The wife and I are getting older. We have been working for decades at this point. But we are too young to retire, and we had kids late.

I'm always surprised when these weird freaks believing in trickle-down economics actually exist. Morons who still worship at the fecal stained feet of dementia Reagan.
It's pretty easy to just split the ultrawide into as many virtual monitors as you want. At least on Linux, I have zero experience on Windows or Mac. That said, I prefer 2 monitors, one vertical.

I'm not sure whether that's the flex they think it is. I'd rather have my bike designed by people who have a lot of experience, you know, designing and refining bikes.
I have a TCL A600DL phone, and recently I've been having issues with Google Messages being able to download images or other attachments.

When I have that happen, it's usually someone (I'm guessing on iPhone), sending an attachment to a group thread. It shows up in the group thread, but then it'll pop up in that person's individual thread and give me that warning. Not sure if that's what's going on. I think it also sometimes happens if I'm using the browser on my desktop for messages.

I would like to find a vehicle that is pedal powered (with the possibility of electric assist) that my wife and I can ride and transport our 3 dogs (all are over 70lbs) around town.

Any different bike costs are just crazy. A recumbent bike isn't that different from a regular bike, but costs far more for equivalent quality. Any velomobile-like vehicle is going to be niche and costly. Good luck, but I don't think you're going to find an inexpensive option unless you can find someone selling a used one.
Oh man, those green painted ones are such a low cost way for city gov't to say,"See?? We care, we're doing all this." I live in a city by Irvine and they did the same thing, and are just smuggly happy about what they've accomplished.

I'm OK with grants for certain things/times/whatever. But it seems like if the owner is worth billions and comes to the gov't for a handout, the gov't should just tax them correctly and say,"No you."
That comes out to abnout $87,000 per employee. I'm sure those lower pay scale employees who really appreciated that were happy to get...oh, wait. What's that? Of that amount, a total of $11,276,700 was handed out as bonuses to BDC’s top 10 executives. of course, give money to those that least need it. Yay capitalism.
Also, $11 million to the top 10 vampires. It's not like from that point on it was all shared equally. I wonder what was left after the rest of the worthless executives got their blood money. Nope, shit like that is always in favor of further wealth distribution from the lowers.
