lol yes, actually! Thank you. (This steam deck is the first non-mac computer I've had since my Dad's old DOS computer, and I've been too busy with life to actually try and figure some of this stuff out. I assume it's all probably fundamental to you, but not to me yet.)
I actually sympathize. My wife and I are small, so when we eat out, it’s usually just an appetizer and a main dish that we share, and then we still need to ask for a box.
My friends love eating out with me because half of my food usually makes its way to their plate and sometimes they get to finish my beer.
Here’s a tip. Take those fries home and stick them in the fridge. Fry them up in an omelette later.
Bro.
How about giving people the option to pay less for smaller portions? Is that not allowed for some reason? I’m a small guy, and every restaurant I visit in the west pretty much charges me double and gives me twice as much food as I could possibly handle. It sucks when traveling, because I can’t exactly just take it home.
Just curious. Why do you think young men turn to violence when they feel like they’ve lost control of a situation? Do you think they do it because it’s just in their nature, or because many might have found themselves in situations where discussion gets ignored, pleading makes things worse, running inspires pursuit, and aggression made it all stop?
I’m not saying this to diminish the problem of domestic violence against women, or as an attempt to argue against any of the statistics. I just think angrily blaming men for violence rather than attempting to understand how such a problem manifests in the first place will not make anything safer for anyone.
(I hope I don’t regret jumping in on this discussion.)
I’ve used Flipboard for a really long time. Not because I think it’s good or anything, but because I haven’t found anything that’s just so much better whenever I’ve looked. I particularly appreciate the widget on my Home Screen because it usually has at least one thing I’m inspired to read. I did install Feedly, but I don’t use that any more than Flipboard, and it seems to do the exact same thing.
If you or anyone else have recommendations to something tangibly better though, I’m all ears.
I measure the shit out of everything before I even go out to buy a TV. Having this feet design simply would have meant that either I wouldn’t have bought this televisi, or I already intend to replace the table.
For older games that are difficult to install or run by modern means., I think remakes and remasters are completely justified. Upgrades for older games to support newer technologies is nice, but something like TLoU Part 1 getting two remasters on a platform that has no issue running the first remaster already seems more exploitative and a waste of resources than conservational. If it sells like hotcakes, though, who am I to judge?
Honestly, I think the anti-glare might have been fine. I got the 512 because it was cheaper and I had heard some of the concerns about the vibrancy of the anti-glare. In retrospect, I doubt I would have cared that much. Plus the extra storage and dual case would are a pretty compelling value proposition as well.
I use it daily on my iPad Pro, and started using it regularly on my MBP.
iPad
I teach English. Basically instead of using a white board, I connect my iPad to a TV using a USB hub and use FreeForm with an Apple Pencil as my whiteboard. In the same "stage" as Freeform, I have a Safari window open to DuckDuckGo image search. If a student doesn't understand what something might be and my explanation doesn't suffice, I use safari to search an image, then I can just drag it into the freeform and add notes to it. After class, I export the FreeForm to PDF and email it to the students. I have another "stage" with Readdle Documents for doing PDF'd textbook work along with the students, paired with a small timer app and other simple class management tools.
Mac
In the past, I used to just have all my most used apps open to full screen. Primary desktop in the middle with a bunch of finder windows open, then swipe desktops left and right to reach different apps (or use command center or whatever it is to make bigger jumps quickly). I would put reference-based and background things like a browser, numbers, Slack, etc to the left of my desktop and production-based apps like Affinity Publisher, Pages, and Keynote to the right. I would keep a second desktop open for personal things like iMessage, safari, calendar to be open in windows.
With stage manager, now I just keep all my chat apps grouped in a stage, a group of finder windows in a stage, my email & calendar in a stage, and my safari windows in a stage. I still keep numbers, pages, and affinity in dedicated full-screen spaces because it's better for focusing. I feel the trade off is that my apps are better grouped and better organized. However, stage manager still pisses me off in several ways.
Issues
There's a limit to the number of stages you have access to on the side of your screen.
Mission Control doesn't group apps by stages and it makes everything super messy.
You can't open an app into a stage. It needs to be opened into its own stage, then you need to drag it into the one you want it in.
There's no way to preset and launch stages.
There could be better keyboard shortcuts for navigating stages.
Migrating an app from one stage of apps into a different one is tricky.
There's more but this is good enough and I need to go to work now.
Okay, time give the phone back to your mommy.
