I had fun reading the answers and replies from the last "Superpower" SBI giveaway, lots of interesting powers that were being wished for, but most importantly, lots of thought about how with power comes potential downsides and unexpected consequences. It's not always an easy thing to have complete power over something or someone....

Anyway, this week sees me writing this from sunny England! I'm on holiday! It's pretty hard to find time where the kids are free, and both my wife and I are also free at the same time... ahhh, the joys of freelance life!

Travelling together as a family often can bring out the best and worst in each other! Especially during the packing stage....

Anyway, my wife and I are good at different things... stuff that she finds easy, I find quite tricky... and vice versa! And so it goes, that at some point, one of us will say in pure exasperation... "I've shown you how to do this before..."!

My Questions

My questions this week for a valid entry into the contest are:

1. What is something that you've shown someone else (spouse, workmate...) how to do multiple times and they still don't get it?

2. What is something that you've been shown multiple times how to do, but you still don't remember!

My Sample Answer

Well, I've shown my wife how to do anything vaguely technology orientated a million times now, and she still keeps forgetting. For instance, I've shown her how the password manager works, and how to generate and recover passwords, but somehow, I find that she changes login details of various services and manages to lock herself out! Or another example is how her phone camera keeps changing settings (apparently via evil phone gremlins), and I've shown her how to change them back to the default auto settings. At one point we had about a month of completely blue photos from her phone, while she tried to figure out how to do it without asking me!

On the flip side, she has shown me a million times how to make the bed properly! Then when I try (with her watching me), the gremlins that normally inhabit her phone jump over to the bed and nothing I do can make the bedsheets stay in the right place! Navigating technology is much easier than wrangling bedsheets... Another example, is looking for things. She will always be able to find stuff, and I seem incapable of finding things that have been misplaced. She tells me that she's shown me a billion times how to look for things, but somehow, I look for days and then she finds it within the first hour of looking (I'm starting to suspect she's hiding stuff deliberately!).

Rules

1. Upvote if you want, it increases the payout and then I can hopefully sponsor more people.
2. Resteem is NOT neccessary, but the more people see this, the more the people will be likely to be sponsored.
3. In the comments, tell me your thoughts about my questions about Things that you've explained before!
4. I have added a small Steem-Bounty to the post, so that everyone who replies with a valid entry will get something back. If I give your post a small upvote, it is valid (also, subscribe to @dustsweeper for maximum benefit!).
5. I will be sponsoring as many people as this post pays out in liquid SBD/STEEM. Also I will kick in at least the required amount to round up to the full number. Winner is by random generator after a shortlisting of quality comments!

Steem Basic Income

One of the first communities that I came in contact with at the beginning of my time at Steemit was @steembasicincome. As a beginning author, Steemit can be a daunting place. It feels like you are posting into an abyss with no ability to grow. Steem Basic Income gives you a guaranteed vote on one post a day, thus giving you a small but cumulative over time support to your account.

With this post, I want to help sponsor people who might not even have the spare 1 STEEM that is required for registration. So, when this post pays out, I will sponsor people depending on the payout of this post. Basically, I will round up the SBD payout from this post and then that will be the number of people I will sponsor. (So, if the payout is 2.3 SBD, I will sponsor 3 people).

Last week's winners

The last post paid out 0.000 SBD and 1.074 STEEM in liquid earnings. So, that would make 2 shares.

The winners by random draw are:
