Yeah, came here to post something similar. I used to hang around in real estate circles, and two businesses come up often: Self storage and car wash. These are two things people just can't get enough of. (Car wash usage doesn't go

I go a step further. When I press Alt + j, it sends all the directories in zoxide to fzf (in order of frequency), and I quickly choose the directory and jump to it. I rarely type "cd" anymore. A huge quality of life improvement!

Wow, but I wonder if there's more to it. I've not been able to access web.archive.org from my work computer - I always get the 429 error. But I then pull out my phone and can access it just fine. All along I was assuming my compan
