In memoriam
Today the best friend I have ever had in my life died.
Painter, sculptor and great lover of nature. I am BROKEN, totally unexpected.
A great artist and better person has left.
The world has suddenly turned gray.

There's something fishy about Facebook. 15 years ago, EVERYBODY was on it, using it daily. It was twitter, tik tok, whatsapp & instagram all in one. I go on it occasionally now every few months just to see my kids scouts group posts and it's a ghost town with only the same 4-5 people posting memes. Nobody I'm actually friends with has used it for years. But the numbers claimed keep going up and up in the UK with 50% of the population claimed as daily users. 50%!!! I call absolute BS.
- Sucker is probably merging Insta and WhatsApp user numbers, cuz it would be embarrassing to admit his OG baby fb is on its deathbed.NBQ00

- It's like going on your parents computer that has no ad-bloack and all the extensions on. Just a noise of absolute shitePhanLo
- In Latin America and other regions of the world a new phone will install facebook and even with free mobile plans only for facebook WhatsApp...Salarrue
- Imagine, for millions of people Facebook = the internet... I have 80 years old relatives that have never touched a computer but they are totally hooked with FBSalarrue
- i use it a few times a month.. mostly to keep up with old high school friends...exador1
- The fishy thing is that no matter what I do, every now and then opening it on my phone kills any audio from other apps, like Spotify...mg33
- FB got in trouble years ago for not honoring the user's selection to turn the mic off for FB. I'm convinced they still activate the mic no matter what the...mg33
- setting is, because it's the ONLY reason that audio from anything else would turn off.mg33
- They don’t need to activate the mic. There is no need to do that to track/recommend and to make millions by being shitty********
- This wasn't meant to be a general whinge about FB. I mean, why kick a dog when it's down. I'm just hyper sceptical of their user reporting from what I can see.HAYZ1LLLA

Help needed!
Long ago when I used to do a lot of headshot editing in PS, I'd use a technique to soften the edges of hair, shoulders, etc that involved deleting the background so that the portrait is isolated and above a white background.
Then, I'd select that space around the head (like, the inverse of the head itself), and I'd just hit delete a few times, with some setting that would feather the edges of the head so that all the edges softened up.
It's been like 15 years or more since I last did that and I can't remember how to do it. Anyone know what I'm talking about or how I'd do that? I like that method because it's more consistent than using the eraser. I'm basically softening all the edges around the hair, neck, shoulders.
Totally clueless about how I did that.
- Disregard. I figured it out. Totally different from how it used to be done. https://www.skillsha…mg33
- I personally would never delete anything mate. Use a mask, it comes with feather settings.HAYZ1LLLA

I am a solid month into this hobby and completely addicted, I fucking love riding!! Last Saturday I did my first ride over 40 miles! I felt so good after.
I'm looking forward to dropping some weight to gain power and speed and also excited about getting into group rides.
- Good for you hijo!! Get Look pedals next time, you'll get used to them very fast...OBBTKN
- Nice going! I'm a longtime cyclist and don't ride enough. Long rides are so satisfying. I do my best thinking that way.mg33
- Attach a GoPro to your helmet and get some epic footage.utopian
- OBB clipless pedals are next on my list but I am a little scared haha.HijoDMaite
- nice broAQUTE
- Get some gravel tires, pack some lunch and go find some trails! *Your pedals are perfect for it :)slappy
- Fucking nice bro!garbage
- @hijo I absolutely hate clipless, practice the detach to the point where it is complete muscle memory. I'm a straps guy when it comes to training bikes.garbage
- @hijo San Diego county! Hello neighbor!Krassy
- QBN meet up SoCal half century ride?HijoDMaite
- I might wait a year or at least 9 months for the pedals. I want to really learn to ride and lose some weight first.HijoDMaite
- @HijoDMaite i'm in! Let me buy a bike first. LOLKrassy
- I can't stress enough: If you're not used to them, any clipless will result in eating shit even if they are dialed in and your cleats are perfect.garbage
- Highly recommend toe straps, but that's my personal preference. Links:garbage
- https://holdfastordi…garbage
- https://ynotmade.com…garbage
- Toes give you all the pedaling power without the feeling of going the fuck down, and they can be strapped on the pedal you prefer.garbage
- Yeah, toe straps might be the right segway to clipless. I’ll check them out thanks!HijoDMaite
- I'd say go SPD pedals and dial back the tension of the cleats until they pop out with basically zero resistance, and then just gradually tighten them up.BuddhaHat
- I'm stoked to hear you're enjoying riding! Core strength is good for putting less pressure on hands, you can double-wrap grip tape if your hands still hurt.BuddhaHat
- If your junk starts going numb on longer rides, tilt the saddle nose down a tiny bit, and get some decent shorts with a good chamois/pad in them :)BuddhaHat
- Well done, Hijo!dmay
- Great job Hijo.Ramanisky2
- Seconding Buddha on the saddle, you'll be getting Thank You cards in the mail from your nuts. Also seconding the core strength.garbage
- I recommend V-sits and planks, but as with everything in life: dip your toe in. I didn't even mean to make that joke but I'm leaving it.garbage
- YEAH BOIII!!!

The tangerine season has already ended, so I've gotten hooked on a new fruit that is now in season... the problem is that if I abuse them, I end up lost and drunk:
The cherries
- cherries - food of the godshans_glib
- you know cherry stones are full of cyanide. Crushed, they make a great poison, apparently.craigatkinson
- Cherries are in season up here, too, and that makes me very, very happy.Continuity
- Is, err ... is there something you'd like to share with the rest of the class, Mr Atkinson?Continuity
- So messy, but so so deliciousBuddhaHat
- @continuity cherries!craigatkinson
- We have ONE on our tree. It tasted awful LOLHAYZ1LLLA
- Another food I love but I've become allergic to.palimpsest
- @palimp That's a major bummer. Rainiers and pistachios is the ultimate snack, and Rainier season is just getting started.garbage
- I used to have a game with my gf where we would get two bags, weigh them, then eat as many possibly while shopping and chipmunk the seeds.garbage
- Picture two people checking out, not being able to talk, and then immediately spitting out the pits in the parking lot. My record was half a pound. Undefeated.garbage
- <^ lolOBBTKN
- Haha! I don't think I've ever had Rainers.
If they're cooked it's OK, I'll make a clafoutis even if my waif thinks it's a waste of good cherries.palimpsest - Waste of good cherries?! Madame Pali and I need to have a talk, pronto.Continuity
- The absolute king of cherries. In palimp's defense, I've had a Rainier pie a la mode and it was fucking amazing.garbage
- Oh, pali needs no defending, here. He's clearly and unassailably correct. It's his Madame who is making very, very dubious (and indefensible) statements.Continuity
- To the Hague!palimpsest
- Laterally, @garbage, cherries — in relatively large quantities — are said to have a laxative effect. Can you confirm? Was the chipmunking worth it after that?Continuity
- Now I'm thinking civet coffee.palimpsest
- Lol, most definitely. There's the spew in the parking lot, and the spew at home a few hours later.garbage
- Cherry season down here is December and January, perfect for Christmas!sab

so whatever happened to the meta verse.. I expected that hype to last longer than VR did in early 90's, but apart from Facebook changing its name, it seems to have evaporated
- that's because it's total shitehans_glib
- just another lame-ass channel to bombard you with ads and other spamhans_glib
- Just like AI it's all a big hype train bound for the cliff edge of nothingness. VR is really interesting but it is so slow to catch on.PhanLo
- As far as I know there wasn’t a product or point of entry.monospaced
- Zuckerborg just copies whatever it is trending - switching to AI nowgrafician
- Zuck made VR suck ass, Oculus had some dope ass games (still have 2), when FB launched quest 1&2 those were horrible (I have 2 of that crap too)YakuZoku
- VR tethered to PC is dope as fuck, cords suck yeah, and you need a fast PC but the games were so goodYakuZoku
- I'm still enjoying PSVR2 along with approx. 17 other people.MrT

Another font I'm working on. The work title is 'Woid'.
I want thin-light-regular-semibold-bold... so that's a lot of work ahead.
- BTW, I just noticed that FontShop is gone. End of an era.stewart
- Monotype bought them. They’re buying everyoneGnash
- Indeed. I had one of my fonts published by Monotype on FontShop.stewart
- It's interesting. The W looks like it's heading to a sloppy divorce. Kind of makes me.. sleepy?garbage
- I don’t mind a wide design, but the way you’ve done it it feels like a stretched font instead of just designed wide.monospaced
- no one cares what you think, monospaced. nice work, stewartimbecile
- Maybe a variable font, wide -> extended. I'm just sketching for now, searching for interresting shapes.stewart
- The starting point is a custom logotype I made last month with just 4 characters.stewart

It's 10:40, 3 hours ago, I had a juice for breakfast and an hour later, some chorizo and cherries, now I'm having a gelatto affogato, and in 3 hours, lentils and more chorizo for lunch...
Lately it seems like I'm working to make room to eat.

man kind of crushed.. just found out a once very close friend of mine died a couple weeks back.. we used to be thick as thieves which unfortunately for him lead to a downward spiral.. which meant me diverged paths after his went thru rehab and literally found god.. but he had been going well for the last 10 years, and we chatted online..
sadly it appears not all was good.. its so weird tho.. like for a good 6-7 years we were inseparable ..
anyway, hug your friends and make sure they are ok
