Ass as in donkey and ass as in butt have different etymologies. The donkey one likely comes from Latin asinus and the butt one is from dropping the r in arse, which comes from the PIE root *ors- meaning butt/backside

If you're a terminal weirdo like me I'd recommend Taskwarrior

I read the r in purses as an s at first but the joke still worked

In that case the US can just arm the resistance groups. Nothing bad has ever happened by doing that.

I'm just using a self hosted git repo with markdown files. I was having trouble finding something open source that I could edit with vim that also had a good mobile solution. I also didn't want to get locked into a file format that was specific to an app.

Markdown is ubiquitous and I use git all the time as a developer so it was easier to tack something onto an existing workflow. It's a little janky but at least I won't be screwed by devs abandoning whatever app I was using.

Oddly enough croak is likely also onomatopoeia (imitative)

Listen to this wisdom. I used to be a heart and soul person and it burned me out real bad. I left a smaller startup at a point where I was handling several projects at the same time and I felt guilty about dumping all of it on my coworkers. I thought I was vital to the company but I was quickly forgotten and replaced. I don't know why I ever cared so much. It was software I'd never use in my own life and it wasn't important to the people who did.

Save the passion for your personal projects and try to find something low stress to pay the bills

For a good minute or 2 today a leaf blower, chainsaw, and police sirens combined powers to just fuck my shit up
