We know that a bugbear of dyslexics is their poor working memory. While we cannot increase their working memory capacity, is it worth our while to use memory games to train their memory skills? Specifically, get that into the habit of memorising stuff.

I don’t think it’s simple enough to give a definitive answer to your question, because it depends on how many posts there were.

Afternoon Freaks,
Today has been a pretty productive.
Knocked out some fiat work, knocked out some bitcoin work.
Finished setting up a bitcoin ira.
Went on a 5 mile run, walked the dog, took a shower, did the dishes.
Now I need to crank out some more fiat work, write, and shitpost on nostr.
Should probably apply to a few jobs on bitcoinerjobs
Should probably clean the S9's
Should probably watch a few tutorials
Thanks, Hustle

Well sure, pushups aren't the only exercise I do. I do other types of calisthenics as well, but I don't really follow any routine or plan. I just do whatever I feel like and/or have access to. Also, yoga, some hiking/walking, and of course, generally trying to eat more-or-less healthily (high quality fats, lots of protein i.e. eggs, steak, grass-fed butter, MCT oil, Greek yoghurt, avoiding sugar, seed oils and highly processed foods, etc). I also slept on a yoga mat for 3 months, I don't know how much that affected my physique. Now that I'm on the road again I've been sleeping in beds and not been able to keep that great of a routine both in terms of foods and exercise, so we'll see if and how much that's going to affect me.

Really hard to say. Fiat price can rip on sudden announcement of certain fiat policies any moment. But the way Undisciplined and I got you sandwiched in the middle, you probably need to be pretty lucky to win the snail bet.

21 sats \ 2 replies \ @grayruby 21 May
Yes, I am in a tight spot. And I agree that fiat price can rip quickly. I just think with this eth etf now we are either going to see a period where everyone focuses on eth for awhile and bitcoin consolidates or the eth etf will prove to be dud and we will see a major unwind of the leverage piled on in the last couple days and that will take bitcoin down with it at least in the short term. I still think the folks that have Oct/Nov in the snail bet are in the best spot but I could see some weakness in the short term. Especially with summer coming in tradfi (sell in May and go away).

Can I just say.... I am not really a fan of these cowboy hats.... I don't understand what they are for, why one "finds" one or how the wind blows them away...
I am trying to best to simply ignore them - as they seem to be a perverse method to entice us to post or otherwise engage with the site on a more regular basis....but....at least for me it kind of does the opposite...it make me want to not post or engage regularly, as I don't want to be manipulated into feeling I have to do something, or I have to come back to the site and post???
I like to think that the intent was not to manipulate us? Maybe I am missing something? Guess I probably should read up on the purpose behind the hat?
Anyway - them's my beans :)

You can view it as manipulative, which it is, or you can view it as a signal that you contribute to the site.
Some people use the cowboy hats as a quick indicator of whether a post is likely to be spammy or not. Once you develop a reputation, you don't need it, but while your name is unfamiliar, it might help you attract readers.
They also tend to pay for themselves, with how the rewards system works, so you're really just shooting yourself in the foot by not having one.

Love this advises:
My grandmother once gave me a tip: In difficult times, you move forward in small steps. Do what you have to do, but little by little. Don't think about the future, or what may happen tomorrow. Wash the dishes. Remove the dust. Write a letter. Make a soup. You see? You are advancing step by step. Take a step and stop. Rest a little. Praise yourself. Take another step. Then another. You won't notice, but your steps will grow more and more. And the time will come when you can think about the future without crying.

Preparing for a job transition and getting fixated with left-field interview questions.
Are you more of a hunter or a gatherer?
Having taught English at various levels in different institutions, I have accumulated a comprehensive toolbox of resources that empower me to teach anything from literacy support strategies to the weakest progress students to inference and argumentation skills to pre-college adults. I delight in mixing and matching my resources from different teaching jobs to come up with effective materials that address my current students’ specific learning needs. My colleagues sometimes compliment me on how resourceful and sensitive I am to different student profiles.
Besides resources, I also gather first-hand insights on teaching students of varied personalities and constantly seek new resources and strategies to better my teaching.

Signing a Ticket
You have now agreed to the title driver, and to appear in court.
Note: when you are issued with a ticket it is referred to as an offence, not a crime. An “offence" refers to breach of contract; they cannot call it a crime as no law has been broken.
Furthermore you have just proclaimed the law, as it is you who has just signed and dated it. Before you signed it, the law did not exist.
Note: There are no such things as “road laws”, nor can there ever be. All roads are common land and are owned and used by all.
It is unlawful for a living breathing man or woman to forcibly apply policy onto another on common land.

Information is so important — imagine if we are being taught the RIGHR information from day one: how to take care of your diet, your eyes, your teeth, your hair, basically the body that we are born with, then many problems won't even get the chance to show up.
And we were born perfect and free, then slowly corrupted by others and society, and ended up being like slaves and miserable with money or status all day, some even damaging their health for it; now it makes sense why we weren't taught the right information in the first place, what's easier to control than the ignorances? And making them busy all day and no time to think is the way! hence all the distractions and news.
Now, how many businesses are built on people's misery or insecurity of themselves? How much time and energy are being wasted on feeding these man-made desires? Scary...it's like a giant energy-sucking system: you work hard so to spend harder to buy those instant “solutions”.
One of the solutions I found is going back to the past and learning how people live their lives happily, how they used to do things with simple tools, and most importantly, to see what are the real problems needed to be solved: shelter, food, essential things to keep you warm and clean, and love: do things you love, being around people you love, and love for your surroundings.
