It's possible there is someone or a video who can show you though I came up with it myself in leu of spinning it so I don't personally have any sources.

I can give you a written explanation though!

Step one: Hold the Pen as you normally would

Step two: Get the rubber pen grip (or associated area, roughly 1/3 the length from the tip) onto the knuckle at your finger tip or just in front of it (towards the tip of your finger). This should have your finger in a C position which should put you pretty close to a flick position.

Step 3: Put your thumb in front of the tip of your finger and apply counter pressure between your fingers (ready to flick)

Step 4: Release your restrained middle finger causing your finger to flick and sending the pen up in a flipping motion.

Notable: If the pen flys forward try adjusting how forward or backwards the pen sits on your knuckle (I.E. 1/3, 1/4 etc.). Same if the flip is too speedy or slow.

Adjusting your wrist or moving your hand up to start with some momentum can be useful when learning.

Consistency is hard but you'll get the feel in time

I could never spin a pen around my thumb so instead I learned how to "flick" it, have it do a flip and land back in my hand.

I can also rapidly place two strips of tape on one another with no bubbles and parallel enough you'd think it's one piece. However I can only do this vertically

The fact that there is something in there with credibility makes it further a mystery to me.

The voynich manuscript. It's so wild and interesting, a complete mystery too

The guess I have for myself would be 1-2 months. I have very few obligations, my work would probably call and email that I'm laid off, my family doesn't tend to hear from me except a couple times a year and it's not uncommon for me to go weeks or a month+ without interacting with my friends.

I live alone, no pets, so I'd probably start stinking before the apartment complex comes in to figure it out

A personal mystery for me is why I changed? As a young kid/toddler the depictions of me and stories are just absurdly wildly different of a personality. Very similar to the personality my sibling has. At some point around the age of 5 or 6 I just did a 180°. I was a fearless, extroverted, charismatic toddler and suddenly became an introverted, quiet, bookreading shut in.

I wasn't sad or depressed or anything and I still did do stuff and had fun, but it was not in line with before

There's a smaller publishing company for small time authors in Florida (if the company is still around) Called witching hour publishing. Their whole schtick is to make publishing cheaper and easier for small time writers. Check it out, might be worth it if you are gonna be prolific.

Yes, those dreams hurt reality so badly. The sense of loss when you wake is pretty aggressive if you already lack a good connection with someone.

Had a dream like that years ago, I still remember it quite well

Haha, yes, I was trying to be funny by implying that you were telling me to sleep with blind people and find people who gives oral

Sure, you can absolutely do that. That being said, you can literally buy degrees, you can also scrape by and learn nothing and still wind up with a degree. If an adult cant perform their job unsupervised than they aren't a good candidate regardless.

If someone maintains a job it shows that they can at least do what is required to not get fired which means some kind of work performance is done. You can't just show up with a tie and do nothing, if you can than the business itself has problems. My whole point is only that degrees are way overvalued over other means, and you made my exact point. Discounting hundreds of people who could have more direct knowledge on what you're doing over someone who could have never touched a live process because of a piece of paper.

You're just cheating yourself out of good candidates because you feel the process is too hard, which overall hurts the business.

Done as needed, or as mood strikes. Generally everything stays clean, if not, the pressure and annoyance builts until it gets completed. Repeat.

Routines like that do not exist in my household

I don't mind, rather, I enjoy dark humor, just not when it's thinly veiled actual beliefs. It's more supposed to be a way to show the absurdity of legitimate problems or be a easier way to broach tough topics.

Is this instructions and information or.....?

Where did you find such hate? The British museum??

So can a resume, or work history

Aye, you aren't wrong, that's my whole point though, in the end, it's just one entity vouching for the other. While school can have some standardization I've met enough people from schools with paper in hand that I would never have thought competent enough to weild that paper. So why is this one entity have so much more sway than others? I'm simply saying all the options should be considered and not hard locked off because that paper doesn't exist.

For instance, I have an older family member who's an OG senior program engineer with a resume that is just astoundingly impressive. No doubt most people who've had a computer would recognize their work. Like, sincerely impressive. They struggled to find a job for 4-5 years because they lacked a programming degree.

I don't disagree with degrees as a method, I disagree with using them as a universal, only way method. I, myself, am not a degree weilding graduate but I did work my way up through sheer knowledge. It was a heck of a struggle that took a long, long time. I feel others should be able to do what I did with lower thresholds to jobs if they know their work. Trial periods, internships, contract work, and job competency testing should be reasonable options when hiring, regardless of what entity backs them.

That's just, people doing zombies? Or zombies doing zombies?

Either way, gotta be related to necrophilia right?

I'm a firm believer that as long as you can show you knowledge and can accomplish the job, the piece of paper is unnecessary. It's also why I think apprentiships should be more of a thing again. Degrees are a very modern thing that while a very useful tool, isn't being used right.

I think I believe that it's all the brain. You can change someone's personality entirely through accidental injury or intentional damage/medication.

And existence is just all chance. I used to desire more from everything but now I think humans are just another animal who developed a different evolutionary strategy and life is merely another means for entropy. Not to say it's not unique, but the value of it is only what we determine it is to ourselves.
