>Experiments indicate that the memory of chess masters is tuned to typical game positions. In 13 studies conducted between 1973 and 1996 (the results were compiled in a review article published in 1996), players at various skill levels were shown positions from actual games (a) and positions obtained by randomly shuffling the pieces (b). After observing the positions for 10 seconds or less, the players were asked to reconstruct them from memory. The results (graph at bottom) showed that chess masters (with ratings of 2200 or higher) and grandmasters (generally 2500 or higher) were significantly better than weaker players at recalling the game positions but only marginally better at remembering the random positions. This finely tuned longterm memory appears to be crucial to chess expertise.
Boarding passes used to be on glossy cardstock with preprinted designs and lots of color. Now they're basically thermal printed on receipt paper because it's cheaper.
Depending on your airline and class of travel, sometimes you can still get a nice boarding pass.
I hadn't noticed before but... Please do not recommend that people use "stage-1 features". Maybe if it is your own money, but not if you do it with other people's money.
I've been trying to stay on top of my technology usage. I'd like to move all my electronics out of my bedroom and buy an old fashioned alarm clock. I've heard this is good for sleep and healthy habits and what not
I've been trying to stay off my phone when I'm bored and clean/read/do something productive without technology. I'm glad I had a chance to grow up in the 90's before tech was involved from every waking moment.
It doesn't help that I'm a network admin and I work on my computer all day
