One of my in-laws wrapped everything in the comics section of the newspaper. They saved them all year and used up their stockpile at Christmas. That practice disappeared in the last decade with online news consumption and newsprint going out of style.
I like the cloth bags and I think we'll start using them going forward. Although I may have 20 years supply of wrapping paper on hand from Costco sized rolls.

I replied to a brother on that substack thingy, who wrote this article:

Decided to rescue my comments and post them here also:
I'm coming around to your no-notes rule. Bibles don't last long here, don't wear well, not made to last at all. I've bought some new ones, different versions, recently, and decided not to mark them up. For all the reasons you mentioned, plus some. Am seriously considering a change of version because of changes in the Portuguese NIV (NVI). So I'm at a good place to be reminded of this. Thanks!
Oh, coffee on TWO Bibles? (I hope it wasn't Brazilian coffee ...) Of course, I lost two hard drives back in the day. Sometimes a fellow doesn't learn the first time around. :)

It only took me 50 years of cooking/baking to realize that cutting butter into smaller pieces makes it easier to mix with sugar when mixing by hand.

Interesting. I never knew that Ctrl-9 / Cmd-9 was such a common shortcut for "go to *last* tab" until a couple of weeks ago when I read it in a Firefox or Brave shortcuts list. There I was, thinking it should take me to the 9th tab, of all things...
Transpires it also works in macOS Terminal, too.
And now I'm almost living off it ;) -
Guitars are tuned an octave below where guitar music is written. I still laugh about the time I bought a guitar for my kids from someone who didn't know that and the high-E string mysteriously kept breaking. Clearly, I do not have 'perfect pitch'.
Fast forward to today when the Linux 'GNU Lingot' tuner app patiently explained to me, musically 'keen but subnormal', that my voice is an octave lower than I thought, for very obvious reasons. #SlowLearner but #EverythingIsRelative. -

This is incredibly obvious, but only today during guitar class did it occur to me that when I move chords in a major scale up and down the fretboard, each string is in its own mode. #slowlearner

And Safia, for the 10,000th time, you gotta learn:
Believe what people do, not what they say.
And may God protect my heart and let me do good and say good. Aameen. 🙏🏽🤲🏽

@dabertime hope you’re ok. Living with chronic invisible illness is tough. I discovered last year, that when I found myself saying “I’ll just…..” I had already reached the point of exhaustion and need to stop. So I’ve practiced listening to that smart inner cookie and if I push too far and hear myself using that line, I pull up and rest straight away. #traumainformedcare #slowlearner #chronicpain #invisibleillness

Hey! #introduction on a new server with my favorite tech peeps! My name is Sasha and I am a #developer
a #backenddev reformed to be a #fullstackdeveloper, with experience in #dotnet, #csharp, #javascript, #python, interested in #functional programming
a #slowlearner that ironically has a broad interest in all dev things, but not enough time and energy to get to them all
I believe that #teamequalsproduct and also that #empathy and #kindness are underrated.

I'll completely own this, I never really understood visual mode in vim, but commenting and uncommenting debug directives is now so much easier.
Migod I've suffered so long. SO LONG.
