Depends on the person, heh. Some folks can go several hours without really being bothered by it, some can't. Varies based on the individual, their learning style, surrounding environment, and so on. There's not really a single method that's sure to work for any particular studier.

If you're finding you can't manage a straight hour without getting tired, then don't. Break it up, do smaller sessions more often -- ten minutes here, twenty there, etc. Last I checked there's been a fair number of studies showing that trying to study more than an hour or two actually hurts your information retention and comprehension. Marathon studying may be something you actually want to actively avoid.

Beyond that, try different methods of studying. If you're primarily just reading, do other things -- read out loud, record yourself reading out loud (or your teacher, if you have lectures and they allow it) and play back the information later, write it all out (and possibly translate the material from one format to another -- ferex, when I was doing math heavy work, I'd often do the assignment up in a spreadsheet program instead of trying to work it out on lined paper or whathaveyou), get other people involved (if it's an option), and so on. As an example, one of the things I'd do (surroundings permitting) fairly often with longer sessions was hold conversations (out loud) with myself on the subject in question, pacing back and forth and more or less ranting at myself. It helped with certain subjects. Movement and articulation can do wonders to help with subject engagement, for some people.

Push comes to shove, study until you're tired, take a break/nap and then do it again. It's entirely possible that, for you in particular, there isn't a way to not get tired after extended studying.

The big thing with studying (and learning in general) is there's not a single method that's effective with all people trying to learn -- there's many different methods, and each person is going to use and react to those methods in different ways. If you want to see notable improvement in your studying habits, you'll have to experiment and find out the way you learn most effectively. If you have people around you that you can talk to or sit in on their study sessions, do so -- find out what they're doing and what's working for them, and then try it for yourself.

Democrats are almost as bad about it as well. Election scheduling is a painful issue and Democrats try to keep numbers low on odd years.

Would call the scale of that different, m'self, as well as in part (though only in part -- it's the roughly the same category as having the bloody election day on a weekday, but different from outright preventing people from voting ala vote ID et al "reform") the nature, but if you hadn't caught on, th'folks trying for that can go bugger themselves with improperly maintained cleaning supplies, too.

If Election Day was a national holiday...

S'always been one of the more baldfacedly screwed up parts of our political system that it isn't, really. At some point in the past, someone thought that was a good idea, and through some arcane bumbuggery the rampant stupidity of that hasn't been corrected since.

... can someone remind me about the exact mechanics of bane venom charms? Trying to figure out how you (approximately) track the ruddy things when they're on the move.

It's a stimulant, and that's just how some people react to those, so far as I'm aware. Biology getting amped up makes some folks jittery/nervous.

To the latter... mostly no. Caffeine's one of the weaker commercially available stimulants, s'far as I can recall, so if it's making you jittery pretty much anything else fitting in the same role is likely to be either as bad or worse. Still, could try tea (which is also caffeinated, but usually marginally healthier for you than coffee), could try decaff coffee (which is sometimes not entirely caffeine free, just reduced amounts), could try one of the various herbal things (just go to a vitamin/health shop or somethin' and ask, check the ingredient list for caffeine so you know what to avoid) -- guarana (which contains caffeine :V) and ginsing are common ones, ferexx... could try weaning yourself off caffeine entirely (some people report a general increase in energy after getting off of caffeine dependence/regular use). Healthier living in general can help with that, though that's obviously something more long term than short-term energy supplement.

Mostly, would recommend looking up energy supplements in general and start trying them out. Different folks' biology reacts differently to to different substances, so there's no real way to find what works with you besides experimentation.

... jazz is considered an american thing because the genre was invented in the US. That's where it originated and where it originally popularized. It's not a statement of what nation(s) currently have notable jazz scenes (though the US still produces plenty), just a fact of music history.

Pretty sure some of the TA runs take even less time, even without glitch abuse, heh.

And yeah, is great game. I'd probably say it has one of the -- if not the -- best grappling hook mechanics in pretty much the entirety of the gaming world, even with all the years that have passed since it first came out. They really got it right with that'un. _{which is good, because it's pretty much the entirety of the game's movement mechanics :V}

I swear, you people keep doing this grill tease and meaning something entirely different. It's starting to get goddamn annoying. If you're going to promise a freaking anime grill, give grill and make kebab on it. I'm sure a barbecue pit with pigtails will be a fire hazard from hell, but if that's what you're putting up, damnit, put your cookery where your mouth is.
