@matigo Like goat-fucker (Erdogan) in Turkey whined and complained last year when a German comedian mocked him on national TV? At least we would have the final proof needed that the US was no longer a democracy if that happens.

@lechindianer Scary Indeed. I am not going to visit any country that demand my device and that I unlock it for them to peruse at their leisure. At least not by choice.
I'm thinking about getting a travel phone with exactly nothing in it, and brining that on trips. Should be about as helpful to the border folks as a wet wad of paper. ?
They can't coax any passwords of relevancy out of me either, as I genuinely don't know any anymore. Password managers for the win!
@matigo Indeed it is! With some slight upgrades to my setup/workstation, I should be able to work on all the things I want with less friction than I earlier anticipated.

@jextxadore Looking into that, but haven't found any stands that look good. Or rather, any stands that don't cost a small fortune and look like shit at the same time.
Might have to custom build one, but I fear it won't be as flexible as a bought one. Still, I would get to work with my hands, so that's nice.
@jextxadore I've come to realize that I need some more screen real estate if I'm going to do the stuff I want in this year. Unfortunately (?) I don't have room for more than dual 21" - 24" on the desk, as much as I would like to have more. But I'll live with that, no problems, as I've been living the laptop life the past decade.
Can't stand not getting all these things out of my head anymore, so I might as well make some small investments and get shit done while I'm able. ?
@matigo Ask for a specific weekend pay, and a small bonus considering the work amount to be completed. Or at least weekend pay. No fekk in hell that'll be free or included in your regular salary, even in Japan!
Guess I might as well charger further into 2017 by building a new workstation at home. Time for some investments like a multiple monitor stand, some cheap, used monitors. Not to mention a number of DisplayLink adapters, since the MacBook Air only has the one Thunderbolt port.
@jws Yep, I remember that stage all too well. About as often as the diaper needed changing… which fell under my responsibility as I don't produce milk. ?
Oh well, time fixes that nicely, so it's all good.

@matigo Sounds familiar. Oh the joys of small stomachs and its owner not knowing when it's full or not.
