@16forbs Ah the more you know. Honestly never would thought of any of them for that purpose. Poplars are common near cooma to jindabyne (no idea why) and i thought of mulberries for berries and willow to sure up erosion in creeks

@TMustafarian Poplar, willow, and white mulberry are considered the 3 quintessential forage trees for livestock.

Lovely. Now I just need the poplar on the left and the bougainvillea in front to shade the new garden shed.

@16forbs Truthfully? Theres a park near cooma with a poplar statue it looks like a giant turd hahaha

@TMustafarian Good forage.

@16forbs Yeh why grow a poplar?

@TMustafarian Why grow poplar?

@TheMindScourge Why do you think they are ashamed about their books? I dont know much about Warren's book

These two books should tell you everything you need to know about politicians’ books There’s no reason to read them. Neither will tell you anything about how their authors have behaved in office. Both appear to be semi-embarrassed by what they wrote

@orthonormalist Who?

there is, basically, one writer on twitter I know of who is: - philosophically inclined - violently experienced - living on some kind of frontier - focused on reproduction and state building (and I believe has six? kids)

@leahprime @deepfates Sufficient sleep and modafinil seems like a contradictory statement

@deepfates sufficient sleep, morning sunlight and 20-30min z2 cardio; modafinil. not caffeine.

Okay weird health twitter. What's the actual stack to just be smarter everyday? Like if you wanted the 80/20 to be functioning at peak mental

@simonsarris @johncollins60 Simon why not replace the chooks with ducks then ? Or are you just done and need a break? I have quail, they are pretty cool - I dont let them free range though

@TMustafarian @johncollins60 I've had both and ducks are better in every way EXCEPT 1. they need water to groom (this is fine) 2. they are dumb as BRICKS. you might think chickens are dumb but chickens are merely midwit birds. Ducks are dumb. You have to herd them back to shelter every single night.

Biggest lesson of 2025 was that trying to make a large ornamental garden and have free-range chickens is completely insane, counter productive

@johncollins60 @simonsarris Hahaha, I like this. My friend had a pet drake when we were growing up, he had alot of personality good memories - so not really an effective replacement if you are in a suburban area and prioritise egg production?

@TMustafarian @simonsarris They're loud, their eggs taste worse and they don't produce many, they're dumb, they don't tolerate many environments, they're messy, they stink, they eat a lot, they're kinda mean. But you can befriend a duck, can't befriend a chicken.

@johncollins60 @simonsarris Please tell more, are ducks better in other ways also? Pros/ cons?

@simonsarris Ducks, always ducks.

@simonsarris Seriously though whats the solution to this ? Seems cruel to keep them in their pen 24/7 and it cant be stopped. Just have a designated area ? Someone mentioned ducks?

@oldbooksguy The conquest of Mexico by William H Presscott

What's a book you consider a masterpiece?

@nosilverv @LifeisMalleable Didnt gel with me, i read part 1 up to the garden of forking paths and it was meh ok. Rest of the stories I didnt really like. I kept feeling kike a smooth brain cos every1 says how good he is. But alas I just couldnt get into it.

@LifeisMalleable 2 stories in and wrote the tweet above, will keep going

Can someone Borges-pill me? Started reading the guy bc of all the aura that’s ascribed to him but so far seems like the laziest writer imaginable

"Some gay loser" 🤣

@minordissent The reformation ushered in modernity and most of what people think of when they think of western excellence.

Personally I think that Catholics and Orthodox should see Protestantism as enemy number one. Luther and the Reformation deconstructed everything that made Christianity stable, functional, and memetically secure. The West's moral and ethical decline and the subsequent postmodern crisis can be traced back directly to the slippery slope the Reformation set in motion. By removing the church hierarchy, abandoning centuries of philosophical refinement, letting the retarded masses interpret the bible themselves, making salvation just about faith, etc, Christianity became completely untethered and this led to rampant ideological mutation. Now there are thousands of sects which call themselves Christian but only retain like 10% of what that meant for over a thousand years. Choosing your denomination is basically like choosing your outfit. It's no longer about molding you to satisfy Christ's preferences but about choosing which version of Christ suits the preferences you already have. And then of course there is the fact that these security holes prevented Protestantism from fending off the Enlightenment, such that all Christian's effectively operate on Enlightenment metaphysics now, which makes Christianity logically incoherent, which led to most intelligent people abandoning it entirely, which led to the creation and subsequent mass adoption of its deformed bastard child Progressivism, which has since one shotted all the women and gentle men. Saying that we need to go back to 1980s or 1950s or 1900s or even 1700s is like saying we need to go back to the Titanic after it hit the iceberg but before it sank. The iceberg was the Reformation. And the ideology which says the iceberg was good actually is definitely not an "ally" just because they say they agree with your objective of preventing the ship from sinking.

@Empty_America For Christians especially it is too much to ask healthy people to be celibate beyond that age. The urges need satiating at some point

It is quite true that most women can marry at 30 and theoretically have 4+ children. It is also true that every sub-group on earth retaining replacement plus fertility "dissents" from the modern late marriage norm, and validates marriage at 18-21. The Pattern is very Clear. Some have been deceived by the fact that the primary issue appears to be social. There appear to be extensive second and third order effects of female marriage age, with later marriage leading to low fertility for reasons that aren't necessarily related to physical fertility at all.

@supply_side_acc @BOMSquadLeader @Empty_America How did they stay virgin's till mid 20s

@BOMSquadLeader @Empty_America Yes since the 1500’s, when fertility rates were much higher. The earliest ages for marriage in that recorded history is in the modern era (the 1950’s baby boom). Prior to that it was firmly in the mid 20’s

@maxlugavere No rice, potato or oats ? What about those starches man !!

If I were broke, these are the foods I’d buy to lose fat and get healthy: - ground beef (85-93%) - frozen/canned fish - rotisserie chicken - chicken thighs - whole eggs - milk - Greek yogurt - frozen berries - frozen veggies - whey protein - beans/lentils

Yes and it was glorious and worth it

Cleopatra (1963) cost so much it nearly sunk 20th Century Fox. What started as a $2M movie exploded into a $44M epic, forcing the studio to sell off land just to stay afloat.
