I like Joplin too. My only issue is that the developer is weirdly against implementing any kind of encryption or password protection suggesting that users should do that on their end (at least last time I looked).
So I ended up using QOwnNotes which has this feature. But I can’t put that on my android phone so I’ve got this stupid setup with obsidian on the phone, QOwnNotes on my pc and resilio sync keeping it all synced.
Oh I see, so basically it’s missing the possibility of encrypting or password-protecting individual notes. That would be great indeed, too bad the devs don’t want to do it
A few years back my mom wanted to take a day trip to San Diego to sight see, I told her, the only sight I want to see is the Zoo so that’s where we went. I go to the zoo in every state I visit, big or small.
Way healthier and cheaper to make your own roast beef. The recipe is simple as it gets.
Leave meat out until 60 degrees to the core. Rub with light virgin olive oil, then heavy on the salt and pepper until it’s coated with it. Bake uncovered 375°F, 20 minutes a pound.
Cover for 20 minutes when you first pull it out so all the juices settle in. Aluminum foil and a bath towel works well for this.
Cool off to room temperature before putting in the fridge.
You will have the best RB for sandwiches you ever had.
Only buy roasts when they are on sale.
I just bought a 10 pound roast for $3.99 pound, saving me $14 a pound over deli roast beef that has added water and nitrates.
I froze half of it already sliced in vacuum sealed bags so I have some when Roast Beef is not on sale.
Not a hack necessarily, but worth repeating; if you can’t afford to pay it off right away, don’t put purchases on your credit card. Don’t make the same mistakes I have in the past.
That said, if you can afford to pay it off, credit is probably a better choice than debit for most purchases. Build up your credit score and earn those reward points.
A lot of times you don’t need to buy containers, you can reuse the ones where your food came from.
For example inside my freezer there are three ice cream pots, but none of them has actual ice cream - it’s tomato paste, chickpeas, cat food. In the past I’ve also reused margarine and requeijão pots to store leftover food, as makeshift planters, etc. The requeijão pots even worked as drinking glasses in my uni times.
If you just eat egg fried rice using ingredients from Aldi you’re able to bring your weekly food costs down to about £2-£3 a week, I lived that way for about 3 months during the cost of living crisis. Sure it was only 1000 calories a day but I was able to get all the nutrients I needed from the ingredients.
And if you're truly worried about making sure that you have minimal nutrition to survive on, that is literally the thing that multivitamins were invented to address.
Sure, you won't be living your absolute maximum healthiest lifestyle by doing this but if you've got to get through a couple of tight months this is the way to do it. The Dollar tree sells multivitamins. $1.25 for a month supply is not hopefully going to break the bank.
I think eggs have pretty much all the nutrients you need. They are high in cholesterol though. Same thing with milk. They are the sole nutrition for animals for a period of time, so they have everything needed in it (at least everything the animal needs).
I mean… while I defend the right of Israel to defend themselves from attacks, they’re basically committing genocide in the name of “defense” by not discerning between innocent Palestinians and Hamas. And thus, they have become the bad guys through their bad actions and are getting a lot of hate over it.
I tried using weird apps like this. But I find that my dumb lizard morning brain just gets confused at why the loud device won’t stop screaming at me. I briefly tried apps that made you solve a simple puzzle to dismiss the alarm, but my half asleep self didn’t understand what was going on and would just hold down the power button to turn off the phone and still be late.
After years and years of trying different methods, what works for me is having two alarms.
The first alarm is physically very close to you. It rings first. This alarm is easy for you to notice and wake up to, but also easy to shut off if you’re half asleep. That’s fine because it’s only the first attack.
The second alarm is across the room from you. It rings second, some time after the first one has gone off. This is your failsafe alarm in the event you accidentally snooze too much or turn the first alarm off. Because it’s far away from you, it wakes you up a bit to walk across the room so you’re more aware of what you’re doing. Also because it’s far away from you, if you try to use it as the first alarm instead of the second, you might not hear it and not wake up to it. This is why it is the second alarm and not the first or only alarm. You’ve already woken up once with the first alarm, so you’re more likely to still be able to hear this one and wake up.
I had chronic and significant issues with shutting off my alarm when half asleep all throughout my teenage years and early twenties to the point where it threatened and even sometimes affected my grades. This is the method that finally worked for me and I have rarely had an issue since.
Yep. I have several times dismissed an alarm instead of snoozing it. My tired brain gets so confused. I don’t know what either word means, and I know I’m supposed to pick one of them and I end up picking dismiss, even though snooze is green and dismiss is red. I just can’t figure out what I’m supposed to do and then fall back asleep. I have slept through exams and interviews in this way :(
