This is just pathetic. He’s acting like a jealous high school boyfriend.

Thank you for sending me down the rabbit hole of automating my RDWC system :-) Seriously, it's the blending of many hobbies into one! I've been eyeing the Atlas Scientific Whitebox T1 now as it seems to allow me to start small, learn, and add new sensors/probes.

I really wanted to like this website but I find the lack of password and magic links a very annoying way to authenticate to the website. I also imagine the magic link would confuse many users who are used to a traditional login form with email address and password.

I admit, this site caught my attention but I refuse to have to check my email, for a link that doesn't resolve behind my firewall, just to authenticate to the site (every single time).

Honestly, Goodreads without an account is more useful than this site with an account. At least I can search and read reviews on Goodreads without an account.

You too found The Flashbulb via what.cd? Soundtrack to a Vacant Life is an incredible album.

My first two guesses are usually AUDIO and RENTS if it helps ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is this why I can't get last place? :-)

I wanted to see how many "levels" there were so I started to click the button repeatedly just to end the game. Then I noticed the "you did better than X%" message. I can't get first but can I get last!?

Even using keyboard events, it still says I'm better than 1%. Either someone is still...more wrong/faster...or 1% is the lowest it can go? Haha!

As in Firefox is not rendering content with Gecko, it's rendering via WebKit?

Are you sure...? I've been using Firefox as my default browser on iOS for awhile now.

My understanding is it's not going to prevent transmission but it can help in reducing transmissions, thus reducing infections.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I'm in the exact same boat. I use more than one editor but I always install the vim plugin. It provides an instant speed boost to using that editor efficiently and quickly. We don't switch editors _that_ often, but at the same time, remember trying to remember keyboard shortcuts for TextMate, then Sublime Text, the VSCode, then IDEA, etc.? With the vim plugins, editing text is now the same across all editors.

> I don't know of a quick vim command that lets me quickly select, delete, replace, yank, or change the full contents of a scope in a whitespace-sensitive language.

I'm sure there are better ways, but you could v9G$ to select from the current line to the end of line nine. Or v9j select the next nine lines, v9k previous nine, etc.

This probably sounds odd, but I'd be happy with the subscription's yearly price, or even a little more. It's not the price that bothers me, it's the subscription aspect to me.

The application is sold as, "with data longevity in mind", but the subscription model makes me feel like that is only the case while I pay for a subscription. From what I read in some of your other comments, that may not be the case, but it's still a worry. What if I can't access my notes/data in the future unless I have an active subscription?

Like others have mentioned, I'm not a fan of the subscription model either. After watching the demo video and reading through your site, I instantly went to download the app in the app store, only to be disappointed in, yet another subscription.

I'd gladly pay for the software and repurchase at major releases (if I wanted to upgrade)! I'm not looking for more subscriptions though. Give it a thought. I'd like to be one of the paying customers :-)

I've been interested in the idea of a treadmill to walk while at my standing desk as well. Can you share details on the one you have?

I've kept my phone on silent via the physical toggle switch for the last four years and it's been a real game changer. I'm still notified via vibrations but receive zero audible notifications. It seems very odd at first but I'd have it no other way at this point.
