You're right of course.

Like the other commenter said for this specific problem you'd use a spreadsheet.

It's just an example though and there are others, like maybe removing url encoding from a string or something.

Again this can be done in some other tool without much fuss, but the versatility offered by notepad will be useful for a lot of people.

I wouldn't know because I've never mentioned it to anyone.

I think the idea is that you can use it for reformatting small sets of data I guess.

"make all the dates in this CSV iso-8601"

The only reason things burn up when they enter the atmosphere is because they're moving so fast that the friction from the air generates too much heat.

So yes, if you slow yourself down enough then you could just float down like a feather in the wind.

I have no idea how fast is too fast.

The answer to this depends on how much the magic device with the oxygen weighs.

Also just going to set aside anything to do with sky diving and space suits and having friends and everything else that I don't know anything about.

I only know this from playing Simple Rockets on android but basically you direct your thrust in the direction you're moving in order to reduce your velocity, and you'll fall down to earth.

Think of an orbit as the balance between falling towards earth and zipping past earth. If you fly past too fast then you just fly past and maybe the gravity pulls you a bit but not much. If you fly past too slow the gravity pulls you down to earth and you crash. If you fly past at the same speed you fall towards earth the two directions balance out and you end up just spinning around earth.

Therefore, If you're in a stable orbit on the space station, and then you slow down, you'll start to fall down towards it instead of "falling" around it in an orbit.

If you only slow down a little bit you'll start moving towards Earth but you'll be moving way too fast for an unshielded human to enter the atmosphere without burning up.

You'd have to slow yourself down, by directing thrust towards the horizon you're headed towards, enough so that you're not going fast enough to burn up.

Whether or not you can slow down enough, quickly enough, depends on how much thrust your magic device can provide and how much that device makes you weigh.

I don't think that's clear by any means.

They're implementing the machinery for authoritarian control.

Yeah. Like 30 minutes or something. Why would I want to do that?

Yeah I was reading something about this.

The USA was big into eugenics and the Nazis kinda got the idea from them. There was a lot of support for eugenics in the USA in the first half of the 20th century. Sterilisations et cetera.

I don't even see the code. All I see is heading, emphasis, dot-points ...

I just don't see the point of obsidian et al.

Just use a directory structure and save markdown files in it.

There are many apps that are great editors for this structure on every platform. IDK exactly what obsidian does but many editors have zettelkasten (fancy cross links) functionality, just no fancy graph.

Ghostty + helix is the sexxy RN.

Hol up. Are notes stored in files in a directory structure or a single file? Just that you said "the file" so I'm wondering.

If so, that's lock in.

That's the whole point of markdown lmfao.
