    I have two rules: don't buy individual stocks, don't time the market. I also don't think I know anything that the market at large doesn't know.

    Yes! I have been getting into genealogy and local history and it's such a rewarding hobby. Would love to turn that into some sort of archive job.

    New deadlift PR today, 170 kg (375 lbs) at a bodyweight of 80.8 kg (178 lbs). Pretty pleased with this. I can hear the four plates calling my name.

    I finished Satantango the other day, so pinging /u/plutonic. I definitely didn't feel as strongly about the ending as you did, haha. I knew in advance about Krasznahorkai's long and meandering sentences, but tbh I did not struggle a lot with them. Still a dense book though. Great writing.

    For tasks I use Apple's Reminders. It integrates with the Calendar app, so that's great. For all sorts of note-taking, including things like grocery lists, I use Bear. Links are just bookmarked.

    Early 40s and I knew from family pictures that it was always going to happen. It's still a bit jarring when you see that bald spot on top of your head for the first time. Since my hair has always been relatively thin, I don't feel too bad about it honestly.

    And like @BeardyHat says, I kind of like the feeling that I'm shairing (sorry) this with my father, grandfather and great-grandfather.
