Either a large piece of buttered toast or a bowl of yogurt.

Writing notes by hand has been proven to be more effective than typing. Take notes by hand as you go through the source material, then rewrite them (still by hand) into a neat, organized document. Index the document and store it. The act of writing out and engaging with the information to reorganize it will go a long way towards improving recall later, and if you do forget you’ll have a quick reference ready to brush up. Bonus points if you add a section to the neat document linking it conceptually to other knowledge, as that builds even more pathways in your brain to that information.

…is this a cryptic way of saying that skiing makes you horny?

OS 9 released 25 years ago. That’s technically less than 30 but I think the point stands.

Infrastructure isn’t the entirety of the problem. My city is a dense populated core surrounded by a sprawl of suburbs and office parks—tons of people live in the city and commute out to the suburbs for office work. The office areas are too spread out for a transit system to service (we have a decent commuter network, but you’re lucky if your office is close enough to it), so it’s pretty much drive or bust.

Except that your evaluation of yourself only holds under the framework of ideals provided to you from childhood by your environment. If you are in a simulation, you have no possible insight into what is considered good or interesting outside the simulation.

What specifically do you dislike about it? Personally I’ve really been enjoying the new design and haven’t noticed any issues around things like animations, I’d be curious to hear a different perspective

Picked up the original Hollow Knight on sale a little while back. With the all the buzz around Silksong I finally booted it up, having a blast so far!

That’s our fight—not our unborn childrens’.

Having a child for any purpose other than the flourishing and well-being of that child has always struck me as a deeply flawed decision. If your child doesn’t want to fight for a world they never knew, all you’ve birthed is misery.

Right stick, generally used for camera control. Reading my comment back that’s super unclear lol

I think the asymmetry is great! It makes it really easy to move my thumb off the camera stick to grab the dpad without letting go of movement or doing the claw. I like the aesthetic of a symmetrical controller, but offset sticks just works better for me.

Spent 4,000 hours on Dota 2. Finally kicked the habit and Valve goes and drops Deadlock 🙄
