Airlines charge you for comfort. The transport is the same for everyone on board, but more comfortable accommodations cost more.

If they could get away with loading people in feet-first they would, and your legs would still be too long to be comfortable.

Counter proposal: they recline by keeping the top in place and sliding forward to detract from your own leg room.

1. Good, classic, simple
2. More of the same
3. An improvement, even better than before
4. Different, but still good
5. Awful, nobody asked for this

Or that’s my burger interpretation

“Exploding with flavor, like a car crash in your mouth.”

Sounds like you just need to find some ways to stay busy. My go-to is to either develop yourself or research your industry.

The first option involves getting more education that relates to your field. Classes, courses, webinars, etc. Build your skills on the company dime. What you learn of yours to keep, so learn all you can.

The second option is better suited to forums, magazines, publications, and news articles. What is going on with your industry and peers? Being on the cutting edge can involve a lot of just sitting and reading. Just write up a quick summary and save it for future reference or to justify the time spent.

Can you learn truths from fiction? Can you feel sad at a happy memory? Can you long for a person who wronged you? Can a good point he made by a bad person? Why does the source matter?

And when they doesn’t work, install a fresh copy of Windows on new hardware in a sperate location within another dimension.

They are both on bagels and the reasoning is because I had recently been introduced to bagels and quite liked them breakfast sandwiches, so I figured they would work for a lunch sandwich.

What you suggest: 1/30 tasks compete. What I see: 29/29 tasks remaining.

Ed… ward?

Stores near me first put in self checkouts around a decade ago and still have the original, problematic machines. It’s the newer stores or ones recently renovated that have upgraded, but that is rare.

“Unexpected item in the bagging area.” “Please place the item in the bagging area.” “Unexpected item in the bagging area.” “Please wait for assistance.”

The Venn diagram of games I want to play and games that won’t run on Linux is two disjoined circles. My buddy really likes Helldivers, but that didn’t play nice because of the invasive anti-cheat. That has been the only one.

Anker hasn’t had a W for a long time.

Oh, no, corporate just realized that could get four times as much viewership of their ads if they replace a human with four robots. Sure, it may be more costly overall, but their advertisement partners have seen significant increases in analytics and they really like that.

That’s funny because I recently started playing a modpack through Prism Launcher and I only eat because it is tied to health regeneration. It’s a minor inconvenience and doesn’t add anything else. Even the various foods the modpack adds can be distilled to what provides the most benefit for the least work because it is a chore instead of a rewarding and engaging experience.

My approach would be to find one thing and define it a home. For example, I keep nail clippers near my computer desk in an IKEA letter tray with other small, hard to group items like my lip balm, SD card readers, flash drives, ETC. From there, when I’m going through a bin of random shit and I find my cuticle shears, I have another item to group it with and a home for both.

If some items are hard to find a home for, create a place for those objects to live together like a found-family trope.

Adam Savage once pointed out that organization isn’t a problem to be solved it’s a process to be managed. You won’t find a perfect solution, but you can try things out and see how they work and make more changes later once you have new data to work with.

If you have been just surviving, you probably haven’t had the luxury of indecision. You need solutions, answers, and only have time for the things on the critical path. Now you’re off that path and things are less straightforward. Take any advice you like, but understand the real answer will be something you need to grow yourself by fertilizing the soil with ideas and giving them time to either grow or rot.

That said, my organization starts with giving everything a place. It doesn’t have to be a perfect place, or even a good place at first, and can just be wherever it is right now.

When you use the item, it returns to it’s place. As you learn how you use the items, you can then start changing their place to be better. You’re thinking about categories, but that comes from how you use or intend to use that item. That is knowledge you need to develop again, so don’t worry about it yet.

For furniture I like things that have clearly separate spaces that can be filled as I define things. The Kallax line of IKEA shelves is great as they are just cubes you can fill with bins, objects, or split with shelves and drawers. I move then around constantly, but that’s fine since this isn’t a problem to solve and in just managing the process.

You can reset your spawn point by sleeping in a bed.

Because I played too much World of Warcraft, I get the parody Hard Like Heroic instead.
