- Comment on Most people's earliest memories are at around 3 or 4 years of age, which correlates with the age kids start asking "why" for everything. Kids start asking why when they become self-aware. 1 week ago:
2.5 years and I recall going to the hospital to see my sister in maternity ward nursery display and asking which one was her. My dad pointed her out among the babies there but I recall not being sure of which one he meant. I also recall, from the following weeks, my parents treatment of her umbilical cord snippet with rubbing alcohol and asking what they were doing.
After that, my next coherent memory is around the toilet training stage but I don’t know the exact age. I recall feeling the urge to go poop then trying to get to the bathroom but not making it. So I pooped on the floor, then picked it up with a diaper, disposed of it, and with pride told my mom what I had just accomplished.

- Comment on Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition reveal trailer 5 weeks ago:
NWN is one of (if not my all time) favourite game, both offline and online.
I played through the NWN2 SP campaign and thoroughly enjoyed it ( though I started and never finished the final expansion.)
The biggest disappointment for me was the changes to multiplayer that made it a lot harder to drop into servers. If I am recalling correctly, you had to pre-download (outside of the game) the meshes for landscapes before joining a server. It was a huge barrier to entry, and even dedicated communities that tried to move from 1 over to 2, faltered.

What I’d like to know here is if this setup is continuously drawing maximum power or if the power usage only goes up when a device is within the magnetic grid.

- Comment on Finance / Investment self-hosted apps? 2 months ago:
From what I recall, it is buried behind multiple clicks - click in to the transaction, click in to another section, perform the operations you want, go back to the transaction list, etc
- Comment on Finance / Investment self-hosted apps? 2 months ago:
I tried out a whole bunch of these recently, and think I will be landing on Actual Budget due to the ease of use.
Maybe is the slickest looking, but it is on of the most cumbersome in terms of tagging/categorizing transactions.
