It really is. After 11 years of remote work I would never go back to an office. I also understand we can't all work remote. I was an automotive and industrial painter for most of my pre-IT career and that would have been rather difficult to do over the internet :p

In my defense - The 3000th night doing it is rather dull

Fair. But to a sysadmin or devops engineer availability is pretty important.

Yup.

I smoked a pack a day for roughly 30 years. My night time breathing was getting ugly and my wife would sometimes get woken up by the sound of my wheezing.

Every method of quitting failed me except vaping. I started as most do with a high nicotine vape juice that tasted like tobacco, but after about a month I swapped and started going lower and lower nicotine and change the flavor from tobacco to a custardy type.

2 months of that got me off the cigs. Two more months got me down to zero nicotine. Two or three more months after that I was done.

I have been off cigs for 7 years.

My breathing no longer feels wet or difficult at night. And My yearly health tests all come back the same as a non-smoker.

That makes at least 3 of us!

Do you happen to know the brand? I've been looking for plugs to reduce wind noise without also cancelling out the sound of my motorcycle.

I tried to find the SUPERUPVOTE for this but I failed. So you get a normal upvote :)

We live in the forest so our cats can only ever go outside on a harness or in one of those backpacks to save the lives of all our forest friends.
