WHAT’S A SKILL THAT TAKES ONLY A FEW WEEKS TO LEARN? What’s a skill that takes only a few weeks to learn but could change your life? What the internet said…
• First aid and CPR. It would change someone else’s life far more compared to your own, but that someone could be a friend or relative making it life-changing for yourself as well.
• Sewing and mending.
• Budgeting. Make sure you know where your hard earned cash really goes to.
• Maybe not drastically change your life, but anyone can learn to type properly in just a few weeks.
• Juggling. It’s not about learning to juggle, it’s about training your subconscious (cerebellum really) to catch things that you’re barely aware of.
• Swimming. Pretty much the number one skill to prevent an accidental death.
• Saying “no” without over-explaining or feeling guilty.
IS IT OK TO EAT SNOW? _ Is it OK to eat snow? Anne Nolin, a professor at University of Nevada, Reno says: “Everyone should eat snow because it’s really fun.” Nolin, who studies snow and ice in the climate system, says most snow is just as clean as any drinking water. To make their way from a cloud to the ground, cold water molecules have to cling to particles of dust or pollen to form the ice crystals that then grow into snowflakes in a process called deposition. These, Nolin points out, are the same tiny particles we normally breathe. Plus, as snowflakes fall, they have a harder time picking up soot and other air pollutants than raindrops, which are better at picking up these particulates.
… Once the snow is on the ground, it stays clean until other things land on top of it. So if you’re planning to eat snow, eat it fresh.
