@indigo Why, does eternity on a dusty shelf not appeal to you? :o
@tomas 1 is a 1080p 40" TV that comes with the apartment. It's rubbish at that DPI, so I use it for my music/videos — basically I keep only VLC, Youtube, and Audirvana there.
2 is a 4k 28" which I use as my primary. Chrome and Reeder are tiled, Finder makes an appearance when needed, Navicat (database) takes up the full screen when I'm working on that.3 is a 1080p 27" that I use for Transmission, WhatsApp, Telegram, and iTerm (which itself is for irssi and hledger). I also used to have an emacs org file todo list permanently open, but now it's just the meal plan. So this is the most static monitor, I guess, since I tile everything and nothing moves.
Of course, 3 monitors isn't necessary, really, but I get so frustrated switching windows and applications all the time that I just end up doing nothing, since pretty much everything I do involves referring to something else. That's why I was so unproductive over the winter holidays — stuck with 1 11" screen…
Back to the apartment and mostly unpacked — mostly clothes, since my focus was on moving things back to HK. Now for coffee and an urgent grocery run…
Back in Edinburgh.
BA is much better than Flybe…but I guess this is the last time I'll be making this trip anyway. Unless I come back for the graduation ceremony or something.
@matigo I enjoy travel a great deal, I just dislike the airports :p
That said, I can't imagine why anyone would want to be an immigration officer or anything similar, so they probably just lump anyone who can wear a bullet proof vest and speak English to any degree into those jobs.

@sumudu Heathrow. The most disastrous I've seen since one time I took the Eurostar — can't remember exactly when now. The immigration officer asked if I had anything to declare, and I said I had only 1L of alcohol; he then went off to ask 2 other officers if that was within the duty free allowance. In hindsight, I should've just said "no" just to save myself the pain of dealing with these imbeciles).
At passport check for the transfer:
Her: Please fill in a landing card.
Me: do I need to?
Her: This is your residence card?
Me: …yes…
Her: Fill it in anyway, I don't know.
Me: You don't know…
