I worked at the Gap and Banana Republic all through high school and college. This was well known amongst the sales staff. There's a small amount of variation between each pair of jeans because of how they're cut and how the materi

Are there? Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts are awful in comparison to the TikTok experience. Red Note is funny, but not really a replacement. Nobody is going to go to Snap.

Honestly, my TV is connected to my AppleTV, and that is connected to the internet. I don't use any of the "smart" functionality of the TV. I don't even use the remote for anything.

The restaurants didn't want a "buffered bike lane" as you describe because they would lose the ability to put parklets (extra seating in a parking space) in parking spaces. I agree though, buffered bike lanes would be prefera
