1. I understand your decision today let this go, once you made sure your kid's friend is taken care of.
2. Letting them stew is not all that petty. They just had to suffer the natural consequences of being stingy on the one official "abundance" holiday in our country.

Mr DePlume used to be a restaurant manager. One Sunday his place got swamped because the restaurant at the other end of the block ran out of steak.
Not just any restaurant, mind you.
It was an Outback Steakhouse.
On Father's Day.
Ran. Out. of. Steak.

I am terminally allergic to making people mad at me, but for a young adult with nowhere to go? I would absolutely burn that bridge.

I understand the wish for group chats, but TBH I don't want any more channels of communication to have to check.

I have a MacBook Air 15" and it can handle anything I've thrown at it. The larger size helps me go without a second monitor more often. (I still need two screens for work sometimes, though)

My daughter has an iPad with a Zagg Pro Keys cover (much cheaper than the apple version, of course). She has a laptop too, but for classes/note taking, she pretty much only uses the iPad.

They usually just say par-FUM, but in a weird breathy voice that I assume they think sounds more French.

The streaming ad algorithm mostly makes me happy that I don't have any of the aggressive mitotic-latent, inter-receptive, transgenomic, lustrous-flocculent autoimmune cancers treeated by the drugs they show me day in and day out.

This all reminds me of the "good old days" of the internet when you'd hear about a brain bleach-inducing situation, but wouldn't probably actually understand the reference until A) you turned off 'safe search' or B) you went to Urban Dictionary.
