A Trumper Karen trespasses onto their kids school to take pictures of a innocuous Gay-Straight alliance flyer and post online. They were banned from the premises but now they’re allowed back because the district caved in. This same lady has caused some books to be banned in the same district.

Like others have stated, I go by how often I use an item. How often I’ve touched it over a few months, do I think about it, etc.

I also look for items that may have a dual purpose. For instance, do I need a meat shredder or will my hand mixer that I use for other tasks work for it? (It does) I also use this logic to prevent acquiring new items which is the other half of this equation. You don’t have to purge what you don’t acquire.

The last thing is being honest with myself. There are some hobbies I used to love doing, but have no desire now and will probably not have time to do anyways. So items related to those get sold/donated. It may seem financially wasteful, but it also provides a test for yourself on whether you actually will use the items. If you end up buying some of those things again, forgive yourself and keep them next time you think about it.

 

Made me chortle because a snow storm is coming, and I thought this was a serious post.

Yep been using it for a few years. It takes a little bit to get used to, but if you like to take notes in Vim already, this is a nice tool. Auto obfuscates that you use it in Bash history if you follow the directions.

I’m all for legitimate papers and research challenging my views, however what kind of journal is “Marriage and Family Review”? It seems to be a little confusing with the “Marriage and Family Journal” which has been around for over 100 years. The “Review” variants has only been around since the 70s.

It seems to be primarily published through Taylor and Francis which has a mixed reputation when searching online. For others out there who are familiar with this publisher, please set me straight if my doubt is misplaced.

This is one of those papers where I look forward to having the research reproduced again in more journals, to alleviate my skepticism.

Not a new project, but I feel is often overlooked: Sakura. I’ve fallen back to it repeatedly over the years. It is lightweight, opinionated but sane. Not as brutalist as st. I combo it with Tmux using powerline with little tweaking.

It uses standard libraries and stays out of the way.
