Another way to view the problem. You need good visualisation for this. If you did take the job "up north", write down your typical weekday. Write down your typical weekend. Put the times in. 9am I got up to get ready for my train back to xyz. 10am Off to train. etc. Then, do the same for if you...

Get the job offer and use it as leverage for a pay rise. If they won't give you a pay rise, get a comfier office chair plus an extra half hour for your lunch break. Or, ask for more holiday. An extra week please. Or the ability to spend more time from home doing work.

I have a new term we can use on these forums. It was triggered in part due to The_Doc_Man's (correct apostrophe use Bee?) comments about what logo would be good for this site. His recommendation was to have a head with a spigot in the back. I had to Google the word but essentially a spigot is a...

Short article on cloze deletion: https://medium.com/@michaelzabinski/how-to-speed-up-anki-and-supermemo-learning-with-cloze-deletion-20125058c4d9

If you are considering the switch from Anki to SuperMemo, then you might find this article useful: "How I Moved My Anki Collection with Over 50,000 Cards to SuperMemo". It can be found here...

Detailed articles from a previous Anki user on why they now user SuperMemo. A great read. Article #1 "Why I Switched to SuperMemo after Using Anki for Almost 5 Years, with over 50,000 Cards and 420,000 Total Reviews"...

I know where that dream came from. Yesterday, you posted in the "Crowdsourced Decision Making" forum seeking input from others. So, in your dream, these close friends materialised to assist you in which direction to take. Simple!

Lez, since you say you are very happy now, perhaps you can enlighten us about what makes you happy? I started a thread about this, which can be found here: https://themindtavern.com/community/threads/happiness-what-is-it-and-how-can-you-get-it.64/ By sharing your experience, you could perhaps...

I had a weird one this morning. There were two women at the top of this stair climber gym machine looking down on me, as I toiled away one step at a time. One of them I fancied and she kinda liked me but wasn't sure. They kept chatting and I kept walking. At the end, I found I did 42 minutes of...

Or should that be emergency case'?

Really? That is daft! Very popular software.

Shouldn't you have said: apostrophies'?

Have you considered Kanban using something like Trello?

I hope that wasn't a racist slur. Yes, the dreaded apostrophe. I used to get sleepy in English after lunch as a kid. The teachers droning voice sent me in a slumber so I think I missed all of grammer and especially the apostrophe section!

I missed the divided. And then didn't understand anyway. Was my "And" OK this time? Is it capital OK or Ok or is ok ok?

The language is no as common as you think. I remember years ago commenting on something to an American friend I had. I said, "I was taking a shortcut home and came across a pigeon pecking at a fag butt." She replied, "You mean it was pecking at a homosexuals ass?" For those who don't know, fag...

Yes the whole world of stem cell treatments is a very promising one. I can't wait to see what they do with it.

I don't have time to read novels. I did start on The Fountainhead, by Ayn Rand. I found it very complicated! The style of writing was hard to read. But I read something about critics of this "novel", to the extent that they are in fact misunderstanding it. Consider Plato's works. I believe they...

I figured it would be short. Good for those in a hurry.
