Laying out a careful grid and then just #drawing everything with a fat brush is fun.

ah nothing like a little modprobe to bring back the waves of nostalgia

Got complimented on being so organized which “hah” i laugh mirthlessly

but hang on

what if “organized” is just an accumulation of scar tissue and paranoia, like how “talented” is learning 1000 ways to be awful first?

also, a nice task list is like a towel

if you got that folks just sort of assume you’re the sort of with it and together person who has all the other stuff needed to cope with existence

Windows Terminal Preview copes noticeably better than Release w/ tmux vertical splits.

Not perfect, but it takes longer to start puking right pane text into the left.

(closing terminal tab and reopening tmux session in a new one seems to reset the vomit clock)

Course that cross-domain pervasiveness means you gotta be extra careful about stuff going stale.
