Ah yes, this task fails hard at the xkcd.com/627/ tactic of "Find a menu item or button that looks related to what you want to do..."

What do I want to do? "turn off my computer" What button do I press? "start"

Interesting how different people's brains work. I personally cannot mentally parse a month-based calendar - the distribution of weeks and weekends is far too variable. I print one of these in A3 every year [0] - easy to see at a glance how many weekends are booked up, any gaps where you need to plan something to look forward to, how many weeks of work you can slot in before a particular commitment, etc. Interesting I've never found the same concept anywhere else.

Calendarpedia offers loads of options which are great for printing. I always print an A3 "rolling" format for the current year, which I haven't seen anywhere else - lets you see all your weeks and weekends at a glance.

You can do "see only current branch" with the little filter icon when you hover next to a branch. Although I do find myself getting lost amongst branches more easily compared to Sourcetree, I think there's some difference in how filters are combined that isn't ideal (but I can't remember specifics)

There are commonly used terms for different types of empathy[1] which makes these conversations a lot easier. People often generalise, or misinterpret a lower level of one type of empathy for another - for example, some autistic individuals have lower cognitive empathy but heightened levels of affective empathy. The definition in this blogpost focuses entirely on cognitive empathy, but I bet the people telling them to be "more empathetic" were talking more about compassionate empathy.

does anyone know of recent TTS options that let you specify IPA rather than written words? Azure lets you do this, but something local (and better than existing OS voices) would be great for my project.
