I am not familiar with large-scale bulk distribution; I am a small-time occasional reseller.

My friend introduced me to this opportunity to help him and his brother sell their suitcase brand internationally, which is currently only being distributed in the Netherlands. They already have established businesses and are just expanding.

So the kind of distribution I want to understand how to do is bulk selling (containers worth), rather than an e-commerce pipeline/D2C.

I have not engaged in import/export on this scale or with these contacts, so any advice or guidance would be very helpful, and I will return the favour.

I am good at imagining things physically.
But when I learn abstract concepts like logic or problem solving, it can get hard.

Feels like my mind goes empty, and I'm trying hard to squeeze a thought or force my brain to make some type of scaffolding/connecion to help construct whatever logic or abstract concept I am trying to learn.

Most of the time, it's like 80% endless squeezing/forcing my brain to think or scaffold the concept, and 20% real useful output.

I hate having this cos it takes me a really long time to learn maths cos I am trying to intuitively understand the topic.

People say, "Oh, you just need to visually represent the concept", but here lies the problem: this very statement is teleological cos I need to understand the abstract concept first to indeed know how to visualise it. This is why I found statistics very hard. I can't come up with the visualisation myself due to this very reason unless someone who knows it shows it to me.

I feel like people who are good with logic dont think in this way, how do they think?

To keep a long story short I only really ever intentionally started mathematics from year 11 to year 13 (UK system), and so during this period I actually put an effort in maths and I found my mental maths to get unintentionally by doing regular algebra and calculus maths questions and I would myself finding innovative or idiosyncratic ways of calculating.

However, since starting university, the amount that I use maths is heavily aided so the pressure for calculating mentally is severely atrophied.

I want to continue developing these creative idiosyncratic methods of doing mental maths. I was wondering what is the best way of going about learning these and practising these methods in a progressive manner that I can track (not methods like abacus), cause right now all I do is arithmetic zetamac and calculate prices in my head.

Everyone that I know around me that are very good at mental maths have been practising maths in some form intentionally at advanced stages from when they were young and so they built these systems up for a very long time.

I occasionally get horrible Wi-Fi on my laptop even though my phone and my iPad get good Wi-Fi so for example if I’m in a certain part of the building like the common room or the computer room of my university accommodation the Wi-Fi just drops out or doesn’t work at all.

I don’t know if this is a notorious problem with my laptop and its Wi-Fi card but if could anyone could’ve suggest a good Wi-Fi card I could replace on my laptop that is somewhat cheap as well. I would greatly appreciate it.

I have done the classic fixes of updating my drivers as well as putting my Wi-Fi settings on 5 gigahertz
