Ooh! Tell me about this! I’m wanting to make a rye sourdough, but I’m having a hard time sourcing rye flour locally. Did you make a starter specifically for rye, or use a more normal flour starter? Anything special to your process? Your grain structure looks great!

I had to look up what this was (I’m from the Midwest). It sounds incredible and I felt my arteries hardening up just looking at the picture! I can’t wait to try it!

This is a great summary! Thanks! I ended up with LogSeq when I did my initial research, but I’ll be sure to dig into the other two!

You had a moment of clarity where your true Self was able to be present and witness the good in the world. This is huge and you should know that a random internet stranger is proud of you for noticing. It is the first step to starting to heal your own inner parts who are still carrying that trauma from decades ago. The next step is to try to bring that enlightenment and understanding inside yourself. Congratulations on your new wisdom!

Quite possibly! I’m much more confident that I’ve driven by this one than I am about the I75 part.

This is definitely in Ohio on I75, North of Cinci. I’m only sad that Touchdown Jesus burned down!

Now I need to rewatch that whole show just to hear Drummer and Dawes speak. Their accents are the best!

No problem! I recommend the books, “No Bad Parts”, and, “You Are the One You’ve Been Waiting For”, both by Richard Schwartz. The first is about IFS therapy generally. The second is about relationships specifically.

In the world of Internal Family Systems therapy, detaching means unburdening your trauma parts which results in a version of you which is closer to your authentic SELF and is much more capable of meaningful connection and love. Any “need” on your end is a part which is seeking something that it lacked at some point in your development and unburdening that part by learning to provide that need internally rather than seeking it externally allows you to make authentic connections with others without asking them to be something specific for your parts. This allows them to also be authentic and the relationship to be healthier overall.

Ron Howard Narrator Voice: “It wasn’t…”

Is it federated and open source? If not, I’ll pass.

I was basically at my goal weight until I had a medical issue that kept me sedentary for several months, during which time I also stress-ate. I am now better and moving around more and I am remembering how good it feels to be active and appreciating it more this time. If you can move, go move. Not being able to, sucks!

This isn’t a meme I can enjoy frequently…

I live in the Cincinnati area. This was required watching. Fun fact: Devil’s Backbone is actually a montage of many hills in the area.

I’m pretty sure preserves have actual chunks of fruit and jam is made from puree. Jelly is just made from fruit juice.

Huh… Ok. I subscribed and am going to try these later.

Thanks for this! This is how I’m going to refer to the reddit incident from now on!

Getting back into weightlifting and starting to meditate. I highly recommend both things and I also highly recommend not stopping the weightlifting once you start. Everything hurts.

This is true, but on a personal level I have no idea how to do the calculus for, “My work is killing people, but it would have been worse if it hadn’t.” I think the show “The Good Place” got it right and it is just too interconnected and complicated to actually derive an answer as to whether an action is net negative or positive. That said, if I had to place money on a given action being negative, working for an arms manufacturer would be one I’d be fairly comfortable betting on.

I think this question boils down to this: Do your actions have a net positive or a net negative affect on the world? Does working at this company in some way offset the harm that the company is doing downstream? In this case I have a hard time coming up with a reasonable way in which this might be the case. Paying you and your family to have stuff doesn’t offset causing actual death and physical harm.
