    OP, if you use iOS, you can add safari bookmarks to your home screen. I've already added a Tildes bookmark to mine.

    Well, my car's radiator blew last Saturday, but I was able to fix it myself the next day for less than $100 total, so not too bad.

    All of the problems you point out are why I’m sticking to my old MacBook. I have a 2012 15” MacBook Pro, which I believe is the last 15” MacBook made with a battery that isn’t super glued in and with user replaceable RAM. It is running well (though its USB ports are worn) and I intend to use it until it is totally dead.

    Listening to the ambient music album Albion by Juta Takahashi. It's a great stress reliever.

    I'm about 200 pages into the first book, right at the beginning of part five.
    I'm impressed, especially by the games that the foundation world plays to survive and stay autonomous when its neighbors want to invade and control it. It took me a while to get into the book, but I was hooked by the end of part two.

    Listening to music is a large hobby of mine, especially ambient music, but occasionally house when I'm in the mood for it.
    In addition to that, I like biking to work and reading. I'm reading two books at the moment - Foundation by Issac Asimov and Chasing the Scream by Johann Hari.
