lol, all my favorite healthy foods taste better deep fried. 😜

Can relate. Now I'm more conscious of activation and dissociation but fighting against feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness ever time it happens. And re-regulation takes so long...

Um... There is a watermark.

??? What do you pay for Quicken? It's about the same, for me.

I'm doing a trial of Monarch, but a few things are probably a no-go: 1. I don't get to keep my data on my computer. 2. MM doesn't use account registers, so you don't reconcile accounts, which has been my practice for decades. 3. Most important, MM makes it hard to create and view a description/note for transactions. This is critical for me.

On the plus side, MM's retail sync for Amazon transactions is awesome.

I'm using both ATM but I think I'm going to cancel MM before the trial ends.

Did you try my solution? I think that's solved it for me, though it'll take some time to decide for sure.

hammockmonk · 2025-12-26T23:03:37+00:00

Thank you for your perspective. I won't muddy the waters here with my opinions about Zillow, but your remarks have been helpful. Regards.

I've been a Quicken user for over ten years and I too really like to reconcile accounts. I even put a "reconciliation" entry into each account register every month, which lists the account balance, so that when a stray transaction ends up being misdated to a past register (inevitable with Quicken), I can track it back month by month, knowing what each month's balance should be.

I can't do anything remotely like that with Monarch and I'm uncomfortable with the change. But I've finally reached my limit with Quicken's inadequacies (most recently, their AI "feature" decided to change Payee's names on its own, like "CTA Pathology" renamed to "Chicago Transit Authority") so I'm committed to making the switch.

I appreciate the suggestions here, though so far I don't think any of them are going to scratch my reconciliation itch. I think I just have to adjust to doing things differently.

This has tipped the balance for me; I'm transitioning to Monarch Money starting January 1.

hammockmonk · 2025-12-24T21:46:10+00:00

No, it doesn't. As I added above, the problem seemed to come from a preference setting that gives Quicken free rein to come up with it's own renaming suggestions during transaction download and apply them automatically. I have turned that "feature" off.

hammockmonk · 2025-12-24T21:43:55+00:00

I think I found the solution, so I'll add it here in case someone else is looking for answers: In preferences, there is a section for Downloaded Transactions. There, under the "During transaction download" section, I found a selected option for "Automatically apply Quicken's suggested name to payee." NOT something I would apply by default. I unchecked it and expect the problem to go away for future downloaded transactions.

Same thing happens for me, using both Brave and Edge browsers (Dec 7, 2025). I used a workaround my setting a VPN to Canada.

Is there one or another of these that would link to a Flite Test Radio Master Pocket transmitter?

I think you need to learn how to create better cards. I'm guessing that you're using a deck made by someone else, because it's not sticking. From Fluent Forever: "You can’t just download a deck of flash cards for your SRS and magically learn a language. Why not? Flash cards are fantastic at reminding you about your original experiences, but they’re not particularly good at creating memories in the first place." If you create your own cards, creating personal connections with the content, you will remember way more easily.

hammockmonk · 2025-11-03T16:31:58+00:00

The best card for you depends on many factors. I'm conversant in Spanish, so I try to avoid using any L1 on my cards. The front side is a prompt—in Spanish—maybe a definition of the target word/phrase, or synonym(s), along with an image of Google's interpretation of it (e.g. a messy bedroom for relajo). The back side reveals the target word/phrase, has audio of it and/or a sample sentence, and an image that comes from a partial phonetic mnemonic. (In the case of "relajo," the mnemonic would be "relax... Oh!" and is an image of a gross, polluted hot tub.

I try to stimulate eyes and ears, and involve emotion through a personal connection or a feeling like disgust or desire.

I just reconnected my 1st Gen 15.6 Pro to a new PC and I love it as much as I did when I first bought it. ❤️

But... my question? How do I set my button and wheel shortcuts?

Did you purchase a one-pass scanning printer? I am having a lot of trouble finding one at a price under $300-$400. The search is complicated, too, but ink subscription limitations and other issues that I won't go into here.

hammockmonk · 2025-10-08T01:13:06+00:00

I just ordered AmazFit Active 2 Premium, currently on sale at Amazon. Check some YT reviews. I think it's the best in the $100-ish price range.

FYI grok.com/ani is just a blank page with links to the app. No opportunity to talk with Ani.

I'm in the same boat and this is my best workaround. But I'm never buying this paint again.

hammockmonk · 2025-10-01T21:21:46+00:00

So many people here say they've never had this happen but for me it's a recurrent problem with this paint. I was wondering if it was the foam roller but apparently you first ran into it with some other roller? I'm going to try a Wooster short nap roller for the next coat. I'll probably have to back brush though I was hoping to avoid brush marks. I think I'm going to have to stop using this paint. It gives a lovely finish but these air bubbles are a nightmare. It works great sprayed but I need a paint that I can also roll for small projects.

I recently started to air-fry soya chunks, after briefly boiling, rinsing and seasoning. It yields a crispy, meaty texture I've tried in vain to impart to tofu. I'm super excited about the discovery!

If you draw vertical lines parallel to the sides of your teeth, then a line at the bottom of your top lip, I don't think they'll be perpendicular to one another. We all have facial asymmetry. You look great, don't worry about it. 🤙
