That would still be my answer, too ;)

Sorry if I came off as aggressive or “you are WRONG,”

You did not ;)

but it definitely would not define PKMS vs journal

Not my intention either. To give you an idea I will index in my pkms entries from my journal where I wrote my thoughts about such or such book I'm reading, or a movie or some event, or whatever. But only as far as I think that entry may one day have interest outside of them being my (personal) thoughts on whatever. So, most journal entries, because of the way I write it, don't enter my pkms. I value them almost equally, though.

You just have to wait until daily usage grows.

That's the plan. My only worry is people starting to feel I'm too active. I mean, I don't worry about their opinion I just don't want my attempt to have the opposite effect I want it to have ;)

Maybe do some interactive thing to engage users (like the superbowl community recently started a tournament where people can vote for their favourite of two owls evry day)

I had hoped mentioning a new banner/icn would have gathered a little more interest but I probably have not managed to introduce the topic properly. What's the expression in English? You live and learn?

Digital forever.

Forever is a long time :p

I enjoy a Pilot Precise V5 RT pen. Comes out smoother than every other pen I’ve ever used. I’m left-handed.

Yeah, I quite like my Uniball Eye Micro pens too. They're so smooth, even as a rightie ;)

I use real pens so rarely nowadays

I wonder how 'rarer' it may have become for young kids nowadays to use 'real pens'?

I'm not sure it's a situation I'm happy with. Maybe not because I consider handwriting inherently better than, say, typing is (even though I'm not a bad typist, I prefer handwriting but that's a whole different consideration that has little to do with their respective qualities) but because by not teaching kids propoer handwriting (and by not making them actually use that skill) we may deprive them of a real useful skill that they will dearly miss the day they're left without easy/cheap access to all that technology they have learned to depend on to be able to write and share anything.

Never thought I’d have opinions about how nice a pen is but there you have it.

Thx for sharing it :)

The Hongdian M2

Nice portale pen!

They don’t feel watertight to me, but, like you, I hope to be wrong haha

They aren't, at least I don't think they are. The body unscrews from the grip way too easily for me to trust it as is. But with the right o-ring and some silicon grease could do wonder. I willing to risk it :p

Walking. Long daily walks.

It changed (& helped save) my life.

Edit (to give some context):
When I started to walk, I was barely able to walk at all. Like, really, a few steps to get to the mailbox would kill me and have me lay on bed for hours. I was in a really bad, bad shape (in the head too). Nowadays, I will walk 8-10km every single day and, added to that, I will go everywhere walking if at all possible. I'm still not an athlete but at the least my body is not a dead weight anymore (I feel better in the head too). And it all changed the day I decided I would simply walk a little more. A few steps at first, and then more, and then more. I was impressed by the huge impact of a seemingly little change. I celebrated each 'win' (the first time I walked the block, the first kilometer, and so on) and I never blamed myself for the (many) fails. Instead, I tried to analyze the reasons why I failed so I could do better next time.

Imho, 'cheapest' and 'useful' are rarely a great combo for a VPN.

I mho, Mullvad is the best available, at 5€/month.
Close second, I would place Proton VPN.

Most of the others are just, well, I don't care much about their existence.

Non US citizens, what's the weirdest thing about USA elections, compared to elections in your country?

I will probably get downvoted to oblivion for that but here it is: that one of your candidate was not put in jail already and is still legally able to run for presidency (note that I did not name said candidate, I would not want to influence US voters ;)
