You underestimate the number of bad notetakers.

I’m one of them.

This tool might actually make me take better notes.

Maybe.

Start a subreddit.

I don’t think I’m actually joking.

I'm trying to cut meats out of my diet slowly. All seafood was easy as I was never that into it. Pig meat on the other hand... Bacon, Ham, Pork, etc. I knew that it had to go. So I started with that.

Currently I'm an opportunitarian. Chicken is the meat of choice if I can't handle the vegetarian option, otherwise beef. But pig and all seafood is gone from my diet. My hope is that plant-based or cultured meat improves to the point where I don't have these ethical dilemmas anymore. Until then I'll do my best.

I know it's not perfect but it's something. I think more people need to understand that eating and culture are hard to seperate and we need to accomodate that. Making meat a sometimes food is the first step.

Looks like the code got pasted into an editor that wasn't too interested in keeping that character encoding.

I guess I'd like to ask the same question about NFTs.

But I'm guessing it's the social licence NYT are paying for. The owner says it's theirs.

Gee the numbers of times I've had to add "-pinterest -quora". I wish there was just a permanent filter I could add in my Google serach settings.

When it hit around the $30 mark I was thinking that was going to be where it levelled off and I was actually excited for it to become a stable currency.

I was pretty wrong, both about it being a stable and a currency.

As another commenter mentioned, I'm also excited to have been here for it all and stille excited to see where it leads. Ultimately, whether you love it or hate it, Bitcoin has made its mark on history and has kind of become the giant shoulders that the next generation can stand on.

An interesting business model could arise.

Lease camera space on buildings. Capture and process everything you see from your global network of cameras.

Sell reports to anyone with money.

e.g. $1000 for any records of this face in the area in the last week.

Clearly this ends up in a situation where everyone can monitior everyone.

Ahh good old flame wars. I'll never miss them.

That said, in the past it was more generally accepted that forum moderators would rule with an iron fist.

Seems more recently, if you're being a dick and you are moderated it's interpreted as censorship and an attack on free speech.

Related. One thing I have noticed in the last decade is people no longer pulling people up on their spelling and grammar as much as they used to in the early days of debating the internet. I like this.

I'd watch a Bob Ross of welding if that channel existed.
