- kayodelycaon 3y agoI'd go with Peak HN. Everyone has their quirks. I've got my computer speaking the time every 15 minutes and everyone I know would be driven absolutely insane by that. It helps me keep track of time. Some people put a postit on their mirror or laptop screen.
- bayindirh 3y agoThis is a comic I love (titled: Weird): https://viruscomix.com/page500.html https://viruscomix.com/page500.html I store a copy in my "life changing comics" folder.
- kayodelycaon 3y agoOoooo... a peanut butter banana bacon sandwich sounds awesome.
- toomuchtodo 3y agoHighly recommend.
- HankB99 3y agoI've done a PBBJ (peanut butter bacon jelly) but never a PBBB. Might need to try it.
- clementime 3y agoThis is a great comic. Understanding and appreciating other people's differences goes a long way. So much harm comes from being fearful or judgemental of people who are different. Now I'm curious - what else is in your "life changing comics" folder?
- lemper 3y agoBaki the Grappler.
- hiAndrewQuinn 3y agooh hell yeah you're my kind of guy.
- bayindirh 3y agoA couple notables from my collection: Hey, C'mon: https://www.viruscomix.com/page528.html The Human Race: https://viruscomix.com/page531.html So Mature: https://viruscomix.com/page532.html Sexier Th>n: https://viruscomix.com/page542.html Copper: https://www.boltcityproductions.com/copper There are other another honorable mentions, but I was not able to find the original URLs, so I didn't add them here. I'm intrigued by human nature and why are we the way we are, and search for a calmer, more peaceful self inside me. Apparently meditation helps a lot.
- TZubiri 3y agoMine is currently on a 15 minute loop as well, but it just plays prerecorded numbers from 15 to 0 telling me how many minutes left in my 15 minute time block
- pmlamotte 3y agoThe time notification reminds me of a screenless "watch" 10 years ago. It would buzz every 5 minutes as a supposed aid in perceiving the passage of time for various tasks. https://www.theverge.com/2014/1/30/5361210/skrekkogle-durr-the-watch-without-a-face https://www.theverge.com/2014/1/30/5361210/skrekkogle-durr-t...
- abnry 3y agoYes, 30 minutes is a shockingly long time. I'd say 5 minutes makes a lot more sense.
- cableshaft 3y agoThose are rookie numbers. You need to get that down to 5 seconds.
- cm2012 3y agoAmateur. I have a neon sign that strobes every millisecond in front of my office chair.
- tarxvf 3y agoHow embarassing for you. I have a GPS disciplined rubidium clock with a 100MHz output hooked up directly to my sinuses. The slow sensation of waves washing ashore keeps me awake long enough to interact with the rest of you when I am taking my daily luxury 3ms break to read HN. Further, I have a script that, when my break time is over, automatically terminates any conn-
