    I look forward to the next couple posts in this series: The Leaky Faucet Test and The Clogged Toilet Test.

    If you're in the US, and can afford it, I think direct primary care is the way to go.

    Great question. Something like you suggest could help. I definitely think it's possible to do better, because some of the apps have a lot fewer fake profiles/scammers compared to s…

    Have you looked at the RAZ Memory Cell Phone? I've been considering that for my mom, who also has early stage dementia.

    On the other hand, I have a quite positive opinion of Substack given the articles I read there, and I know I'm not alone. I don't like Twitter though, so I don't really care about …

    That's good to know. I'm hoping those conditions don't come back here for awhile. Getting into spring, I could see more people start looking again, with some pent-up demand not met…

    I agree that the attitude that doing real work is "low class" is disgusting. I also think the attitude that paying someone to fix your car "is disgraceful" is disgusting.

    I loved Grimrock. Have there been any similar games of comparable quality released since Legend of Grimrock 2 in 2014? I haven't found any that I could get into.
