Chomsky is the guy that said Ukraine should just surrender to Russia, right? Truly a great example of living king enough to become the villain, and not in a Batman way.

I’ll outright say it. Other than The Prestige and the later Batman movies, Nolan movies have been very disappointing to me. They’re not clever, they’re pretentious. If you ever saw that Netflix movie where the woman dated Keanu Reaves, the part where Keanu asks the chef for a meal the plays with the concept of time is every Christopher Nolan movie in a nutshell. Also, the action sequences in Batman Begins were unnecessarily choppy, and the idea that it was somehow how a bat would see them is just silly.

I have a really good sense of smell; trust me, you smell after one day and just can’t smell it yourself until day four. I’m sorry if this comes as a surprise.
Four monitors plus the laptop screen. It’s…a lot visually, but my productivity is significantly higher than when I only had two and the laptop screen.
They’re arranged in a square so clockwise from top right:
Work entry screen - this is where I’m typing a lot
Reading screen - this is the general source of what I’m working on
Outlook - I’m fully remote, Outlook is life
File folders - I work mainly with two or three folders all day so it just makes sense to have them uncovered
Laptop - Teams!
Of note, I use a ton of keyboard shortcuts and have generally optimized my workflow so I’m not hitting the mouse nearly as often as my coworkers. Having Outlook and Teams each have their own screen means I can keep them open and see what’s coming in while still working on my stuff on other screens. Final thing I’ll say about the arrangement, because you’re probably visualizing this making for a good gaming setup, no it wouldn’t because of how the screens are placed.
No matter what, get yourself a mirror. I don’t like people suddenly appearing by me, and since I’m using noise-cancelling headphones with music/podcasts 40+ hours a week, this keeps me from jumping out of my skin.
I’d say GOAT should be a Council of greats, like the Jedi Council but without the religious extremism and child soldiers. I’d like to nominate a couple for this council:
Wilt Chamberlain- go look up his records
Andre the Giant - his drinking records alone should put him on the Council, but reportedly he was a very nice person as well
Dolph Lundgren - he plays a meathead in Expendables movies, but he’s a legit genius, as well as a literally massive human
Steve Wozniak - he managed to build the PC despite Steve Jobs being a colossal dick
Saint Olga - she took vengeance and raised it to an art form
