Yup. Basing the UI around stacks of content has made putting new bits of metadata in surprisingly easy.

OTOH further thought on the renaming is that it sounds like we went from “cow piss” to “cow pickle”. Moving up the production chain. 🙈

Interesting name history:

The name Calpis was constructed as a portmanteau, by combining cal from calcium and pis from Sanskrit sarpiṣ (/s̪əɽpiʂ/), meaning butter[3]. Primarily in North America, the name Calpis is changed to Calpico with カルピス in katakana either below or on the reverse side of the packaging.

“Pour a Glass of Calcium Butter”

Also a sensible regional renaming. ;)

Yes, it’s clear from observed behavior that Internet == Facebook || Instagram. 😭

In the event I use some other apps in that genre that you might not have run across:

For plaintext on iPhone, I tend to use Working Copy, iVim, or Textor.

Drafts 4 still serves for random stuff where I don’t want to think about what to name the file. Editorial I soured on after it lost some work with its Dropbox sync.

And Apple Notes is actually surprisingly capable these days; if Drafts 4 dies, I’ll probably switch to it.

I have joked about clicker training. (The marble jar reward counter is basically the same thing and works great.)

Threats, hitting, or vandalism gets them a time out. One minute for the two year old, two minutes for the five year old.

For time out, everyone just leaves and closes themselves away from the timed-out kid and ignores them. After timer is up, when they’ve been calm for say 10 seconds, come out and move on with things. Not a time to talk it over. Remind why they were in time out, and on to the next thing.

They do not like time out. It is not a frequent need. More effective is praising good behavior whenever performed. Recommend The Kazdin Method for further reading.

Presently, the answer I like for theodicy is “because the gods are many and neither omnipotent nor omniscient”. I think Greer’s A World Full of Gods makes for interesting reading on this.
