You will see the same thing on any online real estate listing. I spend more time wondering why it looks so weird than I do looking at what the picture is attempting to show.

Hoo-boy, had I gone I'd have missed the first 20 minutes of the movie. Since movies now have preassigned seats I generally aim for 15-20 minutes after the time on the ticket.

I imagine most people when reading this think: "I can see that, anything for fashion." Shrug and think nothing more of it. What would the reaction be were the sexes reversed and the guy said: "Please put my wallet and phone

I did it on IPS laptop display and got 175. On my OLED phone I got 179. I am more in agreement with the phone results, but the turquoise on the phone looked even greener to me.

I still have PTSD from pre-COVID days when I would be working at in my cubicle and have someone "drive-by" with a quick question and plop their laptop on my desk. "Can I ask you a question?" (Ugh) "Sure." It m

Same here. I came away wondering if I had fallen for click bait. I try to stare hard at the thing I wish to put down for at least a count of two. That usually brings me "into the moment" and I put it where it belongs. I don&#x2

Would a 1 year ban for H1B for Apple be that big of a problem after a "significant" layoff? Or maybe can only apply for up to a maximum of some (10%? 15%? 25%) percentage of the last year's layoffs?

I stand corrected, I believe they could get an injunction to prevent me from propagating the petunias (currently on order!), but likely wouldn't be worth the trouble.

Missed this and commented separately. Thanks for reminding me of the model. This was my upgrade to the TI 99/4 I drove across the state of CT to spend 995 1980-ish dollars on.
