How would they do that if they don't have your address? For example: a decent amount of elderly don't use the internet, how would they be contacted?

Have you tried the library?
Personally I noticed it help me if I did my usual routine but instead of going to work I'd go work at home. What I mean by this is that i'd wake up at my normal time, wear actual work clothes and fully prepare myself like I'd usually do going to the office. Gets my head in the right space.

Yep. For anyone curious: "Diploma A" can be started at age 4. The requirements to finish the exam are:
- Swimming with clothes on after an unexpected fall into the water, able to orient themselves above water and leave the water independently.
- Enter the water in different ways, can orient themselves and proceed to swim through something.
- Can use one or more of the 4 basic strokes (breaststroke, single backstroke, front crawl, back crawl) to swim a base distance
- Can float on his back and stomach. Feels confident in the water.
- Can do water steps(?) with arms and legs, can turn and orient themselves.
The clothing required are: - Bath clothes
- Shirt/Crew neck with long sleeves
- Long pants, dress or skirt (reaches the ankle)
- Shoes (plastic/leather/sports)

True, but it doesn't help staying afloat. If I lay on my back, my feet and legs will sink first.

Fortnite has cross-platform, Apex Legends does not. Personally, I only see negativity around the way cross-platform was implemented into Fortnite.

I don't really understand it either. Just seems like a way to preserve costs. Only thing that would come to mind is that the US is less densely populated compared to Europe, making delivering them to neighbors/local depot a lot more time consuming
