@haydendevs Making a hypertext transfer protocol request to get anything other than hypertext markup language feels so wrong. ftfy

@TheLaurenChen You spelled prison wrong.

@RobertHaisfield Your post literally says this is not a joke.

I repeat - IT'S A JOKE referencing another tweet that got really big and the general risks of connecting an agent to your investments, GPT-5.6 Sol is an awesome model

None can deny that the costs of homeownership are significant. Of course, these costs can be mitigated, but the mitigations involve serious deviations from the present-day housing norms. The Amish have it figured out. Small houses, low-maintenance, standing seam metal roofs. No electric. Minimal plumbing and hand-pump (or gas motor pumped) water lines, all self-winterizing. Slab foundations. Wood siding they mill themselves. Tons of cheap labor locally in their communities. And they tend to like ultra-low-cost deep rural regions with ample timber. Sometimes I wonder if they stay living the way they do simply because they are cheap. There's just no question that if you can tolerate the Schwartzentruber Amish type lifestyle, it's the absolute cheapest form of homeownership you could imagine in our era and climate. But of course, if you can't tolerate that kind of life, the maintenance bills are gonna mount up. The modern HVAC drywall boxes people live in are, as compared with the forms of housing that have predominated for the last thousand years, egregiously expensive to maintain. Once again, expensive things cost a lot of money, and if you are addicted to expensive things, you will pay a lot of money for them. The only way out is to accept a standard that is closer to the historical mean, and most will never consider doing this.

@mattgaetz The "guts"? He is doing exactly what he was hired to do.

This is what happens when the Senate Majority Leader doesn’t have the guts to fire the Parliamentarian.

@charlesbonnerjr Israel?

Where did Milei go?

@RT_com He speaks as if he's comfortable with foreigners raping his daughters.

Andy Burnham acknowledges that becoming UK’s SEVENTH PM since 2016 requires 'reflection and new resolution'

@johnkonrad A lot of this doesn't even apply anymore. You can buy an all cotton button down and all cotton khakis from Amazon for like $30.

One more thing: get comfortable looking weird. Who cares if your clothes look simple (you should have one or two great outfits for church)? Who cares if you look like a dork wearing a scoutmaster uniform? Who cares if you feel like a jerk riding into town of an electric scooter because you only have one car and your wife is using it? Who cares if your clothes are a little dirty on vacation because you are sleeping at a campground in a borrowed tent? Nobody cares but you. Your kids will complain to your face, yes, that’s what kids do… but they will brag to their friends at school about that backpacking fishing trip you took them on guaranteed. And those rich kids will ask their parents why they took them to boring Paris rather than a hike on the Appalachian Trail. Trust me, I know.

I grew up poor, raised by a man with an Ivy League degree. 3 luxuries matter: Home-cooked meals. A car that starts every time you turn the key. Two weeks of vacation each year. Everything else is BE. And yes, I said luxuries. We ate at one reasonably priced restaurant maybe six times a year. I didn’t even taste sushi until I was in college. Even those luxuries were limited. Every meal was made with store-brand groceries. The cars were reliable used cars. Ask AI for “the most reliable used car with the lowest resale value.” Vacations = free museums, state parks, beaches, battlefields, and camping. No Disney. Hershey or Six Flags maybe once a year. The essentials? Clothes: Salvation Army. Honestly, this one sucked, but today Walmart & Target make it easier. Fixer-upper: I’m talking serious problems. You need a solid foundation, walls & a roof. Everything else can be fixed with Harbor Freight tools, YouTube, and sweat equity. We literally bought an abandoned house in a good neighborhood. I live in rural Massachusetts. My neighborhood has $1 million homes. I bought an abandoned house and restored it, but just outside my neighborhood there are still homes for $300,000. Medical: Before settling down, one of you should get a government job with benefits or join the military before having kids. Time: This is the hardest part. My dad was a firefighter, so he’d work double shifts, then spend his days off repairing the house. Activities: Boy Scouts, Civil Air Patrol, church choir, church camp, etc. Sign your kids up for free or cheap activities. Education: Teach your kids everything you know. Read to them for an hour every night. DAD INTEL: This is the big one. Build a network. Know where to get discounted building materials, who has tools, who’ll loan you a trailer or skid steer. Firefighters, cops, National Guard members, tradesmen & church communities have always been great for this, but those networks are disappearing. Family: Live within three hours of relatives if you can. Someday you’ll need emergency babysitting or another guy to help lift something heavy. What to avoid like the plague: NO COSTCO: Unless you’re extremely disciplined, you’ll buy more than you need. NO HOME DEPOT: Lumber isn’t always the best value, tools are overpriced, and those marble countertops start looking “necessary.” Formica from a local building supply works just fine. NO FLIGHTS. We won a trip to London when I was five. It nearly bankrupted us. No flights anywhere. Fast food. This was my dad’s biggest weakness because it was cheap and easy. Again: NO RESTAURANTS. They add up fast, and you’re paying for convenience more than nutrition. No drinking or drugs. Bad decisions usually start with small compromises. No expensive hobbies. Your hobby is fixing the house, improving the yard, and coaching your kid’s Little League team. Fish from shore if you want a hobby. Dig for worms. You don’t need $15 lures. No subscriptions. You don’t need Netflix. I have plenty of money now and didn’t even own a TV until recently. You don’t need home security cameras if you own an inexpensive firearm. You don’t need Uber or constant Amazon deliveries. Now the big one: You’ll feel like shit. You’ll think you’ve failed as a dad. You’ll envy the families with nicer houses, newer cars, and bigger vacations. Don’t. This is not a competition. Your job is to be a great father, love your wife, raise capable kids, and become a productive member of society. The antidote is gratitude. Go to church. Every Sunday, thank God for what you have. Gratitude is critical. It also helps if your work serves the public: firefighter, police officer, teacher, construction worker, sanitation worker, military. Mental health problems? Start with the basics. Stay physically active, journal for 30 minutes a day & pray a full rosary. “But John, that’s extreme.” Maybe. But you’ll still be better off than 80% of Europoors.

@all__hype @BigSkyDevCon Looks like @aureliaeffect

@majdav_ @BigSkyDevCon This is my own creation “hype apps”

My favorite thing about @BigSkyDevCon over the last two years has been the insane projects people share Honored to add my own insane project to the mix next week — going to demo on stage the complete hypermedia mobile language and framework I created for myself over the last few years Why, you ask, in the age of ai, would anyone be creating a new language? You got a lot of nerve

@PTBwrites This is America, when you need something you pay for it. Wtf.

Do married parents not need babysitters?

@toiletkingcap Not me! 47 was a mistake!

Seriously what fucking person alive is willing to stand behind this being ok? Every single person involved is complicit in the pillaging of what America once was

@RT_on_X Didn't Iran just bomb a desalination plant as well? Or you only report one side?

US bombs desalination plant in Iran’s Hormozgan province: 'blatant WAR CRIME' — Tasnim

@ScottPresler Chester County, PA began the 2020 election count with 30k more votes for Biden than Trump with 0% reporting, according to NY times data. Maybe a glitch. Maybe they stole the election. Who knows?

Chester County, PA, is refusing to provide the entire non-juror list. It appears they have purposely filtered out the non-citizen list. We are assessing our legal options.

@Kacper_PK_CH $ARLP or nah?

@AlesBuildsStuff @CommandCodeAI Because he struggles with decimal points.

@majdav_ @CommandCodeAI Why is that?

Kimi K3 vs GPT-5.6 Sol vs Fable 5 Three top-tier models. Same /design prompt across all. Parameters reviewed: Pace, design sense, gameplay feel Result: Kimi K3 nails the design sense and knows exactly what to add in-game. Pace and gameplay held up well. Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol both play too fast, video isn't sped up. Ranking (DX, Features & Cost): → Kimi K3: 9.5/10 · $0.030 → Fable 5: 7.5/10 · $0.38 → GPT-5.6 Sol: 7/10 · $0.11

@AlesBuildsStuff @CommandCodeAI I guess I won't be building stuff with Ales.

@CommandCodeAI How is kimi 3x more expensive than GPT?

@RapidResponse47 Did China put the suitcases of ballots under the tables in Atlanta? Or did they just send everyone home and say the counting stopped so they could be counted in secret?

Yes, Chris, that’s literally the point. It was purposely kept from President Trump and the American people in an unprecedented coverup to undermine his first administration and his 2020 campaign.
