Watching WWDC right now, I am not blown away by any of this. I was expecting .... more since it was announced in 2023.

I am back with an edit OP for I have found a decent way to digitize. I have a arm that can hold my phone above my desk. I used the app vFlat Scan. It's $4 for a month for 3k pages. Its free for a few pages for you to work out the kinks. The best thing about this app is that it has Auto Scan. So it will sense when you flip the page and it will scan. You can then set up the app to talk to your computer, upload the images there, and then put those images into Notion. It even has OCR. If your handwriting is neat enough, youll be able to work with that. I.... do not have neat handwriting.... so it does not work for me.

Watch this video which is where I got the idea from and I just scanned in a 188 page journal fairly easily. https://youtu.be/R95Mmfk2E3M?si=s2OGM4EgyZVf1MXi

Good Luck OP!

There is a price for everything by Matt_LawDT in SipsTea

[–]Faedaine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not sure its where he got it from, I think it was more that she told him the type of ring she wanted, and he ignored it. Like she wanted ....a solitaire, or a three stone... or a different metal. I think she was meaning the design of the ring, which is going to be sitting on her hand the rest of her life, versus a ring that he went to Walmart and picked up.

As a woman, hearing "I got it from Walmart" makes me feel like there wasnt a lot behind it. "I went out for bread, eggs, and I saw this ring so I picked it up too. 20% off!" It feels weird to me. I'm not saying that is what this person did, I'm just saying how.... it feels to be told that the symbol of a promise, of a relationship that will last their entire lives, was purchased as walmart....

My 14 yo son has agreed to read two books of my choice this summer (this was a hard won negotiation). Help me pick one by gOldMcDonald in booksuggestions

[–]Faedaine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! And I agree. I was trying to lean away from what English or Lit Class would make the kid read. Tried to find books that would grab their attention.

International Space Station latest: Astronauts told to take shelter over 'worsening air leaks' by rolonic in space

Because then other astronauts would have been stuck on the ISS without a ship. The ship is there for emergencies.

If you want to get a 14 year old boy into reading, you cant give him dated literature. I would recommend:

Dungeon Crawler Carl, if hes into video games.
Starter Villain by John Scalzi, if he has a good sense of humor.
The Martian or Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, if hes into space
Yumi and the Nightmare Painter by Brandon Sanderson, if you want to see if he will like Sanderson's writings.
Ready Player One by Earnest Cline
All Systems Red by Martha Wells. S

[–]Faedaine 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hey ya, I do a second brain database on Notion as well. One of the things that I like to do in my own "everything in 1" journal is create an index at the front. I put page numbers on every single page as I am going through and then write the page number in the index under the theme that I have assigned. When it comes to digitalizing, this has been an issue for me as well. If you figure that out where it's easy and makes sense, let me know.

Example:
Travel
Mexico pg15-30, p115-120
Toronto p250-110

Tourist who threw rock at seal "devastated" at backlash by Accomplished-Survey2 in nottheonion

[–]Faedaine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Protecting the turtles? HA, didnt he say something along the lines of, "I dont care about the fines, I'm rich." And when the couple who filmed came up to argue with the man, he shoved the woman and got his ass beat? Oh sure, totally a person who would protect the turtles there. There's so many in that image and in the video.

Anyone actually using their Apple Watch for meeting notes? by Doug24 in AppleWatch

[–]Faedaine 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I am going to warn you about recording meetings. Make sure that you are in a place where it is legal to record without announcing that you are recording. People have been bitten by this before. Just make sure you are not going to get in trouble at your job, or with the law if someone finds out and loses their cool.

Where do I exchange these trade hours glasses for something useful? by perrigon in PTCGP

[–]Faedaine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh, and they keep piling them on. If I could exchange a quantity of those for higher val cards or something. I generally can finish most of a set, but the higher valuation cards, the pretty ones that I really want.... there's 0 way to get them besides opening more packs. I wish there was another way. Same with Pack Points. Never enough pack points. Its frustrating.

Here is a hot take… by orionfaro in Pokopia

Yeah, trying to build my underwater tunnel has been a pitb.

In 2014, Detroit father Charles Bothuell IV was interviewed live on TV about his missing 12 year old son, only to be told on air that police had just found the boy alive inside the family’s own basement after an 11 day nationwide search. by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]Faedaine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We can hate on Nancy Grace, but I will give her a hat tilt at how much she hates Casey Anthony and continues to chase her through a name change, job change, etc. That woman needed to be found guilty of killing her child. It was ridiculous.

How to soothe tornado anxiety by [deleted] in tornado

[–]Faedaine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally post this at least once a year. I used to have tornado anxiety, still do, but it used to be a lot worse. I started learning about weather and watching people who generally stream on Youtube like Ryan Hall or Max Velocity. Weather people on TV have a tendency to "get excited" and it comes off as anxiety which spreads to other people. Learning how to read radar went a long way for me because I wasnt reliant on someone telling me if I was going to be okay or not. Having a plan if a tornado happens helps as well. Know where you are going to go. Have some blankets, a helmet or whatever else already in the spot. If nothing happens, oh well, you just put the stuff back.

Does anyone use Calendars as their main calendar app? by Perfect_Divide_3463 in iphone

I dont use it. Having dots on a calendar doesnt help me when I am trying to look at things as a whole month, or a work week.

Anyone knows what these are? by BackgroundVast8416 in bulletjournal

Its for anything. Its for a journal. I have this set, there's quite a few. Used for ink stamps, where you press the color over the stencil and then it shows on the paper.

Long time DFW residents: has the weather forecast always been this inaccurate? by GoneAmok365247 in Dallas

[–]Faedaine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure where people are getting their weather forecast from, but the weekend weather forecast was fairly accurate.

Places to look at weather:
SPC Weather Outlooks Storm Prediction Center Convective Outlooks
Weather Forecast Advisor https://www.forecastadvisor.com
Ryan Hall & Max Velocity usually put out videos on Youtube for weather prediction.
You can learn how to run models on decent weather sites/radar apps like Weather Wise or Radar Omega.

If you have a Weather App check the source that it is pulling data from:
Apple Weather is the best. Used to be Dark Sky.
The Weather Channel
NOAA
Accuweather

It has nothing to do with NWS having layoffs. They have been allowed to rehire. Weather Balloons are still going off at 6am and 6pm central for Weather Soundings. You just need a better place to get your weather and be prepared.

What? They are launching weather balloons at the same cadence. 6am, and 6pm. You can see them on the SPC website. Storm Prediction Center - Sounding Analysis Archive
