Growing up my dad bought us a dog he named Kitty, a cat named Puppy, and a parrot named Jeff. He taught Jeff how to say Puppy and Kitty's names, which would cause Kitty to freak out and bark constantly. Dad found it hilarious.

Are you a member of the press? No? Try citing something with relevancy. Like say, no expectation of privacy.

I'd prolly go with one of the verispack line for what he listed.

I have a Mongo and love it as my EDC and school/range bag. I also have the Falcon-II which is more of a day bag.

The most racist people I've ever met in my life were black. This means quite a bit considering I grew up in a town with a prevalent KKK population.

Use an A-frame crane to lift it on to a sledge and pull it out. That's if I couldn't leave and bring anything back.

Could someone help me with the different ways people solve problems? I don't know anything about psychology. by DontLetMeCommentin psychology

[–]advicevice 0 points1 point ago

Honestly, I have no idea. I was always taught linear troubleshooting when doing tech support, so that's the basis I assume. Then there's a more critical approach.

I would suggest looking at AI problem solving. There's a book I bought a while ago called AI Game Programming Wisdom (there also appears to be three more editions of it now). It covers a lot of different AI types and what problems they are used to solve. There is tons of literature on AI, which I think reflects how we ourselves solve problems.

You might look into some pathfinding algorithms. There are several different types of solutions and demonstrate different ways of solving said problem.

Generally, for myself, I first question if the problem is the correct one to solve. Is there is in fact a more base issue and the proposed problem is only part of it? After I decide on the problem to be solved I analyze the various resolutions trying to figure out all possible outcomes, even the absurd.

I consider the extremes and the in betweens. Once I have as many possible solutions as I can think of, I eliminate that ones that are unfeasible due to constraints of the situation. Then I work backwards from the solution to the problem. If roadblocks arise in the solution you find a workaround or you consider the next best outcome, until finally you arrive at a solution set.

I find that a lot of my thinking is based on my experience doing technical support and programming. I also work on many different projects that really have nothing to do with programming in my department.
