what happens at olive garden when theyre grating the cheese and you don’t say “when”

the waiter gets more and more concerned as the cheese starts piling up and you remain silent. they eventually plead with you to stop this madness and just say when, but you hold firm. olive garden fills with cheese, killing everyone in the building as cheese begins to pour out into the street. the world floods with cheese. all is cheese.

Blinded by your computer screen?

Turning the brightness down doesn’t alleviate that, does it?

Recently, researchers have found evidence that suggests the colour temperature of one’s monitor can effect on your circadian rhythms, headaches, etc.

Obviously, it’s not a cureall, but it goes a long way to help. I’ve been using it for years, and it helps avoid headaches and other annoyances.

Here’s what f.lux has to say:

Ever notice how people texting at night have that eerie blue glow?

Or wake up ready to write down the Next Great Idea, and get blinded by your computer screen?

During the day, computer screens look good—they’re designed to look like the sun. But, at 9PM, 10PM, or 3AM, you probably shouldn’t be looking at the sun.

F.lux fixes this: it makes the color of your computer’s display adapt to the time of day, warm at night and like sunlight during the day.

It’s even possible that you’re staying up too late because of your computer. You could use f.lux because it makes you sleep better, or you could just use it just because it makes your computer look better.

It’s available for Windows, Mac, Linux, and iPhone/iPad.

I downloaded this earlier and when I was setting it up, I was like “WHOAH the nighttime lighting is SO orange/yellow and horrible and distracting,” but then I waited until the nighttime and it’s actually awesome. I switched back to the regular lighting for a second, just for comparison, and it was like a giant blue flashlight being shined right into my eyeballs. How did I live with that?!
