    I had to tread lightly in explaining to the all women design team that just because you set the "font-weight: 300" in html emails, doesn't mean the users will see it that way. Even though it looks good on your computer.

    Also that Helvetica isn't installed on Windows by default and that their font hasn't been looking right for a while now.

    I think i haven't pissed off anyone.

    I recently saw a hearse, complete with coffin in the back, fully decorated with flower arrangements. The guy was speeding trying to make it, before a traffic light turned red. He wasn't fast enough, so he had to brake, causing the coffin to wobble dangerously, and make the flower arrangements slide forward at get noticeably messed up.

    If the coffin has flowers on it, I assume it has a body in it.

    What the actual fuck. This is like Russian dashcam videos posted on LiveLeak, but it happened in Copenhagen.

    Felt a bit nostalgic and went on Google Street view to check out the East Village neighborhood in NYC where I used to live about 10-12 years ago.

    The apartment building I was in back then seems to have had a face lift and then I checked the listings and prices of the apartments there now.

    About $3600 for 1BR!

    I was there in 2009-2010 and my rent was like $1700-1900 or so.

    Crazy how rent prices went up in NYC and Manhattan.

    I thought I wanted to get divorced from my wife. I did at the time. It was futile.

    She moved out. Getting help for her mental health.

    I was ok... until I made plans to move out of the home we shared and relocate. Now it's really hitting... When I look back through the photos of good times... It was perfect. It's all her emotional melt downs that I couldn't take anymore. But now I'm thinking, I should have seen it was her mental health and supported her better.

    Cue feelings of failure and guilt.

    I've been buying Kirkland White Tees from Costco for years and suddenly Costco have suddenly stopped making them! 6 for £30, tough, crew neck, long, soft cotton, well made, good fit. I'm distraught.

    Who makes a similar good quality basic cheap Tee?

    • Ebay still have some but at £40 per tshirt!

    • ha, I'm in a similar boat, trying to find a replacement for my Standard Uniqlo Top that I've been wearing for 16 odd years now.Nairn
    • Espirt from Zalando, decent quality.shapesalad
    • @Nairn. Yea Reddit says Uniqlo Supima are a good similar alternative. Twice the price but can't have everything. They are sold out everywhere though.Hayzilla
    • A medium quality basic cheap option is Decathlon.palimpsest
    • ^ I've bought from places like Primark but they are so thin and are like crop tops. I like a thicker, longish length.Hayzilla
    • @HZ - the quality at Uniqlo has dropped in recent years. I still have one of the 1st Gen tops (~16 years old) which fits and feels better than last year's batchNairn
    • Like, it's still soft-feeling and hasn't shrunk. Last year's batch are like fucking crop tops and I've been sashaying my bellybutton this season...Nairn
