Yeah I have a "nextlist" that I maintain in a Todoist project, that just lists the next book, game, movie, show, podcast, etc.

I add to it and rearrange priorities occasionally, but it's super nice to have when I get into that analysis paralysis you describe.

A long read, but a fascinating one:

...others tried to convince Trump that his rhetoric—publicly mocking Kim as “Little Rocket Man,” for instance—could trigger nuclear war. “If you keep pushing this clown, he could do something with nuclear weapons,” Kelly told him, explaining that Kim, though a dictator, could be pressured by his own military elites to attack American interests in response to Trump’s provocations. When that argument failed to work, Kelly spelled out for the president that a nuclear exchange could cost the lives of millions of Koreans and Japanese, as well as those of Americans throughout the Pacific. Guam, Kelly told him, falls within range of North Korean missiles. “Guam isn’t America,” Trump responded.

Kelly escorted Milley to the Oval Office. Milley saluted Trump and sat across from the president, who was seated at the Resolute Desk.
“You’re here because I’m interviewing you for the job of chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,” Trump said. “What do you think of that?”
Milley responded: “I’ll do whatever you ask me to do.” At which point, Trump turned to Kelly and said, “What’s that other job Mattis wants >him to do? Something in Europe?”
Kelly answered, “That’s SACEUR, the supreme allied commander in Europe.”
Trump asked, “What does that guy do?”
“That’s the person who commands U.S. forces in Europe,” Kelly said.
“Which is the better job?” Trump asked.
Kelly answered that the chairmanship is the better job. Trump offered Milley the role. The business of the meeting done, the conversation then veered in many different directions. But at one point Trump returned to the job offer, saying to Milley, “Mattis says you’re soft on transgenders. Are you soft on transgenders?”
Milley responded, “I’m not soft on transgender or hard on transgender. I’m about standards in the U.S. military, about who is qualified to serve in the U.S. military. I don’t care who you sleep with or what you are.”

Trump called Gallagher a hero and said he didn’t understand why he was being punished.
“Because he slit the throat of a wounded prisoner,” Milley said.
“The guy was going to die anyway,” Trump said.
Milley answered, “Mr. President, we have military ethics and laws about what happens in battle. We can’t do that kind of thing. It’s a war crime.” Trump answered that he didn’t understand “the big deal.” He went on, “You guys”—meaning combat soldiers—“are all just killers. What’s the difference?”

I've been working in Godot for about 3 years now, and have never touched GDScript. I personally haven't felt like a second class citizen, and have rarely run into C# specific bugs, or found the documentation was missing for C#, other than when I was using the GD4 betas.

That being said, I'm not currently targeting web or mobile with my hobby projects, and I know those are open issues with the C# support.

My 2c.

Ever since covid hit, I've been keeping digital copies of several books like the following:

Reader's Digest DIY Manual
The Forager's Harvest - A Guide to Identifying Harvesting and Preparing Edible Wild Plants by Samuel Thayer
The Complete Guide to Edible Wild Plants
Back to Basics - Abigail R. Gehring And of course a copy of Wikipedia.

I haven't gone full "prepper", but seeing how fast things went sideways at the beginning of covid, it makes me feel a little better to set aside a little bit of hard drive space, just in case.

Is the original armored core worth playing?

I'm sure influencers do, but over half the xevelopersyi like to follow on Twitter all created Mastodon accounts but never post to them. They all still only post to Twitter.

I use the free version of Todoist. I don't know what features google tasks all as now, but the big reason I switched from Tasks to Todoist was

Being able to share lists - Super helpful for things like shopping lists
Integration with things like Alexa - Going through the pantry and adding things to the shopping list with just my voice, or being able to add something to the shopping list just by saying it when it runs out is kind of like magic.
Easy natural language recurring tasks

I can't live without todoist personally. I started with Google tasks.

Natural selection 2. The game is pretty much dead now, and it is not easy on new players, but no other game I've played has this awesome sense to teamwork and coordination with intense combat. It kind of ruined all other multiplayer games for me. I haven't found anything like it.

Yeah, I was going to pick it up, until I saw that.

That's the hard part. It takes some time to curate a good list. One of the nice things about ttrss is that you can drop any url into the subscribe field and it'll search the page for RSS feeds. I'm sure other readers probably do something similar.

When it does click with you, them every other editor feels a little broken. It's a double edged sword.

I self host a tiny tiny rss instance, and while I'm not a huge fan of the developer and his behavior, I like the web app in combination with the android app. It's been working great for me for years.
