  2. So you went from a digital watch, which is a pretty neat idea, to a mechanical watch?
    Isn't that like a downgrade?

    So... you sort of have a border agent that wants to look at all the data on your phone before it crosses the border?

    Didn't Elon say his goal was to push other car manufacturers to also build electric cars? I bet from his point of view, Mercedes aren't attacking Tesla, they're joining them.

    The most depressing thing about an enclosed office is you have NO idea what's going on outside.

    Is it pouring rain? No idea.
    Did we just get hit with 12" of snow in the last 2 hours? No idea.
    Is there a thunderstorm brewing? Dunno.
    Is it really hot outside? Not sure, it's cool with the building A/C on.

    It sure sounds bad, but...

    May as well be living in a cave with fluorescent lighting.

    Ah, there's your problem! Get yourself LED lighting, 5000K (daylight).

    Re: "I want a fucking door"

    Welcome to your workplace. May we help you?
    Yes.

    How may we help you?
    You can start by wiping your fucking dumb-ass smiles off your fucking faces.

    Then give me a fucking door.
    A fucking glass door,
    a fucking wood door,
    a fucking steel door.
    One fucking panel with a handle.

    We don't care for the way you're speaking.
    I don't care for the way you put me in a fucking cubicle
    with a desk and a fucking computer that is fucking locked down.

    I didn't care to fucking disable the staff monitoring software
    and to bypass the fucking DNS filter
    and every fucking morning have you smile
    at my fucking face.

    I want a fucking door
    right fucking now.

    May we see your employment contract?
    I threw it away.

    Oh, boy.
    Oh, boy, what?
    You're fucked.

  12. Since your choice of "room with fresh air" is nullified by "the traffic lights stop the buses so that the diesel exhaust is lined up perfectly with my windows", it was never really a valid option to begin with. Get yourself an A/C and put those soundproof windows to good use!

    That pesky atmosphere getting in the way won't make it easy, especially with high altitude winds in the 250mph highly likely. Heck, 253mph is the known record for a storm near the ground.
