Video clearly shows that the sandwich was fully wrapped. Why do they need to lie?

Florida religious zealots: We want tax $ to pay for religious schools!

Muslims use the program to pay for religious schools.

Florida religious zealots: Not like that!!!!!!!!!

For context, I am an old white man engineer. I've worked in large and small companies over my career. Almost without fail, even with DEI policies in place, a non-white person or woman still had to be 10x more qualified than their white male counterparts to be hired. Once in the organization, they were generally put into some dead end role while far less qualified white men were advanced to higher positions. When I worked in the bible belt southeastern USA, you had the added factor of protestant christians ruling the roost too.

I was in my mid-20s when Barney first aired. So many of my friends were having kids, so Barney was on at their houses frequently. He was hard to avoid sometimes and it was awful.

The study used a 44 inch TV at 2.5m. The most commonly used calculator for minimum TV to distance says that at 2.5m the TV should be a least 60 inches.

My own informal tests at home with a 65 inch TV looking at 1080 versus 4K Remux of the same movie seems to go along with the distance calculator. At the appropriate distance or nearer I can see a difference if I am viewing critically (as opposed to casually). Beyond a certain distance the difference is not apparent.

Cube farms weren't that bad.

Our Japan office went through a renovation after many years of the same old (like 30 year old) desks sitting side by side in an open space to a more modern open space. One big change though: no one has an assigned work space. You put your stuff in a box and then work out of that at whatever position you get that day. Meanwhile, the boss, went from sitting with everyone else to have his own private office with all his MLB, NFL, and other crap all over the walls and shelves.

Luckily I don't work in the Japan office.

I would disagree since getting a speaker with a "good" 10 or 12 inch driver is difficult or very expensive and impractical since those large drivers don't do well with mids and upper mids. The Tannoy, Klipsch heritage line, and similar old school designs with large drivers all measure like crap.
