@kathytzhou #1 most of the time. fits 16:9 aspect ratio presentations best. I found myself squinting at resized decks when using layout #3

#2 for no-slide meetings with < 9 people. can be cumbersome for bigger meetings -- maybe the currently active speaker gets copied into the center tile?

[Brian Tuan @BTuanAndOnly]

why is geoduck pronounced "gooey-duck" and why have we just accepted that as a fact

[Brian Tuan @BTuanAndOnly]

how does associativity work in the phrase "no news is good news"? Like:

a. is the lack of news positive? or
b. is it negating the statement that news is good?

urgently need answers thanks
