Had a cousin eat some spooky bread and found out the hard way what going cold turkey off her depression meds felt like. It was a rough couple days to get her back to baseline.

Under sun and sky, we greet you warmly.

Close enough when your actual database system is written in fucking COBOL.

Yes. I've spent far more money than I will ever save but I've had a lot of fun with it.

Also I printed a nerf blaster. Enough said.

Chickpeas. We usually have them toasted with veggies and couscous at least once a week, and if I need a quick lunch I'll mash a can's worth to make something similar to tuna salad and toss that on some toast.

Last time I tried the Feynman technique I was escorted from the building for impersonating a professor.

Seriously though, back in college I used the Leitner system until I was comfortable enough with the info that I could explain it in layman's terms. Though back in the day I just called the Feynman technique the rubber duck method thanks to my brother who was in IT and actually got everyone rubber ducks one year as a gag stocking stuffer.

Yeah I miss the feel of real paper in my hands but I have hundreds of books in this little black box and I like to reread most of them so it's handy. Sometimes I'll dust off my Kindle if I'm planning on reading for more than a few hours: the matte screen is a lot easier on the eyes.

That is a fun fact! I try to minimize the number of apps I have installed for that very reason, and the only things I have on my home screen are Moon+ Reader and my email, dialer, and texting apps.

Okay wait, how are Cyberpunk and Stardew both disappointments? If you'd mentioned Starfield I'd believe you but both those games are critically acclaimed and for good reason.

For my part, I've been playing No Man's Sky and I just restarted Tears of the Kingdom. I might dig into my retro library and start up Golden Sun though, it's been a while and I'm due for a replay.

The only thing I can think of that would be easier would be swapping to an e-reader/app with a built in dictionary function. I use Moon+ Reader myself, but I don't blame you if you want to stick to physical books.
