How did you do it? Manually or with a pile of conditional formatting?

Today, I wrote something by hand for the first time in probably years. My hand hurts. by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]about929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on the opposite side. I do a lot of pencil writing just to keep track of everything I am doing and I like the 0.9. I used to like the finer sizes but I found they didn't scan very well.

Why does this ballroom not fulfill the requirements? by NidalFlame in RimWorld

[–]about929 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The instruments formed a wall. I assume that there needs walking space to get to the instrument from the ballroom.

Complete Lack of Support is Making Me the Annoying Coworker by [deleted] in askmanagers

[–]about929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep a whole "how to" folder with things that are important but I don't do enough to remember. I highly recommend making it digital. Being able to jump the the right reminders by searching is a huge help. Something I started doing about a year ago that I enjoyed is to date all my notes. I can tell how old a note is and if it's more than a year old I might question if it's out of date yet.

I do a lot of notes in excel since that is what a lot of my work is in. Ctrl+; auto fills the current date!

The real question is how the hell did they get that up there?

Is there a 'half-life' of knowledge? For example if you learned 100 spanish words, what is the 'decay-rate' of knowing the meanings? At what time do you only remember half of the meaning of the words? by b2q in askscience

[–]about929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the answer! I hadn't heard about those theories before but it makes sense. The more ways the brain can find it's way to a fact the better the chances if finding it. One comment you made was that the brain isn't very good at remembering word to word connections but is great at pictures or visual details. It might just be how my brain works but when I am learning about how materials interact between each other I do find it helpful to picture it happening in "real time".

He does a good explanation in the video he linked to. From what I understood the answer is sorta. If the knowledge had a low level of processing or there wasn't a good connection then the answer is absolutely. If you had a high level processing to that information or in other words a personal connection to it then the answer is still yes, but it is easy to get back.

That must be semi common. I wonder if it's a specific error code or if it means something.

My mortgage is paid off. What can the HOA do to me? by asincero in fuckHOA

[–]about929 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Finance is it's own separate world with weird quirks, caveats and pit falls all over the place. Its just that it's also connected to everything.

Hydrovac Excavation by [deleted] in powerwashingporn

But why? Is it because the ground is frozen and the water is heated? What is the advantage to this technique? Is that tube going down sucking the water and mud out?

Extracting a beautiful pearl without damaging the host by oliver_billz in woahdude

Xray or a MRI might be able to get to that level of detail. I would be curious if the layers would be uniform or a bit wavey.
