Theodore Roosevelt could read several hundred page books every night in a few hours and have all the information on total recall …from what I’ve read. Apparently he would impress world leaders by studying their entire culture before meeting and it allowed him to deeply connect with them. My grandfather was the same way.
I wish I was that lucky but my brain doesn’t work like that
A buddy called me to fix some plumbing in a house he baught , he said the previous owners were hoarders. So I went over and the whole fucking basement was wall to wall book shelves with fucking isles!
He said the lady that owned the house was some eccentric type that hung out in NY back in the 50’s around artists and writers, traveling the world etc. her husband was some sort of critic and they liked books.
I asked what he was doing with it all and he said he sold the contents of the house sight unseen to some guy that wanted it all and was going to be arriving any minute but if I wanted anything to take it now. My brain was scrambling, I didn’t want to be a dick so I just grabbed two books; Tropic of Cancer and Future Shock ( and a bunch of lab equipment that was in a secretive back room lol). They were both first edition books and had newspaper clippings about Miller and Toffler among other reviews that were stuffed in the pages.
It was crazy because they had so much bad ass shit , old leather bound stuff etc. It was just too much to process and I hope it didn’t all wind up in a dumpster. I wish I could have spent a few days pillaging those shelves.
My brain keeps locking up. I think I know what it does say and I think I know what it is supposed to say but I literally cannot separate the two. It’s like a radio stuck between stations

I am a bozo when it comes to these things 😂
AoxoMoxoA@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•For a bathroom sink, is it acceptable to angle a P Trap arm downwards, in order to give more clearance underneath?1·1 day agoIf is is not carrying solids i agree but the problem would be going beyond the acceptable tollerances of the mechanical joints and glue joints of the fittings.
I have seen too many times something that is forced cause major damage. The cabinetry looks nice and rather than take the time while it is not at the point of no return to make it correct would be foolish. Sometimes you need to drop back and punt 🤷♂️
AoxoMoxoA@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Why a professor of fascism left the US: ‘The lesson of 1933 is – you get out’1·1 day agoI could never leave until every other person I know that wanted to get out makes it out. I couldn’t live with myself knowing I was strong enough to help people that got stuck dealing with whatever bull shit scenario is coming down the line. I truly hope that people that know they can’t handle it do make it out safe because it is surely going to get crazier than any other time in recent history … at least that people in the west have had to deal with.
People are going to need their cars, houses and anything else they can keep alive up and running.
Just be prepared to not rat anyone out !
AoxoMoxoA@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•For a bathroom sink, is it acceptable to angle a P Trap arm downwards, in order to give more clearance underneath?3·2 days agoYou need to either open up the wall in that bathroom or on the other side and rough the sanitary line in at the proper height. Don’t fuck around and try to reinvent the wheel when it comes to plumbing, it never works. This shit was figured out long before we got on earth by far more intelligent people than we will ever be
AoxoMoxoA@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•'Arrest me': California's governor unfazed by threats of arrest from Trump administration official1·9 days agoI remember that and even as a teenager it drove me nuts because that is exactly what his entire news slot was …him , bloviating. Fuck that guy
Ahh , I see , i still have no clue 😅. But at least the acronyms are kind of giving me an idea. Thanks !
So these are not like a physical 1 terabyte external storage thingy that I’ve seen on ebay etc.? Would one of those external drives work for backing up physical media collections, or are they a bad idea? Is that considered NAS?
I’m sorry I don’t understand any of this stuff , I really should. I will check out the RAID wiki !
What the hell is RAID and NAS ? I have a bad ass DvD collection to the tune of 3k films ( no pineapple express bull shit ) that I’ve been wanting to back up. I don’t know shit about computers but have a 2014 MacBook pro with a disk drive that has never been online just used to watch movies when the power is out and to load my cd collection to mp3 players.
Help me out here !!!
She probably gets a couple softball questions right from time to time :
🗣 " Today is Thursday, right?"
