Thanks! I'm in the same boat as OP, and didn't want to create a Disney account. Using my Hulu credentials worked. tf don't they say that?
"Hey, doc, ganja come here for a minute? Don't want to get too into the weeds, but I've got a chronic issue I'd like to discuss before you leaf. Thanks, Bud."
In my first film class, the teacher had three rules: no guns, no violence against women, and no scenes shot in the graveyard on 9th St. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I remember arguing about this with my dad in 7th grade. It's legit a core memory. I would listen to music while doing algebra homework. I had some trouble with algebra in the beginning, so this was an issue being focused on. My dad tried to tell me the music was part of my problem -- like I wasn't taking the work seriously. I was like, " no, it's helping!"
I couldn't explain it at the time, but now I look at it like this: the music distracts the part of my brain that would otherwise wander, allowing the other 90% of my brain to focus on the task at hand. I wish I could have explained that at the time. It was a big fight.
I went through the same thing. I Googled and Googled and even Binged thinking "this can't possibly be normal." Every search result I ever found was "toddlers, amirite?"
Mine settled down around 4.5.
And if I may offer unsolicited advice, the only thing I know about parenting is that they copy everything you do. So all you have to do is stay calm, and thereby model staying calm in a storm. There's probably some other stuff about you being safe for the kid to lose control around, building trust that will pay dividends later and whatnot. But I don't know any of that. I just know they always copy what you do, sooner or later.
This is the internet we were promised.

I must have been in a different part of the country than everyone here, because the answer is Packard Bell, Packard Bell, and Packard Bell.
There is no better way to learn something than to teach it. You are not wasting anyone's time.
I literally made a student film in 1999 about two assassins that has a twist ending in the form a final scene that occurs chronologically before the rest of the film. As was the style at the time.

This scene from Wargames is relevant to your interests.
Bruce Schneier has a great story about this.
Our variation of the Kobayashi Maru utilized a deliberately unfair exam—write the first 100 digits of pi (3.14159…) from memory and took place in the pilot offering of a governmental cyber warfare course. The topic of the test itself was somewhat arbitrary; we only sought a scenario that would be too challenging to meet through traditional studying. By design, students were given little advance warning for the exam. Insurrection immediately followed. Why were we giving them such an unfair exam? What conceivable purpose would it serve? Now that we had their attention, we informed the class that we had no expectation that they would actually memorize the digits of pi, we expected them to cheat. How they chose to cheat was entirely up to the student. Collaborative cheating was also encouraged, but importantly, students would fail the exam if caught.
...
Students took diverse approaches to cheating, and of the 20 students in the course, none were caught. One student used his Mandarin Chinese skills to hide the answers. Another built a small PowerPoint presentation consisting of three slides (all black slide, digits of pi slide, all black slide). The idea being that the student could flip to the answer when the proctor wasn’t looking and easily flip forwards or backward to a blank screen to hide the answer. Several students chose to hide answers on a slip of paper under the keyboards on their desks. One student hand wrote the answers on a blank sheet of paper (in advance) and simply turned it in, exploiting the fact that we didn’t pass out a formal exam sheet. Another just memorized the first ten digits of pi and randomly filled in the rest, assuming the instructors would be too lazy to
check every digit. His assumption was correct.

I have two thoughts re taking notes by hand: Panda Planner and Bullet Journal.
Panda Planner https://pandaplanner.com/ is great because nothing is pre-numbered/labeled, so if you stop using it for a week (or three months), you haven't wasted any money and you don't have to buy a new one -- just pick it back up and start again.
There's also a Bullet Journal, which you can create with any notebook. I haven't tried the Bullet Journal yet, but it seems like a good option. If I weren't already using Panda Planner, I would try it. https://youtu.be/jkZEEQG6IVE?si=aKQnqLpCKS9kvCiA
As for digital, it sounds like you just want Evernote, no? I'm sure there are limitless alternatives, but that's what I use. Put the app on your phone, and log into it on any computer you use, and you always have a device nearby to record an idea. https://evernote.com/
Full disclosure: I use my Panda Planner for scheduling and to-dos, and I keep a separate graph paper notebook for longer form stuff, like meeting notes. Evernote is for creative ideas and for recording information that I want to essentially keep forever -- longer than the life of any notebook or planner.
Thanks for commenting. 6 years later and I just installed it -- it's great!
I scrolled way too far to find this. I refuse to google it. I am comfortable with ignorance on this one.
Follow your instincts! I tried to read the book a number of years ago and couldn't finish it. I found it darker and more disturbing than the movie. It wasn't fun to read, at all.
Edit: typo
This! I only saw the movie one time and I still quote it.
The editor did not understand the assignment.
Thanks for posting. I have an old Logitech F310 gamepad that I was trying to get working on Fedora 37, and this did it for me.
Wargames (1983). At the time of this commenting, there are 1500 comments, and no mention of Wargames. Check and mate.
