Postcards, while travelling, are one of the very few instances when I write by hand, these days.
I started about 20 years ago, I most usually only write the address and a smiley — the old school analogue medium is most of the message (that I take the time to pick a postcard, which then has to travel physically to reach the distance to its target).
where can you buy them? not at the post office, grocery store, nor the Hallmark near me. the cheap 19 cent postcard stamps also cannot be bought anymore.
I'm one of those improbable folks not based in US. While a tad more difficult to get by these days, I've eventually most always managed to find postcards. All post offices sell stamps (excluding the few that only manage parcels).
Also, any postcard sized piece of cardboard that bears a stamp qualifies as a travel worthy postcard – once I did just that, for the fun of it, and it worked. I've once received a stamp beer coaster.
PS. Another fun game is to see what's the most cryptical, vague postal address that does the job. See:
many of the gas stations, I think cracker barrel, and many other tourist knick knack stores around my (tourist heavy) city have them.. of course printing your own is not hard these days.
You can also use a normal stamp, but the postcard stamp saves you 12 cents per postcard. Up to you how much you care; I'll just use whichever design I like better.
This autumn I have visited the Lavardens Castle which had an exhibition on D'Artagnan. Stole the English version of the explanations (QR codes, hosted incognito on their website)
Is there an added health or digestive benefit of fully soaking the oats, overnight or microwaved? Or is it just a matter of taste?
I just add some hot water and milk (indeed I'm not sure if what I have are plain or instant oats)
Plain oats is a pain in the ass to cook. It takes real long and requires constant vigilance. Instant oats just needs some boiling water and 30 seconds in the microwave.
I might be wrong, but I do think non-instant oats is more nutritious.
But to answer your question, it's a combo of laziness and taking care of future me. Nothing beats opening the fridge in the morning, groggy AF, and finding delish breakfast ready to go, and it's dirt easy to prepare with no pots to clean afterwards.
I'm a bit confused on how this works, besides using the search each time I need to launch an app. Could I have more shortcuts in the home screen, or just what I pin as favourite apps?
And am I limited to only one space/desktop, normally if I swipe right, I get to the next desktop where I have other apps. So I can launch an app from the 3rd desktop with 2 swipes and a press. Now, swiping right I get the full list of apps where I'd need to search.
I couldn't find answers to this in the documentation
IMO the whole point of KISS is to _not_ have desktops and access all of your apps via search. If I want to open my Hacker News app, I open the search, press "h" and click the first app. All apps I use frequently naturally float to the top of my history list and can be accessed with 1, or at most 2 characters in search.
Where this really shines is chat apps -- all of your chats get their own "activities" which can be searched as well, so if I want to open Discord DMs for someone, I can search their username and one of the options is the Discord DM activity for them.
Yes, this is a couple more taps than having desktops but it's 100% dynamic (never have to manage layout) and almost eliminates the chance of getting distracted when opening my home screen.
To add on to this, KISS also sorts apps/activities based on how frequently you select them, so it "learns" what you use most commonly. For example, if I type "f", the first app that comes up is F-Droid, because that's the app that matches that I use most frequently.
There is a single row of apps that can be favorited on the bottom row of the screen for quick access. There is also a search bar that searches across apps, some direct app actions (like Firefox: New Tab), contacts, and some settings. The search bar might be able to pass the query to the default browser, but
There is not another "desktop" that can be swiped to right and left. Widgets can be added, if desired.
thankful for all the answers, I'll give it a try for a while to 'learn' me and see if I can lean into the workflow.
Optimistically speaking, the only drawback would then be I only get one screen/desktop for adding widgets – which, I guess, might be a reasonable trade-off.
Huh, can one natively edit Markdown in Google Docs? This would be one of my main requests for gDocs (as a long time NvAlt/NvUltra daily driver), but how?
