@patrickrhone This reminds me of Patrick Ng’s Chronodex… there was a time when I was thinking of getting a stamp of the commissioned of the Chronodex dial, so I can use it in my own notebooks…

@matigo That’s so cute, and nostalgic…
I know this wasn’t the point of your post, but when I read the guardian article you linked to, I was struck by this line.
“All things have a bit of soul,” he said.
I don’t think about it often, but when I throw away something that had been of use to me for many years I do thank it for its service before retiring it. It just seems the decent thing to do, no?
Emails are basically little meetings that you get sucked into throughout a day.
Following on from the GDPR discussion yesterday, and as Sebastian notes, in addition to the legality of processing personal data there is also an ethical consideration. Should you do it? Is it justified? Is it right?
I like @EddieHinkle’s /using page.
Naming-wise, “/using” matches “/now” pages more than “my tools” does.
That reminds me, I’ve still got to write that page… 😣

TL;DR: Ladies, buy men’s face wash! 😡
The article gives a couple of weak examples, but this is something I experienced the other day:
I went into my local Myers to buy a new face wash. I saw that a new charcoal face wash had come out, but unfortunately all the women’s charcoal face wash was sold out.
Interestingly, the men’s charcoal face wash was still available.
On the surface the two face wash looks the same, the only difference is that one is sold in the men’s section of the store (the one with the black lid) and one is sold in the women’s section (the one with the blue lid).
We asked the sales person what the difference between the two product was. She checked the ingredients list on the product and said they were the same. They’re even the same price.
What we did notice though, was that for the same price the men’s face wash is 200ml and the women’s one is 150ml.
It’s not a lot, I grant you, but why is there any difference to begin with?
Needless to say, I bought the men’s face wash home.
