Buzzing lights after an LED upgrade is a classic problem. It's usually the dimmer struggling with the new load. Good catch on swapping it out.

Yeah, the "out of sight, out of mind" thing is huge. I took it further and started putting my book right on top of my phone charger. If I want to plug my phone in for the night, I have to move the book first. That tiny moment of touching the book makes me way more likely to just pick it up and read a page. Another spot is blocking the remote control on the couch. It turns the book into the thing you have to deal with to get to the distraction.

Thought staying quiet was the only way to not cause trouble. Saw a new guy straight up ask why we were having a status meeting that could've been an email. Everyone froze for a second, but then the team lead just shrugged and ended it. Changed my whole view on those silent agreements. We're all adults, and sometimes calling out the waste of time is the professional thing to do. Still feels awkward, but it beats staring at the clock for an hour.

Remember when you had to fix a VCR by jiggling the tape? My dad could do that, but now my streaming just buffers. Maybe it's the same with cars. We gain the speed but lose those weird little fixes only a person would figure out. That's the trade-off that bugs me sometimes.
