I have a completely useless theory that folks who know about world war history have trouble conceptualizing how little other people know about world war history. But I think I'd remember more if it was told in quippy anecdotes like the above.

I completely agree. Say you're in high school or college history class, your teacher is teaching you about World War 2 with the same enthusiasm as this


Your not gonna remember that.

On the flip side, say the teacher walks into class, and he's like, "Alright class, we're gonna learn about Aimo Koivunen today, he did enough meth to make a Floridaman say chill out dude and then spent like 3 days out skiing the Nazis."

Name one person that's not gonna be like

I just discovered that the tweeter drivers in both of my PA speakers (JBL JRX215) are blown. I also found out that the stock drivers are very shoddy and prone to blowing out. I've been very gentle with them, so I guess I'm just cursed. At least that explains why the speakers have been sounding shitty and muffled. I spent money I didn't really have to order some Selenium D220Ti drivers which will hopefully be here before I need them next weekend.... ugh.

I wish I had memorized all the notes/intervals on the fretboard as a kid. I can figure them out, like a luddite would count on fingers, but it would have been nice had I put a lil' effort in when I was younger instead of just playing Pantera and Lamb of God tabs.

I did the same thing but with Tool tabs. Finishing up my degree with a music minor in my 30s did me wonders though.
