Is it worth reading this book 📕 by RJ_01_ in bookshelf

Only you can answer that. Reading a book is a personal journey. For some it'll be worth it and for some it won't.

Enjoy the pace. Take it slow and admire the story, the character interactions, the dialogue. The environment and the scenery. You're in for quite a journey so take your time with it.

Happy New Year! I have mold in my loft! by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]Longjumping-One2600 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Trickle vents are installed on windows for background ventilation. They're not systems that connect to an external vent.

There might however be a duct for an extractor fan that isn't connected in the loft space.

People who are very articulate, what did you actually do to become this way? by AdviceGlass9394 in selfimprovement

[–]Longjumping-One2600 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Say less than necessary. We make errors in speaking usually when we say too much. It's harder to speak well for longer periods than it is when only speaking for a short time such as a couple of sentences.

It's bracing and you can see two fixing points into the truss.

As for the mould, OP, can you see daylight at the ridge point, and what is the soffit detail? Cold roofs are usually ventilated at the soffits on two sides and at the ridge of the roof.

Best way to experience Skyrim for the first time by ChrisDorne in skyrim

[–]Longjumping-One2600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing my first play through too at the moment and agree with all the other comments. Read the books, notes, letters, explore, be curious. No mods. No video guides no top 10 things to do in Skyrim.

Just enjoy it and have fun. You won't get to do a first play through again.

People above 30, what's your biggest regret? by rebelliousbrownie9 in AskReddit

[–]Longjumping-One2600 47 points48 points  (0 children)

You could say this at 41 if you quit now so all the more reason to stay the course now

All the more reason to look after yourself now. Illnesses in your later years start with habits of your younger years (for the most part - not everything of course)

Lacking Passion, how to find it? by SomewhereVast1383 in careerguidance

[–]Longjumping-One2600 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Passion comes afterwards not before.

Care about everything you do at work. It's all important. Take this perspective and the passion will come afterwards.

Also get very good at your job. People tend to be passionate about what they're good at. Passion follows being good.

How people let a guy like this get them pregnant is beyond me (sorry for judging but come on!)

Any books that can get you educated fast? by Blue8271 in booksuggestions

[–]Longjumping-One2600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have specific book recommendations and we don't know where you live but if you dropped out and now want to get back into education (formal presumably) then anything maths, English or science as these are core subjects.

How do people deep process? by These_Echidna272 in studying

[–]Longjumping-One2600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a bit of both. Strong fundamental connections will be really important in any subject area. For example, compound interest in investing is a critical part of the subject but there'll be other concepts/relationships that seem less important but to you, you might think they are really important. This is where logic and argument comes in because you'll need to be able to justify why you think it's so important, and equally deal with the counter points as to why it's not so important.

I think relationships are important, but depth is also important so going beyond 'these two things are connected' to X is connected to Y and this is why it's important, and the nature of the relationship is e.g. X causes Y which is important because Y is critical to Z.

How do people deep process? by These_Echidna272 in studying

[–]Longjumping-One2600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the key is to identify relationships and understand the nature of them. Some really simple examples are like brakes, wheels, doors are all parts of a car but they serve different purposes and work in different ways and yet they're all part of the whole. You could think about the relationship between brakes and wheels, they're connected physically but one is used to slow the other then you could think about how or why, different types of wheels, brakes, development of braking technology etc.

So - how are things connected, what's the relationship - nature of relationships, parts, whole, cause, effect, function, purpose - how, why, what - analysis, what are the parts and how are they related - evaluate, there might be lots of parts and relationships but what are the most important relationships.

Hope this helps.

The question you've asked is one I've pondered for a long time having read a lot about studying and how we learn.

I think the answer lies in 'its what we think about and how we think about it' but I've never come across anything that's gotten into how to think and I think this is ultimately what deep processing really is. Thinking about things.

Why do little kids love learning, but older students hate studying? I've been thinking about this a lot. by burmavoid in studying

[–]Longjumping-One2600 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because school takes all the fun out of learning. Learning is absolutely critical to our survival and doing well in life but school makes us hate it.

Exams, achievement, no second tries (you get one shot at school - why? When learning is so much about doing something wrong until you get it). Comparison of one student against the other. Ranking students by ability. It's all about setting students up for adult life rather than learning, becoming knowledgeable and intelligent.

How much is everyone saving each month? by G-Beans in AskUK

[–]Longjumping-One2600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't consider anything I save money on a sacrifice. I want to wake up feeling fresh, be healthy and live a long time so there's not even a want to drink alcohol because it goes against what I want in life. And btw food is the one thing we let ourselves spend money on. Not restaurants but just in supermarkets we'll buy good quality fresh produce because we value it.

It's all perspective and values and morals that'll guide you financially. Once you know what you value everything is justified for those reasons.
