Bruno Molteni Jun 3, 2021, 5:50 PM 💚 1 🙏 1 Nice house guys! Awesome job Linh! I moved here almost half a year ago and Im pretty proud of how my desk came together so far Bruno Molteni Jun 3, 2021, 5:51 PM 🙌 1 🏆 1 Yup! Gorillaz collectibles... Because why not hehe these bad boys are ... Pretty much studio monitor quality, those ribbon tweeters are pretty sweet Kanto TUK speakers Amy Jun 3, 2021, 6:59 PM 😂 1 Linh and Bruno, the Monica’s LOL Anthony Watson Jun 3, 2021, 7:14 PM 💰 1 👀 1 when I was boss, I was always little suspicious of a "clean" desk. In my experience, the hardest workers often had the messiest desks. IMO of course Checkmate. Anthony Watson Jun 3, 2021, 7:17 PM ➕ 1 still a little too organized for my liking LOL Amy Jun 3, 2021, 7:17 PM 😂 2 Shiiit and I thought I was bad LOL richard-kubina Jun 3, 2021, 7:17 PM :man-gesturing-no: 1 😄 1 Guy are you doing whippits?

Guy Jun 3, 2021, 7:20 PM :troll: 4 😂 1 Just a pair of the hardest workers chatting about our desks... 🙂 richard-kubina Jun 3, 2021, 7:20 PM probably haha. it was in regards to the office dust spray can ... something something nitrous oxide Guy Jun 3, 2021, 7:22 PM 😂 2 richard-kubina I managed to dig out this old photo of me from a few years back, don't worry I've straightened up my act now. Linh Jun 3, 2021, 7:27 PM you are wrong Anthony Watson. Anthony Watson Jun 3, 2021, 7:28 PM 😂 2 Linh actually you disagree with my opinion. I am not wrong unless you can produce objective metrics Linh Jun 3, 2021, 7:28 PM 🤔 2 👽 1 🚀 1 ☕ 1 😅 1 :doge: 1 nope, you are just wrong. #facts. Bruno Molteni Jun 3, 2021, 7:28 PM I used to have a lot messier desk but after I moved to a new place I made it a point to have a clean desk... Hopefully my productivity didnt suffer 🙄 Anthony Watson Jun 3, 2021, 7:29 PM 😂 2 #alternativefacts Linh Jun 3, 2021, 7:29 PM hahaha in all seriousness though, this is a great use case to teach our daughter the difference between facts and opinions (one of her favorite books is called facts vs opinions vs robots) Anthony Watson Jun 3, 2021, 7:30 PM it is what they do not teach in school any longer...critical thinking Anthony Watson Jun 3, 2021, 7:30 PM 😂 2 😢 1 my children hate debating anything with me...it is just a pain with Dad Anthony Watson Jun 3, 2021, 7:30 PM ☝ 1 dads all into those pesky #facts Guy Jun 3, 2021, 7:34 PM 😂 2 :broom: 1 Linh :man-shrugging: Moral of the story , Norah not cleaning her room is an advantage in the long run Linh Jun 3, 2021, 7:35 PM 💥 1 ⁉ 1 THATS what you get from this???? Guy Jun 3, 2021, 7:35 PM 👀 2 :awwyeah: 1 as Will Smith says: parents just don't understand Anthony Watson Jun 3, 2021, 7:35 PM 👀 4 it is a sign of high intellect...I truly believe it and I am a member of Mensa David Jun 3, 2021, 7:51 PM Who do you get into Mensa? An IQ test? Anthony Watson Jun 3, 2021, 7:51 PM yes...IQ must be in top 2% of society so it fluctuates a little bit depending on how smart your "era" is David Jun 3, 2021, 7:52 PM Great desk Bruno Molteni. I got to up my speaker game, we have a broken surround sound system. David Jun 3, 2021, 7:52 PM Anthony Watson so if your IQ is certain number, they just let you in? Do you get a Mensa card to prove it? Linh Jun 3, 2021, 7:53 PM SHOW ME OTHERWISE IT NEVER HAPPENED David Jun 3, 2021, 7:54 PM 😂 2 :awwyeah: 1 :fireball: 1 Also got to plug us covering Clint Eastwood in honor of that Gorillaz memorabilia Linh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTL1gaKF6UQ David Jun 3, 2021, 7:55 PM Bruno Molteni what keyboard are you rocking? Those look like some heavy keys. Guy Jun 3, 2021, 7:56 PM David looks like a ;) keychron k6 Linh Jun 3, 2021, 7:56 PM wait… how do you Guy Linh Jun 3, 2021, 7:57 PM DO YOU DO MUSIC TOO Anthony Watson Jun 3, 2021, 7:57 PM 🏆 2 💯 2 😂 2 :chess_pawn: 2 Wow, you know my office just such a damn disaster. I literally have to recall the location of every single item in a 4 dimensional grid. However, a search revealed this thirty year old document. Marie Kondo hates me BTW David David Jun 3, 2021, 7:57 PM 😂 3 Guy MARSHALLOWS? REALLY? YOU STILL EAT MARSHMALLOWS Guy Jun 3, 2021, 7:58 PM :octagonal_sign: 1 😄 1 THEY WERE IN THE CUPBOARD AND I WAS SNACKY 😭 Linh Jun 3, 2021, 7:58 PM 😂 1 he was born last month david David Jun 3, 2021, 7:59 PM 😂 2 Anthony Watson "Genius since 93" reminds me of "vomit-free since 93" https://how-i-met-your-mother.fandom.com/wiki/Vomit_free_since_%2793 richard-kubina Jun 3, 2021, 8:00 PM :brain: 5 👽 2 y'all jealous Anthony Watson Jun 3, 2021, 8:02 PM 🌍 1 🌎 1 🌏 1 💯 2 David IF I was a genius presumably that would be from birth when JFK was president. I eschewed Mensa because it was a whole bunch of poor smart people. However, as times got tougher and I had no degree the tech industry really wanted college. To survive I joined Mensa to give a certification for the CPU size I was born with. However, I know the most important thing is CQ not IQ...character quotient. IQ is just like having red hair or being tall. It is a thing but not the only thing. Jeez. I only speak one language I have no claim to being a genius. BUT the clean desk dirty desk is a long debate of my career. i had to weigh in. IQ is ONE measure of problem solving but only ONE. I perform well there, but what if you ask me to fix my car...well I am mechanically retarded and I would be challenged. I have done it of course, but I recognize the diversity of intellect...there are many facets to it. Guy Jun 3, 2021, 8:03 PM 💪 3 :pleading_face: 2 💪 1 Not to flex or nothin.... Anthony Watson Jun 3, 2021, 8:03 PM Guy Mensa will have a proctor there sir Guy Jun 3, 2021, 8:04 PM 😂 3 158 IQ me definitely didn't just have to Google what a "proctor" was 😭 David Jun 3, 2021, 8:11 PM 😂 1 Well that ended well... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Proctor_(Salem_witch_trials) David Jun 3, 2021, 8:13 PM 👍 1 Anthony Watson I didn't realize how much Mensa was bridging the meritocracy over certification gap. Very interesting! Guy Jun 3, 2021, 8:15 PM Anthony Watson couldn't help but notice the massive chess board behind you, do you have an elo/rating?? Anthony Watson Jun 4, 2021, 12:06 AM :chess_pawn: 1 Guy I have never played in an international tourney so I only have a USCF rating That scale is rating 2200 is a National Master 2000 is Expert 1800 is Class A 1600 Class B ...my high water mark was 1976. My current rating is a semi respectable 1700 only because the USCF started putting a "floor" on people's ratings. because it got so high even if I play crappy it will never go below 1700. I think it is also a ploy to get old guys to play and give up rating points to youngsters without the additional humiliation of a triple digit chess rating. Guy Jun 4, 2021, 12:54 AM 👽 1 Anthony Watson oh wow! That's impressive man! I started playing a bit recently and had no idea how much depth the game has, making me feel proud of my messy desk now, maybe you could give me a couple lessons😉 Arthur Jun 4, 2021, 12:54 PM I totally agree with Anthony Watson - my desk is a total mess. Bruno Molteni Jun 4, 2021, 1:38 PM 👽 2 👍 2 😃 3 ohh wow... this thread blew up overnight! ... first of all, Anthony Watson I'm also a member of Mensa! 😄 I joined back in Buenos Aires, when I was 16 ( at the time I was the youngest member in my city )... and I STILL have a clean desk... just facts 😛 Bruno Molteni Jun 4, 2021, 1:39 PM :fireball: 1 David the keyboard is a my first mech keyboard and I've loved it ever since I got it 🙂 now im thinking wether to go the slim mech keyboard route... Keychron K2 Bruno Molteni Jun 4, 2021, 1:40 PM 🙏 2 awesome singing and rapping btw! I just LOVE clint eastwood, I think it's my fav song by them... and your cover is awesome! makes me wanna do a deep house remix 👀 Guy Jun 4, 2021, 1:41 PM 🤔 1 Bruno Molteni I got the (slim one) a few months ago and it's great! Keychron K1 Bruno Molteni Jun 4, 2021, 1:42 PM 🤔 1 awesome... I'm really tempted by it! how noisy  is it ? Guy Jun 4, 2021, 1:43 PM I got it in browns and wouldn't class it as a "loud"  keyboard, I used to rock a Ducky one2 in browns which was a lot noisier ;) Bruno Molteni Jun 4, 2021, 1:46 PM great to hear! Kien Jun 4, 2021, 2:30 PM hold up!!! Bruno Molteni Kien Jun 4, 2021, 2:30 PM David keychron k2 is pretty sweet, def worth for mac users Bruno Molteni Jun 4, 2021, 2:39 PM 😂 1 :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: 1 Well now we're officially hand pals 😂 dunno why but I always get comments about the hand when I show people my office... Kien Jun 4, 2021, 2:40 PM 😂 2 :party_parrot: 1 your set is literally mine plus some expensive-ass speakers and vr goggles, danggg Linh Jun 4, 2021, 2:42 PM 🙌 1 💯 1 This thread definitely should be just saying Bruno Molteni http://slogging.com Bruno Molteni Jun 4, 2021, 2:42 PM 🤗 4 🎵 3 🎼 3 🎹 3 Since you all liked the first pic so much, This is next to my desk: my music corner Kien Jun 4, 2021, 2:43 PM is that a beats studio 3??? 😂 Kien Jun 4, 2021, 2:44 PM you know what i take it back it aint beats Bruno Molteni Jun 4, 2021, 2:44 PM :fireball: 2 🎧 1 The headphones? Those are sony h.ear 2! Anthony Watson Jun 4, 2021, 4:25 PM 💯 4 Bruno Molteni So glad you could come here and defend the fact that the state of one's desk is a matter of taste and not a sign of intellect or productivity ...despite my own bias on the matter.  I guess the thread officially got to 100 "lurkers" since we are both here.👽
