Anyone ever read along to an audio book? I was contemplating it, thinking it may lead to better retention, but have found no concrete evidence either way.
“We found no significant differences in comprehension between reading, listening, or reading and listening simultaneously”
Wondering if anyone has tried it. I know I'm better with visual memories than audio, so why not mix the two?
As most audiobooks are heard during another activity, I wonder if reading along would help focus thought on the subject.
Granted I can't walk my dog and read a book, so I wonder if one would have better luck with any audio if that was the only stimulus experienced.
I've never just sat there and listened to a book, have you?
- I've listened to some non-fiction audiobooks in the past, purely to fall asleep to.
Spaced repetition is 'the best' method for retention - have you looked into?Nairn - I have not. I like the idea. I wonder how I would create check points to review my progress with a marketing book that we are reading as a group.imbecile
- new thought: listen to the book multiple times, hoping each time I garner something new. like watching a movie several times noticing new details.imbecile
- Have a look through here. There were two things in particular I remember liking, but I'll be damned if I can remember which they are..Nairn

- I wouldn’t have the patience to read at the slow speed of speech. If someone is reading something on screen i tend to read ahead and finish it before they doscarabin

What does it mean when an employer says their company “works hard and plays hard” or “works as hard as they play”?
I’ve never seen a company “play hard”, just overwork their employees to the point where what little spare time they have left is spent drinking to cope with the stress.
It’s such a red flag when i see that line
- i work with a company that has this as part of our values, as well as family. strangely enough, i'm happy with themimbecile
- they care more about my mental health than job performance. as far as work / play. They often host events we can attend at will.imbecile
- they've rented the zoo, hosted murder mystery party, reserved a comedy club, internal cook offs.imbecile
- They say / do all the stuff the internet says to run from, but they mean it and our customers love us.imbecile
- i can't even imagine what that's like. all but one of my employers and one mentor have been total shitheadsscarabin
- they host car shows and invite food trucks out as often as they can weather permitting. they believe elevating the community elevates them.imbecile
- I'm fortunate, and I tell them. I feel appreciated as well.imbecile
- example. the book i'm discussing reading was suggested by my boss. he also told me to read it on work time and not feel obligated to do so on my own time.imbecile
- ^coolYakuZoku
- It means they put a football table near the breakout/kitchen area.shapesalad
- Usually they have a 'culture', eg some underworked admin big girl thinks a load of cheesy social crap is fun and YOU MUST attend the summer party etc...shapesalad
- Why does no job ad say this "we are focused on getting rich and retiring early, join us to do the same", as that's what i'm privately trying to do.shapesalad
- means they are swingersautoflavour

My wardrobe is not cocktail party ready.
- "discuss"NBQ00
- Mines is definitely not. Lockdown has seen a few extra inches put on around the waist. Work recently had a party at a posh location, everyone in kilts, suitsmicrokorg
- and cocktail dresses. I had to buy a pair of black trousers from a supermarket clothes dept (cos its what dads do) a few inches larger than the past.microkorg
- A lot of my shirts were now unwearable as too tight around the middle. One was suitable tho.microkorg
- Shoes are my main concern. I hate shiny leather shoes but they are demanded for the event.SimonFFM
- Shopping for formal shoes is the biggest pain in the arse there is. I fucking hate it, they all look cunty.Continuity
- And then there's wearing the fuckers. Blisters. Achilles tendon blisters. Big bloody raw ones.
Fuck that shit, Simon, wear a pair of Chucks.Continuity - Black t-shirt, black jeans, and a pair of black sneakers, and you're done! God' sake, you're an artist, fuck the dress code ;)OBBTKN
- Shoes is the easy part. Just get something simple from Johnston & Murphy or similar. Maybe a nice leather loafer.monospaced
- Don’t wear sneakers. Anyone wwaribn sneakers at cocktail attire is clueless and classless, and frankly comes off as a childish joke.monospaced
- And whatever you do don’t wear jeans and a black T-shirt. You’ve got some silly and very ignorant advice here from people who clearly don’t go out as adults.monospaced
- "go out as adults" - LOL what conformist Kool-Aid have you been drinking?mort_
- Hahaha Mono!!OBBTKN
- wear an ironman costume...neverscared
- wow, mocking someone for dressing appropriately, really coolmonospaced
- He said dress shoes and cocktail attire is required for the event. And jeans with a black t-shirt and sneakers is the most conformist bullshit imaginable.monospaced
- That is, if you're conforming with someone who cannot or will not dress appropriately and wants to be viewed as a childish artist.monospaced
- But yeah, I drank the kool-aid. LOL.monospaced
- fuck you all. i love a decent pair of leather lace up shoes. once worn in they're as comfortable as any shoe. and they'll go with any dress code.hans_glib
- including beachwearhans_glib

- Mono you sound like my dad. He's 80.mort_
- Nice pair of stylish boots looks good and feels good.MHDC
- At least your dad can go to a cocktail party dressed appropriately which clearly you can’t be arsed to do and would rather dress like a conformist hipster douchmonospaced
- My father is in his 70s and dresses like a goddamn classy old dude any man would aspire to match.monospaced
- I ordered leather shoes online as in the shop they didn't have them in my size. So, I'll be good. Bought a new suit as well. Finding a matching tie was easy.SimonFFM

45 years ago this month I went to my first gig, My memories are not too hazy, considering I was 14 but I do remember being impressed by the size of the hall and I had quite a good view. I would return over the years to see Pink Floyd (twice including the first shows of The Wall and Oasis) Queen were underneath a giant crown which lifted up to reveal the band who blazed into Tie Your Mother Down, it was just brilliant!
My abiding memory though is of my Dad taking me and my friend Ilya to our seats and telling us "I'll be back soon" and he didn't return for the rest of the entire gig. However we eventually tracked him down at the bar completely pissed where he confessed he thought "they were rubbish and too bloody loud" cheers dad!
- haha!! great story about Dad... thanks for sharing this <3
I wasn't even a year old yet when this went down.PonyBoy - it was a good job we went down to London on the train, dad was known for driving over the limit - it was the 70'sGardener
- A story worth sharing!nocomply
- Just took my daughter to her first concert. Hoping it has a similar impact on her. Wish It could have been Floyd or Queen though.bogue
- Good times! I saw Pink Floyd w my folks. Would have loved to see Queen.formed
- How are old are you?utopian
- 60 in a few weeks, just got a kitten as an early bd prezzieGardener
- Taking my kids to their first ever concert tomorrow. Not sure it will have the same cultural relevance to them but hopefully they will remember in years to comedee-dubs

my first was David Lee Roth, but my fav of all time was Pink Floyd, Momentary Lapse Tour 88... god it was incredible.exador1 - all hail sylvester!imbecile

look at their fury unleashed against republicans and religion...and megrafician - sorry but in no way I will make peace to some grown up idiots with the emotional control of small pitbullsgrafician
- You project so hard, I feel sorry for you. Strange how you think it’s okay to attack others but when you’re on the receiving end, you don’t understand why?imbecile
- If you support the Republican Party and the child crimes committed by the church, you’re the same level of evil they are. Don’t wonder why no one likes you.imbecile

- you two idiots hate and fight with at least half dozen users around here
Maybe YOU'RE THE PROBLEMS think about that and stop boring usgrafician - typical American pitbulls in heat, always looking for a fightgrafician
- there are a dozens of posts showing and recording unnecessary hatred carried out by a user called grafician.
yeah it's time to shut the fuck up.sted - well how about you tell them to shut the fuck up then :)
I'm coolgrafician - i downvoted this postpango
- oh shiet notes are going again.
https://c.tenor.com/…pango - nah graf, maybe you're just an abrasive, assumptive, histrionic, know-it-all prick who - as already pointed out - projects like a daughterfucker.Nairn
- ^ That just about sums it up.Continuity
- 'Daughterfucker' might've been an unnecessary stretch - I found myself channeling the idea of Trumpian perversion after 'projects'.Nairn
- still calling people idiots like a fucking asshole i see. Just because you’re hated doesn’t mean people are unintelligent. But please be the cunt you are.monospaced
- You seem baffled by your downvotes. You can’t seem to comprehend why it’s happening and your inability to self reflect leads you to silly and wrong conclusions.monospaced
- And if you insist it’s because people are stupid then it will never end. And before you go all fucktard, it’s not me downvtoving.monospaced
- lol exactly posts like these makes me call you an idiot monospaced - YOU don't seem to get things.grafician
- Also @Nairn: chill, your passive aggressive attitude has nothing to do with me, drink some water my friendgrafician
- @Nairn Not to mention who tf takes you seriously after stories like these: https://qbn.com/repl…grafician
- huh, and there's me thinking I was just being aggressive.Nairn
- The 10 people who responded?
It's called humility or perhaps self-depracation. I know that's an entirely alien concept to your ego.Nairn - *deprecation. Your snide totally not passive aggressive remark about my other blog comment recently also completely missed the point of that entire thread.Nairn
- But, obviously, it's not you here who Doesn't Get It. It's ok. We get you. It's pretty easy to.Nairn
- Kudos on managing to get Sted, Monospaced, imbecile and myself all on the same side against you... that's almost noteworthy.Nairn
- Who takes Nairn seriously? We all do. He's a far more respected member of QBN than you will ever be grafician, and that's a fact.Continuity

No wonder this place never grows [up]grafician - @continuity I was here before you...grafician

Sushi is overrated. Change my mind.
- uni = bombYakuZoku
- unagi = bombimbecile
- balabin balabom. your mind is now changed.pango
- Eating sushi more than six times a week can lead to mercury poisoning. Mercury is a heavy metal that can cause severe neurological problems.utopian
- Listeria, salmonella, and tapeworms are just a few risks that could make you consider whether sushi is safe to eat.utopian
- In the United States, there are 2 million illnesses, 23,000 hospitalizations, and 450 deaths every year from eating raw fish.utopian
- Parasites. *shiver*dasohr
- because eating sushi 6 times a week is common...imbecile
- Inedible without soy saucedrgs
- those salmon parasites are brutal, seen tons while in Alaska, Always flash freeze your fish!YakuZoku
- I like the sushi-fusion stuff where they roll up like tempura tuna/yams, drowned in mayo and hot saucemonNom
- what about sushi pizza?pango
- steamed munk-fish liver is bomb tooYakuZoku
- Yes outside of Japan. In Japan it's actually completely different from anything you see in even high end 'sushi' places in LDN/NY. Simple due to ingredients.shapesalad
- And skill/craft. 98% of Sushi in the west is not sushi. Avocado... no NEVER in Japan. You need access to Tsukiji's aquarium to make proper sushi.shapesalad
- Also you need the fishmonger to correctly kill the fish, by running a wire through its spine to maintain freshness. Western caught fish isn't killed correctly.shapesalad
- Also regarding mercury poisoning - the Japanese eat a tonne of seaweed in their diets, guess what that contains? Iodine - hence no mercury poisoning.shapesalad
- We should all up our Iodine intake massively. Super useful. https://www.youtube.…shapesalad
- And sushi-fusion is just carbs with corn syrup ladened sauses. Total junk to eat.shapesalad
- Also sushi isn't raw fish - it's usually cured/aged a little. That's how it originated. It's not a case of get fish out of ocean and start chomping it raw.shapesalad
- Proper sushi shops in Japan - the chefs dedicate their whole lives to it, it takes 15 years to master the rice before allowed onto the fish.shapesalad
- You have balance the humidity of the rice with the rice vinegar and have the proper method to mix it without squashing/breaking the rice. Years to craft it.shapesalad
- Your mind is overrated. Change my sushi.zaq
- 15 yrs? sounds more like a method to control the output of potential competitions. do you only get raise after you move beyond rice?pango
- if you cant master rice in 1-3 yrs... try something else. life is too short for 15 yrs.pango
- Rice can be tricky, I always forget to rinse before cookingdrgs
- fuck that rice shit. give me sashimi any timehans_glib
- I agree. It’s good but it doesn’t get beyond a certain point for me.monospaced
- Apparently japanese sushi will make you slap somebodyscarabin
- it's a japanese tradition to slap the chef as a compliment that he's food is really good.pango

- Did your feet stay on the floor during the fall?scarabin
- Yes my feet stayed on the floor. It just felt like a very very fast, shaky elevator going down.********
- I presume there is some manual safety braking mechanism for such events and that’s what stopped the elevator car before it hit the actual bottom of the shaft********
- And when it stopped, it came to a stop almost instantly, causing my legs to give in and I collapsed to the floor. I’ve been hurt worse skateboarding********
- wow... scary non the less. There's also lifts getting stuck.. for hours, with other people.. when you need a pee...shapesalad
- Good god, that's horrifying. And yeah, they have a mechanical safety clutch that catches if it descends too fast, sounds like what you had happen.garbage

It's Cannes Lions season again, and my entire LlinkedIn feed is saturated with self-congratulatory expressions of pride, ego, humble-brag, and smarminess.

Last night my mom was on a roll and told me over facetime that I was ugly because I hadn't had time to shave in a few days.
I told her that nothing is sweeter to a child's ears than a mother telling them they're ugly.
Happy that through the years I'm getting better at dealing with her constant criticism, and that I can now look at it from a place of humour and wonder.
Bless her heart, her ability to see everything wrong in what I do never ceases to amaze me.- "mom, you're why I'm ugly. Why did you let dad get you pregnant?"imbecile

31 years ago today I went to the 2nd loudest gig in my life, Bossanova in full effect and quite incredible. But the loudest by far though was a few years earlier when Motorhead played their Ace Up Your Sleeve Tour in 1980. They had their Bomber lighting rig/strobes/dry ice and a sheer wall of noise, it was brain melting.
- Glad your brain managed to make it back to solid matter! Loudest gig i've been to was Lightening Bolt and Boredoms at the Scala. My ears are still ringing todayIanbolton
