trading at...

Jeez. In Ohio we get 13 days, including the 4 day muzzleloader season. If you can't afford a muzzleloader, you get 7 days, which always starts on a Monday. Them two weeks later you get 2 more days. That's why I bought a crossbow.

Not gonna happen, Sisyphus. People are desperate for the bucks they see on TV, or any buck. Plus it gives meat hunters more flexibility with their season.

Social Security is just a safety net to prevent abject poverty. What you are proposing is a sovereign wealth fund like what Norway has. A better idea is to teach children about investing and budgeting and other money management skills in school. We could call the class Home Economics. Oh...

Wage growth in terms of buying power fell off starting in 1979.

It sounds like you've made up your mind and are looking for encouragement. Well. I'm happy to provide it. A good compromise would be to keep practicing with your bow but invest the money in a crossbow rather than another vertical. You don't have to retire the vertical, just keep it around as...

Yeah. It's not crossbow hunters that are ruining hunting. It's the dorkwads on TV that promote unethical hunting and the yahoos that buy into their bullcrap antics. I can't watch hunting shows anymore. Haven't for years. It's almost always a dude in a stand over a foodplot flogging hunting...

Summer is when they have the most capacity. As far as your in-laws, that's a very individual issue. Without knowing anything about them and your relationship with them, it would be difficult to speculate. I might start by telling them you are trying planning your estate and would like some...

Do you suspect they are hoarding some as prices go up? I get the feeling they're not being totally honest. If I owned a silver mining company, and prices were skyrocketing, I'd be tempted to warehouse some of it and sell it off slowly when prices plateau.

That sounds amazing. Enjoy your trip.

I think your idea of burning is good. It will remove thatch, increase soil pH, return nutrients to the soil, and add stable carbon to the soil. Then, when the field starts to grow again, stake off about a quarter acre and nuke it. Disc lightly, and plant a diverse mix of annuals and...
