I watched the end of #NASA's recent DART mission on live stream. #GS3 watched also. He had plenty of "What's that?" questions about various objects in the camera view, including the boulders in the last few seconds' view.
I hope things like this feed his curiosity. -

Toward the end of the day, #GS4 started feeling better. He started getting up and running around, getting into things he shouldn’t, and being less clingy. He’s still not fully back to his normal self, but it is great to see how much he’s recovered. He did not eat like himself yet, but I expect it within a day or two. -

Ok, that’s what I thought, thank you for the explanations. When I wear the new glasses, anything beyond a couple of feet is doubled until my eyes adjust which takes more time than with my current glasses, and then it still is almost imperceptibly blurry, although the comparison between the glasses makes it clear, especially looking at bright objects which light “spills” around them like an aura. -

#GS3’s fever has ended, so he thinks he is well again. But he is still very whiny 😫, despite him thinking that he’s already well. -

Instagram's concept of strict Python modules and strict functions allows modules to be reloaded in a safe way and reduces startup times in a complex codebase, in addition to just the enhanced ability to understand the code because you know there is nothing fishy going on when you're simply importing a module.

Now that he's a citizen of #Russia, I guess he can place his national loyalties there. In other words, he has little reason to hold back on revelations of what he observed inside the US government's security apparatus, even things that were not illegal / unconstitutional ... but still classified or at least non-public.
Personally, I think that his revelations of unconstitutional data collection, routinely spying on ordinary citizens without even a "reasonable suspicion" with which to seek a warrant, should have been met with an offer of pardon ... which should have been conditional upon him testifying before Congress about what he observed. There was no reason for him to be forced to remain in Russia all these years, subject to whatever Putin's security apparatus demands.
"Well what if he was really a Russian spy?"
It would not have been necessary to give him the same job he had before and access to the same types of information that he had before. -

@geniusmusing Oh, yeah. One of my brothers had a friend who was always around and lived on a mix of Journey and Air Supply. I still cannot tolerate AS's music. -

Second hole 🕳 is finished. Plants 🪴 are in the ground. Boys are checked for ticks, fed, and asleep.
3.5 years old #GS3 hardly leaves my side. His favorite words seem to be “Grandpa, look what I found”. He’s probably introduced me to every flower 🌸 and insect 🐞 in the yard.
1.5 years old #GS4 wants to spend a few minutes at a time, then go get into something, then come back. That kid has a “light up the world “ smile 😃 and he loves to show it. But he’s also adamant that he should be allowed to throw rocks toward the window, touch the stove / oven, sprinkle the dog 🐕 with milk, go with Daddy to work. He makes sure his displeasure is heard. -

Today, we dug a hole next to the fence, where my daughter-in-law is going to plant one of the potted plants she bought. The hole is not finished, and a companion hole will follow. -

The first hole is finished. I removed a fist sized rock. The second hole is almost finished. I removed a similar sized rock from that hole 🕳 . We will return to it after naptime. -

Update:
Freight Rail Workers Reach Tentative Deal
https://gizmodo.com/rail-workers-union-strike-biden-amtrak-1849539113
>Apparently, all it took for unionized freight rail workers to finally force their companies to let them see a doctor without being penalized was to threaten to upend the entire supply chain. In tense, near-day long negotiations, White House and rail company trade groups both announced there is a deal, and all they’re waiting on is ratification from union membership.
>
>Though they were granted pay raises in this latest round of contract negotiations, unionized freight rail workers were particularly hung up on rail company’s policies that penalized them for taking medical appointments. Workers had also called for more standardized working hours after years of being forced to be on-call practically all day, any day of the week. Federal law under the Railway Labor Act only guaranteed 10 hours off every 24 hours.

There are lots of fruits 🍎 and vegetables 🥗 that #GS3 will eat without complaining. He was mostly vegetarian until he discovered chicken.
He seems to like the cabbage 🥬 family, but he detests melon 🍈 fruits.
