🚨

When I had trouble sleeping, I would have even more trouble sleeping because I was upset I wasn’t sleeping. Then I read somewhere that just lying there with your eyes closed and not moving was like 80-90% as effective as actual sleep.

I didn’t bother to check if that was true, but it did allow me to let go of worrying whether I was sleeping. And that allowed me to actually fall asleep.

Christmas morning at grandparents when everyone was done opening presents sitting alone in a corner building a Lego set with no worries about responsibilities or time constraints.

It’s a one-time payment for VueScan (https://www.hamrick.com/). It’s been around a long time but still actively developed. It’s Windows, MacOS, and Linux.

Aw, man, I see now it’s no longer a lifetime-payment option. I have a license from ages ago, so I guess I was grandfathered in.

It does say you don’t need a subscription. Your one-time payment covers one year of updates. So I guess if you’re happy with the features at the end of the year, you can just stick with that. Maybe do another year if some killer feature is added.

It would be awesome if you posted them using a gallery server software like Piwigo. It allows annotations.

You should scan them with a flatbed scanner. That way even if the originals are ever lost, there’s a nice digital copy. VueScan is great software to use with almost any scanner.

All sources have biases. Just find out what each sources’ biases are, and you should be okay.

Did you say “Jesus sex”?

I’m worried that would put this skill over in the useful category.

I can hold a marker with my toes and write with it.
