+## Footnotes as Sidenotes for Obsidian
+
+I've recently switched to using
+`Editor > Display > Readable Line Length`
+and have been enjoying the change,
+however I'm left with a lot of real estate in the viewport.
+
+An unrelated problem,
+I really don't love using the reading view and find it difficult to recommend
+because it puts `[^n]` style footnotes at the bottom of the page.
+I use footnotes liberally to include extra context
+and information that interests me
+while still maintaining a strong central narrative
+which only includes what is strictly necessary to understand the subject.
+
+My favorite way to present such asides
+is in the margin, right next to the reference.[^1]
+While the [[obsidian]] core plugin Footnotes View
+can almost emulate the desired appearance,
+the text is redundant when in the editing view.
+
+[^1]: See [My hobby: running deranged surveys --- LessWrong](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/fQz6afpcZhdMdYzgE/my-hobby-running-deranged-surveys).
+
+No existing community plugin implements the desired behavior.
+Cornell Marginalia is close,
+but it uses new syntax rather than footnotes
+and is bloated, buggy, and not fully translated.
+Eventually I should take a crack at it.

+with application elsewhere as well.
+
+## Heating Designations vs. Temporary Assemblies
+
+Reiterating direction expressed [[2025-05-11]],
+we are to prefer length-based assemblies for equipment connections,
+preferring temp assemblies over heating designations.
+
+## "1/2in Conduit"
+
+> [!quote] Electrical.pdf, E2.11
+> PROVIDE EQUIPMENT WITH 1/2"C - 2#8 AWG & #10 GND.
+
+Josh repeated my understanding that this verbiage is common
+even when cable type wiring methods are allowed.
+Assuming the inclusion is deliberate,
+it could be interpreted in our favor as
+"if you choose to or must use conduit, use this size."
+
+We very rarely use 1/2in conduit, using 3/4in instead.
+the cost difference is quite small,
+especially when considering bulk savings.
