I didn't go in, but there were a couple nice looking jackets under a "Sale" sign that caught my eye. I'll check it out sometime.

I have 2 suits: funeral suit and wedding suit.

I read Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson earlier this year. It took me around 5 months because I was determined to finish it but HATED reading it. There's some good world building and ideas going on, but it was just a slog. I'm normally a kind of slow reader, but it doesn't take me half a year to finish a book.

And so the direct answer to the question would be: Neal Stephenson. Just doesn't seem to be for me.

What comment?

This is the internet, Steeve. We don't do critical thinking here.

Ahhh. See, I usually couple my attempts with something like "you God damned piece of fucking shit just fucking open why do they even put these stupid fucking things on here." I'll try just grunting though.

No way that's real.

This is honestly my favorite comment in the thread. I keep laughing about it.

I always go thumb from the top, so pretty much same position as photo 2. Still not happening.

Haha. Now that you mention it, I only reach for a knife when they really piss me off. Usually I just open it like a normal box.

It isn't a tab until you puncture the box, is it? Maybe I could try peeling it (kind of looks like it on that one), but usually it's clearly supposed to have some sort of perforation.

I swear to God, in all my life I feel like it's only worked fewer than 5 times.

The strengths/weaknesses are ingrained in my brain from studying that manual. I thought it was common knowledge.

I think of them as "example given" and "in essence" which is close enough to remind me which to use.

Probably. My quick search is only turning up articles from 20 years ago when the partnership started: "The deal is worth US$37.2 million over the next four years."

I'm sure it varies by state and maybe district, but around here, it's iPads K-5, then MacBooks 6-12.

We've let Apple buy its way into our school systems. Of course kids are going to gravitate toward iPhones. Part of their schooling every day from Kindergarten is using iOS.

Yeah, I don't know how it's going to help YT or creators, but having a completely empty home screen with just a logo and search box is fantastic.

Haha. In this context? Generally meaning 80s college radio and 90s rock music. You know. Cool music.

Because I'm old and I like alternative music.

Just imported my old theme and I'm so GD happy right now.
