My death was so absurd it triggered an unhandled edge case in the code.
XYZinferno
It's a little over an hour long, though we plan on changing offices to a location that's 20 minutes closer to where I live, thankfully Plus, I do get to work from home twice a week
Besides a few awkward zipper merges and one stretch of road with lanes that are far too narrow, it isn't the worst. The evening commute is mired by more traffic, but that's to be expected.
Reminds me a bit of Jamais Vu
It's not a perfect match to what you describe but it's defined as "the phenomenon of experiencing a situation that one recognizes in some fashion, but that nonetheless seems novel and unfamiliar."
In your case, you recognize there was a building, and recognize it should be familiar, but it still feels unfamiliar to you nevertheless.
Hopefully this is in the right direction lmao
Two items I can think of: a bluetooth/wifi controlled multicolored lightbulb and reusable K-cups
Rather than setting up strips of lighting along my ceiling in my apartment, just changing out the bulb in my lamp is a really simple way to have full customization of a room's lighting. Nowadays, I find myself just lying in bed, changing the color and brightness of the bulb on my phone as I listen to music, changing it to whatever feels the best. Even for regular use, changing how bright or soft the white light is can be useful.
As for the K-cups, it makes for a really easy method of making coffee at the office. Due to a long commute, I have to wake up earlier than I would like to arrive at the office on time, and it generally leaves me little time to prepare coffee at home. During the summer I usually prepare cold brew the night before, though in fall and winter, I prefer warm coffee and I find it easiest to grind whole beans myself, prepare a K-cup the night before, and then brew once I arrive. Simple and clean with very little hassle.
