Sometimes after running git stash pop, I get a conflict warning and I want to discard any changes to a file. However, when I try to checkout the file I get an error message. Using reset and then checkout, lets me accomplish this goal.
My wife has to watch some videos as part of an online course. These videos do not have speed controls, however she would like to watch the video at an increased rate (e.g. 1.5x the normal speed).
