5 ft 3.3 in

While that is indeed long, I would have thought the record would have been much longer than that.

I know I need an eye exam, but did The Guardian actually take a photo of an image on a monitor like a boomer and post it at the top of their article?

We have a client at work, who will take a picture on his phone of an email on his monitor. He will then print out and then annotate that email with a pen, take a picture with his phone. Email it back to himself, then finally forward that email, presumably back from his desktop.

I work as a software developer and I hate clients. You would think you could code for most reasonable use cases, then you meet clients and they’re anything but reasonable or sane.

Current client wants their new software to work the same as their old one, when we spec’d out a new system with a better way of doing things and they agreed. Now in integration testing and they want everything changing to be more like the old one, even though it’s dumb and they should be open to change.
