Or I can use actual Vim (RIP Bram) and have new vimscript, and no Lua.

I know Lua. Lua is why I won't use neovim.

Apple Reminders, which I now keep in a widget on my phone & iPad home screens. This is mainly for repeating items, like shopping, since I can turn on "show completed" and then uncheck them to put back on the list.

Or paper notebook, which I normally have in my pocket. This is for more serious things where I need to write some procedure or notes.

Used to use Things, which is great, but it's overkill for my current needs.

I'm not a sponsored read, or I'd've linked and not included Gerber as well! It's pretty common, but prob. could've said "multitool" there too, so: A multitool. A folding pliers, knives, screwdrivers, files, etc. gadget.

I haven't figured out how to keep a lifejacket in my pockets or pack yet. Perhaps a puffy coat that doubles as a flotation device? Good idea, keep workshopping it.

Matrix, XMPP, etc. will all pass and be forgotten.

IRC will never die, and the channels on it are often useful. I suggest starting with libera.chat

Find a client you like. I'm on Mac, I tolerate LimeChat, Adium is "better" but I don't use any other chats, which is what it's for. There's plenty of options. ircii is the classic.

  1. Leatherman. I carry a Wave. Got a Gerber and a couple others, but the original (this replaced my 1st gen) is best.
  2. Pen & notepad. Always having your own pen that is kept full, and some paper to write someone a physical note, is an amazing superpower.
  3. Face masks. COVID is still a thing, don't be dumb. Also carry hand sanitizer or alcohol wipes.
  4. Flashlight. I have a small tube 9-LED that's usually in there, but also a 1-LED watch battery thing for the keychain, and I've got a few more around here. Yes your phone has a flash that can be kept on, but it burns battery, and is often awkward. Having light whenever is magic.
  5. Switchblade, survival knife, folding knife, etc. Defensive uses, but also heavier utility knife than the Leatherman.
  6. Pepper spray, derringer, etc. if you live in a dangerous area.
  7. Survival kit. This is more of a backpack item. Get a tiny survival, first aid, etc. kit, there's a million uses for having some cord, bandages, shiny foil blanket, etc.
  8. Cigarette lighter or box of matches. Even if you don't smoke, being able to make fire is another magic skill. I keep this with the survival kit.
  9. Headphones, I have slightly-better-than-earbuds tucked in my coat. Noisy annoying people just stop being a problem.

And then my phone, keys, wallet, shades. Yes, I buy clothes with a lot of pockets.

No, you can just download Xcode free from the Mac App Store, or off developer.apple.com. Only the App Store needs the fee.

You clearly didn't spend any effort trying it, learning how it works, or reading the license. It is literally a browser, just not named Safari and using your saved preferences, which is a good thing when you're developing. Not that you can.

I award you zero points.

Hanes is fine, I've got some others, nice ones for date nights, but they make no real difference to me. I've never bought Fruit of the Loom.

Jockeys are a little warmer which is important in the frozen-6-months northern wasteland, boxers are nice when it's warmer.
