The taste, the strength, the feeling, it’s perfect. My favorite before EC private barrels was Russell’s reserve SiB.

Edit: I of course mean diary private diary entries.

I ask this having been to events with national/ethnic dress, food, and other cultures. What can a white American say their culture is? It feels that for better or worse it’s been all melted together.

Trying to trace back to European roots feels disingenuous because I’ve been disconnected from those roots for a few generations.

This also makes me wonder was their any political motive in making white American culture be everything and nothing?

I try to read more but what else is there when I don’t wanna just read? I’ve done some notebook stuff too but I’ve found using it too much makes me be anxious about writing a lot down lol.

For instance as I lay on the bed for 10-20 minutes waiting for my child to take their nap. Do I just stare into the void?

Just got Mother’s Day flowers then searched the flowers :’(

I found Adobe acrobat was good at ocr but I’m on Linux now.

In the past I’ve mostly done Anki for Chinese and Japanese but am looking for something else since I’ve fallen off Anki.

For Chinese I really need a service that I can read and OCR words to easily identify in a dictionary. I’m at a high intermediate or low advanced level but looking up words is annoying.

For Japanese I just need input for an intermediate level.

• Clozemaster?
• Italki?

Listing services I’ve found

• Clozemaster (but has a bad model now)
• tutor with something like italki
• Anki
• busuu
• librelingo

I run one huge media server, one backup, three mini optiplex server (one public, private, and local), and one off site.

• Is there a cheap Pi or something similar I could bring for the optiplex servers and then just let go of the others until I'm back?
• Do I just throw everything in a VPS except for local stuff?
