I'll second cc101 (writing is thinking) and MountainMan1312 (accessible, searchable notes help a lot). Also... you know... the usual... proper nutrition, proper sleep, moving your body.

Agree. Think I peaked watching whole video on car indicators, filled with nostalgia and finally solving childhood mystery. There is something in his videos which teleports me to old times plus vids are packed with knowledge. Nerdiness is th

I really like the idea and the site looks nice. It's good the list is short as of now, as quality of suggestions is crucial. I'll be absolutely looking at it, sometimes I get really too narrow in focus.

You better search for life instead of hunting for life, please. Hunt (as a noun) sounds especially appalling. I suspect that you _really wanna find life_, hence hunting, but still...

> This is the first major data loss story I've heard related to drive in, what, a decade? 5 years? Not bad, but still... no copy, no data.

Yes, you just can't have data in one copy if you care about it. It's a cliche at this point: There are two kinds of people... those who do backups and those who will. I upgraded involuntarily long time ago.

Nabokov ends one of the most captivating fragments of Pale Fire with a sentence "I trust the reader has enjoyed this note." He totally got me. It is not the book I would recommend most often, it just came to my mind. What I would

Yeah, I was referring to this past move of EU as being particularly effective one to combat plastic pollution. EDIT: But you are right, banning single-use plastic bags is a first step. Let's keep walking.
