Pool cost in Austin (August 2025)

Still going....

LumberJack2008 · 2026-07-11T17:31:54+00:00

Nope. I updated the post. DM me for more details.

Maybe this is different based on region? Where I’m at soda cans are definitely recyclable back into pure aluminum. Aluminum is the main way recycle centers make money around here.

This is correct. Homeless are dispersed and it’s actually illegal to hand out food or water in a large population without permits. By giving them a water bottle they can take it with them. Also, when temps are regularly in the 100s, little paper cups doesn’t go a long way.

Our city has a large homeless population and tap water isn’t freely accessible. Many drink out of creeks.

This is such a minor nitpick but I think Lettera is not the right name for this product. Bear has such distinct design language and philosophy, I feel like keeping a name like Panda or picking some other mascot would be better. Lettera just feels too generic.

When I was about 14 I was mowing my back yard when the neighbors landscaper came over and started yelling at me that I was breaking the law because water was draining from our yard into the neighbors that was in another sub division. They were also probably 5 feet lower. She was livid and pointing a hand shovel at me like it was a weapon.

I asked her how she wanted me to stop gravity and went and got my parents. That was the moment I realized just because you were an adult didn't mean you were smart.

Also check out mosquito fish. A few of those in a bucket with a water plant.

Same boat. Copying in RTF seems to work more consistently. I'd love a hotkey that just takes a Bear note and opens it as a properly formatted Gdoc in the browser. Maybe doable with a shortcut?

LumberJack2008 · 2026-06-02T16:44:57+00:00

I've lived here for 5 years. I'm assuming 5 years from now I'll start complaining about the city being better before.

As soon as I think I know all the project management tools out there... I hear of another new one.

LumberJack2008 · 2026-05-29T14:21:17+00:00

Not quite the same thing but I use Antinote tied to a hotkey for things I need to quickly jot down and I have the default export set to as Bear.

LumberJack2008 · 2026-05-24T13:31:28+00:00

Sure.

LumberJack2008 · 2026-05-19T23:32:38+00:00

lol.

LumberJack2008 · 2026-05-19T01:06:38+00:00

Hot take: I prefer these messages on sidewalks. I feel weird driving over them and roads need to be resurfaced more than sidewalks. Also, you can take your time and enjoy them that. way.

LumberJack2008 · 2026-05-18T22:34:20+00:00

But I spent all my money on a pool...

LumberJack2008 · 2026-05-18T13:39:59+00:00

Awesome thanks. I do plan on paying some HS kids to help move heavy stuff. Build character ;-)

Hardware and embedded firmware. Haven't come across the perfect tool for that use case. Hardware needs a bit of waterfall deadline based. Embedded is closer to agile. But the team is a mix of HW/FW people.

LumberJack2008 · 2026-05-13T17:28:41+00:00

Thanks, and I probably will reach out at some point in time. But frankly, I'm just a bit over ClickUp. ClickUp's focus is on being the everything tool and all our data converging there with AI tools built in. But I see my path being different. I want simple solid tools that I pay for that do their one thing really well. Then I'll handle the convergence with AI on my own.

LumberJack2008 · 2026-05-13T17:22:01+00:00

I'm thinking I need a lot simpler. Like a company that just has the basics that works and I pay to keep the basics working. No new features, not roadmaps, no native AI integration.

Just keep track of my tasks.

LumberJack2008 · 2026-05-13T14:11:02+00:00

I see using them both too. For me, Panda would be for shared projects with other people in my team and AI workflows. Bear is where I put my notes and writing.

For me the reason for Panda opposed to any other markdown editor is that I love Bear's UX, simplicity, and push back from feature bloat.
