I use plaintextaccounting too. So in your example Dungeon:MateA is a balance for the other side of the transaction - it does exist, there's a record of it. The money/tokens/matebucks have not "disappeared", but the

Really appreciate my hot water bottle in the winter, pop it in the bed 5-10 minutes before climbing in and it's wonderful. Oddly I also like a really cold bedroom, I have the window open a bit mostly all year round.

Enjoy doing these when I can, although probably takes me 6 months to complete the puzzles, doing them here and there. Not really into the competitive aspect, although I guess it doesn't matter that much anyway. There was on AoC a few y

On traditional landline phones that older folk tend to use (although I guess that's dwindling every year) a common tactic for scammers is to ask the victim to call the number on the back of the card. However the scammers don't han

It's an interesting unintended consequence sort of thing, especially as the OP set this list up before even getting an Alexa device. I'd feel the same sense of annoyance if something like that happened to me.

RIP I had a hand-me-down spectrum although I don't remember learning to program on it, just the games. Was probably too young at the time. So I guess I can credit it for starting my life long love for computer games :)

For beancount there is an Emacs mode which supports auto-complete, and visual tricks like collapsing to make the file easier to navigate. Granted using Emacs isn't exactly for everyone, but there are a bunch of tools out there to make
