*laughs in over 200 open tabs*

Only 25? Chrome would be ecstatic if it were only 25 I was asking to open. I'm currently being exceptionally restrained at only a little over 10 times that.

Sam be happy it’s only 25. I think I’m in the 60s

Sam, I currently have 1497 tabs saved in my OneTab extension (and will likely add at least another half dozen by the end of the night). Plus another 70 open on my phone. And another 70+ on an old phone that I keep by my bed for light browsing.

Look I realize I was just telling Chrome not to judge me and I want you to understand I say this with love in my heart, but how do you guys live. This is like the time I saw my mother’s gmail account had 25,000 messages in the inbox. 

Actually I am aware I am an outlier. During the week I have about 20 tabs pinned across three browsers, and those are the stuff I use daily -- my calendar file, gmail, tumblr, work email and some work databases, some covid tracking sites, and my SMS webfeed. I also have maybe a handful of open tabs in each that are waiting for me to read or pay attention to them somehow. 

But at the end of every week, I empty out any open tabs. If I can’t bring myself to read something, it’s not going to get  better if I wait, so either I read it or I close it (this is how I purged my library of every book I hadn’t read -- I made one giant pile and if I didn’t want to read the book on top, I sold it until I reached a book I did want to read). I watch a video or I save it to my “watch later” list on youtube for some night I’m down a youtube hole. For my home computer, I do the same thing every Sunday night before I run my weekly backup.

what on earth are you opening in 25 tabs all at once?

I have two files on my bookmark bar called “Daily” and “Monday” -- they’re groups of bookmarks that I open every morning and review and then close, or for the Monday file, that I open once weekly. Daily is a mixture of news sites, “stuff I want to buy but it’s sold out but if I check daily I’ll get another chance”, and one-off sites like mlb.com, an astrologer I check, my Robinhood portfolio, and one or two games I like to play as a buffer between finishing reading and starting work. 

no i purposefully did not look.

If you wouldn’t mind Sam, remind me what you got for breakfast again?

I really like the fact that you then actually threw knives at people's heads.

Currently, KM has shifted to AFTER TWR.  I’ve made some changes to Lasan’s background, which is why the Lasan tree is still in TWR.  I understand that it looks like a continuity error, but I promise it’s not.  :)  I have a plan for it.

Keaton is mentioned as a past Warden in an earlier draft, I believe.  Or maybe even in the current draft I have posted, but it’ll be removed when I get to it in my editing!
