The old bike of my gf has been stolen last night. Now i'm afraid for mine. Is it a good idea to put a sticker on my bike saying something like "This bike has a hidden GPS device - Think twice before stealing it" ??? Or its useless?
- I would start with a lock first.fourth
- I have one :PBennn
- leave it in the housepango
- thiefs most likely will take your computer instead of your bike if they break in.pango
- https://www.youtube.…utopian
- that's no way to talk about your girlfriendFax_Benson
- Probably useless. Best bet is a solid U-lock (Kryptonite) through the back wheel and frame. Keep it indoors if you can. Don't lock to trees or sucker poles.garbage
- Or you could always get this sticker (scroll to controversy section) https://en.m.wikiped…garbage
- just because you guys aren't together anymore no need to call her that.fadein11
- No need for a lock just leave a note saying please don't stealset
- should i leave some cookies?Bennn
- glue this somewhere unsuspecting on your bike: https://www.thetrack…lvl_13

I haven't been able to drag images from my browser onto my deskstop for some time. Chrome and Safari. Done countless OS updates since and still nothing. Google aint helping much. Anyone?
- sameGnash
- WTF right.HAYZ1LLLA
- I haven't needed to do this for at least 10 years. Why would you?fadein11
- What? I could list 100 reasons. Do you even design bro!HAYZ1LLLA
- just right click and save? or do you drag loads in one go? sorry - not something I ever do. would love to know how its usefulfadein11
- I've just done it from Chrome on mac to desktop - 1st attempt. is the issue on windows? oh nope you say safari.fadein11
- works perfectly fine here in macOSmonospaced
- I'm mac and have the same problem. a lot more work now putting together mood boards and look books. not sure when it started happening but it's annoyingGnash
- do you think it may be a gender or political correctness issue?fadein11
- not sure, you being trans are in a better position to say. are you offended by OS glitches?Gnash
- I cannot see a glitch and cannot understand why anyone would drag images out of a browser - 1000's of better options these days. Sorry if that came across a bitfadein11
- trans for you.fadein11
- you brought up genderGnash
- Just right-click and pick "Save image as" or "Save image to Downloads"monospaced
- and what could be easier than just dragging pics off a browser? why are you even arguing that. it's kinda weirdGnash
- I'm not arguing just asking why you would worry about doing it that way? as mono said save as, or use a chrome app for mood boards. seems a weird workflow to mefadein11
- Sorry if that was controversial - thought it was a discussion.fadein11
- But it works fine on both my macs anyway so looks like you may have some issues with your OS.fadein11
- hope you get it sorted.fadein11

So today I have to go through Shutterstock to come up with image options for a project. Dragging them onto my desktop is so quick.HAYZ1LLLA - @fadein11
So today I had to replace a jpg on an infographic page. Dragging onto my desktop would gave me the file straight away. Name/size etc.HAYZ1LLLA - @fadein11
So today I was looking for options for an embossed black envelope using google images. See one I like, drag. send all in email.HAYZ1LLLA - @fadein11
So yesterday I saw a really nice illustration on the web. I have a drop box of inspiration/scrapboo... Drag.HAYZ1LLLA - I have the EXACT setup Mac/OS/Browser as the guy on the desk in front of me. He can still drag onto desktop.HAYZ1LLLA
- wow - apple is working against you - you do know shutterstock etc have lightbox options? I always found it much quicker esp as you can then easily order thefadein11
- image later without having to dig out the comp filename etc.fadein11
- dude, sometimes you just want to grab the image and have it on your computermonospaced
- yeah totally - use save then! jeez - its not rocket science.fadein11

How does one work with a Millenial? They seem to know everything and take anything you say offensively...
- Don't negotiate; let them own their failures for thinking they know everything and not asking for help/input.monospaced
- Thank you.robotron3k
- Maybe you have no actual personal adblock and are actually being offensive?face_melter
- No ... they actually think they know everything and are offended when you give constructive feedback and ask them to do basic work tasks.monospaced
- They think they can do everything on their own. I offer experienced input when they don't ask for any. Without fail, they always end up in a hole they dug.monospaced
- I was told to not waste too much energy attempting unsolicited management of their shit, and to let them own their failures if it comes to that. It worked.monospaced
- The no negotiation part is about setting expectations, and sticking to them. Also, make them live up to their own promises. Be wary of becoming friends.monospaced
- They think everyone at work should be like a friend. It's weird.monospaced
- let them be. they think know everything and will then fail and flake out and learn on their ownsince1979

Why we don't give a fuck...
Each year that passes takes up collectively less time than the year before.
Example:
Born to 1 year old = 100% of our life.
1 to 2 = 50% of our collective life.So the year we turn 19 to 20 is only 5% of our life so far.
39 to 40 being 2.5% of our collective life.Just one month of that 40th year is .21% of our collective life. (1/12th of 2.5%) Essentially a blip.
With most of that blip being boring menial everyday tasks that we continually repeat, it's no wonder our capacity to give a fuck diminishes.
- Funny you wrote this cuz i just got back from vacation and EVERYTIME i come back from vacation, i kinda want to drop everything andBennn
- go back on a roadtrip. Eveytime i come back from vacation everything seems useless and boring at work. Everything is repetition and everyone reapeat the same shBennn
- shit all the time.Bennn
- And i wake up and its been 16 years i'm at that job doing basically the same thing. I like it tho, but... already 16 years! Years are passing by at high speed.Bennn

What is alkaline water and why do people drink it?
- It help recharge your iPhoneutopian
- 1. water that is less acidic.
2. because they are gullible.dorf - just squeeze some lime in your watermoldero
- or add baking sodaimbecile
- Throw some active charcoal in there and you're full blown gitfuturefood
- I know Ramen noodles need it. That is all.Mattjanz3n
- It blocks zeta particles from indirectly conspiring with the indigo molecules in your blood to prevent a condition known as 'Walken's Lament'.face_melter

- Twat's drink.
Because they're twats.MrT - lol imagine still being one of those inbred cunts who calls people twats for taking control of their own health.set
- Yep baking soda or lemon does the trick. It helps balance the ph level of your blood, which in this age of acidic based diet - is not a bad thing.set
- Coca cola is the true twat's drink, let's be honest.set
- @set there's a difference between making health choices based on actual studies vs pseudo science fads.dorf

- What exactly do you think the liver and kidneys are processing?set
- Yourmonospaced
- You'remonospaced
- diet has no effect on blood ph because it needs to be kept in a certain range. otherwise, you would get acidosis and die. that's what I meant.dorf

had a cracked tooth get a abscess above the teeth below my eye and under my cheek. swelling caused my eye to close and i couldnt smile...but no pain.. but also no insurance and havent seen a dentist in 13 years..
went in due to my face looking like i had the downs or a stroke... doc said if i waited any longer the infection could have got into my blood stream and killed me...
i got cut open above my jaw and drained... huge horse pills, and a teeth cleaning at a new dentist... i had no insurance so the bill came out to $480.. the dentist came in and said because i looked like im having a melt down and the fact i have no insurance he waved all bills...
i got meds for $10.. so i have a new lease on life..
moral of the story is fucking take care of your fucking teeth mother fuckers! never wait to the last minute to fix your shit!
i feel like a new man and my insurance kicks in about 1 month... im so going back to that dentist to take him out to lunch or some shit.
- You better bring a nice gift to the dentist. Send them gift basket or someshit.ArmandoEstrada

The same dude here continues to kill me.
I now believe him to be nothing more than a brilliant troll.
Yesterday I'm out sick and see this email chain come through where the guy (the same guy who asked F or C for temperature) said he thinks we need to incorporate Material Design into our App because "a large force was pushing towards material design at GoogleIO"... yeah... you don't fucking say?!
So then these yahoos start in on ways to incorporate Material design and ask "what apps are good material design?"
So I get in today and expertly craft an email - as to not sound like I'm going on the defensive - that we have in fact designed almost our entire app using Material components. I list out 15 material components, with a link to the component library and screenshot of where in our app it's used, and frankly, it's found its' way into the app a lot more than I thought it did... and this fucker goes radio silent.
No, "Oh, well done! I didn't realize..." or try to cover his ass by saying "I meant more material design in terms of transitions and animations" which, by the way, would rest entirely on he and his team... nothing.
This fucking guy. I swear he's trolling me now. He's hyper critical of our design and I just can't figure out why.
- don't you see? he's madly in love with you!_niko
- haha. dear lord i hope not.kona
- I was dealing with this a bit. Just make sure you cover your ass and eventually others will see his stupidity. Don't let it turn work into a stress or pain.capn_ron
- ha i deal with someone similar at my job. Probably not a troll, just a dude trying overly hard to keep his job.OP31
- These fucking guys who think they can just grab the wheel and yank the project in new directions whenever they want. Everyone attempted to plan.monospaced
- agree with OP31. also seen similar. overly eager + low self esteem equals similar people in these situations.renderedred
