I have a tiny 3ft tape measure on my keychain for similar reasons. It's so handy!

A traveling repairman or some other on-the-road professional. Let it go in the hotel overnight and have your print by morning. Or that evening if you set it up in the morning.

Will write code for visa

Cranks and dials like the Tempest arcade cabinet and the more recent Playdate.

The Playdate almost nailed it.

Mark Rober is what you get when you cross veritasium with Mr beast. Someone who's genuinely smart but they're going to leave all that stuff out because they want the bigger audience

Go back 1000 years before Europe makes contact with the Americas. Infect everyone and let their populations get wiped out, but give time to recover so first contact with Europe doesn't go as poorly. Also give them horses much earlier.

I can tell you haven't booted the game up recently because they completely redid the perk system and cyberware not too long ago.

CDPR has been atoning for the sin that was their failed launch for years. In my opinion, the game is a good game now.

This is cool. I had no idea about most of these.

It costs ~$150 to build your own CO2 carbonation setup. After that, refills are pretty infrequent at ~$10. That gets you relatively unlimited sparkling water.

If you're jonesing for specific flavors, flavor powders, extracts, and raw sucralose in bulk on Amazon will run you around $20, or ~$100 total for a decent assortment. It'll pay for itself in like a year and the powders will last you awhile.

Depends on how you learn, and what the material is. Stuff that worked for me, in no particular order:

• Write a cheat sheet for exams, even if you can't actually use it in the exam
• Start homework the day the lecture that covers the material is given in class.
• Try to explain the subject out loud to someone else (real or imaginary). Anywhere you draw a blank when talking is something you need to refresh on. Repeat this until you get it right.
• For memorization - heavy topics, build an Anki flashcard deck

All of these techniques are variations on the fact that people learn by repeated exposure. the closer together the initial repetitions are, the higher the retention.
