    It drives me crazy they have no visual interpretations to their “videos”. I’m always sitting here DYING to SEE a diagram, equation, or even list because I HEAR new things but can’t “GET” them.

    How does one do a task that "needs" doing but doesnt have a deadline. EXAMPLE: car making funny noise. Or oil needs changing... like I know it is best to adress it early...
