I have more or less the same problem with my phone at work. I also can't connect my laptop at home at all (but my phone can). I went and asked the IT support at work, and they double checked their wifi, and the wigi of the laptop and it was all fine. They said that a wifi router often just stops working properly after a couple of years, and some deviced just can't connect any more. It's true that my wifi modem is a couple of years old... They essentially told me I needed to get a new wifi router...

Yowza, I bought a new modem last week, so it was fresh on my mind, I didn't want a combination one just in case some component shat out on me, though I do need a new router.

Mine just came "free" with the installation. Installation fee was about $100 ofc, and only involved them switching on the juice...

I do not envy Aussies for their internet and I say that as a Comcast customer whose only alternative is 7mbps down instead of the 50 I get now.

I hope anyone here can answer this

How much information can the human mind absorb and retain ?

I know this is too vague so i will put it in context, lets say I want to read 3 books and retain all or almost all of the information such books contains

should I:
a) read one book at a time or
b) read the 3 books at the same time

and final question: when I learn something new do I forget something that I already knew ? (relates to first question)

I think that differs per person and no one actually knows for sure.

The brain works in mysterious ways.

There is one who can read on page with one eye and the other page with the other eye.



The choice between a and b depends on the individual. I would argue it wouldn't matter in some cases.

Now for my question. Have you heard or ever play TL Mafia?

There you can study unique minds in psychological games. If you are interested, join the community thread and state that Chezinu has brought you there. For greater fame, say you are part of the brown. Or come in the name of the brown.

Informations that can be absorbed and retained are mainly irrevelant anyways. What matters is the brain's capacity to analyse situations to determines problems, and the brain's creativity to resolve these problems. To answer your A/B stuff though, I personally prefer B (up to 3 books, more is messy), but I know it's very personal.

1) A lot.
2) Depends on the books. But ofc not literally at the same time.
3) Doesn't work that way, no.

If this is about something you are actually trying to do in real life, such as studying for exams or something, you will get better help if you explain exactly what your problem is.

If memory is something you are interested in (or you just want a decent read), "Moonwalking with Einstein" is actually pretty good as an introduction to the basics surrounding memory.

I have a very important question that have been preventing me from being a wizard since I was a kid:

I want to magically create an iceball on the left hand and a fireball on the right hand (say, to make the Medoroa incantation for instance).
Due to the symmetry of the problem, let's focus on the right (fire) hand:
Would I...
a) feel a warm/hot sensation due to the heat of the fireball
b) feel a cold sensation because my hand is emitting the energy to create the said fireball, so is even hotter.
c) ???

Is your question asking whether your body is being endothermic or exothermic (or both, split between hands)?

That would be the idea, but I believe my question is not limited to this one.

Asked in an other way:
If I call forth magical powers in anyway and start feeling cold on one hand and warm on the other, on which one would the fireball(/iceball) be created?

It'd of course depend on the physics nature of your magic.
