Open that bad boy up, it needs some hardware inspection. Check for water damage, dust accumulation, zapped capacitors, loose screws and parts.
Try to get a command prompt going and use the tools like others said.
Math is one of thoses subjects where you both need muscle memory and full conceptual understanding.
Unfortunately there is no skill out there that translates well into giving you that, like geography would to history, english to another language etc.
It requires very deliberate practice, which is painful and effortful, so I understand how hard of an obstacle it is for students out there.
"Given the chance, gamers will optimize out the fun"
This is the same about real life when statistics apply to everything.
This is why I decided to ignore any rule that anyone else would self impose or to others.
You have to realize that the others are not living your life, you are.
Who cares if you arent the best, the brightest, the wisest.
Do what makes you happy. Be silly, be cringe, be angry, be sad.
What matters is that you live a good life by your own standards. The world will dissapear when your conciousness will fade away, so why let numbers, humans, or ideas stand in your way from living the life you would have lived as a cave man, an artist, a farmer or whatever?
Comparaison is the thief of joy. So think less, and live more.
You can reason yourself into despair, or irrationally rise above it. What do you choose?
The real frustrating part is when you understand that extending a geometry still creates the nodes but still work on the project having hundred if not thousands of duplicate nodes absolutely fking your work flow
Would it help if i told you that you are staring at meat?
Sure hes a man, or woman, but first and foremost meat.
Sometimes this meat yells, sometimes this meat looks at you.
But lets all keep in mind, ladies and gentlemen, that any interlocutor be it beast or man is just meat.
You probably cooked meat also, just saying.
So take your time admiring the meat, stare in what it thinks it's soul is in, his personal comfort be damned!
Just dont take this advice as an excuse to dehumanise this person of course, as I heard some meats hold a scary skeleton within.
But hey, you cant see that most of the time, its meatgavanza for now!
Make it clear that your supervisor is trapped in your conversation, not the other way around.
When you have to be professional, be professional.
But the rest of the time, talk about the dirt between the planks of wood at home. Talk about the sedimentation process of your aquarium's gravel. Basically the moste innate and boring topics that no normal human would bring up, repeated ad nauseam.
Make sure to take long pauses just to resume talking. Remember to take your time while monopolizing the conversation trying to find a word your forgot about.
Remember to mispronounce every word, especially if he corrects you but be sure to keep plausible deniability just in case he accuses you of doing it on purpose.
Remember to always blame everything on something that has no connection to it.
Remember to enrich your diet with garlic, to use terrible flavored candy or just skipping a meal for extra word flavor, if you can take the reputation hit.
Remember the magical phrase: "that reminds me of" and all variants of it.
Remember to look into his eyes, and to alternate between them and another part of his face as if something is wrong with it. Keep affirming that everything is alright while staring at that part.
Change the subject. All the time.
Have terribly strong inconsequential opinions and remind about them all the time.
Monopolize the conversation, but make him want to cut you off or talk. I
IMPORTANT : If the other party is silent, state how comfortable you are with this silent friendship.
I meaaaaan what if,
I love animals for their meat, for sustenance but also for giving headpats to said meat.
Is that cognitive dissonance?
(Feel free to ignore)
You can balance flavors if you add the right counter flavor, like something that tastes too much like fat can be balanced with more salt, sugar with more acid, tbh I dont remember the combos as I dont really do things intentionally when I cook anymore but it blew my mind when I first learned about this.
Live way below your means, but still go out and have fun. For cheap. Dont cheap out money or time wise on things that need to last, like education, health, and shoes.
