Salutations.

It is now 1:23AM EST for me.

I am now using the Samsung chromebook. I still have a few issues with it that I will bring to the store that I bought it from. Otherwise, it doesn’t have the problems the laptop I was using has. This is the 1st time I’m using a chromebook. I recently ordered a USB-C to Ethernet adapter to improve my connection speed.

I looked at a few youtube tutorials to show me how to use the chromebook. For example, it has no ‘right click’ button. Therefore, I learned to touch the pad with 2 fingers to initiate the ‘right click’ function.

I’m going to explain a ‘strategy idea’ in this list called ‘Can’t solve effort’. I’ll explain a few ideas before I explain idea ‘Can’t solve effort’ to help prepare you to use it, if you choose to use it. I invented idea ‘Can’t solve effort’ yesterday morning, while I was in the laundromat. In my opinion, for many expectations, idea ‘Can’t solve effort’ is the best idea that I have invented, for category ‘strategy ideas’.

I have an adjustable laptop stand that I purchased from Amazon.com, but they don’t offer it anymore. I added velcro to stick it to the laptop stand. That way, you can just take it off and use it elsewhere. Just be mindful that there’s velcro at the bottom of the laptop when using it elsewhere. Here’s another laptop stand from Amazon.com that looks similar to the one I am using:

WorkEZ Professional Adjustable Laptop Stand for Desk, Adjustable Height Laptop Stand, Portable Foldable Computer Laptop Stand, Aluminum Cooling Laptop Holder Desk, Notebook Laptop Riser for Desk

—

There are other variations from Amazon.com that look like the WorkEZ stand. If you are interested, just compare them.

I noticed from one of the photos, it says ‘Does Not Sit On Your Legs’. Sure, if you are a kid, or you have that type of body build. When I use it while sitting on the couch, it is absolutely sitting on my legs, and I adjusted it accordingly. For example, can you imagine a football player trying to place his legs in between one of these portable laptop stands? I’m just clarifying that people in general can use a portable laptop stand. The way I use it while sitting on the couch, it’s legs are on my legs.

—

I’m going to look for a music video and trailer now for this advice. That should take me about an hour and a half. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.

—

It is now 3:55AM EST for me.

Before I recommend the music video, here is a link from www.bustle.com about it:

‘ In 2022, Billboard picked “A Thousand Years” as one of the 30 best wedding songs ever, alongside classic songs from Whitney Houston, Prince, The Beatles, Beyonce, and Shania Twain. What is the legacy of this song? Why does it resonate?

I’m a huge Twihard by the way, so I wouldn’t mind if it was only the Twilight song. But I really do think that its timelessness will end up being a really emotional representation of loving someone forever, whatever that context is. I think that’s where it’s gonna live on forever, which is crazy. ‘

—

When using the lyrics to the song and music video, for this advice, use it as a wedding song. By intent, that would explain why the lyrics look the way they do.

The music video that I think I watched for the 1st time less than 2 hours ago and recommend for this advice is called ‘A Thousand Years’ by Christina Perri. Here is a quote from wikipedia.org about it:

‘ “A Thousand Years” is a ballad recorded by American singer and songwriter Christina Perri, written by Perri and her producer David Hodges, for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1. The song was released worldwide as a digital download on October 18, 2011 and serves as the second single by Atlantic Records from the movie’s official soundtrack.

On October 26, 2011, she released an official video for the song on her YouTube channel. The video begins with Perri holding a candle. It features a few clips from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 interspersed between scenes with Perri singing in a room with a floor full of candles. Perri ends the video singing into a sunset. ‘

And here is a quote from the lyrics:

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What’s standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

—

I found it by searching in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘music video romance movie soundtracks’, and then I selected ‘Movies Soundtrack Songs. Romance Movie Theme Songs. The publisher is ‘F & T Reviews’. Christina Perri – A Thousand Years [Official Music Video] is #1 out of 100. To watch the music video, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘christina perri thousand’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered. It was published 13 years ago by publisher ‘Christina Perri’ with 2.5B views!

For this list, I recommend that you start watching it 1 minute and 1 second into the music video, just before you see the candles on the floor.

In my opinion, I wasn’t able to find a music video from the usual sources, so then I eventually started looking for music videos that are also in movies. This music video is for the ‘Twilight’ vampire movie. However, it also became a popular song for weddings, according to the review.

—

The tv show trailer that I watched for the 1st time within 2 hours ago and recommend for this advice is called ‘Doctor Who Season 2 | Teaser Trailer’. I found it by selecting publisher ‘Rotten Tomatoes TV’, select ‘Videos’, and I scrolled down and found it. I then searched in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘doctor who season 15 trailer’, and I selected the one from publisher ‘BBC’ published 5 days ago with 55K views.

According to link radiotimes.com:

‘ The BBC hasn’t officially confirmed a release date but we’re expecting Doctor Who season 15 to air in May 2025. ‘

In case you want to know, I noticed while using this Samsung Chromebook that I have to also use the touchscreen to adjust the screen, since it’s slightly moving for some reason.

—

It is now 5:41AM EST for me.

In case you want to know, in order to move the text in the right keying position, I now use the touchscreen on this Chromebook.

Contradict:

Here’s the definition of the word ‘contradict’ that I will use in this list from www.dictionary.com:

‘ to assert the contrary or opposite of; deny directly and categorically. ‘

—

I have been typing in this blog for a certain amount of years now, and as of a week or 2 ago, I would use the word ‘Contradict’ to help me discontinue/stop using certain contemplations, even though I would feel somewhat something about that contemplation. For one example, whether it’s from an experienced instigation, or you were in the process of making an idea, and you are not able to resolve certain aspects of that idea, to stop actively using such contemplations, even though you may feel somewhat certain aspects of the identity of such contemplations, just contemplationally say ‘Contradict’, and that would help you know that, even though you may sense somewhat something about that unresolved contemplation, you would choose to no longer pursue the use of that unresolved contemplation. So, if you are still feeling something about it, such as the inclination that it’s still confusing/perplexing to think about, since you said ‘Contradict’, then such feelings are contradictions to what you have already chosen to do, which is to stop/discontinue such a contemplation.

Since this is a public blog, and that kids could be reading this blog, I think that a very effective illustration example to be used and refurbished for idea ‘Contradict’ is in episode 2.3 ‘The Escape Artist’ from fantasy tv series ‘Dead Like Me(2004)’. Amazon.com has season 2 DVD available as of now for about $30, but you can also watch it for free from the free streaming service ‘Roku’. Just search using the word ‘roku’ from www.google.com, select link ‘The Roku Channel’, search for phrase ‘dead like me’, select it’s icon, select ‘Season 2’, go to the right arrow, select it once, and the episode ‘The Escape Artist’ is there. Here’s a description of that scene from www.imdb.com:

‘ Rube teaches grade school. ‘

—

The quote starts 16 minutes and 55 seconds:

Rube Sofer(Mandy Patinkin): ‘Yes.’

Sara(Julia Tortolano): ‘They all die?’

Rube: ‘What’s your name?’

Sara: ‘Sara.’

Rube: ‘That’s right, Sara, they all die.’

(Rube then said something that the teacher believed was inappropriate for those students to hear. The teacher then indicated to Rube to retract that statement.)

Rube: ‘I’m kidding. I’m kidding.’

(All of the students, after Rube said ‘I’m kidding’, gave a sigh of relief.)

—

So, when all of those students gave that sigh of relief, when they all obviously relaxed, refurbished for advice, that is the reaction I recommend that you use for idea ‘Contradict’, of course, not the only positive illustration example reaction, it’s just that it’s the only one I can think of right now to recommend to you while I am typing. When you contemplationally say ‘Contradict’, even if you still feel somewhat perplexed and confused about the contemplation, even if the experienced instigation gave you an impression of the notion that you can’t completely resolve at that moment, I recommend that you use the option to contemplationally say ‘Contradict’, and even if you still feel somewhat something about the experienced instigation and/or unresolved contemplation, you have decided to stop/discontinue such an unresolved contemplation, for example, identified by the fact that you contemplationally said ‘Contradict’, and such unresolved contemplations are contradictions to what you have already decided to do, which is to stop/discontinue the contemplation.

—

Move attention:

Idea ‘Move attention’ is when an experienced instigation gives you the inclination to unnecessarily and/or excessively move using an impression of attention. For example, a false accusation from a far distance may be construed as encouraging an excessive sense of movement using attention.

—

Can’t solve effort:

In a previous list, I invented an idea called ‘Can’t’, where a boy was given a task, and when the boy couldn’t complete that task, he said to his father ‘I can’t!’, and when he looked at his father at that moment, he was wearing a Merlin costume, with a long white beard. Idea ‘Can’t solve effort’ identifies a resolving of effort that you can’t resolve. In my opinion, this is what I believe happens when an innocent person experiences an instigation identified by idea ‘Can’t solve effort’: Let’s say an instigator causes an innocent person to experience something that the innocent person would be encouraged to resolve. However, the inclination of resolving effort associated with the encouragement to resolve is excessive for that innocent person to handle. The solution that the innocent person pursues is to still try to contemplationally resolve the experience, but with the inclination to believe that, during that moment, the effort to resolve is not something that the innocent person can resolve.

The solution/mitigating treatment I invented for instigations identified by idea ‘Can’t solve effort’ is to allow yourself the possibility, if you choose to, to sense somewhat that excessive/overemphasized inclination effort to resolve that you may not be able to, that you ‘can’t’ resolve, so therefore you choose to not resolve it. In other words, you’re allowing yourself to sense an effort to resolve that you may not be able to resolve, or that you outright can’t resolve, but you’re not using that effort to resolve. It’s like you’re being exposed to something that is obviously perplexing/confusing, but you’re choosing to not resolve such a feeling, such an experience. You’re identifying the experience by contemplationally saying ‘Can’t solve effort’, and you can say it again as an indication that you are allowing yourself to more objectively sense it somewhat, but you are choosing to not resolve it, to not use it, etc.

It is now 7:34AM EST for me.

I just noticed that this new Chromebook’s time was off by 1 hour. I corrected the time that I typed in previous moments in this list by adding 1 hour to the time notations. This is my 1st day using this computer regularly, and I’m getting used to using a Chromebook.

—

If you experience an effort to resolve from an experienced instigation that you can’t resolve, that may make more difficult somewhat for you to commit to your chosen perspective at the time that you experienced the instigation identified by idea ‘Can’t solve effort’. However, if you are able to sense somewhat such an anomaly, and yet choose to not resolve it, then it is the intent of idea ‘Can’t solve effort’ that being able to sense it somewhat in such a context may allow you to continue to commit to your originally chosen perspective.

To help you learn idea ‘Can’t solve effort’, you may refurbish episode 2.14 ‘Five Easy Pieces of Libby’ from comedy fantasy tv series ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch(1998)’. The episode is available for purchase streaming from Amazon.com. If memory serves, Sabrina wasn’t able to maintain interaction with Libby, causing her to find 5 events in Libby’s life, which would allow Sabrina to interact with Libby using a more acceptable, more tolerant perspective. Libby is not obviously presenting such a perspective to Sabrina, but Sabrina is using her newly learned perspective to improve her sense of tolerance and involvement with Libby. Here’s a ‘before’ and ‘after’ illustration quote from that episode from Amazon Video:

9 minutes and 8 seconds:

Sabrina Spellman(Melissa Joan Hart): ‘Okay, enough. Nothing is worth this. I don’t care what happens to me.’

—

about 18 minutes and 39 seconds:

Libby Chessler(Jenna Leigh Green): ‘Well… I would hate for part of the float to look like you did it.’

Libby: ‘Okay, I’ll help.’

Sabrina: ‘Thanks.’

—

Watching the rest of that episode involving Libby recommended.

Let’s look at the ‘bigger picture’ concerning idea ‘Can’t solve effort’. It is my hope that, after explaining it in this blog once, that I will be able to explain it better later. My benefit is your benefit. Even though I could add more to that explanation, my improvement could be used to give you better advice. If you have complaints about me not giving you enough information, in my opinion, ‘the glass is also half full’, since my improvements could be used to give you better advice. I know that I said in the past that ‘this is just advice to me’, meaning for example that I should not comment as to how you use these ideas. I’m just informing you. If you choose to take these ideas, then it’s your ideas. I’m just helping you make a more informed decision.

And to repeat myself, I invented idea ‘Can’t solve effort’ this past Monday morning, 12/31/2024, while I was in the laundromat. What I didn’t say was that, after I came back from the laundromat, I went to the supermarket to do some grocery shopping, and that was where I actively used idea ‘Can’t solve effort’ for the 2nd time, the 1st time while I was in the laundromat, but the 2nd time there were a lot more people. In my opinion, I already ‘beta tested’ the idea for you. It’s a good idea! That was also yesterday morning.

In case you want to know, even though I’m learning to use this Chromebook, because of the difficulties I was having with the laptop that was breaking apart, which was why I purchased this Chromebook to begin with, I feel relieved as I am using this Chromebook. The laptop still works, but you can’t use it on a portable laptop stand. For example, it would turn off periodically, and the hinges were loose. In my opinion, it was falling apart as I was using it, and there were many interruptions as I was typing on it using a laptop holder. I feel a lot of relief as I am using this Chromebook, in case you want to know.

—

It is now 8:12AM EST for me.

I am going to close this list now. I will make a new list in the preferred scheduled time, Monday night, 1/6/2025, at 7:00PM EST, unless I change my mind again. I was looking at a few links that I found concerning Japanese anime coming out in January, and there seems to be an explosion of new episodes. I’m looking forward to that. I tend to make new ideas sometime between now and Monday night, so it’s possible that I’ll type a few of those new ideas in this coming Monday night.

So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.
