I'm able to fall asleep during an MRI scan.

Coworker/friend/loved one: "So why is XYZ happening?"

Brain: Aww yiss. I will anticipate all possible questions and forks in the conversation, say it all, thus saving everyone time.

Brain: Wait. Remember how you've been trying to keep it brief? Try that now.

Me: "Well, it was 8:30am after all."

Coworker/friend/loved one: "Er ... I'm sorry what now?"

Brain: They took the bait. THIS IS YOUR TIME TO SHINE

Me, 5 mins later: "... yeah so anyway, what was the question again?"

Let's not be hasty.

Surely free-range, organic, gluten-free sand would be the bestest source material ever.

You just reminded me. My dad used to say "Don't take any wooden nickels!" Had to get him to explain this, the first time he said it to me.

Don't think he knows about second charge, Pip.

Wild. I wouldn't have made it there without the help from helpful folks like yourself.

When I searched DDG in "saloon" just now, the extracted summary was this:

A place where alcoholic drinks are sold and drunk; a tavern. A large room or hall for receptions, public entertainment, or exhibitions. The officers' dining and social room on a cargo ship.

When I searched on "regular saloon" I get this as the first hit:

I wouldn't have thought to search on "saloon car" as others have suggested.

Okay that's actually pretty cool, thanks.

Just now checked with my Kiwi wife. She's filling me in now with examples.

What's up with the disembodied hand tucked up high on the right of that tall heap of grass?

Whoops, should have noticed your endorsement of syncthing before posting a comment mentioning this.

While Obsidian does save to individual files, the Markdown they use seems to be a superset of everyday Markdown. Eg, being able to use callouts (eg, Note, Warning, Info, etc) and embedded linking of notes.

The automatic backlinks are fantastic. And I've discovered that if I rename a note, all links to that note get updated as well. So no need to worry about orphaning pages.

I've added a handful of plugins as well. Off the top of my head, one is a dynamic table of contents (for that page), another helps to compose/edit Markdown tables.

Also a big fan of Obsidian!

For syncing, one option is to use syncthing.

I know someone (whose geek creds are admittedly well beyond mine) who is also a fan. He uses GitHub to sync his notes.
