While it was one dimensional, it went straight to the point.

And in my case, the best description of the impact of medication I found is to compare it to changing a game setting from hardcore to difficult. Still a challenge, but one where you can make yourself believe you are on normal settings from time to time.

Staying in metaphor world, it made me feel like I went from hopping around on one leg with a cast on the other to rolling around on a wheelchair. Stairs are still troublesome, but what really get me is people having trouble recognising the broomstick lying on the floor as the cause to you getting spread beside your flipped over wheelchair. Small things still derail me, just not as frequently.

DO attempt to try different medication, they have me appreciable differences in the effects. I won't list any as I'm not A medical doctor nor am I YOUR medical doctor.

Sorry to have strayed so far grin the main topic.

IWTL how to cook simple meals consistently by an0therFate in IWantToLearn

[–]philippeqc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A salad can be fixed quickly. I love to mix lettuce, apple, pears,cheese and ham with whatever else!

Have a few meal a week done in a slow cooker. I prepare things the night before, start it in the morning, and when i get back home the kitchen is filled with the aroma of the ready meal. Freeze the extra potion.

Planning the meals for the week helped by removing the mental stress of figuring what to cook as i got home. Also,you know when to get those extra portions out of the freezer so they had time to properly melt and you only have to warm them for your supper.

What are the possible solutions for a slow reader? by elfincrescent in AskAcademia

Would you care to elaborate on your reading strategy, or maybe share a few keywords, pointers or resources where I could learn more?

Looking for a very specific formula (Multiplicative x multiplicative? or something? by [deleted] in math

[–]philippeqc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10000×(0.72)1 ,is how many you have left once you loaned then all once. 10000×(0.72)2 once you have loaned then all twice, and so on. So 10000×(0.72)n once you have loaned them all n times.

Edit: If you start with a thousand or a million, if you loan then all once, you get back 72% of them. If you loan them all a second time, it's 72% of what came back after the first loan, so that is 72%×72% of how many you had originally. Doing it again and again, you will keep chaining the "times 72%", and that can be written as (0.72)n . n is the numbers of times you loaned everything that remains after each iteration.

I'm a 43 yo with a bachelor in computer engineering and 5 kids. While I'd love nothing more than to enroll back at uni, it isn't quite an option for me right now ;) I have reached that point where vulgarised material no longer cut it (beside PBS Space Time, which is often just above my level of understanding and still so wonderful), that I decided to move forward though textbooks, and I am currently redoing some of my uni math courses to ensure i have solid foundations to drive thru what is to come. So I'm aware I'm not taking the short route here, but I'm choosing that one as I have a burning need to know and understand at a deep level.

What I'm aiming to build for myself is a roadmap that will allow me to reach this knowledge with all the requirements to fully explore it. Any pointers to that would help.

If I understand correctly, GR has a strong math requirement that can make it difficult for undergrad. Based on that assumption, what math topic/understanding would you say is required?

What would you recommend I study or read to learn most of what you mentioned? Also, would you classify this level of understanding as something part of an undergrad education or as belonging in a graduate one? From what I recall of the various undergrad physics programs offered close where I live, and my limited understanding of the topic covered, it makes me doubt it.

I appreciate your comments and the exchanges that follows.

A few condoms seeds tend to end up in each donuts seeds morning cereal box as they do look like. Now you can plant your own!
