@neil I can definitely navigate my city with a map and something for orientation (which is mostly for safety, I usually stay oriented in the city). This is due to extensive bicycling around the city (mostly with my recreational bike club).
I once vaguely learned proper over-land map and compass navigation for wilderness, but it's been an extremely long time since I practiced it. I might be able to successfully navigate an area without signed marker points, but ideally I'd get a refresher first.
Today in hot buttons: I have Opinionsβ’ on exercise cyclists who pass other cyclists (and walkers and etc) at what I consider high speed on Toronto's park trails.
If you are doing 30 km/h+ on park trails around other people, you are doing it wrong. If you are demanding that other people make way for your 30 km/h+ impatience, you are doing it extra wrong. Find some empty weekend industrial streets out in Mississauga, there's plenty (I know where some are).
@oantolin Want to toggle or set a Lisp variable? C-h v <variable name> C-. and pick the appropriate option. Want to debug (or un-debug) a Lisp function? C-h f <etc> C-. pick the option.
Sure, I could type the name in a buffer somewhere and C-. it, but C-h v and C-h f are Right There and they have completion and etc.
Today's bike club group rideΒΉ went from Victoria Park & Danforth up to the hydro corridor, down the Birkdale Trail, then over to Highland Creek through side streets, down it to the lake (which was as great as ever), and back along a wiggly route that sort of avoids hills. The ride started out overcast and cool enough to make me second-guess my choice of clothes, but fortunately the sun came out eventually and everything warmed up to pleasant levels by the end.

If styled text is *that* important to you, consider a social media platform that supports formatting markup. (E. g. ActivityPub implementations like GoToSocial support Markdown; markup in federated blog posts via WordPress, Ghost, etc., should render correctly in clients; etc.)

I wonder if someone has written a guide to Embark in GNU Emacs that is 'N things you can do with Embark without additional packages'. The Embark posts I've seen seem to use it with complicated other packages I don't have (at least for their early examples, after which I tune out).
(I have worked out some sleazy tricks, but it feels like I'm missing so much.)
