I think I have a similar experience. I can remember scenes to some degree and my dreams are extremely vivid. I wish I could `see` in my mind like I do when I dream. But I don't think I can imagine an image very well. I certainly can't close my eyes and `see` it and I find it hard to believe that others can.
You say above "Supports both CSV and JSON/Google Takeout".
This would be amazing, however, for whatever reason, I don't have the CSV export option, and the page doesn't seem to allow choosing JSON files and when I drop the JSON it tells me "Please select a CSV file."
If you have your own garage, or even driveway with a charger, a Tesla is amazing. And their super charger network on highways is amazing, no logins, apps, credit cards, not even a screen on the device. Just pop it into the car, wait 10 or 15 minutes for 150 miles range then drive to the next one.
It's a shame the rental cars are giving EVs a bad name.
Back in the olden days, I had a junior dev ask me if he could learn ops, I said sure, I was just a hacker myself. He wrote a script to make sure the hard drives in all the servers were good. A month or so later we rebooted a server and it wouldn't come back up. We finally rebooted another to see if we could learn something about the dead server. But it also wouldn't boot. Then to our horror we learned that the disk check script was writing and reading to the boot sector to make sure it was good. All of our servers were affected. Good times.
I really liked Pandora's Star (The Commonwealth Saga) by Peter F. Hamilton.

I remember reading that making chips requires a lot of water, something that Arizona is running out of, will this be a problem?
I still write null checks if needed but for deeply nested objects, it comes down to only checking for null at the end of the chain instead of in Java where you have null checks each step of the way.
My solution is to convert to Kotlin, I can't stand working on Java anymore:
customer?.order?.lineItemList?.forEach { item -> val currency = item?.product?.price?.currency

Every new computer I've bought was fast enough but becomes completely unusable over time.
The one notable exception was my MacBook Pro 2019 which drove me insane because the stupid fans were always running.
Recently, my MacBook Pro 2021 M1 Max with a lot of RAM is running perfectly and I've never heard the fan on it.
For Java/Kotlin, HtmlUnit is generally pretty great.
It seems that the rich black soil in the Amazon was man-made and has lasted thousands of years:
I found these videos very interesting:

I found a lot of information from comments here:
If I'm reading that correctly, they say it should last about 4,000 years which should get us pretty far.
Is biochar a potential solution?
I bought the Luxe Bidet Neo 180 on Amazon for $41 in 2017.
Easy to install and no electricity needed. They are out of stock now, but if you can get one, they are amazing.
AsciiDoc is also supported by GitHub, I just use README.adoc instead of README.md.
The IntelliJ plugin is excellent.
And https://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoctor-diagram/ is amazing. I use PlantUML in it and love it.
I went to Germany around 1996 for training. It was scheduled at the last minute and I had never left the US before so I didn't have time to learn German.
At the Munich airport I asked the lady behind the information desk how to get to the train, in English. I was extremely polite. She was so offended and would not speak to me. Luckily a traveler standing next to the desk helped me.
Munich International Airport, Information Desk - no English. That made me really afraid to approach locals even though most that I met were very friendly and spoke excellent English.
This would be a great addition to my other sites. One finds matches based on your mothers maiden name, and the other finds matches based on your social security number.
I recently started scheduling my days using a paper and pen but this time with the 'bullet journal' system. I've tried many todo lists online that never stick and I've got stacks of notepads that I scribble notes in but never read again.
With my bullet journal I now have a system for reviewing tasks that, so far, actually seems to work for me.
Thanks! My faith in them has been restored :)
I purchased the Lifetime Upgrades in September 2015. Now it tells me there is a $25 upgrade fee to go to version 5. I emailed support a few hours ago to confirm. If this is true, I am extremely disappointed and feel cheated. Notice on the form to buy a new license it doesn't say anything about "Lifetime Upgrades for this major version _only_ which will be obsolete in a few months". I sure hope this is just a bug that they will fix.
