@simonsarris This is why I have a wife and my job. Just called up the number I got and asked for a position.
English
The corollary is you simply need to do things no one else is willing to do. Find a relationship by actually pursuing someone. Walk in the front door to get a job.
A bespoke life is still open to everyone. The number of people that want to put in the footwork is lower than ever

hiring is impossible BECAUSE it's so easy to apply finding a relationship is impossible BECAUSE new dates are a swipe away getting into university is hard BECAUSE you can CommonApp apply to 50 at once convenience is washing away friction that actually carried a lot of signal

@powerbottomdad1 What you need is a heavy straw hat. This is a solved problem. RETVRN
I have a matching one. This inspired my son and before we leave the house we get our hats together. You gotta model the behavior you want.
My son loves to wear his hat and sometimes even sleeps in it.

@simonsarris @rohindhar Yeah I’m mostly on +$1,000 sq ft houses and it’s all engineered like 3/16” wood veneer engineered flooring. I prefer it honestly to solid 3/4” flooring. A lot of benefits.
English
@rohindhar Do you mean LVP? For 99% of buyers, even in the luxury segment, won't be able to tell engineered hardwood is not "full hardwood" (it is real hardwood, on top of layers)
Lots of high end architects prefer engineered hardwood simply because it won't warp like full wood.
English
If you’re doing a high end house flip
I don’t think you can use engineered hardwood floors anymore
Gotta go with the real thing

@AustinTunnell @UrbanCourtyard Working in Florida we do this all the time. Seems like CMU block wall is a great compromise between structural brick and modern efficiency.
English
I actually really like stucco. But so rarely done well in the US, often because it’s done over a wood substrate and has to have a bunch of control joints because of the movement.
While we do mostly brick right now, I want to do more concrete block structures (still super durable) and then stucco over.
English
Periodic reminder that stucco is low cost and looks fantastic on attached buildings (but for some reason looks tacky on large stand-alone buildings)
English
@NickTurco919 100% it isn’t an issue. It’s superficial. Stick frame houses with modern lumber will last 100 years if you keep a roof over it.
It speaks to the beauty of wood. Fantastic material even degraded it works well
English
People keep posting this, but does it really make a difference in real life?
There have been tens of millions of homes built with the modern lumber and they seem to be holding up well structurally

Something I've learned the hard way is that a 2x4 isn't actually 2 inches by 4 inches. It used to be, but not anymore because of course.
English
It’s cool seeing someone find things to love in your hometown. San Antonio is like the girl next door and is overshadowed by nearby gold rush cities like Austin but has its own charms for the discerning person.

King William district in San Antonio today

@moseskagan Consider doing this in Miami & Austin. Id fly out to do this.

Phoenix real estate people:
My friends Andrew Segal & Chris DeRose are trying to convince me Phoenix is the future.
To get better acquainted with the real estate scene there, am hosting an early evening meet-up on *April 9* for RE owners, brokers, attorneys, etc.
Drinks, etc. on me. Location TBD, but somewhere reasonably central.

The secret to a mom being happy is that they are with their baby all the time but also have breaks for their alone time, also they should work a cute 200k job but not more than 3 days a week, and they should spend all their time with their baby but not too much of their time
English
Enjoyed The Product with some good friends, both brilliant people, though I could not contribute much to the conversation having lost my voice. The Big Arch was tasty 8/10. Would eat again. I think more brands should do limited time meme food drops. In the attention economy, seduce my attention. It also gives an occasion for friends to get excited about something that they would normally not care about. Life as game or spectacle.
English
@Empty_America It’s extremely odd. Theirs always an attempt to bring one of these doohickey’s to the US. But Americans won’t pay a cent for any of the benefits of a solid heavy structure.
English
German house building is fascinating, they MUST have it be massive, tangibly heavy, etc.
They also make great use of massive terra-cotta type structural "tiles" of over 12" thick.
New homes often have walls like a fortress.
VanRaalte, Agro-Nationalist@AgroNationalism
We are tired of stick built, toxic insulation, drywall with toxic paint, asphalt homes. Lets get creative and get young men building new styles of homes. The money will come. Have faith.

@Pronatalism Mother Goose is a linguistic reprogramming psycho active drug. The rhyme and language captivates all children and adults alike. So strange and magical
Rub a dub dub three men in a tub!
English
If you could only have one book for children under five, it probably should be a good anthology of Mother Goose nursery rhymes. There are many charming versions at wildly different price points. The one we enjoy most often is Lavender’s Blue illustrated by Harold Jones.
English
@sarah_cone All kinds. Clearly density is the most rational method.
But I’d also be sympathetic to using watersheds

This is such an insane issue. Surely there's some way to computationally fairly draw election maps and not make it subject to a political process--what is it?
Barack Obama@BarackObama
Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack. Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections. Now Virginia has a chance to help level the playing field. If you live in the Commonwealth, early voting begins March 6, and Election Day is on April 21. Vote YES.

BREAKING:
Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto:
“We will deploy a multi-domain force in the Middle East, with air-defense systems against drones and missiles.
Together with the Spanish and the French, we will bring assistance to Cyprus”

@simonsarris 8 1/2 is far better. The humming flight of the valkery scene and style of Mastroianni is so delightful I think of it at each fountain I see.

Marcello is in desperate pursuit of something in the city, but he doesn't know what. The movie starts at a time when he "has" ambitions, but its obvious its "had" by that point, he can't bring himself to even talk about them any more.
English
watched La Dolce Vita (1960) a few nights ago, which is mostly about various forms of self-pitying and desperately triyng to find satisfaction in post-war Rome. But I came to the same conclusion, the city (and attendant gossip) acts as a sort of daycare for adults.
Cree@creebeauvoir
convinced that everyone who is afraid to have children because it’s 'tiring' or 'time consuming' is largely due to the fact they live in a city. cities are playgrounds for adults. move to nature, your child will never be bored & you will have more time.
