No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

The notebook (A6) would always bend when I tried to bring it with me unless I put it in my bag, which is tedious to bring out in short notice

I splurged on a hardcover notebook. I like to write in bed and on-the-go so hardcover is the only option that really works for me.

I've had this for ten years. Don't take many notes right enough!

Assuming you talk about a paper-ringbook-type of thing to write on with a pen, you could buy the ones where the last page is made of cardboard to prevent bending. These sizes also come as books, hardcover thing with blank pages inside, hard to bend.

If we talk about an electronic device, just please dont sit on it ;)

It kind of depends on application?

I carry a small (4”?) “field” note book for jotting things down. They fit breast pockets easily, if that gives you an idea of size.

If it’s just personal notes, or something, those work fine, they also make medium size (“stenno” pads) that are about half the size of an A6.

Composite notebooks are great too, though they’re not quite A6 and finding them unlined is a chore (if your note taking frequently includes sketches).

Most not-dirt-cheap stenos will either simply tolerate bending or have enough on it that it doesn’t bend too easily.

I just don't mind if it gets bent. That's a pretty natural way for a notebook to be.

[–] frankPodmore@slrpnk.net 5 points 10 months ago

I eventually just gave up and started buying expensive notebooks. The cheap ones always fell apart before I finished them, so at least this way I get to the end!

[–] GreyShuck@feddit.uk 5 points 10 months ago

Use Pritt or a rubber band or something to fix a 3mm A6 plastic or plywood sheet to the back of the notebook?

Or, you can buy A6 clipboards.

Put it in the chest pocket of your jacket, that way it stays flat.

i'd look for a small folio type case. something durable, maybe leather-ish.
