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:

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).

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)

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.

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

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?
