Mine is high pitched, and varries in intensity but has gotten worse lately. Sometimes it makes jus existing down right hard, but usually it's only moderately annoying and I can mostly ignore it.

I've tried an assortment of sound based methods to mask it or train my brain to tune it out, but nothing has worked more than fleetingly.

The only thing that reliably gives me a break is if I can really focus on something. Music (passive or active), cooking, and programming are the most reliable, but sometimes reading, gaming, or good conversation works. Usually, though, everything is done with a constant backing track of flyback transformer whine.

Wear hearing protection, kids, or you may well live to regret it!

Plus, in Winter most people at best get off work around dusk anyway.

In addition, most studies indicate health benefits for standard time relative to both switching and permanent DST.

We tried permanent DST back in the 70s, and it sucked. We switched back. If we're going to make a change, it should be to standard time.

Especially given the comments I see here and on other tech and programming forums, I hate the direction things are going.

I still have some hope this will all fade, but the damage done will be worse the longer it goes on, I think.

Ubiquitous infinite scroll is one of the things I hate most about "modern" UI design.

What if less that 20% of the class do "exceptional" work? What if more do?

Those pushing this either haven't thought it through, or simply want to be seen to be doing something to address grade inflation, and this is something (just not something useful).

As with most things guitar, it's mostly about what works for the individual player.

Not reconfigure individual settings, turn off syntax highlighting all together.

It's not about style for me, it's about readability.

If that sentence fragment isn't a dystopian summary of the current state of at least US society, I don't know what is.

It's demonstrably possible. And further, why does what some portion of Microsoft, a huge, multi-headed beast, does qualify as the bar for what is reasonable for users to expect?

Not trying to invalidate your experience -- I've see with my own eyes a similar thing happen with rubberized coatings on laptops & keyboard wrist rests (other's not my own).

Just putting it out there that it's by no means the universal experience.

We need to bring the entire extraction class to heel. They are degrading, even destroying, society.

So does abstention.

By your logic, then, if sodomy and homosexuality were illegal, then adults of child bearing age would be legally required to have sex.

Likewise, those unable to participate in conception would be prohibited from having sex.
