Yeah. Probably not the bombing part, though. Probably…

I think you’re my cult leader.

My 18 month old son was having respiratory and stomach symptoms that seemed worse than a standard cold to me, but his doctors said not to worry, all kids have a bad cold sometimes. Even after apples came out exactly as they went in, points and all, and the top of his head had become sunken.

I insisted on taking him to hospital despite being told I was overreacting, and they admitted him immediately without even asking our name. His blood was thick like pudding, and it took a while before they could even do tests, because they couldn’t take blood.

It was rotavirus, and he was in intensive care for 2 weeks.
It was one of the few times I’d decided I wasn’t listening to people telling me to be quiet, and I’m so glad I did. That was like 30 years ago.

Comcast Is watching you masturbate. Awesome.

TBF, we’re all big bad to each other, because our societies are imploding and we’re all scared.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

I love statistics.

Pretty sure this is SOP. At least, it was before these idiots took over.

Not sure why this is news, unless this didn’t occur to these morons before now and they think it’s a Very Good, Big Brain Idea™ that was obvious to literally everyone else.

Thank you.

Xbox has adopted and abandoned AI in the amount of time I stopped playing, stopped paying for Live, and will maybe start again. (eta: if I don’t find something else that has 3D VR).

Weird, that.

In all seriousness, this could actually help. Smell and taste are known to be strong memory triggers.

I wonder if having a certain flavoured/scented lozenge whilst studying a topic (one you don’t normally use), and then using it during a test, would maybe help with recall?

I’ve never heard of a study in this, but it could be interesting to see if it helps at all?

‘Edited to add’

Thanks. :)

I have Ehlers Danlos, which is mostly a curse, but has the benefit of looking really young.

This is great advice, thanks!

Kegels. You can master rhythm, be better at sex, and prevent incontinence as you age. Best of all worlds.

I never claimed anything else. Also, the fi in my scifi is there on purpose. :)

That’s true. This is a slightly broader method, though.

You still start with your ideal method (read it first), then study by augmenting by adding as many senses as possible: read it out loud to yourself, make flash cards for key definitions/concepts, draw concept, etc.

For people who learn best a certain way, this is meant to supplement, not replace.

Then read it more than once: in your head, then aloud. That’s still worth doing, because it still engages vision, speech, hearing, etc, even if you must read through silently before this to grok it.

I’d still do this anyhow.

Yes exactly. I did this with my son when he was young (90s).

This is why I think there’s a name for this – it seems obvious enough for sociologists and psychologists to have looked into it.
