Regulars' Table

Take a seat, lean back and talk about anything that comes to mind here - as long as it stays civil.

There are some days where there is just not enough coffee - and I'm having one of them - LOL! :sn-33:

Just try to have enough coffee, either beans or grounded, in your storage. Every once in a while I go to the wholesale to get myself enough coffee. Most of the time 6 or 12 kg at a time.

LOL! I could have had a truckload and it would not have been enough for today!

Because, unfortunately (as was my case today), no matter how much coffee there may be, it doesn't cure stupid. :oops:

If wish I could drink coffee like you do. My stomach says otherwise (heartburn). If I put a lot of milk into it, then it "might" work from time to time. So I drink caffeinated cacao instead. I tried energy drinks but they often have the adverse effect on my system :sn-31:

In case that the neighbors become too loud (I have a noise sensitivity), I play a noise masking video in the background like this one. Other means of choice are ear plugs and earmuffs.
I programed filtered psycho-acoustic masking systems for Verex Communications right after I got out of the navy. They can be amazingly effective. We installed them in call centers where you had open seating layouts (cubicles) with a bunch of people all taking on the phones next to each other. Once it was dialed in to the room you really couldn't hear the person next to you talking. I remember doing the IBM call center in Oswego NY which had close to 300 people on one floor. On the phone you'd swear they all had their own offices. Using a real time analyzer to tailor the white noise to the room is a little beyond what you can do at home, but the masking tapes should help a lot.

I tend to just have my google assistant play a "thunder storm" in the back ground these days ;-)

Etienne was annoyed that I didn't upload a proper pic for the avatar - he said he was tired of seeing my face on everything, and the least I could do was that when a new opportunity to post a pic came up, I could at least use his pic - so, I changed my avatar and he is happy now. :sn-3:

When I was looking through my pics, I realized that I did not have any real portraits of him - I have plenty for Jenassa and Chaconne and some of my other followers, but none of myself. I'll need to fix that - but the person holding the camera is often the last one to be in any pics - LOL!
