I made a *monkey user script that simply hides the #related sidebar on YouTube. I use YouTube for ambient noise (like this video) to help my concentration but (ironically), I often get distracted by the sidebar content when I go to switch it on #adhd
Kind: Notes
Is there maybe space for another ballroom? Or some other sort of redecorating project? Can’t be THAT hard to find something to distract him.
Managers so quick to dimiss complaints about workplace software until they actually have to use it.
“Why do we have to do it that way?”
Can someone with time on their hands do a “Who said it?” quiz with #Trump versus Kim Jong Un, please?

Lessons from FailArmy
They say kids these days are being ruined by social media but mine have learned plenty from FailArmy on YouTube!
Including (but not limited to):
- motorcycles are dangerous
- wet rock/stone/concrete is very slippery
- misusing gym equipment is dangerous
- fire, even birthday candles, requires caution
- gritting your path/steps/driveway in winter is advisable

Just achieved inbox 0 on one of my personal accounts and I wasn’t even trying!
