@Fragglemuppet using image descriptions here has improved how I write image captions for the interpretive signage I design. Like you say, it’s good practice, and it reminds me to look a bit deeper into my own images when posting, to see things I didn’t, even when I made the image. Thanks!

@skinnylatte that is a lovely lil’ camera 😍

@msbellows @GottaLaff the workaround is the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. It’s an agreement among participating states to award all their electoral votes to whichever presidential ticket wins the overall popular vote. It would come into effect only when it would guarantee that outcome.

@thomasfuchs I had to move several of those by hand during an overnight office reorg and my back can confirm the heftiness

@Gargron those Arris are great. We had a bunch of those in the studio way back in the day and are real workhorses!

@Gargron Kodachrome Forever!

@thomasfuchs I believe they’re doing this with anti-cancer immunotherapy treatment but it’s pretty high-cost, high-effort at the moment. Someday I bet it will migrate down to cold-flu-other viral meds.

@thomasfuchs and as long as it’s not aligned above or below any VESA mounting points right-angled ports coming out of the back wouldn’t create a usability issue. Probably also why Apple placed their ports on the lower right back corner of their still-great Thunderbolt Displays.
