Tasks might seem a distraction to you but they have simplified my life a lot. They are central to my workflow and I'm glad they introduced them.

On my 4 year old Windows 10 ThinkPad laptop it now works very fast. I have 20k notes. At the beginning it was very clunky, now it works very well. At least this is my experience.

That is strange. There is no contradiction between Catholicism and science. Genesis is not a scientific book. It is not a scientific treatise on cosmology, at all.

Astrology is not a religion. It seems to me that it is just plain wrong science.

Science deals with quantities in the material world, religion deals with meaning.

There are Catholic Zen Masters [1], so, somehow, it is possible to be Catholic and Buddhist. As a Catholic who dabbled in Zen when I was lost, I don't really understand how this can be combined, but this exists. My current view is that

Evernote is indeed a great piece of software. They have gone through very difficult times, but now the Desktop app is working very well (not the Android client, which is very slow, but improving), it is fast and despite it lacks some old fe

I also almost have 20k Evernote notes. I was considering obsidian, but the devs say that obsidian is designed for a maximum of 20k notes. So, I'm already on the upper bound, as you are. Probably, obsidian would be slow if I import all

It surprises me how harsh is the US towards people. We all make mistakes, and we deserve to build a new life after we have paid the price of our errors. If you have gone to prison, then you deserve to start again. But there is no mercy in t

My country issues ID cards. Police has biometric data on me (fingers and photo). I guess in my country I can easily obtain a new ID card and from here, prove my identity to the different providers. I guess it is very hard still, but better

Same here. We have had everything since December. In December, we had Covid-19, in April what seemed like the flu, and we also had different types of cold and stomach viruses. I have been almost permanently ill and tired since December. Now

How would you manage tasks with this? Currently, I'm using Evernote and its new Tasks feature is very good, even though it could be better. I cannot move from Evernote to Obsidian if I don't solve the issue of managing tasks effec

Yes and no. A scientist should generate knowledge and insight, the scientist must discover things. The only way to prove that to a bureaucracy is through papers. It should not be the end product, but it has become the end product. In any ca

All these meetings, reports, plans and apparently useless things, provide insurance to the different stakeholders of the project. Projects fail in many ways, and you need everyone to feel safe. That's why you need to document things a

But you must act on this love, and there are many ways, through our daily actions, but also through prayer. I think it should come quite natural to any devout Christian. My whole point is that I find it interesting, and surprising, how west

A Christian must try to imitate Christ (e.g. read the Thomas Kempis book), Christ is God, God loves everyone. We Christians must love every person on Earth, as Christ loves them, every single one of them, including the worst assassin. What&

One can argue that the EU itself is rather undemocratic, as the Parliament does not hold much power, and there isn't a clear separation between executive and legislative, as the Commission and the Council of Ministers both participate
