Are those arms even useful? You know… for the things that arms are usually used for?

Drywall is primarily made of gypsum, which is a mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate, sandwiched between layers of paper or fiberglass.

On the other hand, it could also mean:

• Number of “me” = 1
• Number of “voices” = 0

Perhaps the voices went away, after getting rid of that pesky concealment, now that the wall is in debugging mode.

C. It’s very likely the context given in the caption is a joke anyway and you’re taking things way too seriously.

You gotta take bokeh-ing seriously.
Did you know, the neighbour’s child go an A+ in their last joke-test?
Now stop lazing around and get back to joking.

Now you know which specific type of animal to give way to.
No stripe, no crossin :P

How is that “me-1”? You just destroyed your wallpaper and found nothing.
Oh, it’s “-1” as in “minus one”. Makes sense.

Next time, perhaps try checking what is on the other side of the wall.

That’s only going to affect me if I am reading something particularly boring and don’t really want to read it.
But if that were the case, I wouldn’t be reading it in the first place.

I don’t feel the need to rid myself of distractions, because when I am not in the mood to read a book, I don’t read it.

Also, this “distracted by functionality” logic is what parents seem to use to get rid of stuff with a screen.
I can say for sure, that people being loud in another room is a much bigger distraction.
If your OS is distracting you, you have installed the wrong one.

I really like being able to Ctrl+F through my book.
But there just seems to be some kind of feel to flipping a page that makes me feel more focussed.

To advertising companies, maybe yes.
But to the ones making the advertisement, we are the wall between them and their money, which just needs to be gotten out of the way.

Yeah, when I first got a link to a whitepaper in the newsletter, I expected it to be a… a whitepaper (I read the meaning it had back then).
After reading it properly, as if I would an academic paper, I thought it was weird that I didn’t feel like I learnt anything useful.

It would take a while (and a few other whitepapers) for me to realise what it had become.

Guess that’s why the big guys want people to be neurotypical.
To make it easier to sell them stuff.

The calls are good. You want those.

Of course I do. That’s what gets me paid, nowadays.
The only difference being that I did put the effort to make others understand my work (and more than how much I needed to).
It’s just that they still find it much more convenient to call me, get me to do the work and then copy it all into their project (which would then require changes), rather making the whole algorithm themselves.

and I’m not going out of my way to teach the users any more than they absolutely need

Interestingly, I did go out of my way to explain to others how made my code and what though processes went into some of the design decisions I made. I even wrote it all down into 3+ .md files and served them on the local network for everyone to read.

Guess what?
I’m still called when big changes need to be made, or when some behaviour needs to be explained.
And I get paid by the hour, instead of having to do 45hr/week in the office.

Not sure what “Just commenting here for the” means here, but
here’s my comment for “I’ve got nothing to show you either.”

Well, I can buy a GPS map device. Cash payments are not much of a problem until the Govt. starts adding that extra tax on cash withdrawal from ATMs. I will need to wait for companies to grow a brain and stop using WhatsApp for work.

For all else, I use my computer anyway.

Sorry to say that this doesn’t match the rest.

You can have a tiny bit of cancer, that is tiny enough that it does not need medication and is eventually finished by cytotoxic T cells, depending upon other conditions.

That doesn’t correlate to things like “tiny bit of mass-surveillance”, which is aimed to be an oxymoron.

So, the European Commission has the money to hire a PR department?
Not particularly news, but oh well.
