inTIL one old outlet in my 1950s house had no ground wire, just a fake third prong
Did you check the outlets in the kitchen too since they're usually on their own circuit? If some of those are faking it too, that's where I'd worry most since they deal with water and higher loads. I'd probably just run new wire to the outlets you actually use a lot and skip the headache of guessing which ones are lying to you.

inFound out my grocery store marks down meat at 7pm, not 8pm
The 8pm thing got me too, so at least we're both bad at this.

inRead that 53% of digital nomads work more hours than they did at home, and I can't tell if that's freedom or a trap
The trick is figuring out if you're grinding because you have to or because you let the time zones eat you alive. I did the Chiang Mai thing for two years and the first six months were brutal, working till 3am for US clients because I never set any real limits. What saved me was picking a hard stop time and sticking to it, even if it meant telling a client I'd reply in the morning. You also have to watch your rates, because a lot of nomads work more hours just to cover the same money they made back home with fewer hours. If you're putting in 50 hour weeks and still stressing about rent, that's not freedom, that's just a job with a nicer view. Track your hours for a month and do the math on what you're actually earning per hour, the answer usually tells you if it's worth it.
