@airsick A use I have run into multiple times is I don't want to set the expectation that I check email outside of work hours (in part because it's true but also in part so that people will not _only_ email me if it's urgent) so I'll schedule replies to appear to be sent at "normal" random times.
But then my boss—who is fine with being known as someone who emails all hours of the night—might reply in the thread after I've scheduled my reply and render what I said no longer relevant.
@levisan synecdoche is a great word of the day!
@freemo That's amazing! I've never been in that situation for long enough to get very efficient but I think I'd at least wear some clothing in the winter for the sake of not having to heat the house as much
@freemo I thought of the question while sitting on the toilet while the wife and kids were gone, and realising that I had habitually closed (but not locked) the door behind me.
I suppose your habit-training levels are very different!
@geordie I see a green bubble on your Apple Messages screenshot and now I wonder how Mr 12's texting setup is, well, set up.
Does he not have an iOS device? Or not have mobile data?
(Making notes for when my kids get to that stage)
TIL there's a permanent weather buoy at 0°N 0°E

@mdacre @Johncdvorak I drive either of those highways a couple times a year… It would be nice to have an interesting stopping point when stranded due to mountain weather
What a fantastic website. I wish everyone would use plaintext emails. It's so much better than huge and hugely annoying html emails.
Use Plaintext Email

@brad I haven't noticed that one before!
@progo I didn't know LibreOffice could do that! Neat.
If you think I'm weird in cyberspace you should find me in meatspace.
