I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn’t work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.
Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!
It went from stupid purchase to something I’d gladly replace if it broke.
I’ve used Emacs off and on a few times over the years, and know some people who use it daily. I’ve never seen it compared to Twitter.
Sure, I’m a sociology student, not a developer. We compare everything to anything – Jesus to Hitler among other examples.
