Conan is only the soft version anyway. The original had some more interesting points on the list.

It's easy - live to be 99 and then be really careful for a year.

85. Air on a g string? (4)
|
|
|
|
|
TUNE (assuming G refers to a guitar/violin string tuned to 196.0 Hz)

Tough to argue with, but not what I had in mind.
|
|
|
|

Yeah, considering TUNE is a synonym of air.

That's weird or maybe ironic. I just can't get my head arounf Cryptic Crossword Clues at all, sometimes after I see the answer I still can't work backwards to get it.
This clue I didn't even think guitar, I went straight to a string up the arse crack and it was obvious.
I think there needs to be more gutter type CCC so I have at least a hope of getting an answer.

I am older and my eyes aren't what they used to be. Does anyone have contact details for the person (no doubt a millenial) who is responsible for the trend towards grey backgrounds and slightly different grey text? I would like to make a suitable sacrifice to him or her so that this punishment is remitted.

think of the benefits...
I recently bought a new 27" monitor (for 2nd screen). Was looking at 4k models - a quite good one was on a very good special, almost bought it. Then realised my current 25" 2K was a bit of a strain when I'm tired, so for $100 less I got the equivalent spec 27" 2K. (Very nice.) Why buy a 4K just to scale the damn thing back up 200% or more?
So what I'm saying is being a bit older much wiser why pay more for the likes of 4K screens and super-hi-res phones with giga-pixel lenses when you've only got at best 2K eyes.
More money for the kids inheritance kidding, meant quality food, drink, even furniture etc.

Thank you, but bother. I have three screens and now have a lust for three 4K screens. Might have to sell the dog.

I've been wondering that myself. Which is why I use a 40" 4K TV and run it at its native resolution - rescaling is just a waste of pixels IMNSHO.

I'm not even old (just above 20) and rarely do I have to go above 1080p...

Actually, it's something they just copied from TV commercials (i.e., the hell-spawn known as marketing) with fine print they really really really don't want to read.
Coming to mind: Senior insurance for $9.95/month: amazingly tiny light blue text on a medium blue (but not solid color) background.
By the way - even if you got your wish - can you read 15 lines of fine print in the 3 or 4 seconds they give you? Maybe it's better you don't even notice it's there.
