Re: ...the problem is I don't trust Schröder n/t (none / 0)

Could depend on how many you need and how often. I need áéíóöőúüű in Hungarian, so a decade ago when Hungarian keyboards weren't yet available on most PCs (and on all at the university), I did memorise the codes without problem. After just short use, I could use them without thinking, my hands did it automatically. (But by now I forgot half of it...)

A meditation semi-guru I knew in Sri Lanka once told me, I quote:

"Bliss is waking up in the morning and not remembering what you did the day before."

I quote him anytime someone complains that I should remember the physics and maths I once learned.

The more math/physics you know the less you need to remember. Maybe you didn't learn enough ;-)

guaranteed to evoke a violent reaction from police is to challenge their right to "define the situation." --- David Graeber citing Marc Cooper

I'm not sure if I'd call that bliss. In my experience, those kinds of mornings are usually associated with a splitting headache.

The fact is that what we're experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. -Paul Krugman
