I’m sorry for your loss my friend. You are absolutely right to cherish life, but at the same time your grief also has its place.

Pistache probably “deserves” (by lack of a better word) some tears for your time together, not all tears are bad.

So thank you for sharing and take care.

PS this one always seems to help me a bit, maybe it can do the same for you:

— Why do all things have a name? the little one asked the teacher.

There was a short silence - and the teacher answered:

What a beautiful question!

Your name was given to you by your parents.

Because you have a name, I can call you.

And when I call you, you can come to me.

And when you come, I can take hold of you.

And when we hold each other, I can let you go.

First: determine how much time you are able (and willing!) to invest, be realistic about it. Second: see if https://www.khanacademy.org/ provides the math level you have in mind and proceed at a steady weekly pace.

Hmmm…almost exact 15 years after the 2007 MS design patent on Calibri (which had a duration of 15 years) they switch to a new, alternative Office-exclusive font for the next 15 years.

Only to be used ‘freely’ for personal use and again probibited to be bundled with, let’s say, other products like LibreOffice.

It’s all about lock-in and revenue, plain and simple. The same business strategy like Apple with the default San Francisco font and Adobe with the default Minion Pro font. I understand why they do it this way, I just don’t like it.

Take all the time you need, there’s nothing as important as family. I hope it will turn out for the best for you and your loved ones, take care!

Memmy seems like a solid choice, very active development. It has been offered to Apple review last week and should appear in the appstore soon.
