I enjoyed Portraits of Childfree Wealth - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/03/book-review-portraits-of-childfree-wealth-jay-zigmont/
The book is free and has a fairly realistic look at the (American) childfree experience.

Six years ago today we launched https://openbenches.org/ - it is a crowdsourced map of memorial benches from around the world.
Uses OSM for displaying the maps and letting uploaders pick the exact right spot.
There's an API and data-dump so it can be incorporated into OSM - but our data isn't always as precise as needed. I'm still trying to work out a way to map an OSM bench ID to our ID.
If you're out mapping and spot a memorial bench, please do submit a geotagged photo to our site :-)
Magnets. (How do they work?)
I replaced all my USB-C and Micro-USB connectors with magnetic ones. No more orientation worries, no more fumbling in the dark, no more not-inserting-it-hard-enough. Just bring the two into proximity and them magically snap together.
Bliss.
Discord is where information goes to die.
Please just stick things on a website. I'm happy to help you set one up.
Yup - I quite agree. I have a portable powerbank which will also charge gadgets using USB-PD. I fill it up from solar and use it when I'm out and about.
Even my eReader has USB-C. Makes going on holiday much more convenient.
What's the higher likelihood:
- You forget your special ending
- Hackers find one of your plain text passwords which is

OMG! I still have my DataLink watch somewhere. I remember thinking it was amazing and showing off all the phone numbers I'd programmed into it.
Will your code work with any flashing LED? Or does it need special hardware?
I like it. As others have said, it is a rebadged Mulvad. When I got it, Mozilla was slightly cheaper. The apps for Linux work well and the speed seems decent.
Thanks! We have chatted with OSM. At the time we started there wasn't an inscription field. I think there now is. We've also signed a waiver so they can use our data if they wish.
The slight issue is that our photos are generally taken with a phone's GPS and may not be suitably accurate for their needs.
We also aim to be a lot easier to add to than OSM. So there aren't many checks.
OSM is a big, well funded project with lots of users and governance. OpenBenches is just me and my wife. We're not aiming to be them 😀
What news? Give us a link.

Yes, there are magnetic USB cables which do data. Here's my review of one https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/10/gadget-review-subbytech-magnetic-charge-sync-cables/
