Right. How are your bathroom breaks going anyway? Plumbing all working well, I hope! Drinking enough water?

Right as chocolate rain most of the time but sometimes it is cloudy with a chance of meatballs.

Good job!

I kinda wish there was a separate news feed for these long, meandering but often interesting stories (I propose we call it hacker news after dark). over 3k words is kind of a big commitment for the kind of bathroom breaks I am normally reading hacker news on so wish the main feed was kept to sub 2 k word stories/news. The other problem also happens where I sit down to the kind of epic bathroom break where I could enj…

My request would be for a button which saves the article to a form which I can read on a kindle or remarkable at a good time, for example on the commute home.

If you use an ios device you can save webpages to Books directly from Safari. This creates a pdf that should be transferable to other e-reader devices.

I just tried it -- I couldn't figure out how to save directly, but I could save the page as a PDF to Files and then from Files share it to Books.

Note: if the page you are saving makes use of deferred loading of images you may need to scroll all the way down before starting this whole process.

Chicago has great alleyways. On my block, we have a few alleycats that keep it clear of rats. There's a troop of raccoons that come thru every once in a while looking fo food. A scrapper comes around every week or so to haul away big trash items in his truck. And there are a couple regular dumpster divers looking for cans. It's a really interesting ecosystem!
