Macbook Pro: 13 or 15 inch? Why is the 15 inch so much more?
- AppleOBBTKN
- No. Because the 15" has a dedicated gpu and the 13" does not. 15" has i7 cpus and the 13" has i5. Price diff is $400.monospaced
- Plus double the memory and more ports.monospaced
- what mono said... def go w/the 15 if you're going to be doing anything taxing.... you know... 'normal' creative work :)PonyBoy
- The 13" should not be labeled Pro in the first place. It's not much better than the MacBook.monospaced
- Remember that i5's and i7's in laptop land are both dual core. Not quad and 8 core.section_014
- No. The 15" MacBook Pros have quad-core i7's, the 13" have dual-core.monospaced

Sitting on the train today a woman had their foot right on my seat touching my jacket. I just looked over into her optic stems and she took it down saying "ooh, I'm sorry!"
I was so heated.
I took my headphones off and asked, "Where are you guys from", getting ready to berate them,they smiled fukn wide as the day is long and said "We're from Argentina!" We chatted for a couple stops, the guy she was sitting next to seem to be beaming.
Got off at the next stop and told them to have fun in NY. Head went from rage to feeling connected to other human beings.

After my night gig shooting at a festival. I went to buy cig and met the cutest girl outside. Sing and dancing, totally made me go awwwwwww. Then we starting chatting about death and rebirth. To kill a part of you and come out as a better person. The kind of subject you pretend to have a lot of thought of, to make your self seem spiritual and stuff. Everything was going so well then her boy friend walked out of the convenient store. *AWWW FUCK YOU!!!* i screamed in my head... NIGHT RUINED!

Thunderbolt is annoying. The adapters are tight and I don't want to buy more adapters just to use an SD card.

Last night I hooked up with the hottest girl at the wedding. It wasn't smooth, but I made it happen. Because she seemed way outta my league I was insecure before/during/after. I just kept thinking negative thoughts like "she can do better than me" and "she's going to regret this tomorrow" etc. I know I'm really working at improving this!
It was awkward in the morning and I ended up texting her later. Basically along the lines of "maybe it went too far, maybe it got a little weird, but I had fun, sucks you live far but I would like to work around that if you're interested". I was expecting her to not even respond. She responded positively to my surprise and there has been some back and forth and she actually does seem interested.
I'm feeling pretty good at this point, until one of my buddies friends texts him asking for her number. He was hitting it off with her and in my eyes seemed like she was way more interested in him. But he got too drunk and also had to carpool with others home. Now I just feel like he lives closer to her, looked good in a suit, told good stories- and once he hits her up it's all over for me. :/
thank you qbn for listening to my stupid little love life stories.

Does anyone have ADHD or live with someone here that does have it?
I'm struggling with my GF as she cant understand me having it. I think so much it often can come out hypocritical or not listening to her.
I know its not easy for her but she is extremely logical but to her its the old "why cant you just listen to me". I do listen to her but I've also had like 5 other conversations plus contemplated the meaning of life at the same time!
- do you take medication? I've never been diagnosed but I took adderall recently and absolutely murdered a gig. I missed this in HS and College.shellie
- are you showing her you're listening despite your multitasking? try repeating details back to her with your answer.shellie
- I do repeat back but my ADHD affects my short term memory sometimesmugwart
- Not on meds... dont want to sound old fashioned but I like to try and deal with things myself. sounds strange but try find a cure within myselfmugwart
- I do try and listen and I do actively care about her. I'm head over heals in love with hermugwart
- If you have memory issues, ADHD or not, write shit down.i_monk
- ^ i do - but I forget some times!mugwart
- idk then. but sometimes you have to make choices not to have your phone in your hand, or other things for the 10 minutes she might be speaking with you.shellie
- i do things like, no phones, tv or music with lyrics at dinnertime (prep and eating) and we do that together as a couple.shellie
- my bf is very busy naturally. making beats, he'll tap on stuff or hum. there's always a song in his head. so i get an hour where he tries not to indulge evenshellie
- though his natural state is swimming w/info. i set the stage 4 one solid opportunity to say what i need to say without competing w/anything. that satisfies me.shellie
- get her to watch this guy:
https://www.youtube.…Gnash - if no meds, you gotta practice being present for her but it doesnt have to last an eternity. Just an hour and a half. You can do that.shellie
- Barkley is amazing. You'll get a lot of insight in this devastating conditionGnash
- I do listen and I do try. I also am very busy. I have my kid weekends, her weekdays and I'm building a project as I think my industry is failing.mugwart
- I do all the cooking as she is out most the times (part the fights!)mugwart
- listening to that video in the background. interesting indeed.shellie
- problem is its the convos where I don't get to prepare myself for. She is extremely mathematical and extremely logical so its opposite nature for her.mugwart
- Thanks Gnash!mugwart
- might i note, that there's also an art to loving an artist in general. and a lot of artists have the same problems. It can be difficult but also rewarding.shellie
- ^^ thanks Shellie ;-) can I give you her email address please ;-)mugwart
- I often see partners of artists like that fit themselves in spaces the artist lack like organization & structure, which is something I bring to my relationshipshellie
- But for many partners, they also put aside many personal needs, sometimes for a lifetime. That can be very hard for some. But, it likely won't change either.shellie
- so it comes down to compatibility and what kind of partner she wants to be to someone thats highly creative w/possible special needs, unmedicated. That's work.shellie
- the flipside... what relationship isn't work? At least she can know what shes really working with.shellie
- I remember you mentioning she's pretty young though. That's something that could make a difference in this instance for the overall happiness of you both.shellie
- she is pretty young but very mature so we match (well she surpasses me!).mugwart
- i do my best and when things are good its heaven on earth, when not its hell fire.mugwart
- As you rightly put - what relationship isnt worth the work. Thanks for the input.mugwart
- Maturity shows itself in certain ways though. She might dont be emotionally immature but lacking the experience to know your problems aren't that uniqueshellie
- or how to deal with them. and that she will likely face similar problems again. My dad was mildly autistic. That changed our relationship, but it was still loveshellie
- it took LOTS of understanding not to fight with him, which I couldn't help when I was a teen he was so frustrating. When i got older, I suddenly understood.shellie
- *she might not.shellie

https://www.buzzfeed…Gnash - my wife takes Adderall to help her outplash
- adderall helps me to a degree but at the end of the day, do you want an interesting, restless, witty artist or a buttoned down straight laced boring accountant?_niko

- I agree with everything in that vid by gnash except the driving, i've had a spotless record because i'm able to anticipate and think 5 moves ahead. when i'm on_niko

https://www.youtube.…Gnash - interesting vid, the emotional numbing aspects of stimulants is my biggest detractor. Strattera seems to combat that. might look into it._niko
- My husband has ADHD, and it was really hard for me to deal with when we first started dating. Sometimes it's still incredibly frustrating. Ask her to read...Melanie
- "Scattered Minds" or similar book on living with someone with ADHD. It helped me understand that he wasn't an asshole, and helped us figure out together how...Melanie
- to deal with issues. Also, you might want to check into getting an ADHD life coach. That helped loads too. We're going 12 years strong now...Melanie

My boys go to this Nursery school and their website is just awful. I went in and spoke with the owner and asked if she'd be willing to exchange a few months tuition for a new site, promo video and photos. She seemed interested but says she'll think about it.
My wife tells me that they're not doing well financially and now I feel bad because I think a new site would help get them more students, but they probably can't afford a barter even.
I'm playing with Muse (never used before) to try to build a simple responsive site to show them what they could have. I feel like I should just build it to help them - they're really good people.
Any down sides to Muse that you guys know about?- i've had great results with Muse, especially with parallax scrolling motion effects, pixel perfect art. but I haven't tried it for anything truly responsivemonospaced
- I recently helped with a school auction site for a friend that she exchanged for some free tuition. It's a good change. Maybe try suggesting a site that willshellie
- help them make fundraising money along with get new students. that will help them get more stuff they need to make their nursery school great.shellie
- The passive financial gains from that kinda functionality will make more sense to them as far as a valuable exchange.shellie
- Nice shellie, thanks for that.stoplying
- i also suggest you show them a statement of work and budget for the website, show all your hard costs (plugins, any purchased code, images, etc). Show one columshellie
- with modest reduced rates so they can see that in line with what you would normally charge a client. Discuss and sign off on their barter deal points before youshellie
- start building anything. In situations like this they can sometimes completely disrespect the value of the service you're providing.shellie
- If their site is that terrible, maybe she thinks a new one would cost $300. Make a case on how much value she is getting.freedom
- You could take the barter the next year or when they get a few new clients.eryx
- I'd go with reduced rates. Money comes in and with hope of more prospects for them in the future.mugwart
- I'm not sure I care about the barter at this point. I just want to help them - for free even.stoplying
- Do you know why they are struggling? While their website may in part help, it may be a deeper rooted issue.notype

I hate linkedin. I recently downloaded the app to my phone. Thiis morning I find a happy birthday message from the guy who's been sending sexually harrassing messages on my phone, then on Facebook and has now shown up in my linked in inbox because I forgot to block him there. ugh fuck this guy. hed be better off falling all the way back. Im surprised he didn't consider never, ever talking to me again now that absolutely everyone is getting in trouble for this stuff. or maybe hes trying to make contact because he's scared and is trying to gage where my head is at now. ive been carefully trying not to out this guy while also getting this off my chest starting with my original post last march or april. hes really pushing his luck. normally when someone blocks someone on several social media platforms it means go away, and also not just go away but you don't need updates about my life in any form. what's his fucking problem?
- cant you block people on linkedin?Al_dizzle
- That's fucked up. I never understand the stalky types.garbage
- he thinks he's special. that's the problem with narcissists -- they have no self-awareness.Gnash
- the only thing that would pierce the armour is if it affects his world adversely -- like his wife or boss finding out.Gnash
- ^ even then, it would be your fault, not hisGnash
- Of course I can block him on linkedin. That's a pretty stupid observation. I just hadn't bc i never use it, so there he overstepped because he could.shellie
- rational responses to irrational behaviour won't change the way he acts, unfortunately. you're either destined to keep sealing the leaks, as you're doing, ...Gnash
- ... or make the risky move to directly affect his worldGnash
- I just don't want to open myself up to any legal backlash. I'm going to meet with a lawyer in December while in California.shellie
- sucks that the impact of doing the right thing has the potential to devastate your life instead of his. so sorry. don't know what to say.Gnash
- Just start calling him Weinstein, he should get the message...robotron3k
- Linkedin is for work only (how I see it).
State clearly he has crossed a line and its not approved. If he stays on that line - report him.mugwart - ^ she's done all the rational things, mug. the guy is predator who believes he's invincible.Gnash
- I have no doubt. But as long as there is a digital paper trail for linked in/ FB to follow then shellie should be able to report.mugwart
- For better or worse...
..,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY~~!!pango - shellie, i hope that lawyer can help you get rid of this asshole. wish you the best!oey
- Sorry to hear. I'm with Gnash, would block him and try to move on. Maybe the lawyer can send send a cease and desist that will hopefully get the message acrosssofas
- but not escalate the situation in that this guy would find the attention thrilling or feel to threatened and backlash.sofas
- He doesn't have a problem, he's too stupid to realize he has a problem.rabattski
- Make sure to keep screen shots, report him to all the sites. He's probably doing it to several people.formed
