A series of meetings after the death of a Georgian former seminarian take an unexpected turn

Young boy joins neighborhood association, but over time, he regrets his choice and eventually leaves their employ.

Never got around to posting, but credit to @MoMonuments on delivering a high-quality George Washington statue.
I'm looking forward to a world with more monuments!

@KKriegeBlog I watched the movie with a skeptical eye after reading your posts first. Instead of a travesty, I found it to be quite surprisingly true to early American history. Not sure why your cynicism is so disproportional to what the film merits.
English
I think the most worrying sign regarding Young Washington, from the clips that I have seen so far is that it is making me go, "Hey, the Patriot got some stuff right!"
English
Sobriquet. Moniker. Epithet. Callsign. Alias. Pseudonym. Nickname.
I shouldn't be surprised at how many words we have for this concept.
English
@paulg @PalmerLuckey @ryanleichty I rather think he's suggesting that you're being disingenuous with your arguments here, which you clearly are on both illegal immigration and Christianity.
English
@PalmerLuckey @ryanleichty If you're trying to suggest that Christians all reject evolution, there are a lot of Christians who'd like a word with you.

In the future people won't believe it ever got this bad. But it did.

In many parts of the country now, ICE pays state police set up immigration checkpoints in the interior of the United States. The assault on our freedom as Americans is unrelenting.
English
@romanhelmetguy Yeah, but if you run concurrent training on a new painter from a 1,000 hour paint-cluster-farm you can generate a new painter 10 hours and corner the paint economy. At least until orbital paint centers become viable.
English
Ten hours produces a painting, ten thousand hours produces a painter. There is more beauty in a painter than in their paintings. In a world where AI can produce paintings, we must still produce painters.

“Arrived”? I thought you fabricated all your own components!
“100% in house for speed”

Stage one and two blisks for the first Symphony engine have arrived. We’re finished building the turbine rotor and now we can start building the compressor.
English
@luke_leisher_ Yeah. The entire stock is a play on faith in Starship. Small chance of success, but if successful...
English
I think if starship succeeds in becoming fully and rapidly reusable it’s more likely than not that Elon will also become the world’s first quadrillionare.

@Logistorian @malcolmguite Oh neat! It’s a quote from a Wendell Berry poem “How to be a Poet”
English
@orthodoxmason That was a @malcolmguite quote in open.spotify.com/episode/5qn0YU…. Can't remember if he was paraphrasing Aquinas or not? But I found it quite striking.
English
A retelling of the Robin Hood legend set in modern day Appalachia, with a veteran forced into outlawry by a corrupt Sheriff, having to then escape to the George Washington National Forest and employ SERE skills to evade detection. He saves a number of people in the towns from the Sheriff's schemes, and gradually becomes a folk hero and accumulates a band of merry men until they finally take down the sheriff and the whole regional government structure that has aided and abetted him. Strictly light-hearted and fictional, of course.

Tell me your book idea, and I'll give you the correct title. 📙
I'm serious; post it now. 👇
English
@CJHandmer I think it's a powerful statement of growth and flourishing to build grand monuments in today's age of which constantly seeks to tear down and reject the symbols of the past.
English
We should build this. If it sucks, we can demolish it and try again.

I think we need to build this. I designed this below image, representing Lewis and Clark on the Mississippi in the style of Argonath. At $1 Billion or more, I think it can be done.

@orthodoxmason Think the point is less about honoring Gen 002 Founders and more "Corps of Discovery" that opened the gateway to the West beyond the Mississippi.
English
Well, if we are going for honoring the second generation of founders, I’d say Quincy Adams and Henry Clay are a far better pairing.
English
Boosters are further along in their testing regime. Wouldn't be surprised if they had higher confidence in their catch and reuse. If so, that would move the bottleneck from Booster(5) to Ship(10), assuming Stage 0(2?) isn't a serious bottleneck.
Either way. A series of successes now will tell the tale. Same as a series of failures might.
English
@Logistorian Fair enough. But they're finishing up their transport barge, so I'd expect them to have a few extra stages to send to the Cape before the end of the year. With just ~5 boosters for all of 2026 (B19 won't be recovered), what are they sending?
English
I honestly thought they could build a bit more vehicles with a *full* assembly line.
To be fair this would be a very good production rate if the boss wasn't insisting Starship is going to fly 10,000 times per year in "about 3, but no more than 4 years"... 🙄
Elon Musk@elonmusk
@SciGuySpace The Starship production pipeline is full and will complete roughly 10 more ships and about half that number of boosters this year, so, if something goes wrong, it will not be a major setback, unless the launch stand is destroyed
English
@0xAlaric What was your plan if you found something intriguing? You mentioned no tools to investigate...

Starship V3 has 50 cameras, with 480 Mbps Starlink connectivity onboard.
