    If you use Google Meet or Zoom or some kind of Desktop recording software, you can record yourself talking between blank or paused video while taking the online course and have the transcript + your own voiced notes with the recording as review material + courseware.

    If you take the trouble of revisiting , revising, re-note-taking you might end up with better understanding and even self-generated workbook + answers too ( including your mistakes and what is a false trail or false path and the correct approach ) .



  • Driving manual takes BOTH Theory and Practice.

    1. Replay potential scenarios in your head and try to predict how you will react.

    2. Re-examine your realtime reactions on the road.

    3. Learn both rules of the road and real-life motorists reactions to rules.

    4. Safety - Safety - Safety. If it feels unsafe, get off the road safely and wait it out.

    Manual driving tips.

    Use the emergency-parking-hand-brake for hill-assists.

    Practice dual-brake-accelerator press/release.

    Practice clutch-release-hold with no brake-accelerator ( fully depressed clutch, quarter-release, half-release, no-clutch … does the vehicle jump forward, at what point does it start creeping forward, what noise is the engine making, how does the gear-stick/shaft feel smooth or vibrating or extremely-stuck, etc etc )

    Practice a reliable gear-stick-shift-shaft action. Turn your wrist outward and push horizontal, and up for 1st-gear. Neutral with a downward wrist and wiggle along the central neutral line. Turn wrist upward and firmly push straight forward for 3rd-gear, and tap gear-knob down and wiggle along central neutral line to confirm gear-stick is in the neutral, etc etc.

    So by judging how traffic behaves and by establishing clear personal good gear/manual habits, you can improve your reactions.

    Look forward of the vehicle for less than 10 meters ( 30 feet ) and drive below 60 kmph ( 40 mph ) if you can’t smoothly handle the manual transmission. Increase by 5 feet look distance as you get more comfortable over several months.

    Don’t drive in traffic, park if you feel unsafe without causing problems.

    Avoid steep shopping mall parking lots and narrow spaces until you are comfortable handling the manual vehicle.

    Add wing mirrors and antenna at the edges of the vehicle corners to help visually identify the area around the vehicle.

    Best of Luck and Have Fun once you are good at it. If after 2 years you aren’t getting any results, then manual may not be the best choice for you and you may need to give it up. Automatic transmissions are now making amazing progress and reliability.

    No shame driving automatic transmission vehicles.



  • I had an entire LIFETIME in ONE night. Dream was super realistic, but it was all anime waifus. From earliest childhood memory till old age and that final darkness basically that last moment woke me up with a start. I never imagined that an entire lifetime in one night dream.

    I don’t think I ever had such an experience ever again. It was just one time. Never to happen again so far.







  • In ten years time,

    1. Locally-sourced technology innovations.

    2. 3D-Printers in every village. ( Prints shirts, shoes, pants, socks, replacement parts )

    3. Plant-based Plastics ( seaweed and hemp/copra/palm )

    4. Total breakdown of Petro-chemicals ( Saudi, Iran, Indonesia, OPEC, Russia ) no more Petro-Global-economy

    5. CNG/LNG from Biomass and big farming takeover.

    6. Solar/Wind/Tidal Electricity generation technology maturations.

    7. Massive Trades-based Education and less PhD based international studies.

    8. Rapid Rebuild from MAJOR Disasters ( flooding, fires, tsunami, earthquake, volcano, hurricane, tornado, Cat-6 storms , etc )

    9. Any country heavily dependent on Import/Export with zero local production/productivity will go back to the StoneAge ( tough reality for small countries / city-states )

    10. Massive World-Wars everywhere. Massive Militarization ZERO Democracies surviving including USofA.

    Swyers disease. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_gonadal_dysgenesis

    A Genetically-born XY person with fully developed female-organs and no visible male-organs hence failed to go through male-puberty remaining for all intents and purposes female-adjacent.

    The Olympics committee via Scientific investigation have determined that Swyers disease persons are essentially female from birth including physical characteristics hence an exception has been made to be allowed in the Olympics female category for participation.

    Trans-persons are still not allowed in the Olympics female category no exceptions.

    Yep. Its like finals. You get your one-shot to get it right. Else you have to rebuild to try the next 4 years after. You get to the Olympics means you are the best of the best. And winning a medal is literally 3 out of 7 Billion human beings.

    So you prepare and prepare and hope you do it all with less errors than the other guys.




  • Lab-grown meat might not have nerve-endings or nerve-endings that connect to nowhere. You will need a brain or spine for the nerves to connect back to for the nervous signals to get recognized and processed before the screaming and “conscious” state of the brain can potentially exist.

    So in essense, the lab-grown meat will just be like tissue cultures kept artificially alive but not a living organism.
