UK is Fucked
I’ve been in London for a week and haven’t been stabbed, heard any Islamic call to prayers, have yet to be abducted by grooming gangs or yelled at in Arabic can anyone make some recommendations?
It’s all very white with a touch of multiculturalism, people are polite.
very disappointed.- Go to East Hamdee-dubs
- The best person to speak to would be NBQ. He’s well versed on grooming gangs, ethnic and religious matters and negative cultural issues - especially in the UK.Ianbolton

♥Things we do for Love♥
I was in the city (Manhattan) yesterday for a shoot and I surprised my boys (and wife) with their favorite Chicken Shwarma from Omar's. I think I got a hug from my 12 year old.
I told Omar I was bringing it home to Jersey and he was impressed.

The Guitar Thread
Epiphone Riviera Noel Gallagher semi-hollow body
My low E and A strings have a splat/pop sound - almost like funk slap. I'm not experienced with tweaking truss rods or other adjustments. Is there something I should be looking at - raising the bridge screws? Change the strings maybe? Any help is appreciated!- Sounds like it needs a set up for the type of strings you are using. Find a good tech in your area and have your guitar setup how you prefer it. I would avoid..futurefood
- I would avoid making truss adjustments or intonation bridge tweaks.futurefood
- either your action is too low or you need a refret.ok_not_ok
- Thanks both - I think the action is too low, but only on those strings. Is that a truss rod adjustment in your opinions?stoplying
- It can be a combination of things. Just use caution, because if you adjust one thing sometimes it affects something else.futurefood

Figma
Chuffed with all the updates but just looking at the generated markup from some of the Figma sites templates and it's far from semantic. Everything is a div.

- Semantic markup must be important for AI chatbots search suggestion right?mort_
- exactly.. why should u care how sth.
works... useless..neverscared - Semantic is important if the content's worthwhile and to be shared, redistributed direct from HTML or needs to be parsed by some sort of screen-reader.Nairn
- But sure, fuck blind and deaf people.Nairn
- this type of source code: takes more time to load, makes more traffic, and that costs money. lol the entire text is in aria label, this stuff generates junksted
- Ooooof div div div div div div divprophetone

- The templates are fairly sluggish alright.mort_
- It's weird because the have all the semantic elements for dev mode in Figma. Maybe just a beta thing and they'll improve it.mort_
- "Div soup" was common with Web 1.0 WYSIWYG editors — and extremely problematic with SEO, load time (esp. then), etc.; This won't be good.evilpeacock
- oof... ugly :/PonyBoy
- DESIGN TO HTML only works, worth using daily if html/css follows expected semantic structure/logic, frontend devs can’t output, unspagetti traffic accident htmlprophetone
- I have to assume this is beta output logic and they’re going to incorporate a step in render that beautifies the code, it’s the base requirement hereprophetone
- Or maybe they are more focused on the code never leaving their ecosystem as the cms will no doubt be a subscription, cannot be localizedprophetone
- Just found an "accessibility" panel in the right menu when you select an element in sites. It allows you to assign a tag to the element.mort_
- Pretty tedious way to go about it.mort_
- LOL go open a Facebook or Instagram page and check out the source code
< this is acceptable compared to spaghetti code from Metagrafician - Facebook and Instagram are walled gardens, not part of the open hyperlinked web so you're comparing apples and orangesmort_
- uhm Meta must have even MORE accesibile websites and apps than most...
But sure, visit google, cnn, any other major website and look at code for a huge messgrafician - Semantic web sounds like a good idea, but nobody codes websites in Notepad for decades...grafician

- If the point is to 'take over' the dev stage here, which it is, clean and semantic is only way to share efficiently across devs, teams, the planetprophetone

I keep seeing that fancy new chocolate from Dubai that is cropping up in garages and supermarkets now but at £12 a bar (!!!?!!) I'm too tight to buy and try it, have you?

me neither.hans_glib - I live 5min from the open market in JLM. I can get any Middle Eastern sweet variation. It is a bit expensive but not 12 pounds :)renderedred

Dating after a certain age
I'm slightly over 50, I've been separated for over 3 years, I just signed the divorce papers yesterday.
I've been serial dating since my wife moved out. I've dated all sorts of women... Short, Tall, Skinny, Curvy, Older, Younger, Anti-Vaxxers, Trumpers, Radical Feminists, Sound Healers, Buddists, Country Music listeners... I've really enjoyed meeting new and interesting people but never found any deep connection with any of them.
I met a woman 2 months ago and we have so much in common, so many life experiences in common. She's beautiful, smart, funny. She's about my age with 2 sons like me. Finalizing her long marriage soon like me. We've talked on the phone everyday, texted countless times during the day.
I haven't felt like this about anyone in decades.
We've spent 4 weekends together already and can't wait to spend more time with her.
The only catch is she lives 2 hours away and The Dave Mathews Band is her favorite artist. I've broken up with women for less, I think I can handle the distance and will have to tolerate her music taste.- Also she was a designer/AD but is getting another degree to become an art therapist. I never dated another designer, we're a peculiar group.fooler
- Go with her, TDMB is a decent band, you can't imagine what I've endured in 25 years of marriage ;)
Good luck, life is short!OBBTKN - you won’t always live 2hrs away. maybe someday you’ll find a band you both like. Those are little things. If your values align, you like her and she likes you.monNom
- That’s what really matters. You can flex on the other stuff.monNom
- this is nicested
- I've made her playlists and slowly introducing her to safe alt bands like The National, Spoon, Elliot Smith, Band of Horses...fooler
- and I've actually like some of her suggestions. I never thought I'd be listening to Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran but the things we do for love.fooler
- ahahahahsted
- Taylor Swift duuud how old is she? :)))sted
- 2 sons and 16 lolsted
- "she's about my age" yeah just reversed :F you are 51 she is 15 lolsted
- I'll have to check the legal age limit in our states.fooler
- ewww sound healerspango
- its funny because one of her sons is into bands like Cradle of Filth, Maggot Stompers Corpse Pile, Vomit Forth & Dying Fetus!!!!!!!!fooler

- Baffled at dating antivaxxers and trumpers but DMB is the deal-breaker. Yikes.cotton

- Great post - enjoy and good luck! PIITBstoplying
- 2 hours away ain't a big deal, but DMB might be the deal breaker, haha!! My wife is a DMB fan, btw (I am not), it was high on my shit list too, but all good.davey_g

- have you met DMB fans???? they're the worst!

♥Things we do for Love♥
I try and make as many opportunities to surprise or delight my wife and kids as often as possible.
When my son was feeling the grind at school and getting the ground hog day feeling, I randomly pulled him out of school on a Friday afternoon and took him go-karting. He still talks about it.
My daughter has been attending raves (doofs) and has shown an interest in DJing so I have ordered her a Pioneer FX4 DJ controller for her school laptop. (I also have put $100 a fortnight into each kids hidden bank account in case she needs to go Tomorrowland when she's 18).
I have made my wife a coffee every morning for the last 24 years. She doesn't like surprises but I manage sometimes.
There is nothing I could buy myself that would bring me more joy than I get from facilitating their passions.

Dating after a certain age
I loved reading your post Fooler. So much to relate to.
I'm 55.
My ex and I seperated very amicably, getting on for six years ago now.We're lucky. We just recognised it had reached the end and we made a change that worked for all of us, and we're good friends. Great friends even.
I've dated all sorts since, then I had a 3 year relationship that revived a brief thing from way back when I was 27.
That ended and I dated a few more women, exploring dating apps for the first time.
It became alarming to me how many really strange people there are on dating apps.
I have 3 really alarming (but also quite entertaining) anecdotes about 3 different people I went all the way to date#6 or so with.
And then just as I was about to delete the apps and write it off as a dud avenue with genuinely dangerous risks, I matched with a really amazing woman, and we've been a thing ever since.
But...
She loves Maroon5
Maroon fucking 5

Made this to celebrate my 20th year since leaving my last full-time agency job to pursue a dream.
