my dog has such an interest, fascination obsession, hatred, disdain for skunks that I almost enjoy having to smell it for a day or two after she terrorizes another one. on the other hand, skunk shampoos do not work as advertised. #cognitive #dissonance #reduction
- Water memory.palimpsest
- Hydrogen peroxide, warm water, and a little dish soap works a treat. Use a sponge to apply. Careful around the eyes.monNom
- The oxygen in hydrogen peroxide binds to the sulfur (I think?) in the skunk spray that makes it so hard to remove. Makes it less ‘sticky’. soap does the restmonNom
- Disclaimer. I am not a vet, this is not medical advice. Use at your own risk. But it worked for a couple of dogs who really liked to get skunked, almost monthlymonNom
- this works well, an anise scent seems to neutralize it. https://www.amazon.c…imbecile
- i'd avoid hydrogen peroxide for it's ability to dissolve flesh, but i have found vinegar works for the tub cleanupimbecile

Why is linkedin so ugly?
- it's work stuff, where work people try to hook up but not at the water cooler.AQUTE
- LinkedIn is the worst.instrmntl
- I found out recently that it's not a work site anymore, apparently you can upload videos now... its a proper social media site like snapchat or youtube.cherub
- Problem is, it is butt ugly. Maybe I'll try night mode.cherub
- and it just keeps on doing it. Every redesign is shitballs ugly.milfhunter
- Because it belongs to Microsoft, and Microsoft can only do ugly clusterfucks.Continuity

- It’s ugly, stupid, phony, and just awful. But so is corporate America and I don’t see that ever changing, so suck it up and get that paper or go your own way!nb
- It's not like Snapchat or YouTube, it's like Facebook. If you're in HR, you might as well be on Facebook.CyBrainX
- However ugly it may be, I've gotten all my jobs and freelance from linkedin and Glassdoor for many years.CyBrainX
- It's the Blackberry of business sitesPonyBoy
- If you’re good at LinkedIn you can easily score yourself 10-30% higher salary per role. Better returns than the SP500...nb

On the verge of finally getting some funding for our startup! Big company here has said they are very interested to put some $$ in.
Very gratifying after so long...but also mildly terrifying having other people's money, and associated entanglements in the business!
- good luck! remember all the big guns take other peoples money to run businesses. like musks twitter take over, trump, etcephix
- Good luck!skinny_puppy

so this might be sacrilegious to ask, but what happened to design websites? like obviously there was a peak, but surely peoples appetites for this kind of content hasnt evaporated.
or is it just jaded old bastards who care about this kind of website anymore? like where do 24 year old design nerds go now?
Reddit? Discord?just feels like there was such a momentum at one point and now there is barely anything..
tried googling and most of the responses I found were from like 8 years ago asking the same thing.
I feel myself using literally the same 4-5 websites everyday, and then unable to break out of that rut.
- instagram and pintrest destroyed it all people gave up curating things it seemed like.PhanLo
- jaded old bastard here. stopped caring and just do my own thing.ephix
- yeah i do my own thing too.. but when im skiving off at work, i like to browse the garbage and instagram is a bit too obviousautoflavour

I know it's been said before, but these videos coming out of people in the street, train, cars and cafes wearing these new headsets really does make me very sad. Seeing peoples faces/eyes is such a massive phycological aspect of living in a society. It feels like a horrible progression.

I tried potato milk alternative. It's not great. It tastes okay, slightly acidic. Potato water background taste definitely there. Might work fine on cereal or cooking. NOT for drinking.
It's awful in coffee, which seems to be its intended use. It separates, makes your coffee look like a cup of brain matter. Blech.
The verdict: stick to oat milk, the unrivaled king of dairy alternatives (so far).
- "potato milk alternative"
https://giphy.com/gi…palimpsest - I don't know what you expected from something called "potato milk" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯OBBTKN
- WELL, ACTUALLY it's called "potato drink" or "potato-based dairy alternative"
*adjusts nerd glasses*jagara - Wood based dairy alternative is comingjagara
- Of course, this might have untapped potential in some vegan food concoctions.jagara
- I'm reassured because potato milk alternative would be an alternative to potato milk. And in that world potato milk would be norm.palimpsest
- po...ta...to... milk......
.......pango - Don't throw it away.
Ferment it and make vodka.
At least then it would be good for *something*.Continuity - THE GENIUS POTATO!hans_glib
- Mix it with potato flour, shape goop into French fries, deep fry it. Voila! Reconstructed French fries.thumb_screws
- Potato water cold-soaked instant potato powder. #loopthelooppalimpsest
- Oh god no. Oat or Almond if you can't have dairy, 100%. Potato milk is fucking disgusting.garbage
- @garbage tried it, or just assuming?jagara
- Have you tried Badger Milk (tm)nb
- Go on, pali.
You know you want to.Continuity - What if you just hold a fist full of dehydrated mash potato powder in your mouth and drink this hot potato milk?
#thepangomethodContinuity - Who the fuck named this? Yeah I want to think of dirt when I drink this barely drinkable milk and alternative_niko
- Just use Coffee Mate. I can’t imagine it’s any less healthy than this concoction.monNom
- I've not had this brand, but DIY potato milk that was enough to scare me off.garbage

- I hate the design more than anything. Cut off the cumshots and keep the letters clean. Potatoes don't spurt.garbage
- Almond milk is where it's at but everything, literally everything sucks in tea and coffee other than actual milk.kalkal
- I'm all for alternatives that taste the same or better, but there isn't one for milk yet.kalkal
- Been using it on cereal. In that case, it works fine. Coffee, no. Interesting to try, won't buy again.jagara

Looking for a design book for an intern, something similar to 'How to Be a Graphic Designer without Losing Your Soul', but she's French so ideally something without lengthy text? Any ideas?

Anybody actually use Adobe Express? I've had a dreaded email from a client. It seems to be very basic and limiting for a non-designer client. We produce web ads, video, press ads and social graphics for them. I'm struggling to see how they can effectively use it and I'd also have to learn it.
"We are seeking a way to streamline our review processes and a system that will allow us to create some of our own graphics in-house. Adobe has a platform called Adobe Express. I recently watched a webinar hosted by Adobe that explains how agencies and clients are using these tools to streamline projects."
- I've used it, my mom asks me to help with invitations from time to time. But I prefer canva.com. It shouldn't take too much time to learn (for the client).palimpsest
- ^ Sure it looks great for mums party invite but do you think it's feasible for a campaign with all those elements I mentioned. Like 14 different gif web ads?HAYZ1LLLA
- No, I wouldn't use it for anything serious, only for internal or really small urgent stuff.palimpsest
- But not because of the tool but because of the person behind it. It's a tool when you don't want to invest in ideas not as tool for the execution of ideas.palimpsest
- Understood. Thanks.HAYZ1LLLA

Anyone have a tutorial or guide on how to make gradient shapes like these? I'm referring to the subtle corners of the echoes section and the UI elements in this:

i love how we have a whole thread constantly ripping the shit out of Donald Trump, but the probability of him being president AGAIN is actually quite damning of where we're at right now. What the fuck is going on in the world as this morning I was driving to work and the live radio phone in was discussing whether we're likely to be conscripted to go to war. Whether we should all stand up and fight like our fathers and grandfathers. We should support our countries. We should show some backbone and fight for our fellow countrymen. For our freedom.
I was like, wtf is actually going on?
- They have been pushing us into a war for years, nothing new...OBBTKN
- I think the problem is thinking that the arguments that Trump is a clown and a nazi are serious political arguments.palimpsest
- There are more and more rumours that a major war will start within a month.pablo28
- The "long-awaited" WW3, perhaps?pablo28
- We wanted more expert opinions in the media so the expert on UK army, the UK's army chief says more army. The expert on Trump, Donald Trump says more Trump.kingsteven

- *phone-in. Twitter with sound.Fax_Benson
- ye tell me, what the fuck is going on in the states?milfhunter
- People are selfish, short-sighted, willfully ignorant, and quite frankly... dumb. Add a dash of “don’t tread on me” then anything “liberal” becomes weak.imbecile
- Trump had no interest in starting wars like all the other presidents because he's not tied to the war machine that profits billions off warnewcunt
- And you dumb fucking brainwashed cunts hate him simply because the TV told you to. Wtf is going on indeed...newcunt
- habits are hard to break...depattern is an artform not easy achieve. on micro and macro levels of society..neverscared
- If they give Donnie boy and his brood a cut of the war machine profits, he’ll be in a tank Dukakis style in a heartbeat_niko

- fuckin' centrists. pfft.Nairn
- I thought between G5 and The New World Order Cabal killed Set?utopian
- It’s so funny when a trump supporter calls someone else brainwashed. Fucking idiots.monospaced
- But calling them idiots doesn’t help any of us. These are some crazy times and by the looks of it the idiots are actually winningIanbolton

Not sure how this suddenly turned on or got activated, but I just discovered the "Allow your pointer and keyboard to move between any nearby Mac or iPad" feature.
In my home setup, I have 2 monitors. Left is connected to my Mac mini, right is connected to my work MBP, and I can go dual monitor on both. I always have two keyboards and two mice out on my desk.
Pretty nice how I can go down to one. Thank you, Tim Apple.
- its greatkingsteven
- a weird one i noticed recently if you put a tiny gap between monitors in displays it still lets you move between monitors if you move the mouse quicklykingsteven
- i have a small monitor below my main monitor, can still use the dock at the bottom of the big monitor or bash through to the monitor belowkingsteven
- idk how long thats been a feature but it works so wellkingsteven
- How would it know how far apart monitors are though? How is that even a factor in this?mg33
- yeah not really a factor, the monitors don't appear the correct size anyway
