Except one short mention about riding the clutch, I haven't seen this yet... Get into the habit of completely removing your foot from the clutch pedal whenever possible. Even just lightly resting your foot against the pedal can wear your clutch out prematurely. Cruising on the highway: remove your foot from the clutch pedal and rest it on the floor. Sitting at the lights: put the car in neutral and release the clutch. Put your foot on the floor until you're ready to go. Also, it's ok to coast to a stop with the clutch pedal depressed, but you have much more control if you downshift to a stop and you will extend the life of your brakes, too.

Game on the left monitor. My left monitor is directly in front of my chair, though. Right monitor is portrait for browser, discord and whatever else I need at the time. The whole setup flipped (🔄) when I moved my desk last week, though.

Bill Cosby. I was raised on Bill Cosby albums and TV shows. I can't listen to him any more.

Minecraft.

If I'm feeling particularly antisocial I'll play Angband or Umoria.

I think B.B. King has the solution:

I've got a good mind to give up on living and go shopping instead.

I always have a screen protector. I prefer glass; I'm not a fan of the plastic ones. I pay to have it installed, that way it has to be installed perfectly or they do it again until they get it right.

I've broken a couple of screen protectors, but never a screen... Except for the time I accidentally stood on my 7" Nexus tablet, which wouldn't have been saved by a screen protector, anyway.

Breasts are not like a bladder filled with liquid. It's more like a dense sponge; so you can squeeze liquid out, but you can't inflate a sponge.

 

Boromir was the only member of the Fellowship who tried to take the ring. He was vain and entitled, believing that he alone, of the Fellowship, was worthy of the ring. He was a thief and a traitor.

Boromir was a Lord of Gondor, and he wanted everyone to know it. "His garments were rich, his cloak was lined with fur, and he had a collar of silver in which a single white stone was set."

Boromir did not redeem himself. He failed to protect Merry and Pippin from the orcs, who wouldn’t have found the hobbits wandering alone if it weren’t for Boromir’s actions in the first place.

Boromir would not have felt remorse or apologised if he had succeeded in taking the ring; he only did because he was caught. His image was so important to him that his “heroic” death was staged to create sympathy and goodwill so that he would not be remembered through the ages as a thief and a traitor.

Boromir got what he deserved.

 

What should I display on my second monitor (related to the game I'm playing, of course)? What can I display on my second monitor?

I'm playing on a self-hosted VaultHunters server.
