@ThrillaRilla369 Hyperthesia. Developed it when I got shot in the spine. A million needles piercing both legs all over. A sheet or even a mild breeze increased the pain. Dental work, heart attack, blood clots, toothaches, accidents and injuries ain’t got nothing on them.

@cspanwj Why is Caine mentioning the skills and proximity of our airborne division? I predict. Troops on the ground within the next 30 days. Are you ready for a war!

@MysterySolvents @smc429 At Costco. I’m pumping my 4.19 regular. Older white woman gets out of her car and I asked her was she ready to get robbed. 😂 Her response led to a diff convo about women leaving ther purse in the car and having it creeped away, and my experience witnessing it. Cool AF

Took my 16 year old to look at cars today. At first he loved the Toyota Camry we looked at, but when he saw the seats were cloth he hard vetoed it. They have another one with leather seats, but it’s an XLE and costs $5k more. How can I change his mind so I can save some money?

@miles_commodore I choose to stay in IL because I live next to the world’s largest bathtub. Within the next 50-100, the resource wars won’t be over oil. It will be over fresh water. I fully support building the wall. But I would like it built along the old Mason-Dixon Line.

Serious question for conservatives that reside in California, Illinois, New York, and other blue states. Why do you live there? Your job, family, you love your home? I'm really curious.

@ihtesham2005 @mikedbrook Damn my mom was a genius. She taught me those basic by 3rd grade. 30-45 minutes of studying. What you’re reading? Can’t give a synopsis on the spot? Go play for a half hour. Be back at 5pm sharp. What were you studying before you left? Amazingly i could recall. BTW, son. 😂

A community college professor taught the same study skills lecture for 30 years, and the video quietly became one of the most watched educational recordings on the internet. His name is Marty Lobdell. He spent his career as a psychology professor watching students fail not because they were lazy, but because nobody had ever taught them how their brain actually works under the pressure of learning something hard. The lecture is called "Study Less Study Smart." Over 10 million views. Passed around in Reddit threads, Discord servers, and university study groups for over a decade. And the core insight buried inside it has been sitting in cognitive psychology research for years, waiting for someone to explain it in plain language. Here is the framework that completely changed how I think about effort. Your brain does not sustain focus the way you think it does. Studies tracking real students found that the average learner hits a wall somewhere between 25 and 30 minutes. After that, efficiency doesn't just decline. It collapses. You're still sitting at your desk, still looking at the page, but almost nothing is going in. Lobdell illustrated this with a student he knew personally. She set a goal of studying 6 hours a night, 5 nights a week, to pull herself out of academic probation. Thirty hours of studying per week. She failed every single class that quarter. She wasn't failing because she lacked effort. She was failing because she had confused time spent near books with time spent actually learning. The 25-minute crash hit her at 6:30pm every night. She spent the next five and a half hours sitting in the wreckage of her own focus and calling it studying. The fix sounds almost too simple. The moment you feel the slide, stop. Take five minutes. Do something that actually gives you a small reward. Then go back. That five-minute reset returns you to near full efficiency. Across a six-hour window, the difference is not marginal. It is the difference between thirty minutes of real learning and five and a half hours of it. The second thing he taught destroyed something I had believed about how memory actually works. Highlighting feels productive. Going back over your notes and recognizing everything feels like knowing. But recognition and recollection are two completely different cognitive processes, and your brain is very good at making you confuse them. You can see something you've read before and feel completely certain you understand it, even when you couldn't reconstruct a single sentence from memory if the page were blank. He proved this live in the room. He read 13 random letters to his audience. Almost nobody could recall them. Then he rearranged the same 13 letters into two words: Happy Thursday. The whole room got all 13 without effort. Same letters. Same count. The only thing that changed was meaning. The brain stores meaning. Not repetition. The moment new information connects to something you already understand, the retention changes entirely. This is what the cognitive psychology literature calls elaborative encoding, and it is the mechanism underneath every effective study technique. The third principle was the one that hit me hardest, and the one almost nobody applies. Lobdell cited research showing that 80 percent of your study time should be spent in active recitation, not passive reading. Close the material. Say it back in your own words. Teach it to someone else, or to an empty chair if no one is around. The struggle of retrieval is where the actual learning happens. Reading your notes again is watching someone else do the work. His parting line has stayed with me longer than almost anything else I have read about learning. He told the room that if what he shared didn't change their behavior, they hadn't actually learned it. It would just live in their heads as something they had heard once and felt good about. He was right. And most people leave every lecture exactly like that. The students who remember everything aren't putting in more hours. They stopped confusing the feeling of studying with the fact of it.

@DasDposting @Matt_Pinner No excuse. I worked 3jobs one FT 2 PT early in our marriage, and still cooked and cleaned. YOUR home? YOUR kids? REAL men take care of them, beyond a paycheck. Money/material can be gotten from anyone anywhere. Your time, effort, and energy, is the non-commodity.

@Matt_Pinner Yes. A husband laying on his ass while his wife is cooking and being harassed by HIS kids. Likely leading to a poorly prepared meal for him, rather intention or accidental, due to her stress or distraction. Want more/better sex? Partner your wife and help out

@nickimoraa Yes. It’s often in many HR manuals. Wear it lightly, yes. Take a bath in it? No Just heavy enough that your scent lingers for a moment after you leave a room, not sitting there “having cocktails” hours after you’ve left the building

My grandson found this in a textbook we bought at Halfprice Books. He asked me if this is “what library cards looked like”, but I actually don’t know what it might be from. Any clue? There is nothing on the back.
