So, after end of shift, which was too early for being a minimum wage hourly paid job (3 hours, bruh) I spoke with a coworker.
I basically said I rather take my time, since working longer means more money, and that I even take the time to double or triple check the counts of things since I prefer to do it accurately rather than fast.

After saying something along the lines of "If I don't get a negative point for low speed, it's probably good enough." I heard a familiar voice:
"Come look at your speed -"

Aaaaæäãæâåæuuæaâä, my throat tightened, my eyes looking for source of the voice somewhere on my left. They find a gap between boxes, just large enough to see the eyes of flaming doom. My doom.
My legs, almost on their own, start making coordinated movements that move the upper part of my body around the boxes towards my boss who's staring at a laptop screen, all while my brain resonates "I done fucked up".
My body now standing at the destination, few steps away from where I was, but still a mile road away. My mind clears enough to ask the eyes for what they see. They see a glowing rectangle, a laptop screen, thousands of squares from far away forming an image of a spreadsheet. One line a different shade, higlighted, it bears my name.
Far below average, in fact the slowest.
Boss standing on my right dooms me with final verdict, "That is slow enough for a negative point."
Indeed, one third the average speed today. Worker x 0.3, one third.

I was just told I don't need to count everything twice (or thrice which I haven't mentioned but sometimes do as I distrust myself), and that small mistakes in accuracy are tolerated.
And also that she noticed me being below the average quite often. I wish I had access to those statistics.

Damn.

Why waste time by sleeping, right?

Ignore "REM", Mi band 4 doesn't measure that.

Why not give finer level of control?

Also a bit unrelated, but the lowest volume earphone output on many devices I had was just too damn loud. My current phone included, at least I can fix it with the music player's EQ.

Edit: Probably shouldn't have used "and/or" in this case, but just "or". Oh well...

Edit 2: Fixed. Hopefully the new image gets loaded too.

FOR THE LOVE OF SHINKI-
I WANT TO GO 5 MINUTES
ONE FUCKING WEBSITE
WITHOUT BEING REMINDED OF THIS FUCKING ELECTION is that seriously too much to ask oh my god I just came here for dragon porn.

I've got Optiarc DVD RW AD-7580S FX20 drive from old laptop that I converted to external drive by using a caddy made for that purpose.

It works fine, except 4x speed when writing DVD+RW discs. I've noticed the burns are mostly unreadable and way darker. Probably bad laser power level.
So, I got the idea to make stripes on the disc.
At first I tried it with multi-session, but after a few stripes it would always die after some 4x burn. Occasionally it could load and append it after many long re-tries, but it eventually failed way too early.

Since I couldn't think of a better way with my tiny brain/braincell clump, I decided to do it from outside in. Burning large image decreased by 200MiB each time I alternated the speed between 4x (dark) and 2.4x (bright).

4,200MiB 4x
4,000MiB 2.4x
3,800MiB 4x
3,600MiB 2.4x
3,400MiB 4x
3,200MiB 2.4x
3,000MiB 4x
2,800MiB 2.4x
2,600MiB 4x
2,400MiB 2.4x
2,200MiB 4x
2,000MiB 2.4x
1,800MiB 4x
1,600MiB 2.4x
1,400MiB 4x
1,200MiB 2.4x
1,000MiB 4x
800MiB 2.4x
600MiB 4x
(inner 417MiB is 2.4x only)

I wasn't sure if zeroes would change the appearance so I used random data.
