I seem to have tremendous problems with my sleepstyle.

That's on top of stuttering to the point where I actually just don't want to talk anymore.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Hahahaha >_>  Right now, I'm going with "learn how to express all important ideas in extreme brevity."

Actually, it's kind of nice.  This may be the Second Golden Age of Vector.  The last one (also set off by a bout of severe stuttering) led to about 10 years of productivity as I learned to enjoy my own company and rely on myself.  This one might be even better.

All the same, I have very suddenly developed a hatred of talking at all.

I got a bag of superbly fitting underwear.
Then I washed them and now they are super tight.
This makes me sad.

Hmm... Hug-based Morse code would work only over the Internet for you and therefore is entirely pointless. My only suggestion, ruined! Good luck, though. A few years down the road and you'll either have overcome the problem or neatly sidestepped it, using its momentum to your advantage in some clever fashion. 'S my prediction, anyway.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Did you use cold water or warm/hot water? I heard that cold water helps prevent shrinkage (ironically)

Pretty sure it was cold water. Interesting fact to know though.

Vector could learn semaphore, and flag signals so she can re-enact famous naval battles. She should particularly learn the flags for, "Vector expects that every man will do his duty." And, "Gimme some sugar Hardy."

My signature is now HUGS. Some might say that between the hugs in my title text, and the hugs in my signature I have too many hugs. But they of course fail to see the flaw in their logic that everyone else sees.

My laptop's power cord just burst into flames. That is... problematic. Mercifully, the laptop itself is fine and the fire did not spread beyond a single point on the cord that burned itself out quickly after I unplugged the fucker. Worst 30 bucks (counting shipping) I ever spent. Don't have the money to replace it this month, so until next I'll have to make do with the one I replaced with the now-combusted one, which refuses to be recognized by the computer until significant wiggling gets some broken pins to match up (a common issue with the things).
