      Looks like an interesting piece, but there's a paywall. Is there any option for a gift link?

          The multiplication table is worth remembering.
          A few phone/ID/account numbers and passwords are probably worth remembering.
          Where I last parked, where I last placed my wallet/keys, sure.

          I don’t remember much of any commencement speech. :man-shrugging:
