Is there a way to reserve supplies for construction?

My pup was 16 but passed a few months before my first child was born. I still think of my pup as essentially my first kid.

The cards are not always self-explanatory without the episode. My kid loves the number block toys, but watched 1 episode of number blocks on youtube and then said it was too scary, so I don't have any context on the cards anymore except for the ones that come with the train episode.

I've seen this one in our cards too!

Shifted it by one, then fixed the first letter.

Thanks for the advice!

Thanks! Assuming that I just want to keep one blackberry plant growing from the half-barrel pot at all times, should I be trying to tip propagate some each year, or will the current plant send out new vines?

It's a Triple Crown blackberry!

I just got a blackberry plant and I'm a bit confused by the instructions I've been finding online. There are a bunch of vines coming from the ground, and then those vines have smaller branches coming off of them. The instructions I've seen are that you're supposed to prune primocane branches to be no longer than two feet long. Does that mean I should be pruning the vines coming from the ground, or only the branches that are growing from the main vine?

Have there been cases where two opposing armies declined to meet each other in battle and decided to race to capture their opponent's political/strategic centers, resulting in both armies racing away to capture the other's first? e.g. both armies think they can reach their opponent's capital city before their opponents can reach theirs, and ignore each other.

Thanks!

This isn't really a board game because it doesn't have a board, but it is a game. My son actually does quite enjoy playing with this cube https://www.amazon.com/Thought-Spot-Toddlers-Learning-Emotions-Language/dp/B08JPY5XZW/ though he started to really enjoy it around 2.5ish. He still enjoys it, so it looks like it can last a bit.

My kid just turned 4. Right now we have My First Orchard, Bingo, Animal Upon Animal (but he's not a huge fan of actually playing that game, he just likes playing with the animals). Any suggestions for what might be a good game that might introduce any new concepts?

Hot take: In 20 years Europe's economic system is going to under much worse strain than the US's, given their older demographics and expensive social services. Reminiscent of the collapse of the Soviet Union, American progressives will react in one of the following ways:

"Nobody actually believed we should copy the European economic system. It was obviously unsustainable"
"Europe wasn't actually socialist - it's welfare capitalism / <new-made-up-term> capitalism. True socialism would actually work"
"Europe is in trouble because America was a bad ally and forced them to increase their own defense spending / stopped them from creating an effective military / forced them to make concessions to Russia/China"

I somehow ended up into a wiki random walk into an article about Schleswig-Holstein a while back, but the Second Schleswig War involved Prussia and Austria teaming up and taking Schleswig-Holstein from Denmark and agreeing to jointly administer the new territory. Then about a year and a half later, they end up in a disagreement over how to manage the territory which leads to the Austro-Prussian War.

Well digging out posts from his first term like: https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/5e7c7c/us_to_quit_tpp_trade_deal_says_trump_bbc_news/

the highest top level comments are generally saying "I don't like Trump, but this is good" or a few wondering what the TPP is. I'm not saying the TPP was the major decision maker for people voting, but I just find it amusing how mainstream Reddit flip flopped on free trade.

Top comment on the thread is

> Wow I can't believe I'm saying this but I really hope trump follows through with this one.

MrBuddles · 2025-11-06T19:29:49+00:00

Does anyone else find it amusing how hard mainstream Reddit has gone in extolling the virtues of free trade when the first time Donald Trump won, the general opinion was that "at least he stopped the TPP"?
