  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.

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The internet is bad ux, everybody. There's too many choices.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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?

  Well, they’re both made from beans, so in a sense. Chocolate is just with milk instead of water.

  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!

  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?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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…

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you are a young person you have no idea how bad everyone and everything smelled until at least the 1990s.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  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.
