The break reminder is just a legal obligation, they can still give you the stink eye when you say you’re taking a break and brag about how long they’ve worked without a break.

As a child of the 80s and former smoker, I actually find the lingering smell of cigarettes in a smoking room super comforting, to the point that if a hotel has a smoking room option I take it.

I keep YouTube videos turned down to 360 for this reason.

I get a strange feeling of vertigo if I see hd content above 30fps. The first time I met friends in a bar that was plastered with big screens playing a football game at 60fps was very uncomfortable.

I paid for an argument!

I’ve seen airline bottles of Johnnie Walker for about $5 around me. I’d spend the $15 on a full sized bottle of Evan Williams, though.

I started taking graphic design classes in the mid 2ks and the amount of my brain that has been squandered making everything look like shiny candy floating in a polished plastic void is disgusting.

Then I learned how to make everything look like it was badly spray stenciled and drug through a post industrial alley so I could really stick it to the man.

This might as well ask, “When were you young and broke and wanted everything you saw in a commercial and then started collecting ridiculous amounts of nostalgia product as soon as you had even a crumb of disposable income.”

Thankfully I didn’t fall for that nonsense.

“Smell once, wash twice.”

I’ve, unfortunately, gotten in to the habit of having YouTube playing on my second screen when doing anything at my computer. Can’t fall asleep without some history documentary playing.

Bad habit on my short list for eradicating.

I want to see if I can find a quality Gateway 2000 decal I can stick on my next laptop so nobody touches it.
