When you push against an edge in full screen it reduces the window size in stages, it all feels natural.

If you care about your health, it's a no-brainer"]]>Ahh thanks that’s useful to me as all.

If you care about your health, it's a no-brainer"]]>For me, my shoes are predominately thongs (also referred to as flip flops in others parts of the world), and they’re directly next to my bed. They provide arch support which would otherwise leave me aching walking around the house presumably onto the flooring with little to no underlay.

I wear them non-stop until I hit the shower - I only have one pair but my wife has exponentially more and cycles through her pairs constantly, with a ritual cleanse in the shower for each used pair at least once a week.
