They made a non-alcoholic version of the "there's an actual slice of lemon in the can" drink. This seems like it should've been the first thing they came up with. Very pleasant & refreshing in the unforgiving Tokyo summer.

Has anyone said anything to Lovett or Leave It about their discount code? Not sure you want your sponsored branding to be "Loli." There is a chance it's intentional...but I'd wager it isn't. @crooked.com

Okay, knowledgeable friends, colleagues, and passersby! I'm getting a lot of audio crackling, and it causes some graphical slowdown, as well, when gaming. What should I be doing with my setup that I'm missing?

My foray into adjusting my sleep schedule for office life is making gradual progress toward...something. Sleep 10:00pm to 2:30am. Faff about until 5am. Sleep again till 7am. Then, roll out. If I really need it, 15-30min power nap at work around 2:30pm.
