Remember folks, spring back then fall forward.

I made this 8 years ago as a joke, this week I couldn't remember what was real!

This is the power of #mnemonics & catchy slogans.

FALSE ones can be more powerful than the truth.

If you've done any assembly language programming, especially on the C64 certain hex numbers stay in your mind forever.

I have a set of these floating in my Hex Memory Matrix which pop up under various circumstances.

I loved writing to the display on the VIC IC with the ROM routines. Logical that that Hex address is in the upper range of the hex matrix. The same with writing to the SID chip.

You are absolutely right
When someone sits on a system with just an assembler and schematics to the ROM routines to program a device they will appreciate how much that amount of space is

Please help me find examples of truthiness lacking _loci_ or *identity* mnemonics.
As an example of truthiness, consider this response a question about a certain election:
"I think that *Donald Trump and I* have both raised a number of issues with the _2020 election_, but *we're* focused on the _future_. *I* think there's an obsession _here_ with focusing on 2020 — *I'm* much more worried about what happened after 2020, which is a wide open _border_" - JD V

If anyone, like me, struggles with remembering Albertosaurus versus Edmontosaurus, (one is a carnivore, one is a plant eater)

I just thought of a mnemonic:

Albertosaurus, like Queen Victoria, had a ravenous appetite. Albertosaurus for meat, Queen Victoria for Empires.

(Queen Victoria was, of course, married to Prince Albert.)

On the topic of #mnemonics here is an udderly good one.

Japanese Word Of The Day
無作法 'busahou' - ill-mannered, rude

I like this word because the kanji are literally 'un-manners' and because I can remember it because it kind of sounds like "busu 'ho" 😛

Handy mnemonic for remembering the names of the Great Lakes:
“Lisa Likes Licking Lettuce Lightly”
Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario

Eww, I came up with a disgusting mnemonic for a word, and now it's stuck in my brain :neofox_googly_shocked:

Another silly mnemonic:

You stand on your “feet.” That EE in the middle also is a shoe width that I can sometimes squeeze into. A “feat” is an achievement, related to the word “fact.” Getting an A in class can be quite a feat. #words #spelling #mnemonics

Their blades crossed and uncrossed as the two circled each other, snow clinging to their coats as it blew in sideways at them.
It was quiet except for the carols playing in the church yard.
Well, kinda.
"Stop, think, observe, plan."
"Serious? #mnemonics, dude."
Carl smiled, "I told you, I never fight without a plan."
Dave just laughed.
"What?"
"Well, it's just hard to take a threat on my life seriously, when they use the dumbest mnemonic ever."
"But-"
"S.T.O.P, has stop in it!"
