Idiomdrottning demonstrates a new and often cleaner way to solve most systems problems. The system as a whole is likely to feel tantalizingly familiar to culture users but at the same time quite foreign.

[CW: Digger opinion] I thought Digger was a very good movie. 👍🏻 I didn’t enjoy every performance and every part but the movie had enough great things to make me like it.

Yeah, yeah, you can subtract seven from fifteen normally and just figure out that fifteen minus seven is eight. But you can also take the tens-complement to seven (which is three) and add that to the last digit which is five and that makes eight. It works for all single-digit numbers subtracted […]

[Magic] Put in twenty “mega-glue” cards that are each good in exactly four archetypes each (for example five per color and the card should be good in all four archetypes of that color and not good for other archetypes). Then for each of the 45 possible pairs-of-two-archetypes, put in one card […]

Most people’s longhand is like ten times slower than a good typist. It’s not fair or practical to just tell them to go paper-based. Maybe you can go paper for one day just to get an overview of the workflow and then bring it back to digital if you want. idiomdrottning.org/longhand

Yes, there is a tension between how in minimalism we want less physical stuff whereas how in the, uh, “intentional tech” movement there’s this tendency to accrue a bunch of single-use items. A minimalist might ask “why should I need a shelf full of paper books, a computer, a game console, a […]

It’s been the goal of the rich-gets-richer party for hundreds of years to keep the breadline long, cold, and uncomfortable. That is great for them because that means buying labor (“employing workers”) is a buyer’s market where you get the pick of the litter and can keep prices (“salaries”) down […]

After seeing distressing news on TV, Captain America yelled out "The Walkers?!? Ma and Pa!! Those buzzards nabbed my Ma and Pa!!" and he immediately picked up thephone to call his commissioner. "Commissioner? This is Captain– no, no we haven't. Something important's come up, sir, I need to take some time off. You see my parents have been– What's that?" and he grnched the phone receiver to pieces with a frustrated yell of "Gaah!!"

Battle Star put out his hands in a calming gesture and asked him "He- he won't let you take off, I take it!" and Cap replied "Doesn't matter. I'm going anyway!"

All in a sequence of five comics panels from Captain America #345 by Gruenwald and Dwyer.
