I do, and I prefer 2560x1440
I still have a ~30 year old tube tv that has never needed anything, it still works... But I've been through at least 4 HDTVs.
Every part doesn't have to last forever if the parts can be replaced...
That's ICE's story, which is worth about as much as the dump I'm taking right now.
Jesus I had forgotten about that one...
If only those guys had just complied...
Doing anything about it is a risk most can't afford to take. Smart rich people are worried, they know what will happen as the dumb rich people keep squeezing us... Eventually we'll reach the point where we have nothing left to lose, and that's when shit will hit the fan, suddenly and without warning.
I grew up in Boston, it was not only accepted, but expected.
There's an etiquette to elevators and subway trains and buses, and really any other confined space- it's better for everyone if you let people get off before you try to get on.
When I first moved to Phoenix, I was on an elevator at a mall, when the doors opened for my floor, two teenage girls tried to push their way past me and my wife... But I'm a pretty big guy, so I just kept walking. The one that was directly in front of me got knocked on her ass. I felt a little bad, I hadn't intended to hit her that hard... But only a little.
It probably helped put her mom at ease that I am woman
Probably somewhat... As a man, it's a crapshoot what kind of reaction I'll get if I try to help someone else's kid. Last time I was ice skating with my kids, a little (like 4 years old I'd guess) girl had fallen, she was getting quite upset, she was trying to get up but couldn't get her skates to cooperate. Her older sister (who wasn't much bigger) was just standing there kind of helpless while their dad (who didn't have skates on, so wasn't allowed on the ice) yelled incoherent instructions from 20 feet away. I asked the girl if it was ok if I helped her- she didn't even say anything, just grabbed onto me, and let me pull her to her feet- and that's when the dad decided to ignore the rules and walk out onto the ice himself finally. He grabbed her with a bit of a dirty look in my direction. They left shortly after.

Lol 25 years ago I was riding a 400 10 miles (16km?) (each way) to work in 20°F (so -6-7c?) weather... Just have to stay bundled up. I drew the line at snow.
