I had this problem too. When I was young the subjects I had on a particular year were.. distasteful for the version of me in that year. But now in my 30s I figured out that it was because of misalignment in interest based on my age.

Tl; Dr -

  1. Top-Down approach - skim through the text at a brisk pace and capture the high level themes of each section/paragraph. Then drill down deeper for the second time. Repeat until you are familiar with the topic.
  2. Change perspectives - Imagine you are the person solving a problem in history when some problem/event happened. Works well to pur yourself in somebody else's shoes. Especially useful "unlearning" a lot of things we take for granted in the modern age.
  3. Try to study a subject from multiple sources: Lecture videos from other schools, different professors, different books, summaries from AI.

The main problem is the material needs to be presented to you in a way that aligns with your thought process and frame of mind at a specific point in time.

Expecting a young person to change perspective is very hard: They have a hard time having ONE consistent perspective.. let alone multiple based on the subject at hand. However it's too important to suggest alternatives.

Let's take physics. Try to understand at a high level what the problem statement is and why people invented the math to understand the physical phenomenon they were trying to understand and describe.

Latin: Generally for language it's important to practice speaking and listening to get familiar quickly. Unfortunately for languages like this which is not spoken widely nowadays you have to rely on reading history and associate the language to it somehow.

    I just watched a video the other day about this. Apparently we are not aware what the prion protein does in the brain.. So it would not be wise to destroy all of them. So they made it such that the population of prion proteins reduced to a certain percentage.

    It's also cool that they came up with a solution to bypass a lot of flushing mechanisms in the blood-brain barrier and the CSF (Cerebro-Spinal-Fluid) when injecting the RNA.

    I actually want to say I am sorry for saying that. That was uncalled for. It's not so dumb considering the protections for bank accounts and transactions of cash are more stringent than for bitcoin, and you have the bank's back even with a shitty bank.

    But the fact of the matter is that if the burglers were seasoned it's less likely that they can be traced as it's easy to move money around.

    Title.

    Its an old keyboard and I would like to open it to clean the interior and maybe mod it. There doesn't seem to be any guide on how to open it. I tried opening it by unscrewing the 6 hex screws on the front plate. I guess next step would be to pry the front plate out along with the switches Now, my only concern is that i don't know if this is the correct method.
