why are flip vertical and flip horizontal different from photoshop to illustrator?
- imbecile0
there i was doing seven over the speed limit when an officer decides to pull me over to inform me of my speed (thanks officer, my speedometer works just fine though). When all of a sudden he decides my vehicle smells like marijuana and asks to search my vehicle. I simply replied with "why?" and was invited to sit in the back of his car wearing heavy silver bracelets while some other cop brought his pet dog to rummage through my vehicle. An hour later I'm home, head spinning and feeling wide awake. #nospeedingticket #wtf

- protect and serve ™inteliboy
- Had a cop pull me over and ask to search my car. I said "No". They left. Guess I'm not surprised they pulled that shit in your situation. Assuming no weed?studderine

seriously though, why don't flip horizontal and flip vertical do the same thing from adobe to illustrator?
- *photoshop to illustratorimbecile

I sent a tube with three prints to make a large triptych to Utah. Sent it on Monday Oct 17th to hopefully arrive by Friday Oct 21st. The customer had purchased it as a Bday gift for her husband. The Bday was Oct 21st. I went to one of those mom n pop mailbox etc./ups stores. I opted for the cheapest shipping which was USPS ground. I sent the customer the tracking info, and said thank you. She messages me a day later that the tracking info says it will arrive the 27th. So I said shit! sorry about that, I should have sent it earlier or faster shipping. I offered her a 15% refund and to let me know when it arrives.
To this day she still has not received it. So after talking to the USPS they tell her that it arrived in Colorado on the 25th and never left. They think the package is lost and they will contact her in three days. I told her this was not her fault and that I would refund her all the money she spent and offer her any of my prints up to 16" x 24" size for free.
So the price she paid was $240 and it cost me $100 to print and ship everything. So now I have to refund her all $240 and send her a free print when she wants. Or, I told her we can wait the three days and see what happens, and if it does not arrive then I can ship the same order to her and use a better shipping method with insurance (like I should have done the first time).
I'm so fucking pissed!
lessons learned:
-never, ever use USPS again. always UPS or FedEx
-always purchase insurance
-stop offering free shipping
-write some kind of disclaimer on my website that says, "not responsible for lost or stolen packages" or some shit like that.
how would you guys deal with this?
- all of the abovemonospaced
- that sucks, if it happens again never use them again, plus you should take out insurance for these types of situations.utopian
- what if it's delivered and she doesn't tell you?Hayoth
- The sku gets scanned at various stages including when it arrives at the recipients local post office. Shouldn't be any question if they received it or notterry_cloth
- I've had packages taken (stolen) from my doorstep before after successful delivery. Not all deliveries require signatures and some are just left there.monospaced
- Idk fedex lost 3 very expensive packages for a week last week. I talked to 10 different fedex ppl. My packages are split up and ended up on the other side of thshellie
- I just fucking got the last one yesterday and i had to pick it up in deep brooklyn at the shipping station. Smh that cost me a ton in lost sales.shellie
- Usps is actually great. Get insurance and signature and delivery confirmation tho. You have to ask for it. Signatures cost 2 or 3 more bucks.shellie

Back in August of 2009 I interviewed at Trump University for a design role (was doing a lot of real estate web work at the time). Peculiar experience and it was clear that it wasn't a good fit at all. Funny how everyone I met with have since removed all traces of the company from their social media profiles...

For those who are looking to diversify what you are doing or cultivate other possible career option and sometimes can happened accidentally.
The 1hour min rule works.
spend a min 1 hour on something you like as a hobby. complement it with another study almost like cross training. or keep changing the study till you find something complementary.
when you reach a certain point of mastery do a presentation to a relevant audience. if you are good people would like to work with you and you build connections. doors open up. look into online options like youtube also, judge the you are working on.

Did some freelance work and thought it would be simple and client was like "we'll pay by the hour" and then it took me 15 hours and I feel bad.
Client and I both thought it would take like 8 but they're fine with it.
Why do I feel guilty charging for 15 hours?
- Because you said it would take 8 and now you've essentially doubled the price for the same thing as a result, that's why. Happens all the time.monospaced
- Happened to me not long ago. I adjusted the estimate for the next project with the same client. They weren't happy but they didn't fight.monospaced

i bought a bunch of fence boards, and after a few days several of 'em look like this:
i guess they steamed 'em or something to make 'em straight enough to sell? then after drying at home their true shape is revealed. pretty messed up.
thanks, home derpot
- this thing is bent to the left, too– it's not just curled up, it's not even straight. and they were stored flat!scarabin
- gather the shitty ones and bring them back?PonyBoy
- lay them down flat, put some weight on them, wet them a little.moIdero
- when it rains i feel like they'd just bend right back.
i'm too lazy to return 'em... just gonna marvel at it and not buy any more cheap woodscarabin - i hate returning shitmoIdero
- can you do the re-wet / flatten thing and then be sure to nail that shit in place quickly so it'll hold it's new shape? where's Terry? He'd have a solution...PonyBoy
- it's no big deal, just a cheap lesson in what not to use. it's funnier than it is aggravating :)scarabin
- curious though if i got a bad batch or if when fencing a certain percentage of boards should be expected to be unuseablescarabin
- that's green lumber need to store properly or use. there usually some cull though. less if used quickly. dont forget to store with stickersdeathboy
- Make a curved fence!face_melter
- what deathboy said. if it gets direct sunlight while still wet they will bow and crown. make sure the pt you buy is also kdterry_cloth

So tired of using my Neti pot every few hours to open my sinuses up. Weather changes in fall always does this to me. Looks like liquid flan gushing out of me.
- Damn, me too but because it's spring and I've decided that this year, Sydney will give me hay fever like a bastard.MrT
- I've suffered similar symptoms for decades. I found having a humidifier running at least 4-6 hours a day in my house works wonders.utopian
- The first five of six years we lived in our condo, the furnace humidifier didn't work. I had a new one put in in Feb., and within 3 days felt so much better.mg33
- All that dry air for five winters was horrible. The humidifier made such a difference.mg33

My apartment's balcony was recently painted. The only access to paint it was via a crane-lift that was here for a good 3 weeks. I keep / store a few things out there... not of much value but of value to me.
Fuckers (had to be the painters) took a goalie stick from my balcony and cut all the tape off the blade. The stick belonged to Sean Burke when he was still playing on the Phoenix Coyotes. He gave it to me personally during an interview in which I was videoing / photographing for a magazine I used to work for... it was a simple gift from him to me that he gave me when nobody was looking. The stick was used in a number of games and the tape was nicely used / scuffed-up... he signed it on the tape "Kevin, make me look good! - Sean Burke #1" Nothing special... not worth a FUCKING DIME on the sports market... but meant the fucking world to me.
The pricks painting the place were the only ones whom had access to my balcony (besides my wife) and it wasn't via my front door... it was via that fucking crane. (I'm on the 4th floor at least 50' up... you'd have to be Spiderman to get up here w/out that crane) The stick is all fresh and clean on the blade now... the tape was cut off w/some precision to snake the signature and note to me.
MOTHER FUCKERS... It's going to be fun marching into the office tomorrow w/a goalie stick in-hand... fucking hell I'm on fire right now... ... fucking thieves... it's a WORTHLESS signature... Burke isn't exactly a superstar but it was a cool experience for me... so fucking lame.

Jesus, I think I have made a catastrophic mistake in updating to Sierra. Everything is sooo damn slow now. Shit.
- what machine?Gnash
- http://i.imgur.com/u…HAYZ1LLLA
- you should be fine. is everything slow? could be that it's still re-indexing the drive for spotlight/siriGnash
- also, the new Photos app indexes and scan all photos for recognizable faces, etc. this can takes agesGnash
- open Activity Monitor from /Applications/Utilit... then go to the “CPU” tab and sort by “% CPU”, the items on top will be the cpu hogsGnash
- You know what. I've just restarted again and things seem to have improved. Still a bit sluggish but pheew!HAYZ1LLLA
