Interesting, but kinda hard to believe that the sounds we hear in the forest could be coming from that high up I'm no expert, but if that's true, that's pretty mind-blowing

Some people can play chess blindfolded. There is a popular method of memorizing which has one visualize the placement of objects in a familiar space. Both of these seem absurd to me, as I can at best conjure a fleeting glimpse of an object in greyscale. When I calculate chess tactics I do so in a manner which seems almost kinesthetic, as if I’m feeling the movements of the pieces, and I have to look at the board while I do it. When I memorize things, like poems or the digits of pi, I just repeat them until each element of the sequence magically evokes the next. There is no visualization.

Some can play the piano blindfolded. Is it also connected?

Was really interested in taking VVIQ. My results: "You have a fairly vivid visual imagination known as phantasia. This indicates an average ability to visualize mental images. When you try to picture something in your mind, you can "see it" with a reasonable level of clarity and detail."

In The Netherlands it is recommended to introduce peanut and egg to babies between 4 and 6 months, to reduce the chances of food allergy.

Didn't know that introducing these foods early in life can help build tolerance

Yo, OP.

That's your third post on HN in two years. All posts are promo, and yet you made not a single comment.

If you are doing a "Show HN", it wouldn't hurt to engage with people a little. Otherwise it looks like a low effort drive-by ad and not much else.

I love to drink my decaf at night sometimes. Do not think I'm the only one.
