Awesome! I don't know if it'll work for you, but I often have to unload thoughts into it and then remind myself that I won't be able to truly close the threads well until I give myself some space.

I love the Bullet Journal Method for this. It's based on the idea of unloading those sorts of "open thread" thoughts and coming back to them when you're ready.
While a lot of the math is beyond me, there's been enough math and proofs in the MIT lectures that I feel I at least have a suitable understanding for a layman.
I've started watching MIT open courseware lectures on that topic.
Breaking news: memestonk techbro company shuts down pointless, hype-based product no one wants to free up computer for pointless, hype-based product no one wants.
What if tomorrow you woke up with only what you'd been grateful for today?

I'll hold my laughter until the board fires him and uses the AI instead.
Ah, Minnesota winters. The quiet, frigid air, the sparkling snow, the wrens frozen solid to their tree branches.
I jest, but it really is one of the reasons I moved to this state. Nonetheless, glad that it's warming up a bit. Hello, mud season!
(And yes, I'm back.)

Close second: "Dear Dummies: A cease-fire means that firing ceases." -Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda), "M*A*S*H"
"I really appreciate the way you know when to reaffirm my faith in your basic insanity." -Roy DeSoto (Kevin Tighe), "Emergency!"
One of my absolute favorite lines in television history.
Oh, I agree, it just seems match bears mentioning in the article.
This feels out of date considering we've had match statements in Python for a few years now. They may not be the exact same thing, as they don't utilize jump tables, but they're syntactically similar enough.

How was the soup?
My Facebook feed is mostly AI slop photo galleries of “French Country Cottages” with hundreds of comments “So beautiful!”
But last night was the first time I caught bad AI in a setup for an otherwise functional recipe. It was subtle and confusing. Too nonsensical to be a typo. AI doesn’t grok food.
Minnesota, like the rest of the northeastern and north-central North America, has eight seasons: spring, summer, sauna, autumn, stick, winter, arctic, and mud.
Stacked linx...would that make this a navigation menu?
FedEx: Failing Every Delivery EXpertly.
My "next day" delivery package for work was supposed to be delivered by 12:20pm. Then by 8pm, guaranteed. It's now 9:38pm, and the tracking says by "end of day". Signature required. I ain't staying up until midnight!
What, you mean you aren't keen on hanging out in Uncanny Valley High's empty gymnasium?
Excuse me while I go blow chunks.
Yes, but did you learn from them? (Also, is it true they killed off the stupid owl?)
I've had good experiences with docuseal.co
Nah, it has to be a white background too. Prominent black anything makes them nervous. 😂
Learned a new word today: obtundent.
