Yup. Same.

Though I only have 3x 1080p ones so I have to fudge it and size the browser window across multiple monitors lol.

Hey, I pay for those pixels along the sides, so I expect them to get used once in a while 😆

Are you being sarcastic? That looks terrible. I hate when websites go for the CVS receipt layout.

Or did you just zoom way, way out for the screenshot? I’m on mobile so it already looks CVS-receipty.

Edit: Oh, you did just zoom way out, so I take a lot of that back. Still don’t think it looks great though. Cluttered and just “too much”.

Basically they’re arguing that the case against him was built partly on evidence from his time as president. I have no idea why the prosecutors have agreed to go along with that. Best guess is to keep things in the same case rather than have it go to a different trial/appeal?

Although the Manhattan case does not center on Mr. Trump’s presidency or official acts — but rather on his personal activity during the 2016 campaign — his lawyers argued on Monday that prosecutors had built their case partly on evidence from his time in the White House. And under the Supreme Court’s new ruling, prosecutors not only cannot charge a president for any official acts, but also cannot cite evidence involving official acts to bolster other accusations.

…

In response to the letter from Mr. Trump’s lawyers, the district attorney’s office wrote that prosecutors did not oppose Mr. Trump’s request to delay the sentencing. "Although we believe defendant’s arguments to be without merit, we do not oppose his request for leave to file and his putative request to adjourn sentencing pending determination of his motion,” wrote Joshua Steinglass, one of the assistant district attorneys who tried the case against the former president.

Yep, but I’d like to think they wouldn’t be as emboldened as they have been since 2016. That was 4 years of their worst impulses being coddled and, often, encouraged from the highest office in the country.

Should turn around and sue Nintendo for facilitating the facilitation of piracy by making the consoles in the first place.

I never really ran into that, and part of the curriculum for that class was editing / correcting other people’s documents.

Was that only if you imported a document from a different format, perhaps?

There were a few times I encountered slight formatting glitches, but we were taught to just turn on Reveal Codes to easily find/fix those.

I miss old-school WordPerfect. Our school was largely using Office 97, but one teacher preferred WP, and we had to use it in that particular class.

My biggest takeaway from it was that, contrary to what MS would have you believe, it is absolutely possible to put formatting options in logical places in menus. Everything about WP was just so intuitive.

If I didn’t hear the fire alarm, I certainly won’t hear your call.

Usually those are only 0% for a certain period of time. After that, the interest rates are typically higher than average.

So if you utilize it and pay it off completely during the 0% phase, they really don’t make any money. They make money when you carry a balance past that, or if/when you continue using that line of credit after the 0% period has ended.

That’s my understanding, anyway, as I have seen 0% APR offers, but they always are for a limited amount of time.

That, or there’s some kind of massive penalty if you miss a payment or something. Definitely read the fine print lol.

Lol, yup.

Normally, you’d be right on the money. It’s always some former congressperson/staffer dishing out all the illegal things they saw. Except instead of reporting it to the authorities, they want you to buy their book and read about it.

To be fair / credit where it’s due, he was vocally anti-Trump when he was still holding office. He and Cheney both, and they were ostracized for it.

Phone calls also assume the person on the other end wants to be bothered. If you choose to not answer, you’re treated like the a-hole and are expected to explain why (“I’ve been trying to call you. Why haven’t you picked up?”)

To quote Stephen Fry:

“A telephone is a fantastically rude thing. I mean, it’s like going ‘speak to me now! Speak to me now! Speak to me now!’. If you went to someone’s office and banged on their desk and said, ‘I will make a noise until you speak to me’ it would be considered unbelievably rude.”

(Disregard if NEW is an acronym, I guess lol).

Not trendy enough. How about NuWater?

I was thinking of “astronaut water” if we had to rebrand it.

Lol, I hate that you’re right :sigh:

Anyone who’s passed 5th grade science would know that water is fine, but that’s asking too much of more people than I’d care to imagine.

Funny you mention that.

Our city’s treatment plant was a frequent field trip destination. I think I went 3 times (two different class trips, and once again with my engineering club). All 3 times, the plant manager gave the tour and concluded it by drinking a glass of water out of the output pipe to show how clean the water was that they were putting back into the river. (Supposedly, anyway).

As proud as he was for what they did there and of the standards they had, I’m going to give him the benefit of doubt that it was the actual effluent from the plant he was drinking. He always seemed fine and never hesitated to down a glass of it.

So yeah, like you said, people probably haven’t been exposed to that to know how clean the water that comes out of treatment plants usually is.

In some parts of Phoenix AZ , they use the treated grey water to water grass golf courses

Using grey water for agriculture / irrigation purposes is pretty common. It’s why they tell you not to drink (or make sun tea) from the sprinkler water.

The issue is really when there are heavy rains and the treatment facilities are overwhelmed and RAW sewage gets dumped into the river

Yeah, that’s why combined sewer and stormwater systems have fallen out of use (and are illegal in most places now). That used to be a much bigger problem, but thankfully, most places have separated those systems and made it illegal to discharge stormwater into the sanitary sewers. My house still has the old connections where the gutter downspouts tied into the sewer line (house is from the 50s), but they’re capped with concrete.

Poor branding aside, it doesn’t really change anything, though. But yeah.

I at least appreciate the honesty in the naming rather than some marketing doublespeak. That said, I’d be okay with it if they called it “astronaut water” or something lol.

Lol.

Buying one lottery ticket is gambling. Buying 1,000 different lottery tickets is investing. Got it.
