    I was all ready to come back at with how I wish I had your problem, but I can honestly see how being unable to buckle down would be a huge impediment.

    My results may not be as good as my peers and I may take longer, but I am able to get there eventually.

    For instance, I am currently on day 4 of 25 of the Advent of Code competition, haha.

    Back in school I literally helped other students cram 30 minutes before a test, using flash cards I made and used all week, only to have them breeze in and get a higher score than me.

    Do you know how great it would be to only barely try, and succeed anyway? I can’t even imagine.

    This is why I avoid hobbies that require any special kit. I hate hate HATE having some useless tool laying about in my limited space.

    Nowadays I try to stick to art hobbies and programming, since between all my pencils, paper, and laptop, I already have everything I need to perform those hobbies.

    On the point of metric, my partner is more used to Imperial measurements so I’ve just put up little hand drawn conversion charts around the house, mostly the kitchen.

    On the point of lib bashing, that’s harder. You can really only have those more nuanced conversations with open-minded people in smaller groups (or just find your local socialists).
