We are in the same boat. Wouldn't say I made it or got enough cash. But we are able to choose what we want to do. Turns out living a bit more simple / free is a big part of that. Living in a small forrest, closest neighbor is 10m walking, sleeping outside when we can, doing sideprojects involving energy / waterworks / woodworking. At the moment and making the house mouseproof.

For myself I still want things, but I contain myself more? I dont want to have to travel to see a tourist attractor. Or search for connections that are far away. Just see what is here already and work with that. No need to grasp so much.

Bruno was the best of all the voices imo.

Do you still use it?

What servers are you on? I remember hours, days of playing on it, 10 years ago :) But didnt know it was still active!

Looks nice,

- What are your plans to expand the amount of items?

- What do you think about the option to add your own build items, and maybe share them across users?

Read the FAQ or the UAQ for explanations.
That it can be recycled without "waste" doesnt mean its worthwhile. Making glass costs a large amount of energy. As far I know, when plastic is recycled, it is better for the environment than using glass.

Either press the word combinations, ctrl+b etc, or select the text you want bold and there will be a popup.

You`re limited on the selection though, thats kinda a bummer. In my opinion making a selection and allowing a few operations, like bold, delete, is worth it.

Re:Web Design 3.0: When Your Web Design Matters on Tuesday March 05, 2019 @03:50PM (#19314103)
Interesting, I`m thinkning in another direction.

With every step into makeing things easier, you lose something. With neural networks, we cant see how or why. With electronic music. the button that lets an orchestra play with one push, makes it more difficult to change one instrument. For webdesign / development: with tools that help you, it is harder to get things really how you want.

I notice this personally as well as coding as with music and find myself, not going back to the basics, but wanting to know more about it so it gives speed with using tools, while still being able to adjust the details.

I believe that there is value in mastering your skills and tools, and that that will you make you a better ... I dont think it has anything to do with a new generation or condifence?

Agreed, Fountainhead was the first book I read, thouroughly enjoyed it. Atlas Shrugged, I was looking forward to bury myself in it, but it was hard to finish.
Siddharta - Herman Hesse

Sometimes when I feel a bit sad I remind myself to read a few chapters. It reminds me what I find important in life. What I can ask from myself and from other. It gives me joy in a good way.

Its not logical, when making a new post, to get all the content of all the previous posts as starting point.
