Ok I literally saw this tonight, but I think it’s going to be one of my all time favorites:

Hundreds of Beavers

I’ve been working on my Spanish with practice from some of my coworkers and patients. So far Duolingo’s “flash cards” have actually been pretty helpful, but I grant that some of the actual "instruction"isn’t there. I went from really rudimentary Spanish to being able to conduct a patient evaluation in Spanish as long as it’s straight forward.

Everyone shits on Duo but I’ve found it to be a really helpful practice tool myself.

Terry Pratchett. Brandon Sanderson has a nice essay about Pratchett.

I don’t know how people manage to use Libby. Always takes months to get the book I’m wanting to read, which is fine if it’s a one-off, but I really like reading long series

I’ve started using “hello chums”

I never used to be a tool guy, but then I finally was able to buy a house. The joy I get doing yardwork and fixing things, especially when I have the right tool for the job, gives me so much joy. I genuinely love going to hardware stores now.

Hey! I did this same thing! Also cost about 6 or 700

There are some that do this, but having recently gone through home buying, a lot of them cover up problems with cheap finishes or don’t fix things correctly, then charge a premium

When I was little I struggled with this. I would weave a tissue between my toes and it helped

Or it’s an older toilet

I just wish I could send videos that aren’t compressed to shit. Who cares about colors

My mom died a week and a half ago. So no.

I put myself in the elder millennial window too. I think the divider for elder and not is that I remember when we got a computer and Internet. Younger millennials don’t remember not having it, or at least not having Internet

But it’s all just Hokum trying to pigeonhole everyone into neat uniform experiences

The Andromeda ship was such a cool design, one of my favorites.

And I remember really enjoying season 1 of Andromeda in college, while also recognizing that it wasn’t really a “good” show

I watch everything in English with subs for this reason. But I can’t usually do that for anime because the subs don’t always match the dub and that’s distracting

We use browser office 365 at work. It’s on a Windows computer. I gotta say it sucks ass if your stuff doesn’t all live in an associated onedrive. We have a shared drive that common files live in and accessing them from the browser office is a mess.

I can’t agree with you more on this. I have used them for years, most recently got one with a scalloped side that fits in your hand so nicely. My son is a cub scout and just got one too, his first pocketknife.

Wildly disagree about Oreos

I used OneNote all thru grad school and while I had complaints with the app, the ability to have notes on my surface that updated on my phone and desktop, accessible anywhere, without tons of notebooks and paper, and the PowerPoints included in the one note pages with my diagrams and notes alongside… It was great! I don’t need a notes app anymore but man what a useful concept. I hope they get better with time
