Let’s not be hasty.
Surely free-range, organic, gluten-free sand would be the bestest source material ever.

You just reminded me. My dad used to say “Don’t take any wooden nickels!” Had to get him to explain this, the first time he said it to me.
Wild. I wouldn’t have made it there without the help from helpful folks like yourself.
When I searched DDG in “saloon” just now, the extracted summary was this:
A place where alcoholic drinks are sold and drunk; a tavern. A large room or hall for receptions, public entertainment, or exhibitions. The officers’ dining and social room on a cargo ship.
When I searched on “regular saloon” I get this as the first hit:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedan_(automobile)
I wouldn’t have thought to search on “saloon car” as others have suggested.
Okay that’s actually pretty cool, thanks.
Just now checked with my Kiwi wife. She’s filling me in now with examples.
A person is 11% more likely to die in a crash inside an SUV than a regular saloon.
Was “sedan” meant here and not “saloon”?
Try as I might, I can’t think of why anyone would want to compare SUV’s to a western drinking establishment of a bygone era. Although I do see how being in a saloon at the wrong time would have also come with it’s own deadly risks.
What’s up with the disembodied hand tucked up high on the right of that tall heap of grass?
Whoops, should have noticed your endorsement of syncthing before posting a comment mentioning this.
While Obsidian does save to individual files, the Markdown they use seems to be a superset of everyday Markdown. Eg, being able to use callouts (eg, Note, Warning, Info, etc) and embedded linking of notes.
The automatic backlinks are fantastic. And I’ve discovered that if I rename a note, all links to that note get updated as well. So no need to worry about orphaning pages.
I’ve added a handful of plugins as well. Off the top of my head, one is a dynamic table of contents (for that page), another helps to compose/edit Markdown tables.
Also a big fan of Obsidian!
For syncing, one option is to use syncthing.
I know someone (whose geek creds are admittedly well beyond mine) who is also a fan. He uses GitHub to sync his notes.
You piqued my curiosity. Has to go check into these.
Shortest one is 22"?
It might depends on the AI.
I can’t speak for Bard, but ChatGPT’s data isn’t any more recent than 2021. As it often reminds me.
Classic :D
In case there’s anyone on this planet who has yet to see this commercial:
Downloaded for future reference, thanks
OT, but I die a little inside when I see some writing in a book. I’m sure in this case it was probably a student wanting to highlight, but still.
TBH for many years it’s felt like most accounts (or at least the ones that bubbled up into my feed) were angry people venting about whatever. Like, the angrier they were, the more engagement they were hoping for. That was a surefire way for me to at least move on to someone else, or to just close the app. Don’t need anyone harshing my mellow. The shouty people can go find a wall to yell at.
I barely get on these days. And I don’t doubt that it’s gotten worse.
Posting this from S4L right now :)
Just noticed the notification about 15 mins ago.
Through the marketplace, where there are watermelon stands, chickens in crates, and 2 men carrying a large pane of glass back and forth.

I’m able to fall asleep during an MRI scan.
