@Felisa017868351 @Architectolder She’s beautiful!

[Ryan @blhack]

@Felisa017868351 @Architectolder Is that a peace rose?

[Ryan @blhack]

@Architectolder The scent is unbelievable. We have lots of other whites (Francis Meiland, French Lace), but the scent of these is just something else. My sister, who is a much better rosarian than I am, gets gigantic grapefruit sized flowers from hers, and they're amazing.

[Ryan @blhack]

@Architectolder Oklahoma also struggling. C'mon little buddy you can do it!

[Ryan @blhack]

@Architectolder Francis Meilland that is flowering well, but still struggling in the AZ summer heat:

@ADoricko @SovereignsCap It's the responsibility of everybody who builds things to understand that they're building the world that everyone lives in.

Man, this is the EXACT thing my wife and I have gone though and it's a really unsettling transition. Before kids we were completely untethered. We intentionally worked just enough to support our lifestyle, lived in an extremely cheap house, and spent our lives teaching and traveling, and always somehow figuring out how to make it all work.

Now that the kids are here...we don't want to take those risks. We need jobs, and money, and more of a normal house, and travel needs to mean some version of a stable place to sleep, not just sleeping in random ditches in the woods.

The paradox is that some managed version of those risks is likely what makes high agency, intelligent, active kids; the exact type we want.

We talk a lot about wanting to model what a normal life looks like for our kids, just so that they have the option of that life if they want it, but even that is a challenge because neither of us has ever really been a normal adult with a normal job/life.

The best hack is that we frame almost everything we do through the lens of education and agency. We want to build a house in the woods with the kids yes, because we want to live in the woods, but also because we want the kids to see the process required to take raw land and turn it into something useful.

We want a garden yes because gardens are great , but also because gardening is a lesson in biology and chemistry. etc. etc.

@MfkChr @jordanbramble Yeah yeah yeah rust this rust that.

The bros have reached criticality. There's no going back now.

Antares Mark-0 has achieved initial criticality! ⚛️

@paulg @promptborzai It’s because most vets have been rolled up by larger and larger corps and prices have gone insane; most vet visits now are also captive sales pitches while you’re in the exam room.

The conservative angle is likely aligns with the pit bull issue.

@HunterBiden Hunter go on the Rudy Giuliani podcast.

@contractorkeith That’s no way to talk about essential craftsman.

@serialunrigger @signulll If you ever thought that there was ever a point at burning man where this wasn’t the case then you were confused.

What do you think the people building insane fire effects do during the rest of the year? Many build fire effects but they point the other direction ;-)

[Ryan @blhack]

@signulll This is actually an 11/10 playa name and I hope she kept it.

@JohnGild88 @shagbark_hick What are some of the differences which you think are the most important between the Byzantine Rite and, for instance, the Greek Orthodox church?

[Ryan @blhack]

@CanadianFyrdman @shagbark_hick In what way is it different?

[Ryan @blhack]

@shagbark_hick *Greek.

[Ryan @blhack]

These people who are claiming that the EO is special in some way should just go to a Byzantine Rite Divine Liturgy. It’s fully Catholic, in communion with Rome, but with identical churches, liturgy, aesthetics, theology etc.

It literally IS the EO, but just rejoined the Catholic Church.

We’ve gone. It’s interesting. The idea of Theosis is beautiful. The way they do the Eucharist is interesting. The whole thing is beautiful.

The orthobros can have ALL of that, they don’t actually need to leave the church to do it. The entire online “based trad orthodox” stuff is just contrarianism, and it’s a bit silly unless your family has been in it for generations or sometime. The idea that people are “converting” to the Green Orthodox Church is silly.

@idealust If you think that the SpaceX IPO is about to wipe out everybody's 401k, then you should invest in beans and rice and diesel and buy a bunker somewhere.
