I found this to be a fairly clear and informative read, especially in the way the main points were presented without making the subject feel overly complicated. While looking through related sources, I also came across https://norskautanlicens.com which gave me another point of reference on the broader topic. Overall, the different approaches to explaining these subjects can be useful when trying to get a more complete picture.
Tried Bubble Word Jam after seeing people talk about it, and now I get the appeal. It is a word association puzzle where you drag bubbles into categories and merge the correct words before your moves run out. I kept playing because it is relaxing, clever, and just sneaky enough to keep my ego involved.
A simple pig puzzle should not have made me this competitive, but pixel flow did. The colored pigs only clear the same colored pixel blocks, and the board opens up layer by layer. You have to save room in the waiting slots for awkward colors. I kept playing because there’s always that one level where you know you can fix the order on the next try.
I’m reading Greg Olsens book, why won’t Kathy leave ??
Why did kathy stay with shelley? Why she was so submissive and didn't defend herself?
