Great little tool!

I use it to selectively proxy Firefox tabs using multi-account containers to a home router that speaks Wireguard (but no application-layer proxying protocol or SSH).

I was pondering using Chicago as default font, but it is pretty 'typecast' (no pun intended, this time ;-)) -- Charcoal (that was used in System 8.x onward) is a lot less 'known' and also, I think, a significant improvement...

But it is actually pretty easy to switch to Chicago in the library -- apart from the clone you mention, there is also a 'plain' TTF version of the original Chicago floating around...

"Terence’s pivotal, existential crisis came abruptly, some time in ’88 or ’89. Everything that happened after that event was fallout. I don’t know exactly when it happened, and I don’t know exactly what happened; I am piecing it together from what Kat [his wife at the time] has told me, and she has volunteered few details, and I am reluctant to probe.

It happened when they were living for a time on the big island, and it was a mushroom trip they shared that was absolutely terrifying for Terence. It was terrifying because, for some reason, the mushroom turned on him. The gentle, wise, humorous mushroom spirit that he had come to know and trust as an ally and teacher ripped back the facade to reveal an abyss of utter existential despair. Terence kept saying, so Kat told me, that it was “a lack of all meaning, a lack of all meaning.” And this induced panic in Terence, and probably, I speculate, a feeling he was going mad. He couldn’t deal with it. Kat’s efforts to reassure him were fruitless. After that experience, he never again took mushrooms, and he took other psychedelics, such as DMT and ayahuasca, only on rare occasions and with great reluctance.

Whatever the specific content of the psychedelic experience might have been that triggered the cognitive collapse of Terence’s worldview and precipitated his existential crisis, what was most remarkable was that he did not see it coming. He did not see it coming."

When you look at elements' abundance in Earth's crust lithium is about 50% more common than lead, but we mine 268 times more lead every year.

We just weren't looking very hard to find lithium compared to lead till very recently.

That 2004-2007 period is really quite incredible from the perspective of Steve Jobs. To have that many balls up in the air simultaneously and getting every decision, even in hindsight, correct while raising children and recovering from his pancreatic cancer diagnosis scare. On top of that he was under undoubtedly intense pressure from internal feuds, external competitors (Motorola), buyout negotiations (Disney), suppliers (Foxconn) and the telecom industry (AT&T).

This was a man at the peak of his life.

Slight aside...today I received a pdf that was 90 degrees from being correct on screen in Adobe reader, and I clicked on the 'rotate' button to find that Adobe has made this a subscription feature!
