Writing by hand is good for your brain

> I’m not an expert on how the brain works, but I can say that,

Aaaaaand time to tune out.

Decent article.

No notes.

More like old habits go hard - heh

Remember when serious debugging meant at least an inch of greenbar?

As another fountain pen aficionado, it's reassuring to see that Neal's handwriting is as bad as mine.

Another article from that substack.com - this website has terrible UI, please stop using it. And I noticed that usually if an author uses substack - the article quality is bad.

Regarding the topic - "more brain activity/connectivity" does not automatically prove better long-term intelligence or brain health.

Great!

HN should add downvote option.

everything by hand is good for the brain! writing of course, but inducting a younger person working the till, into the dance of correct change, or an aproximation that leaves them with a float, and/or not getting a pocket full of coin, and watching the light go on as they activly get into the game of useing simple math in a practicle way for the first time, big grins all round, or some few mildly enraged and uncertain as to what just happened, this bieng a common experience as I use cash for most of my personal expendature, which more recently is getting comments from other customers and employees, but I like it, pay and be done. I also dabble in scrap and precious metals, back woods deals for a wide variety of primary building materials, supplys, feed, manufacturing equipment,etc, which is all done with cash, live, right now, on your feet, make a deal, be good with it, done and on to other things.

Always boggles my mind that some people can't write cursive. So you write each letter one by one?
