A llama, not llama. Aha!

I made my own CLI habit tracker, but forgot about using it since I don't have notifications.

This looks great! I can't quit trying new apps! But joking aside, this is what a (bad) habit tracker should be like. Focused on the habits and not distract you with everything else. Let's see if I can quit social media. (Hope that does not include HN)

That's all I use now for REAL social media. My family is in one Signal chat, and my in-laws in a other one. All the social media I need. School groups are unfortunately on Facebook Messenger groups.

This is exactly what I have been looking for. Like the other commenter, I am a but surprised by having to drag along psql for this. I like the design of the site, though

This has nothing to do with explosives. In case you wondered.

I applaud your accuracy when measuring your kids' temperature. My approach when figuring out if my kids are sick is if their temperature is "high" and their general appearance and conditition is out of the ordinary. The exact decimal of the temperature doesn't matter too much by itself.

Agree with this guy. Never tried Lord Leicester hotel in Warwick though, but looks like it's too late. Shut down.

New comment by aleken in "Ask HN: Why are bookmarks second class citizens in browsers?"

aleken — Thu, 18 Aug 2022 08:56:32 +0000

After reading your comment, I went to the bookmark manager in Firefox. Looks like Firefox supports tagging bookmarks. But finding them again using tags seems a bit cumbersome. You have to go the the menu to search bookmarks and then enter the tag.

Perhaps @chiefalchemist is thinking about how salty water is more floaty water.
