Its my last day in vacation and Im spending it reading a book about... how to read a book.

I had already noticed how poor the reading techniques are taught in school. Not just that, how so little is even discussed about this massive flaw in a fundamental aspect of human inteligence. I guess partly because the image of a professor is simply that: the teacher gonna cover the most important points in a book beforehand, making it easier to the following read.

The thing is, that just works when you actually have a teacher for a particular subject. And not a bad one.

If you dont have that, you end like me, that absorb book cnotent in its raw-est form: just reading continuously hoping I can get the exact point the author was trying to pass.

That lack of technique is about what this meta-book is.

How is everyone?
Good. I'd spent roughly 43 hours on just the floor of this one house. The software was being such a butt that it would take me 30-60 minutes per truss and then I had to do it all over again because the person designing the walls failed to communicate something with me. But I finished it Monday and then yesterday I successfully completed like 6 things.

I've noticed a trend where architects are getting lazier and lazier. It won't be long before they just draw a square and expect someone in my position to figure out everything else.

On an unrelated note, I finally hit max MGP (9,999,999) at the Gold Saucer in XIV with nothing left to buy. It was probably the most underwhelming completion of a long-term goal that I've ever experienced.

I guess I could try to psych myself up more.... After all, I just freed up TWO WHOLE MINUTES EVERY DAY, and I get to set a new FREE TELEPORT POINT!
Free tele point???

I have been maxed on MGPs for a while now and no new free teles in sight.

Naw. People have been triggered since the Dawn of Man. It's just now less legal to slap or punch someone, so it gets pent-up. And now we know more about mental health to understand why some things set people off.

Nowadays we recognize mental health as health. Back in the day we'd just say it was ghosts or a witch that possessed someone to lash out.

RIP Kirk Baily AKA Kevin "Ug" Lee. Ug Lee. Ugly. I bet most people never knew where his name came from for his character on 'Salute Your Shorts'. Anyway, death from lung cancer announced today Mar. 2. 2022. It had only been diagnosed 6 months ago. May all of your waffles in the afterlife be of the awful kind. Awfully great.

Even if the war were to stop today, don't sanctions tend to last well passed the ending of the fighting too?

You can bring politics into RT as long as it's about the growing influence of the trade federation and its illegal embargo of naboo.

I'm sorry that I almost got the entire thread locked by going so hard with the P+R in my above post. Thank god for backseat modding to show me the error of my ways.

Multiple pages with multiple posts from multiple people about the "conflict that shall not be named", and someone even mentioned war in the post directly above mine, but go ahead and come after me and my post alone. That tracks.

Sorry, I guess I need to clarify that. If you use the security token then you can set one aetheryte as a free destination. Mine was at the Gold Saucer, and therefore I could set it somewhere else.

As for the Ukraine war thing, it's one of those rare situations where a vast majority of the world's civilian population is at least relatively on the same page, so offhanded comments are unlikely to spark grief. Unless, of course, there is anyone here with pro-Putin sentiments, at which point we would probably need to avoid the topic entirely....
