@dexter No, I decided long ago that if my parents were able to grow up and thrive without constant access to everything I could too. I am now comfortable without access to code, lists, notes, etc which live at home when I am away from there. It's a lifestyle choice which I understand only works for a small subset of people. I am lucky to be a part of that subset.
@dexter emacs and nvi (not vim) both seem to do everything I every wanted... Sometimes the secret to happiness lies in setting appropriate expectations.
@hypostase I don't know why, but I had to put it on my calendar. The shot of "feel-good" every year makes it that much easier to not feel temptation when I'm around those who still partake. I'm happy that you too have disposed of that vice.

@dexter You looked away for a moment, it's up to $1070.28 now :-(.
Today marks 20 years since I ran out of cigarettes. It's not always been easy. I started smoking at age 12 and went on 'til age 43 at about a pack per day. If we assume about $6/pack, over the last 20 years I've saved almost $44,000.
@dch In mylar balloons over El Paso Texas until they got shot down because some idiot in the pentagon thought they were drones from the drug lords.
@dch They could fix this by adding AI to the process...
It feels to me that the right course of action is to redirect support from Israel to Ukraine and let Israel work things out with its neighbors on its own merits.

I had something pretty similar out of my weather station in the Oregon coastal range. I don't often see the temperature dump quite that fast.
