I feel you. I'm 6'4" and the biggest hurdle is pants and shirt length. Unless they have tall sizes all shirts become halter tops if I even slightly raise my arms.

Pants are a pain in the ass too because I need at least 34" length for them to not be capris on me. Most companies just make all their pants 32".

There is a reason 90% of my clothing has come from Eddie Bauer for the last 15 years. I'm not particularly brand loyal. They just make clothes that fit me, and most companies don't.

Oh yeah, I have noticed that the virtual desktop switching on windows 11 sucks. It's extra shitty if you set a different wallpaper for each one.

When teams is just doing chat things, it's fine. But the fact that it's the only program that doesn't remember which monitor it is supposed to be on, and never remembers the show on all desktop settings, drives me insane. Not to mention that it seems to restart itself multiple time per day and makes me fix its location each time.

These AI corps really are determined to unnecessarily ham fist "AI" into everything, whether it makes sense or not.

When you have a new shiny hammer, everything looks like a nail.

I've had two root canals. One in 5th grade, and one in college. Local anesthesia only. It was a long painful process. Both teeth eventually failed anyway, and had to be pulled, and replaced with implants.

So my opinion is, if you can afford it just skip the extra misery and have them yank it out and replace it from the start.

Catcher In The Rye

What a miserable experience reading the whiney thoughts of that little shithead.

Maybe it would have been more relatable if I read it at 15, but I read it at like 28 and it was insufferable.

A close second is The Great Gatsby. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen and then just like that it was over.
