Is this a reference to something?

I enjoy writing by hand, but I do look forward to a good e-ink device (Products like the remarkable have a subscription model and it's closed hardware and software, which is a big negative to me). Waiting to see how projects like PineNote evolve.

For now I just write on which ever notebook is closest to me. The act of writing is more important than actually storing information somewhere outside of my head.

I am continuously surprised that some people sleep under a single blanket. This is not a custom where I'm from. I wouldn't be able to relax!

This actually sounds like a good way to deal with it.

My package deliveries usually say something crazy like 'between 9 and 16' and... There goes the day.

It's the fact that it's not even relaxing. It's just there, in mild dread.

 

I have learned a lot about how it's needed, in particular for short growing seasons and to prevent some pests. Still, you would think I'm killing puppies or separating twins.

I have blackout curtains but somehow my brain isn't fooled and I've been sleeping very little as a result.

For me, unless it fits in the mailbox, you have to be ready to receive a package. I thought about it for days only to forget about it this morning when it arrived. Luckily I was at home.

It's definitely a convenience if you're already a driver. But there's no reason to get one just for identification purposes.

I don't know where op is from, but at least in Sweden you just get a "national ID". Same shape as a driver's license, works all over the EU, none of the pesky driving and the passport stays safely at home until it's time to travel out of the EU.

I'm 36 in Sweden. I never got one, I've never needed it. Public transport and an electric bike have worked perfectly. I don't like the idea of driving. Owning a car is expensive and stressful. I also have ADHD.

I never 'got' twitter. I've created about 3 accounts over the years only to leave them behind. It's just not for me. I'm also a long-winded person, definitely not an "x characters" person.

I made a mastodon a couple of years ago, I figured it would go the same way. But it didn't. I found a couple of sweet people that made multilingual puns and liked animals. They had fun friends. The little community grew from there. Now I'm a regular user. When I post, I'm mostly sharing things to "my friends", not screaming into the wind. Most of this little network is on separate instances each too.
