The domain transfer rules change on Friday. After that, any request to transfer a domain that is not denied within 5 days will automatically go through.

How is this okay!??

Pharmacists refusing to fill prescriptions they don’t believe in

To the best of my knowledge, these are not all documented together somewhere convenient, but if they are, please point them out.

The rawformat blog points out a nice one, which lets you see where your highlights and shadows are being clipped based on your raw conversion settings:
