All the ships in all the waters in all the world right now. I think this is my new favorite website.
- this is greatcolin_s
- Flight tracker sites are one thing, but this is cool in a sense that the majority of those ships are taking days / weeks to get somewhere.mg33
- It's cool seeing how many ships are queued up entering canals around the world.mg33

Would you hang out with Les Claypool and Sean Lennon given the chance? They would be performing following The Flaming Lips
- Nah. Les Claypool sure, but Sean Lennon? why? hahaKrassy

Enjoying QBN without Set PSB is like sushi served without ginger
- Bring it back FFS. I put a lot hours into that thread.Ramanisky2

- ^pango
- it's gone? what is happening??futurefood
- Wait. So Set was upset about the 5G downvotes and that's why he requested his PSB thread be taken down? Really??Krassy
- Set didn't want his face here anymore Photoshopped for the amusement of strangers. Understandable.freedom
- No way! He supported it all along and was always a good sport about it, until this goddamn stupid 5G "discussion"Krassy
- That proofs it! 5G is toxic!pango
- He was asked a few times how he felt about the PSB and he was fine with it. Asking for it to be taken down was cuntish. I wouldn't expect anything less. :)deadsperm
- so he threw a cunt tantrum then. oh wellKrassy
- the only person throwing a tantrum is you, it seems .... set did this all behind the scenesmonospaced
- not at all!! i'm chill af about it
:)Krassy - You called him a cunt, and a child, and accused him of throwing a tantrum in two posts in two threads, at least. So chill.monospaced
- OMG! dude! relax. "cunt" is his funny name on here. I called his behavior childish *IF* that's why he left. I like the guy and always have! Wish he'd stayed!Krassy
- calmer than you aremonospaced

I don't know WTF happened (was away for a few days), but I'm absolutely not cool with Set no longer being here.
Come back, mate.
- the cunts wonkingsteven
- he was just being set. a real eye opener to the lack of any sort of camaraderie on here...kingsteven
- Funny enough, I was at a job interview yesterday where I was asked which creative websites/forums I follow, and I mentioned QBN.Continuity
- I wonder if I didn't just doom my chances by saying that.Continuity
- The guy was a nasty lunatic.
Good riddance in my opinion.
Yea, I said it. Meant it too.Hayzilla
- jagara0
Did Set personally ask for a takedown of the SetPSB thread? And i seem to remember someone suggested that he felt bullied off QBN because of it?
Is that true? Just curious :)

Kinda feel responsible for set leaving.

Can people stop turning up after the event and blaming the rest of us for suddenly hounding him out.
I wouldn't want to speak for set but, seeing as he's not here;
I don't think the PSB thread had anything to do with him leaving, although I can see why he might want to take it with him. I'm not sure anything that happened specifically in the 5G thread did either - although something funny was going on with the votes, with set's comments hitting -20s in a matter of minutes, and fairly innocuous replies / questions similarly hitting +20s. I don't think there were enough of us in that thread to account for so many up/down votes, and I don't think it was an accurate assessment of the discussion. Somebody was fucking about.But I think he took that volume of voting as confirmation of a general, cumulative feeling that that too many of us are unwilling or unable to discuss or take on board certain ideas.
It's a shame if he has gone for good and a shame that people with something different to say generally end up leaving. But that's down to the attitudes a few, rather than the majority, in my opinion. And in no small part to the attitude of set, who could be pretty salty, lest we forget. The cunt.

You read this post and still don't get it?
Re: https://www.qbn.com/…deadsperm - so quick you all are to cy "conspiracy" instead of entertaining the possibility that a dozen people think something is stupid AFmonospaced
- Plot twist: set was right about everything.yuekit
- He may be, but we will allbe dead anywayfadein11
- Hi! I'm someone who rarely speaks but promptly downvoted all his shitposts on 5g. Bet there are another 14 like me.e-wo
- There you go, never forget the lurkersfadein11
- so, as it could be expected lurkers actually run this show :)renderedred
- exactly my point.monospaced
- he didnt give a fuck about votes. he just realized no value in this. took the adult steps and quitdeathboy

I for one for Set to return.. you are the win bro..
- Hayzilla2
Dunno if this is 'too soon' during the set mourning.
But, would really like to hear if any of you have experience setting up a cloud based solution for serving your iPhoto, iMovie apps?
I have 220Gb of photos and 160Gb of video that I'd like cleared off my laptop and just be able to view/edit them online through those apps as I have done for 20+ years.
- i looked into it a while back and found this:
https://discussions.…Gnash - Yea I've seen various reports of it being done but always with the caveat that files may get corrupted. iCloud it is then :-(Hayzilla
- i couldn't find an alternate 'safe' solution that was as easyGnash
- 5G could help now!CALLES
- raw photos or jpg's?mekk
- ^ iPhoto doesn't store photos that way. it creates a library file with them all togetherGnash

Set, come back! We don’t have to discuss 5G anymore.
The only 5Gs I want to talk about are the top 5 guitars on our wish list!
Come back!
- It seemed you guys liked to poke lots of fun at him and he always seemed a bit introspective.robotron3k
- lol robo, you for real? No bullying occurred here. He was generally always interesting as well. I've had my fair share of run ins with him but nearly alwaysfadein11
- about how he debated (i.e. calling anyone an idiot who disagreed with him) not the subjects he brought up. I share a lot of interests with him. Shame to see himfadein11
- go. The last situation did worry me a little, he didn't sound himself for sure. A little more out there. But as someone said elsewhere if you treat peoplefadein11
- like that then you have to expect to get it back. I have many times. But pls don't attempt to weaponise the situation robo.fadein11
- by that I mean I can't remember a single instance of people poking fun at him tbh, he was always in control of the situation, or seemed to be.fadein11
- Si, entiendo... it's just my observation brah...robotron3k
- Ok. just honestly can't recall him being a victim of what you said. He was quite formidable actually :)fadein11

Is set Jesus or why is everybody yearning for his return?

- everybody wants a midlife crisis internet friend :)renderedred

- if there's one thing set is/was, it's a prominent member.Nairn
- that too ;)renderedred

Looking for someone very good @ keeping social media up-to-date (e.g.—IG, FB, Tw)... not someone who just posts shit but is marketing and pop culture savvy / knows when and where to post depending on the content etc...

Q:
Do you have a friend who you’d ride or die for?
Would you drop everything to help them in a tricky situation/time of need? At the drop of a dime, no questions asked ... even if it meant having to pass up plans with a group or dinner with another which happens weekly or that you can arrange for another time?
- do they have a vegana?moldero
- yeah. for sure.capn_ron
- nah, dinner is dinnerFax_Benson
- I thought I had one. I keep learning my lesson about this person.notype
- I'm pretty sure I've dropped everything a few times for people and only a hand full have reciprocated. Tends to be disappointing and quite frankly exhausting :/sea_sea
- That said, I don't regret going out of my way because that's the kind of person I am. It's knowing when to stop that's important.sea_sea
- Yesfadein11
- what sea_sea saidrenderedred
- As long as it doesn't become a habit, sure why not.Maaku
- IMHO, if you're on the q00b, you're likely the ride or die friend.notype
- bent over backwards for a friend of 4 years, many times. no regrets at all (agree with you sea_sea)notype
- i humbly asked him for a little bit of his weekend time. he ditched me, and never called to ask how something really hard that i went through, went.notype
- see ya! this was all my bad though.
sorry i didn't trust my gut the first time around. too old for this shit.notype - To die for? Probably not. But to drop everything. Probably.
I've received help a few times from friends even tho I'm the type "I don't need anyone's help!!!"pango - But I've always pay back + a bit more. I'm like a Lannister but with no money.pango
- there was a hard decision i had to make whether to help a drug addicted friend or not.pango
- Hope they are oknotype
- I'd die for any of my friendsrobthelad
- Yeah a hard sell to "die" for anyone I know personally outside of my kid. I've dropped everything and been fired for helping a friend out of a bind once, thoughben_
- Ok, sad story: my best bud from high school decided to email me he was having brain surgery - with a wife and a kid on standby 1/2grafician
- We fought a few years back over google - I apple fanboy, he google nerd - he said some bad words about my mother, didn't spoke for 3-4-5 years 2/2grafician
- in January this year he emailed me that situation - I replied I forgive him, no worries - now it's May, no word from him 3/4grafician

If client gives work and says "think you can get us some options by Friday"....
Will it impress them if you send options on Thursday?
Or should you just work extra hard and send options Friday morning?
- Even if you get done by Wednesday afternoon, deliver by Friday.futurefood
- < ^ Send it by Friday end of day, unless you want them to use you every time they have a last minute request.Maaku
- ^^^^^^^ thisGnash
- ^ I can always turn down last minute requests?freedom
- I rather get last minute requests than no work?freedom
- one solid direction by friday evening. you're the expert.umbee54
- What Futurefood said. If you deliver it early then they'll expect you can do that quick a turnaround ALL THE TIME going forward...microkorg
- .. so will then think it's OK to dump stuff on you last minute and expect it done.microkorg
- Do you want clients like this? Rhetorical.notype
- Send on next Monday - say you're artist and demand 200% increase on budgetgrafician
- No, really, take the advice ^ and deliver late Friday, so they don't have time to email you changesgrafician
