Ooh, ooh! I'm in that law! I'm in the (to paraphrase) "competent and devoted to the goal but unempowered" group!

I got my non-gamer boomer neighbor on Bitwarden. It's not that complicated.
She's never had a job or hobby where she had to use a computer and she picked up "oh, I store all my passwords in this magic browser thing? That's way more convenient that remembering which kid's birthday was the password to my email." I also taught her how to copy and paste using the keyboard (and that you can remind yourself of what the shortcut is by right-clicking and looking at the shortcut hint in the menu).
I remember asking my dad to cocoon me in blankets as a kid. It was wicked comfy.
Nowadays I'm in a hammock. It's way more comfy on my hips than a mattress and it gives me that happy cuddled feeling.
A book might be listed under multiple subjects or authors but cannot be shelved in multiple places. You can use the card catalog to find such a book because it can be represented by a card under multiple subjects or authors.
That's just because you haven't met my label maker. It does the letters one at a time, manually, embossed into a strip of plastic.

Mine's fine. My partner is also dating someone else and that person is awesome. Sometimes my partner is gone for a weekend, which means I get the whole condo to myself, can take up the whole dining table with my hobby mess, and can order delivery food that would give him heartburn (instead of ordering from someplace he can also order from).
Sometimes his girlfriend visits us, which is a great impetus to clean the condo. She's also a great cook ☺️
Exactly. Cards can't be slower than an Internet connection.
I've been enjoying Kagi. You pay a monthly fee (there's a free trial) and get good search results. You can even tailor the results to prioritize or deprioritize various sites. For example, I told it to never show me anything from Pinterest.
Supporting them through colonoscopy prep and being their ride home afterwards. Sitting in the exam room with them as they try and break wind after the procedure. Clapping in delight when the trumpet finally sounds because it means their pain/discomfort will start subsiding.
LPT: if you ever get wasps in your house you can use the extension hose on your vacuum cleaner to suck them up. The hose extension means you don't have to get close to them.
(I'm fine with them outside as long as they don't nest on my balcony, but inside is a problem.)
