  • Well, I’m being cheeky with the phrasing here. When I say I’m breathing manually, I mean I’m much more in tune with my autonomic breathing than most people seem to be. I am very aware of my autonomic breathing, and silde in and out of actively controlling it easier than talking.

    Some people seem to experience autonomic breathing like an automatic transmission, and sometimes they shift into manual mode. My breathing feels more like an electric bike, where I can pedal along, rest my legs, or take over without changing anything. A car suddenly shifted into manual gear is more disruptive and complex to deal with than a bike battery being turned off. I was pedaling already!


  • I don’t mind onions when they’re used as a real ingredient. French onion soup, stir-fry, onion rings, all good. Onions also make decent filler in soup and curry, but I think the only soup I’ve had without onion is cheese & broccoli. Every ground meat I’ve seen uses onions as filler, so every burger, nearly every taco, most sausages, every lasagna, every spring roll, all have that onion taste.

    If leeks were used like this, I’d probably hate them too.



  • It also argues that municipalities create far too much parking space, reducing the amount of useable area in cities. This is one big reason why most US and Canadian city centers are dying, as more downtown plots are dedicated to parking, and new plots need a crazy amount parking.

    New constructions all have huge parking lots like big box stores and fast food islands, surrounded by a sea of pavement. The lower density reduces propery taxes (as they’re usually calculated by the number of properties, not the used land area), and increases the need for a vehicle to reach locations.

    Free parking in general may help to keep things accessible to everyone (with a car), but the amount of parking is choking everyone out and increasing reliance on car manufacturers and roadwork companies.





  • Hundreds of other things? I just said 15 things!

    There’s definitely tab rot though, and coming back to an area often sees half of the tabs cleared before continuing. I can’t imagine that kind of turnover with bookmarks though, especially with how comparatively clunky removing bookmarks is.

    Boockmarks don’t updated themselves either, so keeping my place in a story or post list is way harder. Tabs also maintain physical correlations, with a parent tab closing all children when closed, and staying near where you use them. Bookmarks need to be explicitly organized and updated, taking several clicks for each, instead of being organized and updated just by using them.

    How often are tabs processed? Most tabs get closed before they’re a week old, some groups are reused every week --TTRPG references mostly-- currently using ~15 tabs: 5 indexes, 2 character sheets, 5 common references, and whatever weird stuff was relevant last session

    Other groups are used or closed as projects are worked on: 6 tabs for Factorio calculators, ~10 tabs for exoplanet research for worldbuilding, ~20 game tutorials (these could probably be bookmarks), ~15 wikis for the various games I’ve played in the last few months (half could be bookmarks), ~10 tabs for setting up my new phone (these will be closed soon), 5 tabs I just closed because I stopped needing them, ~5 youtube series I listen to while I work, as the topic strikes me, ~15 individual videos I’ll probably watch in the next few weeks (several are 2+ hours long), ~15 music tabs of either specific songs or topics I listen to as the fancy strikes me, ~20 tabs of bugs and issues I’ve been having (which will get cleared when I resolve them or stop caring), ~20 tabs of research for a work project (15 will probably be closed immediately)(should probably not be in my personal browser), ~10 tabs of stuff I just looked up in the last couple of days and haven’t closed yet, And probably 10 aspirational tabs of stuff I’d like to get to in the future, but probably won’t (definitely won’t if they’re bookmarks).

    I’ve touched ~80% in the last 3 months, and ~50% this month, although my phone has a lot more old aspirational tabs.

    When it comes to a list building up, what’s the difference between old tabs and old bookmarks anyway? Neither are using any resources. A link wouldn’t be and more or less important as a bookmark than a tab.
