Any party will sweep the political landscape, Just because they will point out some of these truths. Its never been easier to win.
The GOPs success at crippling its former advantage is really impressive.

Like the look, menu organization, optionality. Many great features.
My only niggle is to improve the logs / node sync user feedback.
Recently I spent some time (including a couple full uninstalls / restores) trying to figure out why my nodes weren't fully synced in the final stages. When all peers, express graphs, blockchain, block heights, etc. Ui's all were showing good/true. I tested a bunch of the troubleshooting actions, settings and scanned many logs and still couldn't figure out what was blocking the very final step for full sync. It was probably an uncommon glitch.
Set app aside for a week. Now Works fine, after doing nothing but an update. Ultimately it seems the last app update fixed a small but required sync step that wasn't triggering a ui message (that I could find).
Otherwise app ux is moving in nice direction. Bravo.

Also I always prune fruiting branches leaving "spurs" and not all the way back to the main branch. That way 3 to 4 buds remain to push another another branch to refill the empty space.

2026-04-03 01:06:56 UTC

- reply

Adding to David II's practical assessment, I'll provide some nerdy background. That compared to apples, Shade is really the enemy to peach trees. They really, really need sunlight penetration into the center of the tree.
Once an older branch has been shaded out, it won't produce enough buds to regenerate more younger productive wood. The fruiting zone will keep getting pushed closer to edges looking better sunlight. Leaving barren holes in the center of the tree. That won't regenerate even if opened up to light again.
Its hard to explain, but ideally the only long-term wood are the truck and 3 to 4 main scaffolds spread apart. (This is the open vase shape you hear about) Then its managing, pruning, and renewing younger fruiting 1-3/year old branches that produce buds off the main branches.
I hope i dont cause you to over think it. You'll still get plenty of personal fruit without the ideal management. (I dont always ideally manage mine) These are just some of horticultural concepts on sunlight that I am betting you'll find interesting.
But In short, which David II said, Cut out the center and the drooping (which will get shaded out anyway) and you are good to go.

2026-04-02 22:22:20 UTC

- reply

The best time to thin is after fruit set when the little peaches are about the girth of your pinkie and very fuzzy. There is a 10ish day period when they just fall off by rubbing your hand up and down the branch. Before or after that you'll have to pull them one by one.
In general a single peach every 6-8 in apart on the branch is a good load. They want to set way more than they can sustain.

Savory explained this all so well. He was able to speak effectively to broad audiences.
Every time I think about savory. I recall how sad that his first organization HRM switched focus from grazing to more social issues. Did he get subverted by his NGO board in the early 2000s?
The core mission got diluted by wokish tangetiles (chasing donors?) and probably set back broader US grazing adoption by at least 20 years
He left his own organization to start over again. I never heard the official story why.

I'm super ashamed that it took a re-reading of Dune to "get this."
(and this probably wasn't already clear because of Enlightment brainwashing) .
But we are just mere humans riding the a wave of earthly events. Some things were set in motion in the past that now can not be influenced by normal people (e.g., "voters"). All we can control is how to properly orient ourselves to the wave that is coming.
It really doesn't matter if we support or reject "x" thing. "x" things are now happening no matter if we like it or not. "x" is a reality, so how do we orient ourselves to "x" is happening.
This isn't black pilling or defeatism. It's bringing ourselves into alignment with reality. Part of which is devoting energy to influencing what we can actually impact. Selves, family, friends. And part of that orientation is the prayer and church.....which is the only possible thing that we can influence the tide. But how that works..... is beyond me.
Contrasted with serving political idols, which is giving energy to the wrong team. And wokism, which desires to make us morally culpable/guilty for things that you and I have no influence over.
