You are an instrument that Christ uses to love on his children. And, as is evident here, your wisdom and compassion comes directly from surrender to Him. It's a beautiful thing to see. I'm a decades old atheist myself. Recently shown how foolish I have been. Your story warms my heart.

You breathe and you slow down.... It's ok. The questions can come later. Right now, just take a breath and exhale... and let the world slow down for a second. It's gonna be alright. And you don't have to be strong right now. You can sit down and process it all. I'm so sorry for your loss. This world is cruel.

I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how to feel. How do I do this? How is my Dad gone?? He just beat fucking cancer. This wasn’t supposed to happen this way. I didn’t even get to see him one last time. #grief #parentloss #mydad

Literally nothing better than this. And I had to work my ass off for decades to have it. Taking a comfortable unremarkable life for granted, or even worse turning up your nose at it, is the peak of entitlement to me.

Took my son out of school to play hooky in honor of his 13th birthday. We got haircuts and ate at Raising Cane's, which is apparently where middle school boys most want to dine. Then we went bowling together. He is a good-hearted young man full of love and I see in him the strong foundation of the man he will soon be.

realizing my software engineering is cooked in about 3 years and i need to figure out what to do next

Founder of @signalapp, @moxie Marlinspike on Telegram:   "Telegrams not a private messenger. There's nothing private about it. It's the opposite. It's a cloud messenger where every message you've ever sent or received is in plain text in a database that telegram the organization controls and has access to it" "It's like 'Russian oligarch starts unencrypted version of WhatsApp', a pixel for pixel clone of WhatsApp. That should be kind of a difficult brand to operate. And somehow, they've done a really amazing job of convincing the whole world that this is an encrypted messaging app and that the founder is some kind of Russian dissident, even though he goes there once a month, the whole team lives there, and their families are there." " What happened in France is they just chose not to respond to the subpoena. And so that's in violation of the law. And, he gets arrested in France, right? And everyone's like, oh, France, but I think the key point is they have the data, like they can respond to the subpoenas where as Signal, for instance, doesn't have access to the data and couldn't respond to that same request.  To me it's very obvious that Russia would've had a much less polite version of that conversation with Pavel Durov and the telegram team before this moment.

@driesvints @openclaw I git version the memory folder but never the .openclaw config. it can have secrets embedded in different places other than .openclaw/secrets . I have a different OS level cron job for config that compresses, encrypts, and uploads to drive.

The first thing I did when setting up @openclaw was set up a private GitHub repo to back it up to. I asked it to sync any changes every 10 minutes or so. So it's easy for me to recover it when the VPS ever crashes and burns.

@GuyFieri you should do a GGG episode where contestants have to fill up a @zipline drone from a local Walmart and the drones drop off their orders directly onto their tables.

When I’m having a hard day I close my eyes and put my hand on my chest and remember my son laying there as a baby. I can still kind of remember the way he smelled in that new to the world 0-6 month phase. He woke up every 2-3 hours through the night for over a year. I was a new mom under the pressures of post separation abuse and family court chaos. I chose my electric bill over groceries a few months in that season and used food pantries. It’s hard to describe how truly bad the circumstances of that time in my life were, and I would do every single moment of it over to experience him as a baby for another day. I cannot emphasize enough how absolutely wonderful babies are. And I know not everyone feels that way, but I did and it seems a feeling worth sharing.

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

@MattGialich I love Dragonfly..An autonomous ~1,000-pound, radioisotope-powered octocopter flying for years in −290°F temps on Titan is exactly the kind of near-impossible science mission NASA exists to achieve.

If you have kids, this will hit hard. You’ve been warned 😭

As you start today with all the motivation in the world, remember this: it won’t last. Build a routine. Do it no matter what. When you really can’t, don’t quit or beat yourself up, just do it the next day. Show up, over and over. It is the only thing that works.

This is the exact moment when I switched from supporter to believer.

It’s time for the #ChristmasTreeParade. Show us yours!

@DopaminePlsMe Don't do this in a personal setting. Conversations are so much more than a transaction of information. Stop, look in their eyes, and be present with them. Do they need an acknowledgement? A smile or concern? I pray that someone listens to you like that when you need it most.

I am not interrupting you because I am rude. I am interrupting because my brain is running on Fiber Optic broadband, and you are speaking in Dial-Up. I have already auto-completed your sentence three times in my head. Waiting for you to verbally catch up feels like watching a loading bar stuck at 99%.

@kentcdodds focus on MCP creation skills is right on the money. It's no longer a "nice to have" skill. It's essential. Your AI agents should have as much context as you do. Ex: I wanted Gemini cli to have the same dynamic context that Antigravity does github.com/nathanbarrett/…

@spatie_be I used your excellent AI context file for Laravel (spatie.be/guidelines/ai) and used it as a starter pack! Just run `npx dynamic-context-mcp init` inside of any Laravel project. github.com/nathanbarrett/…
