  • It has been well documented that the act of hearing the letter, thinking about the letter and doing a physical motion to create the letter provides better connections for the learning and retaining. Same for writing full cursive words. It will get dropped totally at some point, hopefully future generations always have OCR to read new found historic manuscripts. Schools have moved to keyboarding skills and it has an impact on learning.










  • The strata is a legal corporation, the bylaws are binding as they are voted on at the AGM.

    We have a no window AC law at our Condo. Reason being:

    • 100 units ruuning these would be noisy as hell in a woodframed unit.
    • dripping water from these units can infiltrate your wall, or damage structure below.
    • walls and windows are common property so it forces strata to maintain damages that aren’t part of the Engineering Report , or not accounted for in Strata Fees.

    You can use an inside portable unit though.

    When we did have the sudden heatwave some people bought the window style anyway, strata recognized it was a health and safety reason and did not issue fines for that year, following years neesed to be proper type.

    Same, heard all the rumblings on how hard to install Arch was, followed the guide one day and installed it without any issues, it was easy for a technical user ( probably hard for somebody coming from Windows GUI only).

    A few things went wonky after an update, and I used the system daily for work; so went back to OpenSUSE where it was always stable, and built in snapahotting just in case.

    If anyone tries OpenSUSE you can make it as minimal as you like during install. The summary menu prior to commiting to install has a software heading, click it and it brings you to patterns to chec/uncheck, from their you can click details and go to a full list of packages, deselect al, then click only the packages you want.






  • As an unrelated side note: One thing that has been interesting is watching genes play out. My daughter smirks like her grandfather, and she has had maybe 5 days exposure to him in her lifetime. And my youngest rubs his feet together when stressed, like a self soothing routine, something his great-grandfather used to do, but he died before my son was born. We like to think we are all about choices and choose to be unique, But some invisible biology still controls things.



  • I swore against having kids-for lots of reasons-, same as my wife. But accidents happened and we became parents. As the cliche goes “it is life changing”.

    It alters who you are and your idea of importance. There was stress, and exhausting times, but now they are adults they are my favourite people :)

    It is a threshold moment situation, if you like your life how it is never have kids. If you have kids your life becomes different. No path is better than the other; just altered.
