What Did You Learn Today?

Usually the first question I ask my son when school out and its a serious question. So what did you learn today? I will start this off and simply add one thing you learned today. No need to be embarrassed or shy. So here goes:
I learned that dust on the computer fans affect much more than I assumed. Woke up to a very slow internet connection and the browser would just time out. Phone connects just fine to wi-fi. Now I read before that I should clean the dust from my fan but who really wants to unplug all those connections, right? So I open the back of the thing. Start lightly dusting with a soft brush and lowly behold chunks of dust start popping out from in between the fan blades. I continue just duting away with my little soft brush. Plug it back in and amazingly the speed and connection is even better than before. Monitor is even brighter. I didn't have any air but did manage to get about 99.9 percent off the fan blades and surrounding area. So much quieter too. So what did you learn today?

I learned that the word "always" is bandied about quite a lot....most often, when those kinds of words are used, the statement is false.

also if you own a cat, then your computer will be full of cat hair. and all that will heat up the machine. i should be better about cleaning things. just don't use compressed air unless its static free. i try to use a dust brush, but again same issue.

By reading yet another thread here, I learned that I really, really never want to go head to head in a debate with Mike Savad.

I learned that leopards do NOT change their spots, they just learn to paint over them so you think they have

@Craig I use compressed air to clean the inside of my computer, recommended by computer geeks, yes static free:)

I learned today that no matter how much I wish it, I cannot make a Snowy Owl just appear - had heard that they were in a certain area around Brantford and we had to go there today, my camera was ready for the whole drive there and back and did not see a Snowy but did get a shot of a Hawk, haven't put on computer yet so not sure what kind as yet

I almost learned how to blow a Mother board! Not today, but recently! I often clean out the fans inside my desktop,since they are "AWAYS"(see Marlene) full of dust and of course, cat fur! I have canned air, but ran out once,so I used the small gallon sized shop vac, to suck it out, and worse, the plastic brush on the end too! Luckily, I didn't damage anything, BUT I thought I had! I couldn't turn the computer back on,when I was done with housekeeping. Luckily, I had just dislodged a cable/connector from the power supply. Later, a few weeks later, at the computer store, I was telling the tech and he almost puked! He said NEVER(see Marlene) ever use a vacuum cleaner and especially with a plastic brush attachment!

I learned today that I'm not a good bird photogrpaher and will promise to get back to cars!

Today I learned to never give up hope and don't listen to naysayers. Oh yeah, and to always listen to my gut instincts.

while it wasn't today, learned that if you eat a hot pocket, always make sure it pops before you eat it. otherwise you find out really fast that the steam is volcano hot and will burn you in an instant. as my lip knows and is still healing. a tenth of a second that's it.
