Thank you for this.

I feel like I missed so much being far too drunk and high in the 80s, and that’s a shame. At least I can enjoy it now.

Yet more stable than a Robin.

Holy cod.

Hey man, I have the right to reclaim fish language. You can’t evolve out of your clade. I am fish.

I’ll catch and release that for the halibut. Salmon you.

How to develop film in a darkroom:

Are you kidding? That burger is huge! Look at it next to the whale. Whales are enormous.

No. Those aren’t prophecies, they’re fairy tales. Also, the number was not 666. That’s a mistranslation. It was 616 (in Greek, not Hebrew), which was a reference to Nero, who was the actual target of those verses. It wasn’t a prophecy, but contemporary criticism.

This gematra numerology is bullshit and based on bad translations of Iron Age superstitions that we should have left behind millennia ago. People need to grow up and live in the real world.

Okay, but if a guy gave me a bouquet of chicken, I’d have that face, too.

Centuries, I think. Shakespeare used ‘they’ as a neutral pronoun.

There are some hilarious clips out there with Forrest Valkai using a buzzer every time some moron calls in saying they won’t use yer woke pronouns, using pronouns in their sentences.

e: can’t spell

Like waaaaaaaay before this.

But, $$$$$$$, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ow, my back.

If it makes you feel any better (and sorry if it does the opposite), she sort of plagiarised from earlier series including The Worst Witch and The Adventures of Willy the Wizard. Kinda all of it, including the premise (magical vs ‘normal’ kids called to a magical school, houses, many of the spells and plots, etc. So much so that the latter sued her over it (that author lost, because it wasn’t a word-for-word lift).

If you like the genre, I’d recommend reading those series instead now.

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.
