- Comment on How is my bedroom being heated? 1 week ago:
Ah ok, I’ve lived in the NW side and not ever seen listings that talk about heated floors. Sounds interesting!

Was this a luxury unit?
- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 4 weeks ago:
Same, this is how I got frustrated by Hades. I no longer have endless time to sink into a game to get good.
- Comment on 'For too long, Apple has operated a walled garden around its products': The EU forces Apple to open its closed system to third parties 5 weeks ago:
Well, they did get them to switch to USB-C, so I’m not holding my breath, but I do hope that this will lead to more interoperability. I’m tired of Apple making Android/non-Apple users feel like second-class citizens.
- Comment on YSK that if you lose your Social Security Card (USA) more than 10 times, the Social Security Administration will have to, by law, refuse to issue anymore replacement cards, for the rest of your life. 5 weeks ago:
You can use plastic sleeve covers, just nothing permanent like laminate. You can’t scan it with laminate.

Envious, that sounds like a great experience. Trial by doing is probably the best way for most people to learn.

That is pretty much how I feel - like I’m putting out the fires every day, but not actually progressing on what I want or plan to do. It’s a tough balancing act that I’m still trying to figure out… time management is a tough skill to learn when it doesn’t come easily or naturally.

I learned that, in Latin America, it is also the Day of Love and Friendship.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X blocks links to Signal, the encrypted messaging service 2 months ago:
Unfortunately, a lot of official government services and representatives are still using it. I saw someone reference a Twitter post about that Canadian plane crash, for instance.

Thanks for bringing up the quadrants. I’ve been aware of them but feel like I haven’t been using them optimally to figure out how to best focus my time and energy. Somehow I didn’t realize important/non-urgent was the primary one to focus on…

I disable notifications for most of my apps anyway, but the neural connections are still there and hard to undo. Breaking them is a long process in my experience… or maybe I reinforce them too much still.

That and the upgradeable storage… as soon as I can figure out how to solve my partition issues.

Got it, thanks for clarifying.

Makes sense, thanks!

I got a secondhand Kobo on eBay for less than $100, almost in new condition (the seller just forgot to include the charging cable, but luckily I had plenty of spare micro-USB cables). It’s a 2018 model, but it has 8 GB of storage, plenty for most people, and a nice 6" 300 PPI screen with warm light and dark mode. It’s more than sufficient.

Is that a Chubbyemu video or a knockoff?

I’d never heard of AdNauseam; does it replace uBlock entirely? Is it possible to run both?
- Comment on Does bong water count as cold brewed tea? 2 months ago:
Well, they’re both made from beans, so in a sense. Chocolate is just with milk instead of water.
- Comment on Feeding Emperor Augustus Caesar - Handmade Roman Cheese 2 months ago:
I love Tasting History. I’m really curious what he did with the pine nuts and how that comes across in the cheese…
This doesn’t seem to be a full episode, but I wish he’d do one!
- Comment on The Last of Us totally blew me away 2 months ago:
I’ve wanted to play since I finished the show’s first season! I’ve heard mixed things about the PC port, so I’m curious to try it.
- Comment on Does bong water count as cold brewed tea? 2 months ago:
Chocolate is also made from beans but is not coffee.

One of the main motivating factors for me to get a Lenovo.

To be fair, bike lane coverage has been steadily improving. I’m cautiously optimistic…
- Comment on If you are a young person you have no idea how bad everyone and everything smelled until at least the 1990s. 3 months ago:
It’s been noticably bad after legalization. I don’t care if you enjoy weed, but you gotta admit there is a reason people compare its smell to skunks.

Crazy that these places still exist, but I guess not that surprising.

That poor cat went through so much.

It’s decidedly worse for mental health. Despite living in the safest times in living memory, we are biased to think our cities are dangerous and economies are failing because of doomscrolling and the dominance of online news.

Well, now the streets just smell like weed instead.
