Coworker thanks me for helping out on a project. It was a slow day and that's what I'm paid for, right?

Leather jacket or tripod?...
...
:/- Tripod. Creativity is more rewardingSunSunSun_
- Leather jacket. Living alone isn't rewardingsted
- http://i0.kym-cdn.co…imbecile
- I wish. I need to watch my spending before summer.pango
- They're my 2 nicknames.BusterBoy
- Neither. Get creative with your need for a tripod and wear old stuff and save. I still wear my 15+ yrs old shoes, jackets etc.helloeatbreathedrive
- My leather jacket is cracked beyomg repair need a new one :(pango
- Leather Tripod. Problem solved.stoplying
- I gave my old tripod away on a whim. Should have thought that though...
Shit... I think I give thing away on a whim pretty often...pango - lol, it's the whiskey. Get the jacket and look for a second hand tripod to hold you over until you can get what you really want.sea_sea
- Do you ride a motorcycle? Then (and onlly then) you need the leather jackket.chukkaphob
- Not the motorcycle jacket. They are too bulky. I don't like those.pango

- I bought a suit jacket instead.. thought maybe it's time to look like a big boy now.
My last one was from 2004...pango - Cheap drugs are too dangerous. Quality drugs are too expensive.pango

Every car has Uber stickers on it. All these people are willing to drive strangers around for like $15/hr?
- omahadesigns-1
Is $30/hr a good or bad rate?
- Free lance Design? To low.
HJ? Could be lower.pango - does a bear shit in a toilet in the woods?GuyFawkes
- In small market good in bigger market not so muchrobotron3k
- If you live in one of those red states...then $30/hr would be considered off the charts... bookoo dollaz rich!utopian
- It’s pretty low. At full time that’s barely $60k per year. Plus you have to cover your operating expenses. That’s the way I look at it.monospaced
- if you have a higher rate you can bill less hours if the jobs a goodun / have some wiggle. 30 might be okay if it's p/h 9-5 on a year contract otherwise, low.kingsteven
- Free lance Design? To low.

I've got a favour-for-a-friend project open in the background, which I dip into every hour or so, amongst my other stuff.
It's just a food menu which he needs tarting up.
But it's a food menu, filled with food, and i'm hungry and I do not have any of the food I'm reading about to hand and fucking hell I I'm hungry and I want all of the food I keep seeing writ in words.

I'm trying to remember a viral video from a few years ago. Two sisters are singing a girly song in the back of a car and a little brother joins in. The dad tells him he can't sing the song cuz he's a boy and he crys. Anyone?

Anyone here DIY install of a window into a wall that had no existing window? It doesn't seem that difficult, I just feel like i will be getting into a mess of unknowns once start cutting.
Just call a pro?
- Saw someone install a window on a Sprinter and while it looked easy, i feel like you better have a good grasp of what you're getting intocapn_ron
- have fun!
https://www.youtube.…imbecile - oh shit, i thought you meant a vehicle. whoops. A wall should be easier. Just gotta get it straight.capn_ron
- depends on the structure - what's on the outside? brick, siding, wood..Gnash
- it isn't complicated but it can be pretty finickyGnash
- you'll like be cutting through support studs so you'll need to understand how to compensated for their lossGnash
- ya it is a wood wall on the outside, pretty much exactly the way that video imbecile posted.BabySnakes
- cut hole
frame it
patch/rock where needed
install window
profitGuyFawkes - it's not a big deal if you have the tools and patienceGnash
- just quadruple the amount of time you think it will take you.Gnash
- and hope there is no electrical you'll have to rerouteGnash
- Exactly, you need to know what you're cutting through and yes you might encounter wires. Maybe call a pro for an opinion first.sea_sea
- Depends on how old your place is you might find stuff the original builder left behind as well, lol. I found a can of beer and a bottle of pop. XDsea_sea

my boss wants me to create tier pricing in shopify by writing custom code for it (shopify plus).. as you all know shopify is ruby on rails.. The average salary for a Ruby On Rails Developer is $116,325 per year in the United States.
i havent got a raise in 1 year and ive built 5 sites for this place myself..
i think its time to look for a new job

pistachios .. so fucking good

Serious question.
How fkn hard is it to check the nsfw box before broadcasting?
Because now I'm seeing shitty photoshop dick on the cover and I didn't ask for it.
>: /- +pockets
- Don't hate dick, please.docpoz
- only thing i'm hating on is the lack of nsfw box checking abilities.sea_sea
- either way, thanks mods for handling it.
carry on.sea_sea - Yesterday I posted in the NSFW and QBNX threads wrongly assuming they were both marked NSFW. I'm sorry I offended you.soundofreason
- I have no use for the nsfw box because I don't post nsfw material outside those threads dedicated to it.soundofreason
- Art and genitalia go back a long way. We must keep qbn edgy and not neuter it, me thinks. That penis was awesome.docpoz
- Some see a shitty photoshop dick, some see a Futurist penis ("A nude never descends the stairs—a nude reclines").
To each their own.soundofreason - no, just check the fucking box dickhead.kingsteven
- What part of "I was wrong to assume I didn't need to check the box" & "I'm sorry" didn't you understand?soundofreason
- There is no need for name calling and foul language.soundofreason
- "we need to keep qbn edgy and not neuter it"kingsteven
- "I'm sorry I offended you" and defending why you posted it is totally fucking irrelevant mate. just apologise, move on. tick the box next time.kingsteven
- Ok, let's do this.
First part:
I wasn't defending why I posted it, I was explaining to sea_sea why I didn't check the nsfw box and apologized.soundofreason - Second part:
I was responding to docpoz about his comment "That penis was awesome" and comparing it to sea_sea's "shitty photoshop dick".soundofreason - I'm aware that any representation of genitalia is not welcome on the QBN front page. I even made a design related post in the NSFW thread because of this.soundofreason
- Now show me on the doll where you think I was defending my post?
I just wanted to let sea_sea and the rest of you know that it wasn't my intention to offend yousoundofreason - right, you realise NSFW stands for 'Not Safe For Work'. sea sea is simply stating that it was a shitty photoshopped dick that is NSFW...kingsteven
- OK, we're almost there.
I thought that the QBNX thread was marked nsfw, just like COTD and the NSFW thread.
...soundofreason - Meaning that all posts inside those threads are automatically marked nsfw.
That is the reason why I didn't think it was necessary to check the box.soundofreason - you didn't tick the box and inventing 'offence' in order to defer blame.kingsteven
- ^ that is what I was trying to say with
"Yesterday I posted in the NSFW and QBNX threads wrongly assuming they were both marked NSFW."soundofreason - Yes, I did NOT tick the box. Because I wrongly thought that the box did not need to be ticked.
I'm here for you kingsteven.soundofreason - Who did I defer the blame to? I thought apologizing was accepting blame.soundofreason
- Explaining why I did something wrong unintentionally is not denying it. I think it's better to let somebody know you didn't mean harm than a simple excuse.soundofreason
- you are sorry for 'offence' or 'nsfw threads' when no one is offended. you made a mistake by your own assumptions, you are totally in the wrong. tick the box.kingsteven
- This is why I'm taking the time to explain my message to you.soundofreason
- OK, I see that it's the offence you have a problem with. We'll get back to the box ticking later.
In your own words what was the harm? I'm not being sarcastic.soundofreason - What would you replace offence with? I acknowledge I did something wrong. Maybe it wasn't offensive. Would disrespect suit you?soundofreason
- any implication of harm is in your head and your inability to see this as more than a technical matter of ticking this box makes you look like a dickhead.kingsteven
- While we're at it. I am not sorry for 'nsfw threads', I did not create those threads. I don't see anything there's to be sorry about there.soundofreason
- is that clear enough?kingsteven
- * "inability to see this as just a technical matter"kingsteven
- It's clearly not clear enough. We'll skip the offence, harm, inconvenience,etc then.
Let's go back to the ticking the box.soundofreason - 1. When I made the post I did NOT tick the box.
2. The post made it to the front page.
3. sea_sea made a comment about it being on the front page.soundofreason - arrrrgh, you are insane mate. no one cares! i think i liked the pic in the thread... but don't want it on my feed as i look at qbn in work! tick the box.kingsteven
- 4. I explained to sea_sea why I had not ticked the box (because I thought the whole thread was marked nsfw).
5. I offered an apology for offending her.soundofreason - Now I realize that you dislike that I read her reaction to my post as her being offended.
I take it back for your own peace of mind.soundofreason - I am sorry if "peace of mind" is not adequate for you.
Ultimately, I am sorry my post made it to the front page.soundofreason - That is what I should have said in my first comment and all of this could have been avoided. I am genuinely glad we had this conversation.soundofreason
- btw i'm still implying that either your an idiot or a dickhead for deploying such defensive semantics given the context. just tick the box.kingsteven
- I'm only seeing your comment between my points 1-3 & 4-5 now.
I don't know how to explain to you why I didn't tick the box.soundofreason - Maybe you don't this but some threads are marked nsfw, meaning that ticking the box for posts inside those threads is not necessary.soundofreason
- I WRONGLY thought I had posted in one of those threads. That's why I didn't tick the box. But I agree that those boxes should be used.soundofreason
- i am totally aware of all of this. look, you assumed offence and apologised defensively as if someone had been offended. i read sea's post,kingsteven
- didn't see the 'offence' and read your comments for dickery as a result. this has only ever been about ticking the NSFW box.kingsteven
- I truly didn't mean to be a dick by saying "I'm sorry I offended you". I can now see how you read that in a dickish way.soundofreason
- grand so. btw if this was about someone being offended i would be on your side.kingsteven
- Wow. Okay well that went well. lol to be clear, that qbnx thread should be automatically flagged for nsfw. I believe it was handled by mods last night.sea_sea
- I def agree with sea sea, shitty Photoshop work should not be highlighted on the front page of a design focused site.robotron3k
- That being said, love your dick everyone, those who have one or access to one.robotron3k
- Cool or shitty image, is irrelevant. I understand it was an honest mistake now so it's water under the bridge really and if I came across as upset, well I was.sea_sea
- lol @robosea_sea

I love my gf but I'm pretty sure we are not going to be getting married and I may have to eventually transition this thing to a friendship. It makes me cry just thinking about it because I really care about her and I want her to be happy and I don't want to hurt or see her hurt or suffering or none of that...
- She is the sweetest, coolest girl I've ever dated.docpoz
- why would marriage determine anything if you're happy now. there's zero guarantee to any relationship anyway.sea_sea
- I just moved to the city and she wants out plus she wants kids and I may not want anymore. At least not now.docpoz
- We don't want to waste each others time.docpoz
- Sounds like love has lost here. Unless it's self love, then that one's won.robthelad
- Reminds me of that video going around awhile back of the couple who made a video to explain to all their friends why they are breaking up. It happens.robotron3k
- What's the issue here, one of you wants to get married and the other one doesnt?drgs
- be honest at all times, speak your feelings. I'm sure if you both care and can make it work, you both will. Loves incredible when it works together.mugwart
- Yeah, her needs and mine may not be matching up in the long term.docpoz
- long time hasnt happened yet! are there any steps that you both can take? Kids are great when they are your own.mugwart

Today I got yelled at by my neighbor for putting my recyclables into the wrong trash bin. I though a green lid meant it was for recyclables but since the building had run out of regular bins they had put a sign on top of the green one that I did not see. I wrongly assumed all green lids meant it was OK for me to put my stuff there. I spent 30 minutes apologizing to my neighbor and explaining to him why I had put my stuff in the wrong place.
- your neighbours sounds either very stupid or a pedant.hans_glib
- 30 minutes apologising? what did you put in there, your wankmag collection?fadein11
- I get it.robthelad
- How many times per minute did you bow your head?Maaku
- Blue is recycle usually. Green is for compostables, where I’m from.monospaced
- LOL monospaced, you sound like my neighbor. The color doesn't matter, I made an honest mistake by not paying attention to the note.soundofreason
- @Maaku. I lost count, I would say over 40. I think he's senile and I have small children so I'm used to having conversations going in loops.soundofreason
- Did he call the police?ETM
- Oh dude. I’m not lecturing you! I’m just remarking on the fact that there are even more colors where I’m from. Haha. I wouldn’t mess with anyone about this.monospaced

I know, it's all good in the hood.

Fortnite...I get it. Multiplayer shoot-em-ups, I get it.
Watching someone else play Fortnite...like on YouTube. I just don't understand. The whole e-Sports isn't a passing fad but isn't more fun to play the game than watch someone else playing?
Is this yet another example of us being old?
- sadly yes. I'm there too.helloeatbreathedrive
- I guess it is, see it has a sporting even like football or basketball. But don't fully get it either.dmay
- It’s not a passing fad. It’s a huge industry and it’s been healthy for many years. It’s only growing.monospaced
- I actually like watching people play games on YouTube. It gives me a chance to learn about it with no purchase. Plus some players are great personalities!monospaced
- Especially games I know I’ll never play, games that are too complex or too involved. :)monospaced
- I suck at games, so for ME it’s more fun to watch sometimes than play. Hahaha. Maybe I’m not alone.monospaced
- Coming from Quake3, UT, DOOM and the early CoDs, I don't know why Fortnite is so big. I hate the cartoonish style.Maaku
- I guess that makes sense. I never thought about it like that.misterhow
- You don't need (a lot) skill to be good to be at Fortnite, luck plays a bigger part and the constant DLC of cosmetic stuff provides the hook to keep playing ...Bluejam
- ... fucking hate that game, ruining my sons gaming education, they're missing out on other better games :-/Bluejam
- Kids like watching gameplay. It's similar to peeking into arcades and watching people play in the 80sdocpoz
- It’s similar to going to your friends house and watching them play waiting your turn. A friend who is really good and entertaining and funny.monospaced
- ^ exactly. this has been a major part of gaming since the start. i also love the openness of donating to streams, a lot of folks on twitch make a living.kingsteven
- I used to watch replays of CAL-O and CAL-P Counter-Strike matches on YT to try and raise my own game, back in the day. So it's not really anything new.Continuity
