  - I miss Carnivale. -- nm - LMS Dec 23, 02:30
- Why? -- nm - znufrii Dec 22, 20:29
- If they aren't going to recast Samantha, they need a new Samanthaish friend to have fun. The rest are all married. -- nm - jnine Dec 22, 18:56 2
  - nm -- nm* - flavorize Dec 22, 19:18
  - Should just recast the show with 20 somethings for HBO. -- nm - Remlik Dec 22, 19:14
- Coming soon to HBO Max: Anything You've Ever Watched: The Series. -- nm - David Dec 22, 18:54 3
  - In recent years on HBO, I really enjoyed "The Deuce" -- nm - MDH Dec 22, 19:06 1
    - I've skimmed through the first two seasons but not the last one. It's so hard to overlook Franco's presence. -- nm - David Dec 22, 19:09
  - They should reboot the Sopra-- oh, right. -- nm - Mop Dec 22, 18:55
- imo, Samantha made the show tolerable -- nm - crash davis Dec 22, 18:42 4
  - Even though you're a Charlotte, Crash. You've always been a Charlotte. -- nm - Diva🎅🏾 Dec 22, 19:04 1
    - You're right, but I can live vicariously through Samantha. -- nm - crash davis Dec 22, 19:05

I'm always making little notes and then losing the notepads. Has anyone here used Evernote? If so, what did you think? -- nm - crash davis Dec 22, 18:38 15
- I can't seem to get myself into a "note taking" mindset. If you use a Password Manager like LastPass, it also has a notes feature so you may already - kilbowl full of jelly 🎅 Dec 23, 05:47
- Do you use Gmail? Use Keep.Google.com. It's like mobile 3M post-it notes.. -- (link) - JaxSean Dec 22, 19:43 3

    - thanks! -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 04:34
- Do you just need a scratchpad? I’d use Simplenote. Evernote could be overkill and they randomly lock stuff behind premium tiers. -- nm - spamlet Dec 22, 18:56 4

      - We use iOS notes for that :) - spamlet Dec 22, 19:06 1
        
        yeah, I don't have anything that starts with an "i" -- nm - crash davis Dec 22, 19:08
- I found myself just using Notes already on my iOS. -- nm - Qale Dec 22, 18:51 1
  - Yeah if you’re iOS this is the right answer. It’s actually really good. -- nm - spamlet Dec 22, 18:56
- I use it for almost everything. It's great, with the one caveat that their pursuit to make it more usable for laypeople tends to get in my way. Heh. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 18:49 2
  - Ima laypeople! -- nm - crash davis Dec 22, 18:50 1
    - I'd like to be but haven't been in years -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 22, 19:10
