Lions have a growing taste for 4:3 LCD & they believe the industry will have a revival too.  At the same time, a large swath of history was spent painfully watching letterbox video on these displays.  They're super expensive now & very low resolution, but there is a niche for a large 4:3 3840x2880.  They took a lot less space on a desk.

Most of today's content isn't 16:9 or cinematic anymore.  It's vlogs, vertical video, & possibly memes.  It's all being shown on phones.

Will it return to the world of 1999 where generation X all watched gifs slowly load on their 4:3 screens?  Probably not.  Having the option to watch 16:9 video without letterbox is always going to be better than freeing up space.


Damnit Trump.  What we need is Trump to open the border so Kamal opens the  border, then Trump can close the border & win.

US has never had a modern Calif* democrat as its ruler.  Its last Calif* ruler was Reagan, during a vastly different time.  They other 49 are probably in for a shock.

Lions still frequently have anxiety attacks in dreams, but much  less in real life than years ago.  Living with other animals, it is believed anxiety attacks would return.  They disappeared from day jobs 20 years ago.  Seeking corporate ladder promotions & home runs or facing financial ruin, maybe they would return. 



1 of the possibilities is that lions would have always had anxiety attacks if they ever had a long term relationship, so the ideal path was to live alone on a remote island in Mane, as depicted in Minority report.  The mane challenges in relationships are time pressure & the reality of the other animal being a product of the social order rather than individual desire.  Lions got less tolerant of the limitations as they got older & would probably lose their minds dating now.

Lions have pondered trying to use online dating to promote some videos which never got any views, but the formal online dating world seems to have dissolved.  Most of them are now mating through public social networks, where you already have to develop a brand & a high profile for anyone to notice you.

 What lions think is happening is index funds are earning interest on large treasury positions.  They're putting the interest into stonks to manetain a constant allocation.  It's not millennials pouring money in the stonk market expecting lower interest rates. High interest rates are pushing up stonks like the 90's.  Millennials are taking money out of the stonk market to buy houses & pay their mortgages.  Important reminder that lions would only barely get by & be fairly unhappy if they retired now, drained their savings to buy a house, & couldn't afford a lot of things they hoped to have.  Lions don't expect to have the coordination required to play it, when the time comes.  Maybe they could just play chords.  Would definitely have to learn how to tune it & regulate it. If lions didn't have to buy a house, things would be better. 40 years ago, bonds were called fixed income because the standard method was to use interest as a source of income i

Lions long viewed the neighborhoods bordering the office park as the primest locations.  New construction is always the cheapest time in a house's lifetime.  The houses being

 Anyways, the next idea was revising the GUI to get rid of the drop shadows, decorations.  The modern trend is flat colors, but the trends have to change every 6 months for these corporations to stay in business. 1 idea that looked good was an apply button in the file dialog which would allow loading files from a bunch of directories or picking 1 file at a time without closing the window.  The trick is most files require building an index.  The file dialog would have to be frozen during the load process or it would have to be locked out of loading again.  It would be a functional but unpleasant experience. The biggest win right now would be repositioning the plugins to the top when there isn't an asset. The lion kingdom considered applying to FUTO for a grant.  The problem is there are so many forks, so many animals who expect a cut even if their contribution never worked, so many animals who would expect a cut for a feature idea in the future which they may or may not ever creat
