The beginners dilemma

You know how you can be stuck on a code bug, get up for a break and see what you didn't when you get back? That is precisely because of fixation where the conscious "knows" the lines are right even when they're not.
If you get too good at focus it takes longer breaks to shake it off. And yes, that can get worse.

It's the elves (or not)...

Hi, you need to goto a place called the SHIRE, find a big guy called GANDOLF and lttle guy, FRODO, they will get your elves for you, may take a while though, it involves a ring I hear.

(Don't be surprised if they look familiar to you, actors they get everywhere...... :~)

Tom.......(Not far from the SHIRE except for a little bit of water called "The Tasman Sea".. :slight_smile:

Hi, I won't be digging in my back yard, if I go right through to the other side of the earth I'd come out in the middle of the North Atlantic.

Tom..... :slight_smile:

That's a shame - the usual advice in response to the question "When should I stop digging down?" is "When you smell feet".

It gets kind of hot long before that. I knew some coal miners. The way it's described, I wouldn't be surprised to see graffiti saying "Dante was here".
