  • On Android it's Family link. You can:

    • make a schedule like "1h max mo-fr, 2h max sa-su"
    • add time or lock the device manually (that's our usual bargain point with kids - do stuff, get 30 mins)
    • lock some apps completely, or unlock to ignore all limits except nighttime (can be also set up)
  • We just bought a lavalamp. An oldschool-looking one, like at the op's picture.It's a great investment.
    As one of the main points, you have a measurable answer on a question "is this movie interesting?": the lamp stands near the tv, so if you fing yourself watching the lamp, not the movie, tou know the answer.
    The ultimate "better than Twilight" indicator!

  • Nope, chat only works. I am a person who lives like that (social contacts in messengers or IRL, no Facebook, no insta, no TikTok account).
    Me and my friend group are all over the world now, because we moved out of Russia (mostly because of war, but there are other cases). So we're all pros at staying in contact to not go crazy because everyone started their social life over. And I'm a part of several small-ish (20-80 people total, 5-30 active) group chat communities. In all of them, there are ongoing discussions, traditions like "friday selfie", and inside jokes/themes.
    In addition to that, I'm a part of some local group chat communities where I'm living now. It's mostly in Telegram, but there's also a big (400 people) Discord nerd/expat server), and a boardgame meetings group in WA.
    It absolutely can work. More than that, local online groups activities result in some RL meetings - going to bars, barbecuing, book clubs and such. When I was moving I was afraid we'll have no friends, but now it's too much, we have to make choices where to go (or if we're going at all)

  • we had a nightly Friday bike rides in my city, think making a 60 km circle with multiple stops from 00 to 9 a.m.
    I usually took 2-3 king-size snickers with me, because it's a sourse of carbs that doesn't take a lot of space and doesn't cost much (I'm looking at you, "fitness" bars)

  • I made a mistake once, and bought a textured linoleum with stones like that. It looked nice and natural, until I understood that if you drop something, or there's a puddle of oil or other stuff, it's super hard to notice that, so you eventually step on it
