I’ve got to confess, I have for years been guilty if not reading the documentation. I simply go with the flow and hope it works…

But not anymore! And why the change you may ask? We’ll, I’m reading the f…ing documentation on Rocky linux and I’m just blown away from the amount of great information!

If you’ve been guilty of not reading the documentation, let me me know what changed it for you

If you’re not reading the documentation, this is your time to confess!

    On the other hand, put me into a room with a teacher, who tries to teache me specifics about a tech I don’t care about and I will promise you, I will learn nothing. Even worse, I will start to hate that tech.

    Interesting. I read a lot. Probably tb’s of data per day. I don’t watch tv not even news or weather. It’s not a religious thing and it doesn’t make me holier than thou. I just find that reading is best for me. However, if you hand me a traditional book, I will never crack the binding. Put that same book in a digital format that I can read from my devices, and I’ll read it cover to cover and probably storage the document to read later.

    We’re all kind of quirky and we all have our own optimum way to learn. Mine is usually just screwing shit up until I get it.

      Same for me, no TV for the last 15 years. All I consume is online and about topics I like.

      TBs of data per day? You know how much text fits into 1tb? o.O

      Anyway, we seem to enjoy a pretty similar type of entertainment. For me, it’s all about liking what I do. I can’t stand doing things I dislike at all.

      Lemme ask you about ADHD?! I’m pretty sure I have it but don’t care. I am who I am. How about you?

        Lemme ask you about ADHD?! I’m pretty sure I have it but don’t care. I am who I am. How about you?

        I’ve long been told that I have the tenants of ADHD. When I was a young lad, ADHD was not something that doctors looked for. Then as time progressed and we learned a lot more about ADHD, and two lines of thinking emerged. Either ADHD is a real illness, or it was bunk science. Nowadays, we know a ton more about these kinds of mental maladies and I truly feel that more people than what we realize are on the spectrum.

        I have had a TBI which gifted me a seizure condition as well as other mental/neuro maladies. I’m sure a lot of my issues stem from the TBI as well. It has definitely made drastic changes in how my brain works and sometimes the most simplest of tasks are hard for me to comprehend. However, after falling from 2 stories onto a concrete pad and laying there in a pool of blood for an unknown amount of time before someone found me, I feel quite fortunate to be alive.
