Learned how to become a “home barista”. Instead of popping a pod in my Nespresso machine I grind my own beans and brew my own coffee fresh, every morning.
I learned to repair a carburator for a vintage motorcycle with my dad. I bought the bike with the carburator in a box for $300. I probably put around $500 more into it of which new tires cost around $200.
That was more than 3 years ago and still ride it today. I’ve done done some maintenance work myself, like changing the oil, brake pads and fluid, and other minor things.
Disciplined working from home. Some people seem incapable of it, either due to distraction or at the other end of the spectrum, overworking themselves.
I allow some flexibility for errands and appointments, but I start and finish at the same time every day and take my lunch at the same time.
I’m one of those who can’t. Temptation to nap is too strong. Also I have that procrastination issue where I’d rather be cleaning the floor with a toothbrush than do work, so it’s hard not to do housechores when I hit a wall in my day.
On top of that, I need more face-to-face socialization. I just do. I need to go somewhere that’s not my house every day or I spiral and it’s not pretty.
I learned approximately 100 ways to cheat in online exams or exercises, even if they make you share your screen or have camera enabled, which has been immensely useful to me for reasons I do not need to explain…
-i can go motorbiking on country curvy roads, without much traffic, and feel like im on a trackday
-low traffic calm streets
-sadly plaza people dont watch tv, but they go for a short walk to the hiking places, with their 5t SUVs to take a selfie to upload on facebook.
-our government (hungary) of course does not helps small businesses while hard times, but giving even more money to the dictator’s (orban’s) strawman (lőrinc mészáros), and spending billions on useless anti-snoring devices anti-snoring devices, and very expensive, but shitty and useless chinese covid vaccines.
The lockdown really gave us a look of how if we collectively tried to not ruin the planet, how much more fun it would be, it was so nice not to have a clogged nose every morning…
