    Some idiot dipshits were lighting fireworks on a trail in the Columbia Gorge and now our national treasure is in engulfed in flames. Some of my favorite trails outside of Portland are no more.

    • about 15 years ago some trails in Yosemite I love were torched and I thought the same thing... they've since grown back in and it's gorgeous again...PonyBoy
    • ... this happens naturally all the time.

      I'm not saying said idiots who set off the fireworks shouldn't be set on fire themselves...

    • Not this major. Not in my lifetime. Not in the lifetime of the 200+ y/o old growth Doug firs and the WPA lodges built in 1900s. This is next level shit.wagshaft
    • It did give us this amazing photo, mind.detritus
    • alright...let's set the guys on fire whom did it. And you're right - not in your lifetime will you see it come back. But yes...this does happen via lightning...PonyBoy

    • having looked at this for about 2 minutes now, it appears to swap network ads with their own? I'm not sure I support that - I'd rather support sites I use oftendetritus
    • I mean, nixing ad networks is one thing, which I can get behind - but swapping out entirely for a third party's? That seems morally questionable.detritus
    • Am I right in thinking that it flipped engines from Gecko to Blink over its relatively short lifetime? If so, this is just about ad $, not quality of browsingdetritus

    How do you deal with a client that keeps making constant changes, and then when you give them shit about it they ask for a refund?

    • contract... lock changes down to a minimum amount of rounds then show them how dense they are for signing something they didn't read @ rnd 4PonyBoy
    • I need to get a contract for sure. What can they do as far as refund? This was a small project, and he's in another state.pinkfloyd
    • Sounds like a one-time project if they're going for the old refund.. yes? (not a repeat client) If this is this case and you feel you're getting f'ed...PonyBoy
    • ... I'd consider small claims court... but then again that depends on the value of the project / amount of money exchanged and again... contract :/PonyBoy
    • He's all the way in LA and i'm in NYCpinkfloyd
    • well... I'm guessing you're not up for giving up a refund as you've done a ton of work. Are you willing to try and reconcile... even take a hit? May be best...PonyBoy
    • ... to attempt to find a finishing point and just call it even. (meaning: give him another round or two but say 'that's it') and you still get paid.PonyBoy
    • Even referencing emails with rates and any sort of agreement can help you get paid for your legitimate time investment.monospaced

    Internet is so shit here in Australia. 12 hours to upload a 5gb file...

    Has taken me weeks just to get some video files uploaded to be edited over in Europe somewhere. Embarrassing.

    And the moronic govt took a nice big shit on what could have been a future proof fiber optic network. Costing them more money too. Yay.

    • actually, telling me now it's going to take 52 hours for this 5gb file.inteliboy

    15 minutes before I'm leaving for lunch, I decide to get a little project done, export some images... "This should take me to 2..." I think to myself.

    Four minutes later, I'm done.

    Los Angeles is totally growing on me. I went to a few of the restaurants Johnathan Gold reviewed and I was NOT disappointed. So good. I love seeing all the freaky people walking around downtown too-- makes me want to be weirder.

    Universal Studios sucked though. Who gives a fuck about Harry Potter? ...besides lots of people, I mean.

    • great food city. I just can't get over the fact that you have to drive everywhere. I mean uber is super-cheap...but still.lvl_13

    Next month i've got date with the doc to check, and fix, a problem on my left eye (i've got a intraocular lens on it) and i'll ask him about this treatment for eye floaters... they are really annoying me when looking at white screens or paper

    • I got those from looking at an eclipse back in 94. Went to eye doctor and said there is nothing you can do. They are like freckles. nothing u can dohotroddy
    • but let me know if I'm wronghotroddy
    • They are normal, just cells from your eye but if they increase noticeably then you should speak to someone - potentially a symptom of something else.face_melter
    • @hotroddy, get information on this subject: vitreolysis laser treatment... there is a private hospital doing this with nice resultsOBBTKN
    • We've got a good public healthcare here, probably they're doing the same "free"OBBTKN
    • I remember first seeing floaters in my eyes when I was about 7, staring into my baby brother's eyes in bright sunlight. Totally freaked out my mother when I ..detritus
    • .. went and told her "i can see wee things floating around in #brother's eyes". I think that was the point she stopped trusting me.detritus
    • Mine come and go - I had a spell a year or so back where I thought I was getting a worrisome amount of the fuckers. Now I can't recall the last time I saw one.detritus

    I mentioned a tiny wee job I'm doing for some old guy who prefers analogue USB and posting bits of paper with Times New Roman pritned on (and today offered to come and pick up his pieces "because his travel's free", despite the fact he lives 40-odd miles away...), anyway, I've just nearly spat out my tea as I read the subject line I recycled from an old email chain is "Captain's Rub Down", which totally passed me by when I replied to it late last night.

    .

    The original job was to replace some sort of vinyl-logo for a rowing boat at some club, hence the 'captain', hence the 'rub down'. I don't need this in my morning...

    Had a thought.

    Say a known felon has been arrested for doing kiddie bad things or what have you. Once arrested and his fingerprints are taken, could they use those fingerprints somehow to get into his iPhone for evidence etc? Probably illegal but I suppose i'm just curious to know if fingerprints could be used to access an iPhone.

    • Probably, yes.detritus
