Go to a nice coffee shop, get a gingerbread latte and sit by a window, watch people walking by and write (or hope a cute guy comes to talk to me ;D)

FYI https://blog.race-conditions.net/ 's cert has expired, and the GitHub link under its header 404s.

Edit: realised that's a bit dry. Good luck with the cute guy and enjoy New Year's!

I usually go to the movies. You can often times find theaters that are empty, which can be a good thing right now

I second this, especially now that Matrix Resurrections is out. :-)

Cycling locally is interesting, hardly any traffic about. You might have to take your coffee stop at a petrol station, they will be the only place open.

I found it interesting that Starbucks in my area was open until 5PM today. Sadly they were only getting time and a half, I’m told.

I'm about to go watch the sunset with some snacks. Though to be honest, the main thing is just getting out, rather than what I do specifically once I'm there.

Reflecting on what the human needs for surviving and thriving are, which ones am I not meeting, don't know how to identify, don't know how to meet, and how can I start meeting them sustainably.

Powder skiing. No friends on a powder day. 1.4 m of fresh and -29 Celsius. Heated boots, snorkel system, heated vest, down coat and pants.

Where do you get heated gear?

Bake a cake or some cookies, find your next fire/police station and bring it to them. It will brighten up their day.

Along those lines: Get a Santa hat and a red pillow case, gather up socks, underwear, blankets, sanitary items, gift cards, candy, and walk around the city and give it to the homeless you come across.

Go watch a movie, or at least this is something I would do before COVID. I haven't been since COVID started. The Coen brother The Tragedy of Macbeth is now showing.
