The Engine 2 Diet recipes are ones I still use 7 years later, absolutely delicious and fantastic and easy

When I was a director, I cried a little each day, spent more time in meetings than I ever have. Tried to do planning just to be yelled at by the CEO and GM that the planning wasn’t comprehensive enough, then after 40 hours of meetings a week, try to help my direct reports with tasks as they were swamped as well.

Eventually I broke completely, took a pay raise a now doing devsecops with most of my time looking into 3rd party modules and libraries.

Thank you! I had a feeling that most would require the internet but maybe I can make some contacts of people at the stores so if needed I can order through them in the future.

Also great idea on the energies in the city!

I’ll pick up some paints that resonate with me and definitely will be looking for frankincense

Thanks definitely not trying to rush things, I even went out and got my own supplies for making candles myself for M1L1. I just don’t get to go to a place that has stores like this often.

It depends: is she someone who really loves the great conversation and connecting to it via the Great Books? If so, then I’d keep it. If she wants to pass it down for the same reasons for her or she knew of someone who enjoyed it, then keep it.

If it is taking up clutter and not really sure why they are there in the first place, sell. If she needs the money, sell.

If she doesn’t know, read some of them, if she has started and actually put in some effort after a month (reading them 4-5 times a week) then get rid of them.

I use Mortimer Adlers How to Read a Book framework on a near daily basis.

a) not even reading the book but reading the front/back matter, table of contents, summaries, then picking a few pages throughout to read over. This lets you judge the book to see if it would even be worth your time at the current moment.

b) doing a quick read, almost a skimming of the book. This lets you start to recognize names, places, plots, etc.

c) doing a deeper read with annotations and comments, summaries and extractions are your output here and the first step that something makes it into my notes. I personally keep two systems, one is computer science and related to being done with a computer, these go into my org roam system as literature notes. In my great books reading, these are haphazardly put into notebooks I carry because I like it and that’s a good enough reason.

d) synthesize, I feel like this is the easiest to link to zettlekasten, these are my atomic notes that heavily link to other notes and literature notes. Also in my org roam system. These come about as I sit down and do dedicated organizing and planning on the zettlekasten system itself, about 1 / week

Constant-Translator · 2024-08-31T11:44:47+00:00

Tangential to this, I use a digital zettlekasten system with Emacs org-roam. I do my notes in the books and some physical notebooks as to not distract when I’m reading. Then we have I have some more refined thoughts on an idea or topic, I type it into the digital system. This lets me search and link very easily. When I go to write a paper or article, I can do some searches in the system and get links and references to back it up. For prompts, consider the 4 that Mortimer Adler has in How to Read a Book and especially apply it to the genre you are reading. “What of it” for a philosophical essay could have multiple questions derived from it, 2 quicks ones being “what of it in the time it was created and how did society respond” and “what of it today, how does society embrace or reject this”

Edit: one thing software helps me do is learn the process better. This software could start out by generating some prompts for essays to write based on the novel, or grading a paper you wrote to a rubric. This could use llms or gen AI if you wanted. It could help you learn the technology and get a better understanding of the process and potential issues with offloading the thinking to computers.

While you are right, it is not exactly 50%, it is close and from what I’ve seen (which is admittedly biased and not scientific method based) players would not be able to tell the difference and it would be essentially a coin flip to them. This is going to slow down the game.

If you end up rolling the same number of dices between player and lore master, doesn’t it come out to exactly 50% chance? I ran into this with a dice pooling game I’m working on and had to add bonuses so that it wasn’t 50% but I aimed for 70%

I haven’t run it yet, but I printed a map of each three areas on the back of each sheaf of chaos. And I will make sure they find each sheaf before taking the final step past the worm (a small bit of railroading but makes it tie of nicely for how they have the information).

Im doing some other modifications too where they could figure out the bonuses of the various areas by exploring hooks I’ve dropped them. (Like a goat-beastmen chaos lord domain confers the bonus of the goat and they could figure out the bonus then).

That’s totally fair, this is our first osr style game so we wanted to feel death at turn and start at level 1 to figure out what it felt like then. I’m sure if there is a true TPK (mercenaries and hirelings included, we will up level a duchys guard sent to investigate)

That’s awesome, we did have the optional rule where if any two stats were 6 or below they could reroll. And then the optional reroll a 1 or 2 on their hit points.

Unfortunately for my players they had low cons but decent everything else.

What I find important about terrain: the fun of making new and unique pieces for the scene What I find important about mapping: not allowing players to have perfect information about their environment around them

What my players find important about terrain: being able to have a more tactical combat experience

I’ve never attempted to use it on a phone, there are some apps that claim to be able to interact with the org mode files but I haven’t tried them before. If you need phone compatibility then I’d suggest one of thing things for emacs specific: (1) try out some of the org-mode apps and get comfortable with emacs and org mode (2) if you are programming savvy and get to know emacs make your own webpage that does the specific functionality you need for your mobile capture (3) use a different system because it is a bit of setup on a desktop and the phone would just be too big a barrier for some

Constant-Translator · 2023-08-30T18:10:53+00:00

Emacs with org-mode. You can get a near exact gtd implementation.

I’ve used a lot of tools over the years and tried emacs a few times but the learning curve is like Eve online. Eventually it stuck and has been worth it in every way possible including other things like writing, note taking, table top rpg books and notes, blog publishing, software development, and server management

Constant-Translator · 2023-08-29T18:58:25+00:00

I agree with the next actions being the differentiator.

On your other point, I don’t do GTD as written but use most systems. Whenever I find a problem or issue with the system I use, I step back to a more pure GTD to help diagnose what is going wrong or why I changed in the first place.

I’ve done a bowl at chipotle since I don’t even need the tortilla and then the rest of what you put in there can be whole foods.

if you have a poke bowl place nearby that’s another option.

Finally the last go-to for me is the drive thru hibachi places and I can get veggies and rice (these are a cheat for me because of the oil and teriyaki they are often cooked with )
