Music. Or sometimes absolutely nothing. Silence is good.

Listen to Music, sometimes stare out of my window and drink copious amounts of Tea and Coffee
(and write code)

used to do the dew thing, now just pump down gallons of water and throw in occasional pinches of Kodiak. Music is a must, unless I really need to think something through.

problem is, it'd take a minimum of a month to properly do such a test, although they have held experiments for similar lengths of time, it'd be a challenge to make them consistent outcomes over that period of time and activity. Now, that's not to say it's impossible to do the test, just difficult.

they ought to just test it with their little dummy they have
prob is, if they wanted to do it on a real human, they'd have to blow it up at the end and that might not go over so well....

I'd probably listen to music if I had my speakers available. I don't have enough outlets. I have a choice. FAN OR SPEAKERS. For now, I choose fan.
