I’ve been better. My 2 year old developed a fear of the dark a couple of months ago and now refuses to go to sleep alone. She used to be a great sleeper: fell asleep independently and slept through the night. Now, it’s a struggle to calm her down for bedtime and she’s guaranteed to wake up crying 2-4 times a night. At this point, I’m so exhausted and frustrated. Yet, I also realize she’s just 2 and just wants to feel safe and comforted.

My 2 year old has started talking about being afraid of the dark and monsters. No idea where she picked it up.

Rather than try and force Firefox to deal with thousands of tabs, it’d be easier to use an add-on like SingleFile to download the tabs as self-contained HTML files. After that, you can search their contents using free tools like Agent Ransack or DocFetcher.

If you prefer to keep the data in your browser, then how about using a service like Instapaper that lets you save pages for reading/referencing later as well as search their contents?

I'm in chapter 2 and I'm a bit mixed on the experience. The game definitely has some good humor, but I haven't really been blown away by anything. Maybe it's just where I'm at in life because I have a young kid and limited time to play anything. My main complaints so far are that:

  • The game takes a bit too long to give the player freedom and let them explore, just like other games by Nintendo.
  • Some battles are slow/tedious. Action commands have a nice payoff and are fun to accomplish, but I might've actually preferred a standard turn-based attack style.
  • I miss quality of life features from later Paper Mario games like how lower level enemies in The Origami King automatically flee from you.

I'm still gonna keep playing, but finishing up Paranormasight and Ace Attorney are more appealing at the moment.

I like the fact that they support devices with software updates longer than their competitors.

My last phone was a Pixel 2XL, which I loved, but it stopped getting security updates after just 2 years. I know Goggle has pledged to support devices longer, but I can’t trust them to actually follow through.

This is kinda like the plot to the comic Eight Billion Genies.

I’m working my way through Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. I never played it back in the day even though we opened a GameCube. I’ve just completed the prologue and I’m wondering if it’ll live up to the hype.

As a former Android user, I’ve been sorely missing the customizability since the switch. This would be a welcome addition.

If your notes are primarily text, I’d suggest Obsidian. It’s cross-platform (Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, and Linux) and open source. I moved over from OneNote and have been absolutely loving it.
