You're lucky.

I automated my deployments and test analysis, which were the most time consuming tasks (sequential process, with few quirks along the way) as a developer. This gave me reliably 30-40 minute forced breaks.

Soon I got notices that there were complaints that I do not conform to the office norms, and that apparently I "sleep instead of working", and people "ask if they can work like I do" (never got any further explanation). I got passed the slip and I'm moving on to a different job next week.

There's a Firefox addon called Tab Session Manager.

It's fully functional and does exactly what you say you want. It could use some UI improvements though.

Sometimes the target is a known browser version on a known OS (eg. intranet sites). Those are a lot simpler and (arguably) fun to make.

It's not something that originated here. These hypotheses are based on correlation. That does not imply causation though.

Disclaimer: my educated guess is that there is probably a real connection between lead and functioning of nervous system. Element particles/molecules probably have very high ability to diffuse through complex systems due to their small particle sizes.

What's nice about this is one can prepare dosage and pills ahead of time, making it easy to go with it without much hassle

That's a very good counterpoint. Human species did evolve to be social "pack" creatures already.

And so, the martian race would be born. Different genes, upbringing, environment and even gravity strength.

5 or 6 links news does not make. Now to condense it to: list of news sources and we have more incentive for people to actually vet what they read, why and when.
