You all aren't hyped on the Android iPhone 7 Plus that is the OnePlus5 today?

- watching the presentation right nowdmay
- Weird voice audio in the presentation, like it was ADR'd. Boring phone though, nothing overly amazing.face_melter
- it's a lot cheaper than its competition, but reviews say the camera doesn't produce great shots, despite the hardwaremonospaced

Came across a job application on a website for a corporate gig that asks for 3 references. Do places really call references when you provide a portfolio too?
Can I put a friend and just give them a head's up?
Don't want to hand out former client numbers.
- Last week I found a job application asking “What are your references? Share with us 3 websites, 3 magazines, and 3 advertising campaigns, that you love”. Nuts.sr_rosa
- Note: for an UI Designer position.sr_rosa
- References for a job are completely idiotic. You gotta get some random fucking stranger's opinion on me? What does that achieve?section_014
- No one's gonna give you a shit reference. Plus, what about when you've been somewhere for 10 years without a bunch of freelance?section_014

torrenting still a thing? seems Netflix, iTunes etc have won the war??
- it is at my place, that's for surescarabin
- Yeah, it is becoming a bit harder, but PB and a few others still persist. I downloaded all the Resident Evil films only yesterday lol!face_melter
- Aren't they giving the Resident Evil films away free? ;)fadein11
- it's worse than Fast&Furious8....pango
- Totally. With a Plex server, it's more of a draw for me than ever before, actually. No converting movies to work with Apple TV. Just download, and watch, in 6chmonospaced

- I don't have that middle one, but yeah, exactly.monospaced
- I have you know the RE films are the pinnacle of cinematic excellence. All you fuckers could do well to take notes from a visual master like Anderson.face_melter
- still use torrents for random apps and plugginsMaaku
- I'm still torrenting shows that arent on Netflix at the same time as they play on tvBennn
- But yeah, torrenting is becoming a real pain lately. Lots of sites closed lots of sites are all bugged out with malwares en shitty popupsBennn
- Are the green skulls good or bad?HijoDMaite
- On PB? Green skulls are recognised/verified uploaders - folk like YIFY etc. But as always, buyer beware and run scans on *everything*.face_melter

- Sweet. B, I like the contrast with the wood grain. C feels a bit to polished.IRNlun6
- The problem I see with 1 and 2 is the jarring contrast between the warmth of the colour of the wood, and the coldness of the clours of the scratch plates.Continuity
- The pattern ideas are cool, but I would definitely use warm colours.Continuity
- B if i had to C if aged. TBH would go black or Spitfire tortoise shell with that bod. https://spitfiretort…kingsteven

- Rad guitar! Definitely #3. I want the focus to be on that sweet vintage woodgrain.nocomply
- Yea thread would be nice. I have one currently in the works, and another Japanese guitar coming infuturefood
- I agree nocomplyset
- So you shaped the body yourself?nocomply
- no, he bought a pine blank. Shitty wood.severian
- Severian knows little about guitar wood it seems. The only small down side is that it's softer than other woods. But it's old and dry and extremely resonant.set
- A friend has a huge stockpile of various woods - all the really good stuff is 100+ years old. Pitch Pine's my favourite.. although likely useless for <thisdetritus
- btw, I don't like any of the finishes here, they all seem a bit of a clash. xdetritus
- I think I like the clash of the battered wood against the new pearl personally.set
- Got a few in the way anyway so shall post some picsset
- looks like you're taking a fat dump on a 150 year old relic... i would try something classier than psychedelic squigglesscarabin_net
- C for sure. Go simple with something that old.kona
- Put a dark varnishBennn
- iiipango
- Get a gold anodized pickguard!lnu
- None....or se through...that wood is beautiful.see_thru
- Have to say the wood is so lovely my preference would not be a man made pattern that clashes with the natural wood detailsfadein11
- Btw, need any lasers details?detritus
- *Lasereddetritus
- I hear you fadein but Google 'barncaster' and almost every one is plain wood or a black scratchplate. Kinda want to do something a bit more uniqueset
- Tempting det!set
- keep it minimal with #3dbloc
- a piece of metaldbloc
- @set - fair enough yep. Perhaps a more geometric pattern that fully contrasts with the grain rather than being a little like wood grain. but yep I hear ya.fadein11

- Much nicer imosea_sea
- the shapes are dope.
a tiger swirl would be interesting against the wood grain too
http://i.imgur.com/0…futurefood - I'm a fan of the 1st one. the more natural wood the better.SteveJobs
- you said you didn't want black, what about a minimal clear plastic scratch guard?imbecile
- Sorry but I think clear scratchplates look super cheap and tacky. I'd rather just have none...set
- why have a scratch plate at all?hans_glib
- i thought you'd say that set, still had to askimbecile

See this guy in a subway stairwell every morning during my NYC commute.
At first thought 'why do i see this dude everyday at the same time hanging out on the stairs'. After a couple months of seeing him nearly everyday, i catch him following a girl up the stairs with his phone under her skirt.
He knows i caught him and still showed up to do it again. So i take his picture and he FREAKS out. I stood there laughing at him and he takes off.Now he's back again.

Long shot request...
I would like to know the approximate Pantone value of the plastic that the original Playstation was made from.
I have a Pantone swatch book, but no PSX to compare to.
I am hoping someone here might have access to both at the same time and be able to chime in.
Thanks

- ^ not this.
Its really hard. You need to photo it in a neutral condition. Make sure the camera -> image software is in the correct gamut/ gamma. Then get the ..mugwart - .. the swab card. Dont forget to calibrate your monitor!mugwart
- Forgot to say you'll need to convert the image colourspace into the correct space for pantones.mugwart
- good luck!mugwart
- if only, capn!

Met a realtor who I stood a little taller than; whose handshake crushed my fingers. Was so furious. Upon saying goodbye we shook hands again and I extending my index finger out while shaking his hand - worked like a harm, he looked defeated.

tumblr will change its policy :
"Starting July 5, 2017, blogs that primarily contain explicit content won’t be visible to minors, people who are using Tumblr in Safe Mode, and people who aren’t logged into Tumblr."
So if you watch or own tumble blogs that are classified as 'mature', that concerns you.
- I still have a tumblr out there somewhere lol. I really tried to curate it with cool content. I think it was from 2008-2011. Pretty sure it's how I found QBN.HijoDMaite
- you weren't here before 2008?pango
- Damnit. I really need children and minors visiting my porn feed. Losing this audience is soooo concerning to me!monospaced
- Is it up to the blog owner to flag content as 'explicit' or are they going go full-on facebook cuntpunt and be pinheaded internet police?face_melter
- If it is the latter, then, y'know, they need to be fucking destroyed.face_melter
- No man I only know about the old days from e-pill's posts.HijoDMaite
- You can classify your blog as "mature" in the options of the blog, you have to do it in fact, otherwise they can ban you i thinkBennn

Had a great laugh with a good sport this morning while walking out of Starbucks.
I see this guy in his mid 50s staring into the trunk (front of the car) of a Porsche 911. I yell out "Hey man, the engine is in the back!"
So stupid I know but I'm a Dad, it was a Dad joke, it was really early...
And he looks up and we both just bust out laughing. No idea why, it was so stupid. That good sport has had me giggling about it all day since. lol.

This week my mom organized dead serious conference call with all my siblings regarding wheel chair options for the family yorkie.
- Yorkie care is serious business.BabySnakes
- ours was a rescue from a puppy mill. His hips are basically jello. He should have more to life than just laying on the bed, couch or floor.shellie
- has she considered Helium Balloons?detritus
- Just end its miseryrobthelad
- Nah he just needs some equipment so he can live a fuller life. I guess this is a common problem with that breed especially if they come from a mill.shellie
