👨‍💻 Matthieu V. Just came along obsidian.md it make me want to structure my notes/ideas but I don't really know where and how to start... Maybe it would be a great software to start doing some daily journaling
😃 Javier I tried Evernote and other myriad of tools to organize my data too. No luck so far. Visualizing things in a way that evoke/trigger my memory is tricky. I do my daily journaling with a python console I wrote that stores my musings with the date and current weather temperature on a single text file that gets checked in on a local git repo. It's pretty boring. I should post the python console in Github or something.

🗿 Jonah I'm starting college in a few months. Does anyone here have advice for anything?
😃 Javier Some experience a culture shock in the dorms or the classroom. Expectations are high and unknown. Lectures may sound familiar or unfamiliar. If I had to go back I would take better care of my time management and clear, concise and attainable academic and personal goals. I would not be afraid to say no if comes down to do things that I clearly don't like.

😕 Fine Once you know you're doing harm, I do think it's your responsibility to try to do less harm. But I don't think it requires an instant 180 change. Doing better is better than doing nothing.
😃 Javier The difficult part for me is sitting next to a vegetarian or being invited to a house were specific foods are taboo and feeling judged. We are what we eat they say.

Miso I actually love that! Have you created a bookmark to get to that? Really smart.
😃 Javier I have multiple bookmarks with different font sizes and colors. The browser spell-checks and can be printed in a jiffy. It does wonders when I try to show text to a co-worker looking over my shoulder.

Cole Hudson This is fairly fascinating: youtu.be/_WsgJznDV.... To me this implies that non-professional, or even pre-programmed surgery is right around the corner. pretty cyberpunk actually
😃 Javier Fascinating. The average bypass surgery in the USA is 123K DLLS. With insurance people here end with a 40K 50K dollar tab on you way out of the Hospital. Hopefully the DaVinci machine brings the price down.
