Indeed. Insects, then fish, then everything else, per https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/humans-make-110000...

lunchmoney, recommended in another comment, ticks a lot of boxes for me and supports uploading downloaded transactions.

I'd use an website/app that supports my preferred data ingestion process -- periodically manually downloading my bank & credit transactions (supporting at least one of: csv, qif, a…

I don't know what qualifies as not trying hard enough, but when I meet someone, I expect I'll be able to play back salient chunks of content (precise wording, intonation, clear vis…

Speaking of USPS knowing what they're doing, their address normalization replaces our city name with the broader "Minneapolis," but multiple delivery services use that normalizatio…

I grew up in sheltered outer suburbs where it's hard for kids to get around on their own, and older kids turn to some nonproductive amusements -- was surprised to hear a friend tel…

Perhaps reading Super Freakonomics? Rehashed here: https://freakonomics.com/2011/12/28/the-perils-of-drunk-walk... Google will provide people who don't like assumptions made in Lev…

This is one of my favorites. They played it for us when I was at https://www.recurse.com . I half appreciated it then, but it's gotten better with repeat viewings.

We must have started from the same source. I've since added displaying message bodies by default, but similar otherwise: lg = log --graph --date=relative --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%C…
