TIL The Epic of Gilgamesh is a modern novel.

My mom had a red convertible when I was a kid and we blasted this every time we got in the car.

And yes, that’s what I meant by guessing games. I should note that when I was in school in the 90s we played quite a bit of map games on the first school computers. So anything I know now mostly comes from that.

How I would learn is to continue retaking the map quizzes, for example, until borders start to become familiar and your score increases. Supplement flashcards in between the guessing games. It’s all rote memory, which will be forgotten if not used or put into context somehow. Learning about the regions history while playing a map game of that region can be helpful.

To your fourth point, the only geography I have remembered is due to flashcards and map guessing games. I’ve found understanding a region’s geography first helps ‘locate’ history for me and have a structure to remember it by.

I think it will be difficult to communicate without the bougie roomie going on the defense as they struggle to deal with the internal contradictions. However, discussing how they should contribute to the project and its goals might be an avenue. Also on a general note, I’ve lived in multiple shared house with up to 10 ppl and the best house was the one where we ate dinner together every week night. It wasn’t extremely strict that you be there but each night two of the roommates cooked and another two cleaned. With 10 ppl this worked out well in rotation. With a smaller group every night might be difficult, but the point is that everyone sits and eats together regularly. This gives time for discussion and helps develop community. Also clear responsibilities regarding chores was always helpful the larger the group got.

The sad part is they torn down a bunch of old Berlin Clubs just to build the highway.

Put that shit in space and I’m onboard.

Carbon steel is pretty cost effective and durable
