Every time I use Super + T to open a terminal window, it's much smaller than I prefer. It's also centered on screen but I prefer it to be slightly off center to the right a bit.

Is there a way I can make new windows open to my preferences every time?

Platinum Preppy fine point (0.3mm) for scale.

I found these thread-bound kraft paper covered travelers' notebooks in A6 Size with grid lined pages for a good price that had good reviews with pictures from fountain pen users on Amazon. [$9]

And this 5.3" x 8.26" (not quite A5 size but close enough) hard covered notebook with 120 gsm graph lined paper and few niceties like an attched ribbon bookmark, elastic strap, and elastic pen holder also had good reviews from fountain pen users. [$7]

I figured at those prices, even if they aren't the greatest, they'd be a step up from the thin weight randomly acquired notebooks I've been using. With ballpoint and gel pens, I never really considered the paper quality for my notetaking and journaling.

Side note:
Not sure if I'm going to eyedropper convert the Preppy. I might buy another one or two with a different ink color and then convert a few at the same time.

A tech service named Clerk put together a nice breakdown of how Passkeys work on a technical level. I've found many other explanations too focused on technical definitions rather than a conceptional overview or so simplistic they were unhelpful for me. This one feels like a nice balance between not enough information and too much.

The article is broken down into the sections below:

• What are passkeys?
• How does public key crypto work?
• A practical use of public-key cryptography
• How are passkeys more secure than a username and password?
• Clerk supports passkeys [this last section is irrelevant to anyone not interested in the service provided by Clerk]

Clerk provides some sort of user management service; I don't know nor care if it's any good.

I was looking into it after I posted a question earlier, and found this very thorough description of the Platinum Preppy line of products. Much better presentation compared to the Platinum website or the Platinum US distributor website (which has information about a different product line on the preppy page).

#Sens owner Michael Andlauer says #NHL did not advise him of either investigation - botched Dadonov "no-trade" clause or Pinto sports betting incident - before he closed on purchase.

“Maybe they didn’t want to disrupt [it] to make sure the seller got the best price possible."

"Why I inherited this is beyond me," #Sens owner Michael Andlauer says of #NHL punishment forcing team to forfeit first-round draft pick from an incident 591 days ago.

He doesn't understand why it took the league so long to render a decision.

Resigned? Fired? #Sens owner Michael Andlauer says he met with GM Pierre Dorion last night and said the penalty for forfeiture of pick should be "no less" than his job.

"This could have been avoided."

Dorion agreed and they agreed to part ways.

212th pick in the 2023 NHL Draft Zaccharya Wisdom and his older brother, Zayde (a prospect on the Reading Royals [ECHL] of the Philadelphia Flyers farm system), are determined to make something of their careers to pay back their mother for sacrifices she made for them.

The National Capital Commission is willing to wait to get a deal in place to build a new home for the Ottawa Senators at LeBreton Flats.

Tobi Nussbaum, the chief executive officer of the NCC, confirmed after the board of directors meeting Thursday morning on Elgin St. that the Senators have been given an extension on the due-diligence period of the memorandum of understanding (MOU) until the fall.
