I’ve been running hard these past weeks, from D.C.... to New Jersey to states across the country. Long days. Too little sleep. Fired up by what’s happening in our nation. And yet, in the middle of all of it, I keep meeting people carrying burdens heavier than mine who still choose kindness. Recently, I went into a hot kitchen after an event to thank the staff preparing the food. One man was sweaty, clearly grinding through a long day. I thanked him and started to walk away when he stopped me and said: “Hey man, you okay? You look like you need a hug.” I was stunned. I came to encourage them, and somehow he saw me. Truth is, I did need that hug. That moment reminded me: kindness is power. Seeing people is power. Taking even 30 seconds to lift someone up can change their whole day. Today, check on someone. Thank someone. Encourage someone. You never know who needs the hug.show more

The journey of creating Game Worlds began 28 years... ago. A bunch of people came together under one roof to share their stories with the world. The first games were burned onto CDs and passed from one person to another, bringing together folks with different life stories and backgrounds. Friends gathered around old screens, immersing themselves in something completely unique and new. With enthusiasm and fresh ideas, the Game Worlds expanded. The stories left imprints on people's hearts and souls, inspiring the development team to create even more of them. We've always been in this together — cossacks, heroes, stalkers, and the GSC Game World team. It's you who breathe life into our worlds, and you're the ones who can live our stories and share them with others. We're thrilled to create for you. Yep, you are like the blood cells of our A-Life Game Worlds. So important that without you, nothing would exist. Thanks for being with us on our 28th Anniversary.show more

GM. Do you want to escape every day life... and experience the paradise of Puerto Rico? Be close to the beach, mountains, jungle, and great food? Excited to officially announce what rae rae and I have been working on for MONTHS… your new tropical getaway Casita de Cruz! We paired this experience with its own NFT valid for a three day stay redemption. The problem we have seen with NFTs like this is that the consumer is purchasing on a whim and a prayer. Either the place isn’t ready, space isn’t acquired, or just plain will never happen. Casita de Cruz is ready to go! You can book your stay now, no waiting for a turn around. We designed this space for people who are wanting to disconnect & recharge. Nestled in nature, this is your time to retreat, tap into self, the earth, & resurface fully renewed. This has been a labor of love & we hope that you can feel every bit of our passion poured into this space. We will be launching this token later this month and will be doing AMA spaces plus some fun giveaways. RT and tag someone who you want to experience this with!show more

During the January massacre, the regime’s murderous thugs were... chasing a group of protesters through the streets of Iran. As they fled for their lives into a building, the brave Mohammad Jabbari stayed behind. He held the door shut with his own body for as long as he could, refusing to run, so others could escape to safety. The regime's thugs smashed against the door, then shot him at close range and murdered him on the spot. He gave his life without hesitation to protect his fellow Iranians. Mohammad Jabbari is one of more than 35,000 innocent people slaughtered in the January massacre. He was an honorable hero whose courage will inspire generations. We will never forget his name, or the countless other heroes who fought with unmatched valor against the enemies of humanity. Your sacrifice will not be in vain. Iran will be free.show more

Axie started in 2018. Creatures you could collect, battle,... and raise while learning about a magical new technology called blockchain. Part of the original concept were axie homes called Terrariums. Places where your axies could live, get stronger, and harvest resources. Battles ended up getting prioritized instead, and Terrariums got shelved. But for eight years, that original idea held a special place in our hearts. Terrariums are a nod to that original dream. We're hard at work and our goal is to deliver the first version in late June. Here's how they'll work on day one: 1. You activate a plot of land. 2. You put your axies on it. 3. Every hour, the world ticks forward on its own. While you're away, your land is working. 4. It earns a reward called bAXS, the in-game currency that feeds back into the broader Axie economy. 5. To stay running, your land burns a fuel called Lunium. You get it two ways: buy packs, or let your land generate it slowly for free. 6. How much you earn scales with your axie power, a stat currently called Atia's Flame. Stronger (collectible) axies earn more points. More points means a bigger share of the prize pool. 7. Each land type has its own pool, split between everyone who owns that type. 8. There will be free terrariums that can be used to earn axie experience points (but not bAXS). These should also be useful for onboarding newcomers. The day-to-day is simple by design as we want to make sure that the gameplay is easy to grasp at first and doesn't become a grind for landowners.

The moisture question always comes up when I post... pics of my indoor pools on my new builds. Step by step below on how I control it. We create a room where moisture can’t escape into other areas of the home while also having a mechanical system in place to pull the moisture out of the air so mildew/mold don’t ever develop in the pool room itself. In the STR space, investors are trying to stand out. Pools rent. Indoor pools rent even better. You can swim in the winter or summer. 1) Pool is always built on lowest floor inside (generally basement structure) 2) Concrete block wall for basement with very little wood frame 3) Densglass (kind of like a moisture resistant drywall) attached to concrete block 4) Special stucco just like you see on exterior of homes sprayed onto Densglass. The stucco is dyed to color of my choice. 5) Industrial grade dehumidifier (I use Santa Fe or Watchdog Brand). The humidity pulled from air is pumped back into the pool system near the mechanical room or outside. 6) Mini split for the pool room. Main floor HVAC covers the sleeping rooms, bathroom of basement and is always separated from pool room. You don’t want chlorinated air running through a main HVAC system. I look at having to replace the minisplit & dehumidifier about every 4 to 5 yrs because of the chlorinated air that goes through them. 7) Exhaust Fan leading to exterior which also pulls humid air out of the room as a supplemental support for the dehumidifier. When overhead lights are turned on, we have it so the exhaust fan kicks on as well. That’s it. We create a “bubble”, where no moisture gets into the other areas of home and the humid air gets pulled from the pool room.show more

🚨HAPPENING NOW: Leftwing agitators are swarming the University of... Memphis ahead of tonight's campus event with Kyle Rittenhouse, chanting "Lock his a** up" and later "F*** his a** up." The school has gone to incredible lengths to hamstring this event, including: 1 - Forcing us to change our ticketing system the day of the event. The university's excuse is they want to ensure "fair and equitable" ticketing. This means the hundreds of students who thought they had tickets will not get in. This has never happened at one of our events. 2 - Protester groups were somehow tipped off about the school's new ticketing system and the timing of when they'd be made available, allowing them to reserve large numbers of tickets to stage a walk out. We know this because our students are also in those group chats and alerted us. This also has never happened before. 3 - We had thousands of people register for tickets to this event, but the school would only give us a venue with 330 seat. No overflow. No larger venue. 4 - Our chapter president has been doxxed with his number and address published on social media. The campus police and school administrator shrugged their shoulders. 5 - The administration has said they cannot step in or ask protesters to leave if they attempt to disrupt the event or shout down Kyle. 6 - The school has allowed into the event the student that doxxed our chapter president, knowing this person was responsible for the doxxing. 7 - The protestors have entered the event and are taping the names of the people involved in Kyle Rittenhouse’s legal defense. The school is not stopping them. This is what happens when school administrators pander to petulant children. You get chaos. Our brave students will press forward but this is unacceptable, especially in a Tennessee. Memphis had record homicides last year, but apparently our students and Kyle Rittenhouse are the problem for the University of Memphis. Julio Rosas FRONTLINES TPUSA Turning Point USAshow more

🙏🇺🇸🙏 Staff Sergeant Clarence Odell 'Clancy' Lyall - the... Cherokee paratrooper of Easy Company, the good-hearted farm boy who jumped alone into Normandy, fought from D-Day to Berchtesgaden, survived Dien Bien Phu by crawling to a river in the dark, and lived every inch of his life on the forward edge. He was born on October 14, 1925, in Orange, Texas, the son of Arthur Edward Lyall, a Scottish sailor who transported oil between the United States and Scotland, and Beulah, a Cherokee Indian from Oklahoma. Arthur had made a trip to the United States specifically to see the indigenous peoples of Oklahoma, and there he met Beulah Mitchell, married her, and she moved with him to Orange, Texas, to build a farm. On June 6, 1944, Clancy Lyall jumped into Normandy, France. He landed in a tree about two miles from Sainte-Mère-Eglise, heavily loaded with equipment, stuck in the branches, unable to get down until his friend Jim Campbell found him and freed him. They were far from their designated drop zone. The night drop had scattered men across miles of the Norman countryside, and Clancy found himself operating under the responsibility of the 82nd Airborne Division, attached to Company B, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, fighting the Germans around Sainte-Mère-Eglise for three days before returning to Carentan to rejoin the 506th. He had fought his first battle with another unit. He had not hesitated for a moment. Back in Aldbourne, England, after Normandy, Clancy was officially transferred to Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th PIR in August 1944, joining the company that had already built its legend at Brécourt Manor and Carentan, the company whose men the regiment spoke of with particular respect. He returned to the continent in September 1944 for Operation Market Garden, jumping into the Netherlands with Easy Company in the great Allied airborne gamble to end the war before Christmas. He fought through Holland, through the island between the rivers, through the defensive grinding of Market Garden afterward. And then December 1944. The call came in the middle of the night; the Germans had broken through in the Ardennes, and the 101st Airborne was immediately needed in Bastogne. Clancy Lyall rode in open trucks through the Belgian winter without adequate clothing, without adequate ammunition, without enough food, into a town already surrounded by German armor and infantry. He dug his foxhole in the woods of the Bois Jacques, in ground that was frozen solid, and held the line. He was there through the artillery barrages and the probing attacks and the gray, endless Belgian winter. He was there when Foy was assaulted on January 13, 1945, when Norman Dike faltered, and Ronald Speirs ran alone into the German-occupied town, and Easy Company pushed through regardless. Clancy Lyall was there for all of it 🙏🇺🇸🙏show more

While working on a new video with solutions to... the previous one, I found ChatGPT's new UI struggles even more with concurrent updates: entries lose state and stick around for too long (see video). If this was a LiveView app, we would be getting so much flak.😅 --- I believe part of the problem here is having separate mutate and fetch requests on every deletion. The first fetch is cancelled when the second one comes up, causing items to stick around for longer. Many said yesterday that you could do the mutation and fetch as a single request, but that leads to other problems, such zombie entries. For example, imagine you delete link1 and link2 within a brief period of time. There is no guarantee the deletion order in the database will match the order the client receives the response, so you may end up with this: 1. (client) request to delete link1 sent 2. (client) request to delete link2 sent 3. (server) deletes link1 and loads a new list (includes link2) 4. (server) deletes link2 and loads a new list (no link1 or link2) 5. (client) receives link2 response 6. (client) receives link1 response So if you choose to use the latest response (link1), you brought link2 back to life. If you say you will use the response from the last request, events 3-4 can be swapped, and now you bring link1 back to life. Another way to solve this is by basically not allowing concurrent requests at all but that can affect the user experience drastically in other ways. Next week I should publish a video explaining how LiveView tackles this. Stay tuned!show more

Being a crypto bro in my home Australia means... 25% corporate tax for qualifying companies, and up to 47% on the rest when I cash out. Make a million dollars profit after taking all the risk? • Company pays $250k corp tax → $750k left. • Distribute (franked or unfranked) at the top rate and you walk away with roughly $530k net. Let’s say I buy a $250k company car: I can only claim depreciation (business portion), and if I lease it over 12 months without a proper logbook, I get hit with Fringe Benefits Tax. I get fucked in several ways, left right and centre. Meanwhile, I stay in Thailand, paper-move my crypto, and that million is all mine thanks to 0% on crypto capital gains for 5 years via licensed platforms. Then my money comes back tax-free and snaps up fire-sale bargains as a result of the government’s stupidity, at the cost of everyday Australians. The thing is, I’m not an isolated event. Capital will flee Australia, and the government will try to squeeze more blood from the stone.”show more

I wasn’t planning to step into another world that... day. But that’s exactly what happened when I stumbled upon Steampunk Transylvania, and let me tell you, it’s not just a museum, it’s a living, breathing art experience. From the very first step inside, everything changes. The air itself seems different, filled with the hum of creativity and the echoes of another era. This isn’t just a collection of artifacts: it’s a space where history meets imagination, where old objects tell new stories, and where young artists bring mechanical dreams to life. And the people? Oh, they don’t just work there, they pour their souls into every detail. The creators, the guides, the artists behind every piece, they make you feel like you’re stepping into their personal world of wonder. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why art is meant to be felt, not just seen. Every little mechanism, every sculpture, every carefully crafted contraption has a story, and I could’ve spent hours just soaking it all in. If you ever find yourself in Cluj, do yourself a favor: GO. Step through those doors, leave reality behind for a while, and get lost in the magic of this place. #SteampunkMuseumCluj #SteampunkTransylvaniashow more

A friend of mine just recently got his first... gun, a striker fired Glock 19. He is terrified to leave a round chambered. To anyone reading this who has this same fear, I want to alleviate your concerns. I'm going to explain why there is nothing to be afraid of. First and foremost, I fully understand your concern. It's not irrational. And you're not stupid for being nervous about a bullet being aimed at your leg with the striker cocked back under spring tension about an 1/8 of an inch from the primer. I get it. I shared this concern when I was new to carrying. But your fear is due to a lack of understanding of the internal safety features of a modern striker fired handgun. On a properly maintained modern striker fired pistol the striker CANNOT hit the primer on the chambered round without the trigger being pulled. Can't. Not shouldn't. Can't. (If you have any good Sig P320 jokes, this is the proper place to share them) There is a block that the striker will hit and stop if it is released without the trigger being depressed. It works just like a lock and key. There is a channel in the blocker that the striker can pass through if it is in the fire position. It only goes into the fire position if the trigger is pulled which pushes the blocker into the fire position. A spring keeps the blocker firmly in the block position until then. The blocker is a solid piece of steel that won't break. And if your gun is securely in a hard sided Kydex holster nothing can move the trigger unless it is unholstered. Many guns like Glocks have a trigger safety that prevents the trigger from moving due to force of dropping. Your finger has to be on the trigger safety to move it. So the gun cannot fire unless you pull the trigger. And it's easy for you to test this safety feature to see how it works! See the video below. You can try to push the striker forward by moving that piece at the back of the slide forward. That piece is the back of the striker. Push it forward and it will stop. The tip won't come out through the breach. You see it trying to come through but it gets stuck. Now push that little button in. That is the actual blocker. When you push it in you will now be able to move the striker forward through the breach and see how it will strike the primer. You can test this easily every time you disassemble your pistol to verify it is still working. You can break this safety feature by removing the blocker or losing the spring. But if it's there it will work. (You would be the first person in firearms history who has ever lost a spring. Literally the first one. It has never happened before. 😐) But it doesn't come out as part of regular maintenance. You have to disassemble the firing assembly to get it out. That won't happen by accident. And if you do that on purpose you should do this blocker test when you reassemble it to make sure the safety feature is working. My video shows a Glock slide. All Glocks will look like this. Other brands may put the blocker in a different spot or it may be a slightly different shape. But they all (mostly) have the same design. If you test yours as demonstrated and it works like mine does, your gun WILL NOT fire without pulling the trigger. (If you just thought of another P320 joke, this is another good place to toss that out there)show more
