Never pay full price for Ruth's Chris. At Costco, you can buy Ruth's Chris $100 giftcard for $80. It's available all the time. Most of the fancier steakhouses, the sides are shared. If it wasn't on the menu, your server should've noticed and told you when you ordered so many sides. That's poor service on the part of your waiter and I would've took it out of the tip.
the technique employed by Peter Luger's is mindboggling. yet somehow it works for them...
Paying more money so they can chop off the top of the monitor is usually never a good idea. Remember in monitors, "wide" really means "short". That said, 1280 horizontal pixels per window is usually enough for most common software (internet browsing and Word for example). The 1080 pixel height in a monitor that large though would give me a headache.Recently upgraded from a 27" LCD monitor to a 34" IPS ultrawide. In short, it's a let-down.
Recently upgraded from a 27" LCD monitor to a 34" IPS ultrawide. I don't see a huge improvement but it wasn't ungodly expensive at least. I thought I would be able to take advantage of the wider screen with multiple windows but at the 2560x1080 res, it's not so wide that I can have 2 windows open at decent width anyway. Maybe the QHD at 3440x1440 would be much better. In short, it's a let-down.

you can do that in the free version?fwiw, DisplayFusion lets you do virtual monitor splitting:

I've found it to be pretty useful on ultrawides & 4K screens because you can divide up the screen for auto-snapping of windows.
Yesterday I stopped by a junkyard to get a dpare wheel for my truck. I ask if they have any mid 2000s dakotas in the yard, and there's an 03 out there somewhere, and my truck's an 05. Great!
You have to pay $2 to get in the yard(grumbles...), and you can't drive back there :^S
So... I walk my ass .25m to the back of the lot where the trucks are, and look through rows of trucks arranged in no particular order. After 15 minutes of walking, I find the dakota. Steel wheels, but it doesn't matter. I just want something that'll get me off the side of the road. The slip the guy gave me said it would fit my truck.
So... I walk my ass .25m back to the office to get my lugwrench, then walk .25m back to the truck to remove the wheel...
Did I mention all the vehicles are up on 'blocks'? They use a naked wheel set perpendicular in another naked wheel, and the car sits on that. Looks squirrelly as shit, but apparently it's pretty solid. Didn't see any fallen cars.
So... any of you have tried to break a lugnut on a spinning wheel can see where this is headed... I'm trying to find shit to stick in the wheel to keep it from spinning, and I'm not finding anything. Get a tire, and try to stuff it against the wheel. That works; kinda... Between that, and holding the wheel between my knees, I get three of the nuts off. Some clever motherfucker used more than one kind of nut on the wheel, and my lugwrench doesn't fit the last three.
So... I dig around in the backs of these vehicles, trying to find a shitty factory lugwrench, and ~15 minutes later come up with something that'll fit.
I get the last three nuts off. Did I mention I have a bad back? Fucking around with that stupid truck has my back tweaked. I pick up my newly freed wheel, and start my .25m walk back to the office. Halfway there, one of the lot guys drives by, and takes the tire/wheel the rest of the way. I get to the office, pay my $47(grumbles...), and load the wheel in the back of my truck, back's throbbing...
Get to the next job, and I'm looking at the wheel; 6 lug. I then look at the wheel on the truck; 5 lug #@$!
I'm out $50, the wheel's in an old van at the office, and I still don't have a spare.
I regret that purchase
I bet he won't even give you the Windows key or admit that the PSU was on its last leg.I bought a used computer from a neighbor. It stopped working so I opened it up to see what the problem was. The video card was misaligned like someone installed it using a rock for a hammer. I re-seated the card but still no luck. I called the seller who referred me to his technician. The technician has been giving me nothing but lip. Now the neighbor and his technician are finger-pointing at each other and neither will take responsibility for the bum machine.
you can do that in the free version?
hm.. 4 windows of 1720 x 720

34" 2560x1080 makes baby jesus cry.
my Dell 27" that I got 3yrs is 2560 x 1440.
34" 3440x1440 sounds amazing but honestly, dual 21" 1920 x 1080 would be easier for multiple windows.
(and cheaper)
One example of that is my garage door. While my opener would open the door, I had no idea that the spring was actually far too loose... until the garage door refused to open. I never knew about the "drop test" with garage doors (detach it from the opener, raise it halfway and let it go... it should stay in place). Chances are that the door failed when I bought the house, and I ended up having to pay to get it fixed.

Man all this steak house talk makes me want to get an annova
Though, I make a really good prime rib roast with a reverse sear.

Generally speaking Samsung products are good on paper but in practice kind of suck overall. But they have the materials science down with their AMOLED tech and not one can match that. and they can make impressively skinny phones. But everything else is the worst in the industry.
