I have found that if I don’t focus on the person talking it helps. But I still write things down.

Listen. That e-ink display I’ve got tucked away in a screenshot and an open tab is important and I will look at it later and decide whether I want to do that project.

If I bookmark it it doesn’t exist. If it’s in a tab I’m more likely to remember to go back to it. If it’s in a tab for more than a week it’s dead, Jim

Possibly? I don’t know for sure because I can’t find a store front selling it, but it does appear that these devices are region locked and that there are people in Asian countries sharing ways to end around the region lock.

No. It looks like it has a different name.

To be fair, I believe that’s the “Walmart” one op talks about in the post. I believe they do sell a version of this same set top box in the UK and possibly other parts of Europe. So it may be a viable option still.

A fair assesment. Except that you have to (and should be) cleaning the upright vacuum as well. Vacuum fires are no joke.

Yeah. I’ve got an 870 that’s still cleaning. It gets stuck under furniture and needs to be rescued at least once a week, and last week it lost its ass dustbin somehow mid clean, but it’s still kicking.

My problem is that the medium is how I can recall it. So if I did write it all out by hand, I would need scratch paper in order to write it all out to be able to tell it to someone else to prove I know it. This happened to me in school a lot.

There was a point where tires were expensive but they lasted a long time because so few people had cars and they didn’t drive them often. So two brothers who owned a tire company were trying to figure out how to sell more tires to the few people who owned cars.

The answer was to get them to wear their tires out faster by providing a list of places they could visit that would warrant the expense of wearing down their tires.

So the stat rating was more of a "this place is worth a visit/road trip system. And they published this list and it caught on and then restaurants wanted to get Michelin stars for the notariety and the essentially free press.
