I intend to print out my favourite porno, frame by frame, then flip-book it. That should get me through a few months without power.

Same, working from home increased my productivity by a ridiculous amount. I get to sleep more, I take care of chores during my lunch, I eat and drink better, I don’t have people talking at me all day, I have better equipment at home, a comfier setup, etc. I have sod all self control and will banter with people endlessly in the office but, left alone, I will just work non-stop, taking breaks when I feel my brain starting to burn out. I get more done in a day than most get done in a week.

I love working from home and if they ever drag me back to the office, I intend to be an insufferable prick from clock-in to clock-out.

One thing I love about Redout 2 is they removed all the power ups from the first one and just made it a racing game. You can modify the ship’s cosmetics and performance parts to suit your play style, balancing speed, boost, handling, etc, and the sense of speed is amazing, highly recommend it for fellow Wipeout fans.

My dad told me all the time as a kid and I didn’t listen because “earplugs aren’t cool, I wanna hear the band maaaaaaan”. I was le dumb.

Now I have sets for gigs and sets for riding motorbikes but the damage is already done. Now, instead of hearing my engine and the wind, I get to ride through valleys and forests to the sweet tune of EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Now I get to repeat this cycle with my own kids!

I feel you, I have to always have something on, be it TV, music, radio, anything to distract me from the constant EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I have a fan running at night on max power to create a hum to drown it out. Even now it’s winter, I just point it at the wall. I would give anything to enjoy a bit of sweet, sweet silence again!

I do exactly this; log on occasionally to finish small things, take the occasional emergency call from a colleague to help them out, work a little past the end of my shift just to get stuff done, etc. whilst I recognise it’s bad and advise others not to do it, I do as it feels like a small sacrifice for what I get in return.

I am 100% WFH. I save 2 hours a day on commuting, plus not having to iron shirts and general office-level prep. I save money on fuel and car maintenance. I have ready access to my own food and drink and is healthier than what’s in range of my office. I get to be with my family more, help the missus with our 2 young kids when needed, do housework or play with the kids on my lunch. I can focus on my work rather than having people constantly talking to me.

All these things combined make me considerably happier and calmer, even though my job is actually incredibly stressful :D haha.

Whilst I never condone working for free, I justify it to myself as a trade; never make me come to an office ever again and I’ll chuck in the extra 10% every now and again, haha.

The only bad thing about Ethernet cables is that they’re shaped like a goddamn grappling hook. If I wanna pull an Ethernet cable through my desk, I must understand that every other cable in its path is coming with it.

Sorry, I’ve just discovered from this thread that apparently Google has its own Find My! I was referring to Apple’s, sorry about that.

I’m using Memmy on iPhone and it’s awesome, very similar to Apollo. Custom gestures, themes, hide read posts, etc. Can’t recommend it enough to my iOS homies

They already are, at least here in the UK. I’ve got a bunch of Eufy tags, work great.
