Jetstreams come in a lot of forms, including 0.5mm and 0.38mm I believe.

that caught me too, and now I can't stop trying to imagine what it might be.

I've had a book in my life for a little while now, called "I Am That". It's about exploring the space before the "ideology" takes hold. Really enjoying spending time in that space during these times.

Find a way to send them that feedback. I've been doing that more lately and I'm noticing features/bugs I request/report get added pretty quickly. Obviously YMMV but from my experience it seems like they listen to feedback like this.

At what point do we start talking about the effects current politics are having on these things? Or just avoid that too and pretend it's not happening?

Read the book once, will definitely check out the audiobook. I got in the habit of reading it before bed too, sounds perfect.

I've probably had Zen Browser uninstalled from my system for about a year, and I just checked my AppData folder, found a 'zen' folder which eventually became 'zen-browser', and 2300+ files still sitting in my AppData/Roaming folder. maybe it's leftover stuff from extensions I installed but.... I probably just forgot to check the "delete all user profiles and settings" box, but who knows.

Going to do a pretty thorough tidying-up of my PC after this. thanks for posting, OP.

Does it matter who knew, at this point? Industry boomed because of the output and also because the worst consequences would come long after. As a society we usually do it the messy way first and refine it later, right? Maybe they thought it was fine, we'll fix it later.

Maybe there was an odd company here and there that "did the right thing" but we're talking about Industries here. They knew they were shitting into the atmosphere and decided it was worth it.

Didn't mean to sound snarky with my comment, sorry about that! I would seriously recommend archival-quality in that case too, Micron pens are pretty affordable! You could of course go wild and create a wonderful setup that's a bit pricier, but it's very easy to do with simple pens too. Micron and legal pad should get the job done for personal notes, and beyond that probably look at scanning/digital options.

no one asked, but frixion pens on a legal pad and taking photos with a quick iOS shortcut makes it very simple to win all around.

so wonderful to share this country with folks like you! please consider shifting your scope outside yourself and your own personal protection, and consider the greater good at least occasionally, please.

It would not surprise me in the slightest if Republicans start buying swasticars as a statement. Wouldn't surprise me one bit.

> Exploit and ruin every last bit of credibility for their own personan financial enrichment.

It really is absolutely astounding. They're going all in and so far it's messy, but maybe working for them? It's going to be a different world on the other side of this, and I'm not sure if their plans will work out exactly as they think, but I don't think I'm as psychotic as they are so who knows what they'll come up with.

The only way they will be punished is if someone stops them, until then they're making just about all the rules here.

Yes, would not recommend the pens as a substitute for ones with archival-quality ink :)

I've just started using a legal pad and erasable pen (frixion pens are amazing) to help get my life processes better organized, and it's a great place to start and figure out what you want from these kinds of tools. For me this was better than trying the tools to see what works, I even tried Excalidraw but it's still in that category of "go back and learn how to use if I have time".

I'm still heavily leaning on the legal pad, but I've got a project in Claude to streamline this whole thing over time. It's recommended Microsoft OneNote which I completely wrote off because it seems like there must be a price for such a robust tool being free, but it is really amazing these days. Seems very smooth for mixing digital media with handwritten notes and diagrams, I'm really impressed with it. It's probably going to be where I move to from my legal pad system, since it's so similar but offers features that will help organize the notes and make them searchable, etc.

I always look at the new tools and services for these kind of things when they pop up so please share other personal systems as well!

(I'm still not sure what the price is for OneNote, but if anyone knows and it's bad, please say something)
