Yeah, we want to be authentic, right?

Me too, it was like the equivalent of the clown fear some people have. Like, why are you acting this way? It’s weird, you seem weird

This is the equivalent of a verbal break; statement

I’m one of them!

(I’m a really bad driver.)

I think we should normalise sharing your actual birthday, and while we’re at it also share what street you grew up on, and your mother’s maiden name

I think we just don’t call it.

The people who like that kind of stuff can acknowledge it if they want

My cat will get in front of me on camera, so blurring wouldn’t even do anything

Even in a 100% work dedicated office, there is no background that looks as professional and uncluttered as a blurred one.

I only unblur if I’m showing off my bookshelf or video game posters

It is it’s the NDA you made your partner sign.

I can’t remember the name

I also bounced off of Ubuntu, when it first came out and nowadays it is even more ridiculously simple to I install and start using.

No guarantees that you won’t have to do a bit of research of you’ve got particular hw or sw that you want to use, but as far as a general purpose os it has it all

Linux is pretty sweet. I haven’t got a new computer in over a decade, and don’t plan to, and this OS just continues to work like a dream.

Is this the book that introduced SOLID?

It’s the same thing as with a hat: if you’re uncomfortable it’ll show. Comfort is the only difference between “hat people” and everyone else.

Long hair, short hair, no hair; if you feel good people can tell, and you’ll ascribe those feelings to how you look.

I’m the opposite, the longer my hair gets the dirtier I feel, until I finally crop it short, or if I’m really wanting that “clean fresh start” feeling, shave it off entirely.

Anyway, lucky for you, you don’t have to get used to it! Just wait it out and you’ll be back to your old self before you know it.

Good post!

About 8GiB thumb drive. I don’t hang on to much

Like your drawing tools? That’s a good idea. What’s keeping you from that now?

Privateemail, no complaints

The problem isn’t ideas. It’s putting the phone down and picking up the drawing tools.

I’m quite literally in no position to criticise, but I’d like to brainstorm some ideas with you. I struggle with this too, but have managed to make some progress over the years.

Do you take notes for work or something where you could scratch out a concept or two in between tasks? Would an app/phone timer like Lock Me Out help get your phone time down to a level you’re happier with?

This kind of stuff has worked for me anyway. Not to say it isn’t still a challenge

No, just always loved dinosaurs

Oh my goodness, is that man’s house made out of stairs!
