Wouldn’t your eye level be about 4 or 5 inches below your height?

I just checked, and my eye level is 58.5” from the ground, and I’m only 5'5". Centering things at 57" inches from the floor seems a bit low.

Per the article, “center of the artwork should be 57 inches from the ground”

I missed the part where Stephen said that.  Oh that’s because he didn’t

“I’M SO AMERICAN I DON’T EVEN WANT TO BE AN AMERICAN ANYMORE!!”

What’s missing: the irony of an all-black flag for an all-white America.

I have to push back on the “elbows on the table”. What exactly is so offensive about this? It’s comfortable, it helps me lean forward and engage in conversation. It feels like a 19th century Emily Post recommendation because everyone’s elbow sleeves were caked in manure from working in the fields all day, and we’ve

I know I’m far from perfect myself, but the one that drives me crazy is not letting people finish their sentences and it seems rampant as of late.
