I picked up a copy of Vice for the first time in at least 10 years. No more Dos & Dont's, no more photos of drunk/high partygoers, no snarky music reviews, no sarcasm, no risk.

those who know about camera positioning... is that position supposed to make him seem taller?
- 5' 4"utopian
- aye, they should have dropped it a bit lower. looks like a kid.inteliboy
- < what I was thinking.bklyndroobeki
- looks like the camera was at his eye level.pango
- I'd imagine they'd point the cam up at an angle so that he's on top?bklyndroobeki

I had no idea that oil change places like Jiffy Lube and Valvoline share customer vehicle data with insurance companies who will then revise customer policies based on usage. They also sell data to Carfax that will show up in a report on your vehicle history.

I'm nervous that someone is going to ask why I've spent so much time in the bathroom l and I will have to tell them that against my better judgement I ate some insanely hot food today and my belly and asshole feel like the surface of the sun.

Friday and i'm working on patching up a project, four images, the new buildings have somehow moved 2m from their original position whilst the rest of the model is fine, so all my masks are fucked.
I am going to 'shop some tits into the windows.

- I rebelled against the darker UI when they introduced it as default. Light for life!set
- Light is right
Light is rightset - I work a lot with light and tone - the dark UI pushes everything back so the image stands out better, for me at least.face_melter

Ordered an Oral-B SmartSeries Pro 6500 electric toothbrush set (62% discount a promo with two handles for 111€ final price) by Amzon but after checking the product wanted to return them cause I would prefer the Oral-B Genius instead.
After checking the return reason and clicked next I came to a screen with the info that the product couldn't be returned for the reason I chose (I tried several other reasons with the same result).
I contacted them as only one week had passed from my initial order and they have an up to 30 day return policy to ask why.
I received a reply stating that I could either keep the product or throw it away and that I was entitled to a total refund over the product.
The toothbrushes are new and serve perfectly the function they were bought for. I just had another preference at the end.
So I got me a pair of electric toothbrushes that are worth close to 200€ each for free.
Recently someone here else experienced a similar situation recently as I remember.
Anyone else?

A colleague just sent me the link below. I'm curious... how many of you watermark your work before sending to a client? I don't like the idea personally.
- Never have, prob never will. Doing shit like that would damage my client relationships built over many years.fadein11
- re: watermarksfadein11
- I do if it's a new enquiry and I'm not wholly confident they won't simply forward my efforts to a competitor and ask "how much dis shit?"detritus
- I've got a wee downsizing app that I drop photos or screengrabs into that sizes to something suiting both desktop and mobile, and adds my logo into a corner.detritus
- never ever. sounds like kanye west.
brand the presentation if you want to promote yourself or your company.uan - just send lo-res art - useless to any client thenfadein11
- Not for the sort of stuff I send out — I often send copyable 'solutions' in regard to a brief not artwork that could be re-sourced.detritus
- I always use this as a rule of thumb on stuff like this - did Peter Saville / Neville Brody watermark their work? Did they fuck.fadein11
- I don't. But I don't see it as a trust issue with the client, i think it's more a branding thing. I'm just too lazy to do it.Gnash
- gnash - watermarking is more about protecting your work than branding no? obvs if I do a presentation my logo is in the corner. Perhaps I need to read the linkfadein11
- Well the link suggests doing to save people stealing your work. Personally I think it's all utter fucking guff.set
- I'm know that most use it for protecting work -- as it's intended. but I see it as a branding opportunity. mock-ups get passed around a lotGnash
- and by watermark I mean some tiny thing in the corner, not a big-ass logo in middle of the imageGnash
- The only people who have stolen my work (twice in 20 years) were fellow designers not fucking clients. I have always been a bit fussy about who I work withfadein11
- though. A decent work contract protects you 100% without making your presented work look like a fucking stock library.fadein11
- trueGnash
- Totally agree fadein
You big stinky shithead.set - Well suffice to say I didn't agree with my colleague on this one, so naturally I called him a stupid small brain and suggested he fuck off home early.set

- It depends. In the industry I work for (pharma), we must, due to clients' policies.maquito
- I had a client that tried running ads using artwork they rejected. That was some fucking bullshit.monospaced
- Instead of watermarking, I deliver encrypted PDFs and disable any ability to edit the artwork.futurefood
- You're joking?
How do you achieve the latter?detritus - when exporting in Illustrator, you can turn off editingmonospaced
- ^+1futurefood
- You mean unchecking 'Preserve Illustrator Editing'? If so, that just makes things a bit awkward to edit — it by no means, at all, secures the file.detritus
- look around, there are other security features in the PDF export settings, including passwords for printing, etcmonospaced
- You can make a PDF read-only, essentially.monospaced
- If it's a pitch, I put a copyright disclaimer at the bottom (in case they steal the ideas) but never a watermark regardless of what it is.HAYZ1LLLA

After a fuck up which means I'm going to be here a half hour longer than the already long night I was expecting, I decided 'fuckit' and stormed off to the shop to buy some booze.
On the way I hocked over a small wall into a canal and moved on. Not nice, but there we are.
In the shop as I waited, the Turkish geezer I chat with every day looked over at me with concern and went to pull off a ream of blue toilet tissue he had to hand, which he then passed to me.
Perplexed, I followed his indication and wiped my cheek, assuming I had pen or char dust or something smeared across... no. Instead, a large glob of frothy spit, so large that he could see it as I waited, two back in the queue.
*sigh*
- lolset
- haha - i once chatted to a client for at least 5minutes with a bogey stuck to me cheekfadein11
- haha. As I half-read while thinking about something else, I assumed that the Turkish fella was the other side of the wall on a barge or something and wasFax_Benson
- waiting for you in his shop with your deposit still on his face.Fax_Benson
- Thankfully the canal down this end is a bit filthy, so no fowl aswimming. Unlike a few weeks back, when I hocked over a different bridge and nearly hit a swan.detritus

Anyone running short term health insurance because they're healthy and gaming on trump repealing the penalty? Hard to justify $300 plans that have high deductibles and cover like 60%. I haven't even seen a doctor since I had a physical like 20 years ago... Doesn't even look like i can take advantage of the tax breaks on HSAs unless i have an obamacare approved plan... so fucked up

I'm burning the midnight oil this weekend on a project that is due monday. I've been going hard on the MacBook and now when it's plugged into the thunderbolt display it crashes. My guess it's the GPU eating shit. The thing is from 2011 so I'm not surprised.
I REALLY hope I don't have to rush out tomorrow morning and buy a new one. Especially an overpriced touch bar shit that I don't want.
- ohhhhh shieeeeeet.... they had a repair program for 2011 MBP... GPU issue....pango
- does that mean they'll repair it?fourth
- Those 2010/11 MBP's are beasts. Did a project on mine. 3D, render for 7 hours, Ps at the same time. Got so hot it hurt to use the keyboard. Kept on trucking.face_melter
- https://www.apple.co… damn they stopped covering the repair at the end of 2016fourth
- Fuck x a million. It's dead. Noooooooifourth
- I had the same problem and they wouldn't fix it. even if i throw money at them. so i went fuck it and built my self a windows desktop.pango
- They fixed our entire teams set of 2011 Mbps for that reason. For free, 3 years ago. They weren't even showing issues.monospaced
- And they would do it for mine even if I want to throw money. Fuckers.pango

- red is bad, right?Gnash
- so data back to 1880... and the dark blue to darkest red represents what half a degree? I'd like to see the data being modeled. come on we as designersdeathboy
- know how easy it is to visually manipulate data into representing something far different than the truth to help push our ends.deathboy
- another thing i'd suggest ppl question is to see how the model shown would play out 70 years in the future to see if it might be "alarmist" at all. but maybedeathboy

https://goo.gl/LrbvD…dorf - i meant specific data used to create the video. especially concerned with datatypes pre 50s workin with more modern datasets in the same visualizationdeathboy

- ERSSTv4.. the more you dig the more error and bias. types of infilling, and limited data sets. Curious about actual sensors that making up 2°grid(9500sqmi).deathboy
- at the end of the day its a bunch of data that is mostly noise and is quite limited. It's like trying to analyze stock data and make predictionsdeathboy
- who knows maybe it will be popular theory in the future nuclear testing of the 60s was a direct cause of trends from 70s-2040s. it can only be in hindsightdeathboy
- global fart mapsted
- well, here's the ERSSTv4 paper, https://goo.gl/UaHYu…, please point out all the flaws.dorf
- i looked dorf. its complex data sets that have been finessed. its like a version of the bible. some people believe. some dont. i question the motive and sourcedeathboy
- hate to say it but your climate scientist "data modeler" is the new religion for those who think so highly of the human race and its abilitiesdeathboy
- the infilling, the very broad datasets that cant are based on other underlying datasets that are suppose to be taken for granted while the current sets changedeathboy
- the pure focus only on known data while ignoring all unknown data or treating other data as anomalies... knowing what it takes for real scientific data in contdeathboy
- rolled areas vs sensors in uncontrolled environments and hoping on averages... i dont think the climate people are any different than local weathermandeathboy
- tell me this dorf. how is it you believe the new model for 1880 temp vs previous? instead of disproving why not try to explain your belief in it?deathboy
- i think its far more telling when people blindly believe in things they don't understand, but take for granted others say its so. that is the kind of crap thatdeathboy
- drives religion. magic. the idea of magic and spoken words. that idea likely was developed by people who didn't know how to read.deathboy
- i dont know. to me its all driven by crony capitalism, know one knows shit. they all act like they do as a hustle. seo, analytics, big data, mc hammer pants gendeathboy
- All you're doing is presenting personal opinions which I don't care for. Unless you post where the data is flawed and why, don't bother continuing, it's uselessdorf
- the data is flawed because if methods of infilling that dont take so many things into context. your turndeathboy
- it might be personal but its personal like seeing a ball go in the air and understand its going to come down personal. its just common sensedeathboy
- small sample sizes. the way the sizes are measured. the fact its global avg. its all just data with out meaning. unless u liek to state a meaning and why?deathboy
- other than that i can contest their data and measurements but its all meaningless, except for a fancy info grahic that serves as disinformationdeathboy
- disninformation on the idea of the color exageration where the the avg mean temp is but a degreedeathboy
- good unbiased data would inform you of the scale you are seeing. of the details. this is purely motivateddeathboy
- dorf would u except the idea that all global climate change is motivated by money and interested parties to dupe the public as advertising in support?deathboy
- instead of believing data from alruistic angels who have no monetary interest related to their fields or reason for creating datadeathboy
- to me it seems like public mesmerized by a lady sawed in half. not knowing the trick. and i think that is the artdeathboy
- oh and u know erssatv4 is based on contested foundation already. do u know difference between science and data modelsdeathboy
- i dont care if i am proven wrong. but so many ppl have a hard time accepting what they believe is wrongdeathboy
- the non religious laugh at the religious while following whatever dogma theyre taught. its just a big joke to medeathboy
- and for shits and giggles dorf present your data as not personal opinion. i find its all personaldeathboy
