#33YOU get SSI, and YOU get SSI... and YOU, and YOU. Disability checks all around! EDIT: Thanks for all the downvotes guys, it's good to know that humor has no place here.
Basically any re-used joke like this Oprah thing isn't going to play well here.
Also, as someone else mentioned, it needs to add to the conversation.

#34Anyone know of a break-taking app that watches your activity and can wait until you've lost focus on your work before reminding you to take a break? Something like the alarms that wake you up at the right point in your sleep cycle. It would probably need to have a cut-off eventually, but I'd hate to be interrupted in the middle of tracing some complex logic if there's a perfect stopping point 10 minutes later.
It's a very customizable tool - I've used it for months.

I'll vouch for this as well. A cool test: a few hours into the later parts of a long night when your working on something, try removing flux. I was blown away by how clearly this app should be a necessity for all devs and possibly techies

#38"He recommended I use a hot compress at least once a week for 10 minutes and to look away from the screen in a method called the 20-20-20-20 rule. Every 20 minutes take 20 seconds to look at an object at least 20 feet away and blink 20 times." Is there any evidence that this treatment actually works?
I can only provide anecdotal evidence, and I was not officially diagnosed with it, but I definitely have plenty of the issues listed. Since I adopted the Pomodoro Technique (25min work, 5min break), I have noticed that a lot of my symptoms have subsided. My biggest issues were headaches and blurry vision.
(I'm a layperson, hopefully all of my terms were correct.)

#39I have a 2012 MBP Retina, in retina mode (scaled at half the native resolution).; I can look at it for hours and hours without any problem. I also have a larger 4K screen from Iiyama, also "in retina mode"; after about an hour staring at it, my eyes are so dry that they are forced to cry, and headaches are much more frequent when I stick to that.
Somebody should do for monitors what Hermann Miller did for chairs.
