As a developer my most important tools are a computer with working keyboard, monitor, and mouse. Everything else is secondary. A notebook and pen falls somewhere below cpu, gpu, hard drive, ram, reliable internet, etc.

I agree with parent comment of notebook and pen being pure romanticism. I mean, heck, I'd rate Obsidian or some other back linking note software as more important than a notebook and pen. A sticky note and pen would be even more important than a notebook and pen.

The app is free. In fact you don't miss much by not paying the subscription.

Pro features are $10/month, but are actually also "free" via an unlimited time trial.

The $10/month price tag is to support the developer if you're so inclined, which includes some nice-to-have features.

This is basically the whole premise around the "creator economy". Learn what you're interested in, write it down, preferably in public, repackage/repurpose into something of value for the person one step behind you in knowledge/skill.

It’s definitely a case of beauty in the eye of the beholder. I looked at this list and wished more architecture was similar.

Yes

It’s not a matter of food poisoning, it’s a matter of do you really want to ingest contaminants. Regular consumption of contaminants such as pesticides, herbicides, and antibiotics (all present in the water supply especially at lower elevations) has an impact on long term health.

Beyond and Impossible are full of chemicals. Definitely not a healthy alternative to traditional veggie patties. I wouldn't even call them food really. It doesn't even really qualify as a veggie burger (it's pea protein isolate, which doesn't really count). Beyond that (no pun intended) it's got a lot of seed oil, which is awful for you.

BLM caused billions worth of damage over the course of the summer of love.

But they were mostly peaceful mountains. Right?

Portland, amongst others.

"You can’t discuss this problem without acknowledging the role of bad actors in the system."

On both sides. The government, pharmaceutical companies, and big tech were definitely bad actors. We do not live in a nanny state nor do we want to. What happened during the pandemic was disgraceful. Discussion was effectively shut down and science as well as treatment was negatively affected by the actions of censorship.

This.

Interesting that we talk about fat shaming and body pride. Why? It's not healthy, and it never will be.

Obesity is someone's fault. If it weren't, then we would always have had the same obesity rate. The fact that the obesity rate is rising, or has risen in the last 40 years is evidence that something somewhere happened and someone is at fault.

We can likely blame lobbyists for the tragedy that we'll never figure it out because of special interest money in keeping the "someone/something" in the dark.
