It does though. Installing a matte screen protector was one of the very first things I did after I got it.

Put a matte screen protector on my iPad a few years ago to cut down on the glare and that was it, everything had to be that way from then on.

Downside is you do lose some image crispness but it's so very worth it for the huge reduction in glare.

Also matte protectors aren't nearly as popular so there's a lot smaller selection to chose from.

Mint (MATE). It's preconfigured closest to what I want, with just a couple tweeks I can do whatever I need with utilities and a GUI I'm familiar with.

If Its a headless machine Ubuntu or Debian. Again familiar with both can do whatever on both without having to relearn low to build a wheel.

Primarily a windows user but I do use Linux for some applications.

Voting by mail as usual.

Trying to avoid customers that can't shut up about how wonderful trump is.

"I think he's the antichrist but he's doing a good job"

You know, bat shit insane things republicans say.

Glow in the dark tape on the front and back of my phone and on the tips of the chargers.

I had to get some clear heat shrink tubing to put over the charging cable ends to hold the tape in place otherwise it unravels after a few days use.

Sure they make lit USB cables but not in 20ft+

I'd really have preferred to have a bright solid glow in the dark phone case but for whatever reason barring I have one 3d printed (which will then not have the same protection of a normal cheap rubberized case) there isn't anything like that available.

Lead poisoning, it used to be popular for plates and cups cuz it made the food taste better (because the lead leached in and lead has a sweet taste), then later indoor plumbing (sometimes with lead pipes) became common like a decade prior to the founding of the Republican party in the 1850s. We didn't get leaded gas until the 1920s

Anyone considered getting rid of leaded avgas yet?

Or testing food for lead more stringently?

Like they had children suffering from lead toxicity recently from contaminated applesauce packages and it takes a fuckton of lead to cause toxicity.

as it seemed disingenuous to present both sides as equal

Because it is.

New York is a real place. Does that mean spiderman is real?

He had them ready to give him a third term before he finished his first.

Remember back when the republicans were all saying he was entitled to a third term because his first was nullified by the failed impeachment?

Didn't he already present one? Just it was so bad it was going to cause something like 20 million people to lose their insurance? So he couldn't even get the republicans to vote for it?... Went back and checked https://www.npr.org/2017/05/24/529902300/cbo-republicans-ahca-would-leave-23-million-more-uninsured yeah that did actually happen.

Still can't figure out why their voters either don't see it or don't care.

Like at least prior to trump you could kinda see it but now you just have to be in outright denial of reality.

IMHO the one in the middle is the most comfortable to use.

I bought a pack of a hundred of them and put several everywhere I thought I might look for one.
