1a5b2ab3b0 Add step to my finances playbook
This is a helpful reminder to ensure that the exchange rate is always
fresh. Ideally I could use Google Sheets formulae to take a snapshot of the
GBP:USD exchange rate *at a point in time*, but I haven't set that up yet. Maybe
it'd look something like:

```pseudocode
=GOOGLEFINANCE("GBP:USD", "September 1, 2020")
```

I'll have to look into this.

0c71fc9d1d Drop support for dir-locals.nix, <nixpkgs>, etc.
In the spirit of Marie Kondo, I'm tidying up!

TL;DR:
- Prefer .envrc `use_nix` and delete all dir-locals.nix files
- Remove ~all references to <nixpkgs>, <unstable>, <depot> and prefer
  referencing each with briefcase.third_party.{pkgs,unstable,depot}
- Delete nixBufferFromShell function since I was only using that in
  dir-locals.nix files

d0c1645c16 Add two steps to finances playbook
I needed to add the first step since I dipped into my Emergency fund last month
to pay for someone to prepare my US tax return. I added the other step as a
reminder.

c6106f7884 Create //playbooks
I'm particularly excited about this idea. As I was reading Graham's "Erase your
darlings" blog post, I had an idea: I should have playbooks at the root of my
monorepo.

I can have playbooks for the following:
- How to install NixOS
- How to build GCR images from Nix expressions
- A collection of miscellaneous shell commands (e.g. "how to kill a process by name")
- What series of steps should I follow when I receive a paycheck

I already keep README's at the root of each package, which I think is where many
of these instructions belong. Other tutorials that I write for myself that do
not belong to any package can go in //playbooks. I also will host my personal
habits in //playbooks since habits are a bit like playbooks for life. Let's see
how this idea ages as the caffeine wears off...
