My small Bluetti EB70 that lets me take hot showers when Russians launch rockets at our infrastructure and disconnect whole cities from the grid.
Electrical engineers that keep fixing the grid so that my Bluetti can charge from time to time.
A friend with Starlink who's happy to share internet. Simple things!
This resonates. I took a 1-year sabbatical after 12 years in the tech industry. I kept a big text file with all the things I wanted to do once I had the time. When I finally did, I realized I only wanted to do one thing from that list (of 30+ items). The rest sounded good on paper, but I never had the motivation to do them. This was a harsh realization, but now when I think "I wish I had time to...", I know it's an illusion. We tend to make time for what we really want. Overall, it was useful to realize.
