If you want to keep a family together, the relationship must come first. Or, order it however you want, the relationship must be attended to with the hard work which it requires. Imagine raising children in a relationship in which there&#x2

The trouble with a study like this is that there are loads of in the trench details which don't go into it. I don't write studies, but I see a generalization which buries a lot of important details. This is a complex subject. If y

By leaking, I mean how much of other content I see when I'm using the app for some purpose where that content isn't important. It has been a while since I used Roam, so maybe these points have significantly improved. But the first

This depends on which tool you're using. I use Obsidian, which has options for creating indexes without polluting the graph view. My indexes are produced from queries which don't create actual links which are picked up by the grap

This seems like an idealized version of these stories. Healthcare is cheaper. Part of the story is that you get what you pay for and people really don't want to be in these hospitals. Another part of the story is that a lot of retirees

I hate titles, hate naming files, hate moving files around in folders. Sure, much of these are abstract things which could end up with you doing the same stuff but a different way. But I find that changing a path in front-matter is less pai

I love Roam, it would be on a short list of things to take with me to the after life. It's just that at the end of the day, all I really wanted was something to manage MD files and run queries on the key-value data in the front-matter.

These articles are as bad as the notes people they are bagging on. The trouble is that people try to fit the kitchen sink into the note app and that doesn't work. As a programmer, I have specific workflows for each note that I take. Ex

People who talk about their note-taking systems often have a laundry list of things the system does for them, like todo lists, meeting notes, reading notes, note BBQ, note fried rice, buttered notes... The trouble is, they are trying to jam

For anyone unaware of Samuel L Jackson as bringing a character to the character in his movies, see the (NSFW) video below. There are a lot of actors who do similar, but Jackson is maybe the best and most versatile among them. Not sure he is

Okay, and the sensory deprivation helps you sleep? I suppose that's generally what we're headed for. Turn off the lights. Set the temp to a certain level. The hard ground isn't giving either, but you feel it. ;) I also can&#x

My anecdote is that when I get migraine headaches, I have to lay down and try to sleep. I have to lay on hard ground. I can't stand being on a mattress for some reason. Maybe it's about feeling more control over the position of my

Therapy is a good point, especially if you're in the group where financial position isn't part of a problem. I suspect there's far more people who could benefit from therapy than is currently utilizing it. Edit: Check out my

This is a great answer, and similar to mine. I feel there are a couple of things which happen around 35. - As a child, you feel special. At 35, it's as if you have been out so far from receiving presents from Santa that you sort of cro

This was the right answer for me. There does seem to be people who aren't morning people in any situation. Some people may just have to grow out of not being a morning person. Not everyone has the control over their schedule to do what

Maybe the terms are just confusing to me. In the Philippines, there are no plans. You buy a SIM and it's ready to go. You can get Free Facebook immediately. There is no Free "plan." If you don't buy load, then you aren&#

The lingo makes this sound a bit confusing to me. In the Philippines, you get prepaid promos. Nobody calls them "plans" here. Some of the promos are slim, like you might get 100MB or less of data along with texting. Getting "

I don't know the degree of editing that Spotify does. If they are only removing episodes, that's different from constraining Joe Rogan in his creative direction. Note: I may have been wrong about the reasons for Dave Chapelle leav

Sounds like a massive fun mud slide. You slide in with a bunch of dirt, then you get flung back out into space. But dangerous because you might get stuck in the hole or get caught by the flame thrower. If this were a theme park, it seems li
