If you must dual boot, have totally separate hard drives, and the choosing between Linux and Windows should be done in the UEFI boot menu, not GRUB menu. Windows can render Linux unbootable otherwise, requiring a rather complicated rescue. Windows would ideally not have any chance to see the Linux hard drive while booted.
An external SATA SSD in a USB enclosure is cheap these days.

Always be pruning away any objects you don't immediately need that day, putting them away.

Always leave at least one square foot of empty space on any countertop, desktop, table, etc, so that you have somewhere to put things down upon returning from a trip out of the house.

The Early Buddhist Texts, which explain the very frugal, minimal lifestyles of Buddhist monks. They have few possessions, and share communal facilities - which is what monasteries are.

 

I have 3 which I use every day for something or other which is useful - and it's nothing to do with mountain climbing. It's always about creatively hanging bulky objects from the most doggone of places

 

YouTube is currently running what it describes as a "small experiment globally," warning users to toggle off their ad blockers and avoid being limited to only three video views.

An overburdened-with-users server could discontinue allowing new sign-ups on their sign-up page, but rather post a link to a list of where willing-to-accept-new-users servers are.
