I’m not sure where you are from, but coming from the US I can say that olive oil gets a bad rap because most of the grocery store stuff is rancid and low quality. I’m currently traveling in Spain and high quality olive oil is truly sublime. Also be aware that, like wine or coffee, different types have vastly different flavors, so see if you can find a specialty shop that will let you sample several and see what you like.

Ooh! Tell me about this! I’m wanting to make a rye sourdough, but I’m having a hard time sourcing rye flour locally. Did you make a starter specifically for rye, or use a more normal flour starter? Anything special to your process? Your grain structure looks great!

I had to look up what this was (I’m from the Midwest). It sounds incredible and I felt my arteries hardening up just looking at the picture! I can’t wait to try it!

This is a great summary! Thanks! I ended up with LogSeq when I did my initial research, but I’ll be sure to dig into the other two!

You had a moment of clarity where your true Self was able to be present and witness the good in the world. This is huge and you should know that a random internet stranger is proud of you for noticing. It is the first step to starting to heal your own inner parts who are still carrying that trauma from decades ago. The next step is to try to bring that enlightenment and understanding inside yourself. Congratulations on your new wisdom!

Quite possibly! I’m much more confident that I’ve driven by this one than I am about the I75 part.

This is definitely in Ohio on I75, North of Cinci. I’m only sad that Touchdown Jesus burned down!

No problem! I recommend the books, “No Bad Parts”, and, “You Are the One You’ve Been Waiting For”, both by Richard Schwartz. The first is about IFS therapy generally. The second is about relationships specifically.

In the world of Internal Family Systems therapy, detaching means unburdening your trauma parts which results in a version of you which is closer to your authentic SELF and is much more capable of meaningful connection and love. Any “need” on your end is a part which is seeking something that it lacked at some point in your development and unburdening that part by learning to provide that need internally rather than seeking it externally allows you to make authentic connections with others without asking them to be something specific for your parts. This allows them to also be authentic and the relationship to be healthier overall.

Ron Howard Narrator Voice: “It wasn’t…”

Is it federated and open source? If not, I’ll pass.

I bought a 2 year old, 2017 BMW i3 and have had basically no range reduction. I primarily charge at home on a level 2 charger. The i3 didn’t have a ton of range to begin with, so if you live in a colder climate, make sure you account for losing some of the stated range during colder months.

This isn’t a meme I can enjoy frequently…

I live in the Cincinnati area. This was required watching. Fun fact: Devil’s Backbone is actually a montage of many hills in the area.

Huh… Ok. I subscribed and am going to try these later.

Ooh! Which one? I’m now excited on your behalf!

Great minds, as they say! 😁 Once you read one of those, send me a message and let me know how you like it!

I highly recommend anything by Becky Chambers. Her Monk and Robot series is the definition of cozy fiction and the space series is also very low stakes, but engaging. I would also recommend the fantasy books, Legends and Lattés, about an orc who stops adventuring to open a coffee shop, and the prequel, Bookshops and Bonedust, which should actually be read after Legends.

Thanks for this! This is how I’m going to refer to the reddit incident from now on!

This is true, but on a personal level I have no idea how to do the calculus for, “My work is killing people, but it would have been worse if it hadn’t.” I think the show “The Good Place” got it right and it is just too interconnected and complicated to actually derive an answer as to whether an action is net negative or positive. That said, if I had to place money on a given action being negative, working for an arms manufacturer would be one I’d be fairly comfortable betting on.
