Light Bias

The two easiest ways to improve working and/or reading on a monitor are:

1) Buy a high-quality IPS panel, 4K at least.

2) Have bias lighting. (Equally important.)

If you hate your eyes, do something else I guess. Bias lighting makes so much difference and hardly anyone uses this. I can barely use my screens anymore without that.

Illegal…What?

The fuckstick liberal idea of just staying inside forever was never, ever, ever, ever going to work. But that’s the best they had. Most people wither sans social contact after a month or so. We consider solitary confinement a form of torture for a reason.

Most people after a while will resort to pretending to follow restrictions while doing things like this. It’s easy enough to predict because human nature (another thing libs believe is not real) is what it is and always will be.

Pluto

The Gobbler has combined Dr. Phil and Alf in some The Fly-like teleportation experiment gone horribly wrong.

This creation is currently quarantined in a methane ice cave on Pluto, biding its time.

Monitoring Station

I don’t think people realize it’s even possible to have better monitors or that they are destroying their eyes.

Yet every time I’ve put someone in front of a good 4K or 5K (especially) monitor, they’ve been like, “Wow, this is so much better! I didn’t know text on a large screen could look like that!”

When I brought my own 4K monitors into work, I converted like half of my office to 4K or at least wanting them.

Good monitors save eyes. If you don’t think you need them, you’re probably wrong.

Risk and the Real World

There is no such thing as “no risk.” Those who are searching for it will never find it. Welcome to the universe; it’ll be fucking you up until you die.

I’ll be taking the Covid-19 vaccine the moment it’s available to me. Because I’m not an assclown and though I am content to take more risks than most, getting vaccinated isn’t much of a risk. I’ll most likely drive to the vaccine site, which is hundreds to thousands times more risky.

Most people seem mentally ill to me they are so incredibly bad at assessing risk.

Not First

You know you’ve been in IT a long time when you help a completely separate customer use and configure their own custom in-house developed product, and know how to do so better than they do, even though you first saw it five minutes ago and they have worked there for years.

How’s that even possible? Don’t ask me. But it is, because I just did it. And not for the first time.

FAilure Mode

About the FA and other failure-oriented movements, I’m tired of hearing statements like, “It’s not easy to lose weight.” Damn, who gives a fuck.

Most of life isn’t easy. It’s gonna stay that way. Either do something or don’t. No reason to start a whole movement justifying your failure. That’s just descending into complete assclownery.
