I’d describe the color of this area as more of a rich white.

The mail carrier used pepper spray to stop the defendant.

Please let there be video. I need it.

Imagine paying to read CNN, specifically. There are respectable newspapers that people won’t pay for.

It’ll backfire and they’ll fall back on more ads. 10 minutes of ads for every 2 minutes of political talk shows. On their website, an ad between every paragraph.

So the robots are now more successful at proving they’re human than I am.

I think they’d do two things if they want to keep the buy button. 1) Not require always online connections to play, or properly remove the online requirement or convert to P2P in the case of multiplayer games if they want to end support, or 2) sell their server infrastructure to a third party.

I assume this law is to preempt demand for something similar to the EU’s “stop killing games” petition. It’s a way to say that consumers were made aware and agreed that their games are only temporary licenses, so they can’t demand refunds or continued support when the company wants to stop.

There should be an exception: If they want to still say “buy” or fail to comply, they will need to refund the full original purchase price if they ever shut down the server.

Next do planned obsolescence and products that are designed to break a week after the warranty expires.

Maybe the problem is your ATV resolution is not matched to the TV’s native resolution. If your TV is 4K, go to settings > audio & video and choose 4K (or 1080p or whatever it should be.) This shouldn’t cause a cropped image, but it’s worth setting correctly anyway, so check it.

You can try audio & video settings > Adjust for Airplay Overscan (check that it’s not on or off. Try toggling it on and off.) But this is unlikely to be the problem unless it was accidentally turned on.

Check that Accessibility > Zoom is not turned on. Try toggling it on and off. Same as above - unlikely, but make sure it’s off.

Now that that’s all sorted, it’s time to actually fix the problem:

The calibration screen you’re looking at is meant to be a reference for when you adjust your TV’s overscan/underscan/zoom/“just scan” settings directly. The Apple TV simply sends a signal to your TV like any other device, and your TV needs to be set to display that signal at the correct ratio/zoom. This is always adjusted on the TV, not on the source device.

You should be able to fix the problem in your TV’s menu somewhere. It should be in video settings, but sometimes it’s in the quick menu for some reason, or it might be in a settings menu for individual inputs. It’s there somewhere - look for the keywords “overscan, underscan, zoom, or just scan.” “Just Scan” is often the setting you want. Check your manual if you can’t find it. Keep that calibration screen up to verify that you’re choosing the correct setting.

If you really can’t find it, try plugging into a different input to see if it happens to already use the correct setting. Better yet, call LG support.

The bacteria that causes Listeria is extremely resilient and can survive on surfaces for a long time. There’s one known case of it persisting for 10 years in a meat processing plant. It can survive in cold temperatures and even in salty and acidic environments.

That means it could still be stuck to deli slicers, deli counters, deli fridges, people’s fridges, people’s counters, etc. And it spreads through not just Boar’s Head products directly, but through every product that came in contact with any equipment that came in contact with Boar’s Head products.

This needed more than just a recall. It needed education for consumers and decontamination rules and instructions for delis and grocery stores, followed by thorough surface testing.

I lucked out - the deli I use doesn’t sell any dirty Boar’s Head slop. If they did, I’d probably drop them permanently.

At the very least, buy large jugs of purified water and use a permanent refillable bottle. It still creates plastic waste, but it’s a lot less than pounding down small bottles all the time. It’s also much cheaper, and if the bottle is vacuum-insulated, more efficient and enjoyable.

Small plastic bottles have their uses in some situations, but buying them all the time as your main source of drinking water is just silly.

Just heard some pundits talking about Andrew Cuomo getting ready to swoop in and run if Adams resigns. They’re gonna elect Andrew fucking Cuomo next, probably.
