Anyone know which e-reader is best for reading in bed without straining my eyes and does it have adjustable lighting?

Since you’re browsing Amazon note the current basic Kindle now has 300 ppi but still only cool light; if you want adjustable warm light you’ll need the Paperwhite, and the 6.8-inch screen is extra comfy in bed and often goes on sale. On the Kobo side, the Clara 2E is a solid budget pick with true warm light and a bedtime schedule. Whatever you choose & set brightness to roughly match your room instead of super dim - that keeps contrast crisp and feels easier on the eyes.
Why is my blender making a weird grinding noise and how can I fix it

Good points. I’d also inspect the rubber drive coupler on the motor base - if the teeth are rounded cracked, or there’s black rubber dust, it’ll chatter and grind under load and the coupler is a cheap, easy swap. While you’re there, make sure the blade assembly’s retaining ring is snug in the jar (hand‑tight, not cranked down); a loose ring lets the bearing wobble and makes the same grinding sound.
Is it reasonable to ask for a quiet workspace when my job is open office?

I track my productivity in a detailed spreadsheet, logging interruptions per hour. In an open office like yours, sales noise could add up to 20% lost time based on studies I've referenced. Requesting set hours in a quiet area is logical if you present data showing output differences.
Frame it with metrics: compare focused vs. distracted periods. I've done this myself and it helped justify changes. Avoid emotional appeals. stick to facts. Managers respond to numbers, not complaints.
Ultimately, if denied, consider noise-cancelling headphones as a backup, but quantify their limitations too.
