On Quitting
Feb 11, 2020Modern society has placed an incredible amount of mental debt on thoughts surrounding “Quitting”. Quitting something largely has a negative connotation around it unless you’re quitting a bad habit of chain smoking or heavy drinking or the likes.
Quitters have often been looked down upon. Joined the gym but quit a week later? Society dictates you should feel bad about it. Quit a relationship that wasn’t going anywhere or was outright unhealthy for you? You must have done something wrong.
Well, f*** that. Quit, leave the past behind, walk all over it and kick it while it is down if you have to. Quit the bad relationships, quit the bad jobs and bad managers, quit the toxic workplaces. Your state of mind, your peace, you matter more to the people who truly care about you. Quitting something isn’t bad. It is at best a temporary setback, or an opportunity to start fresh.
Be a quitter once in a while. It’ll do you good.

Addtionally I Built
Feb 9, 2020Addtionally, I built a new workstation in Jan (I’ll post about that separately), so I moved my older one (i7 5820K, 1080Ti, Liquid Cooled) to the living room and connected it to my LG C9. 1440p, 120Hz HDR gameplay is breathtaking.
Lg First Adding
Feb 9, 2020LG first adding Airplay 2 support to their 2019/2020 TVs, followed by the Apple TV app with Dolby Vision support and recently announced Dobly Atmos support (coming later this year) is the perfect setup for me. I almost bought the Apple TV Hardware last year. Glad I did not.
