I disagree specifically with Myst and Riven because the real magic for me is in the audio (tantamount to ASMR) and that remains high enough quality. The visuals are mostly just helper references for what you’re hearing with the audio. I sus

Philly is known as the city of brotherly love so there was a movement on r/nfl to have it be named the brotherly shove. Never quite caught on though. Often lost in the debate is the fact that the Philly QB is uncommonly athletic for hi

Carlos Cabana, head of equity sales and trading at CastleOak, dubs the room a “diversity pool,” because the participants are all minority-operated brokerage firms. While in this instance CastleOak doesn’t know specifically who is on the ot
