labor and leisure are usually modeled as distinct and exclusive uses of time. for some people in some jobs, labor and leisure are not exclusive and may not even be distinct. these facts have generated much confusion and are widely regarded as mistakes, but here we are
i missed the timing on the usage reset and it expired before i could use it

compared to opus, sol is extremely... idk, neurotic? won't stop bikeshedding and overengineering, adds like a dozen gates that don't need to be there. interesting
