As a former graphic department manager, artists can be difficult to work with… for non-artists.

I got to see how frustrated the boss/owner got dealing with us. We’re not a neat, blackbox they can shove instructions into and get out a perfectly formed product on the first round--which is what they think AI will give them soon. If they think AI will be better at dealing with client demands, I’ll be happy to watch them fail with that.

Not at all, as my ex-wife could tell you, or maybe she’d just imply it.

Predictable. He cares about no one but himself. Zero empathy. Just like all billionaires.

Lemmy is better than Reddit.

For now.

And, you left it there long enough to retrieve another camera of some sort to take a picture, rather than snatching it back out as quickly as possible?

Sus.

Unpopular opinion: Don’t drink that shit at all.

But, I do agree, from back when I used to drink that shit.

I agree completely. I chose a white house, and when I had my shingles replaced a couple of years ago, I told the guy I wanted the whitest ones. I’ve watched with interest the new “ultra white” paints that reflect a certain wavelength of the infrared spectrum straight back into space, thereby passively cooling a house. I’d love to slather my entire house in that stuff.

New Mexico. However, it does get pretty cold here in the winter, and a black house in the winter would be nice. But, I spend more on cooling than heating here, so white house it is.

No.

defeats the purpose of fries

I didn’t know there was a purpose of fries beyond being yummy to whoever eats them.

Nah. Dessert doesn’t need to be sweet, and main meals don’t need to be savory. It doesn’t matter at all.

I did many times as a kid.

Bigger tiles require a flatter floor. That’s one reason to use small tiles on the floor, or anywhere for that matter. You don’t need a perfect floor or wall.

True, but it’s just semantics. You know what you’re getting whatever the word is.

I agree for more formal writing. For instance, if I quote a character in a story I’m writing, I’ll use “Okay.” But, if I’m quoting what they texted, I’ll use “OK”.

I use “yea” as a cheer. Like, “Yea! It’s raining!”

Unable to get Ranch for fries at Five Guys, and not liking ketchup, I started ordering a side of mayo for the seasoned fries. That quickly became my favorite fries. I haven’t eaten out since the pandemic, but if I were to go out, I’d go to Five Guys to get this. Or, to KFC for an extra crispy chicken breast.

You’re free to save anything locally, aren’t you?

I dunno about phones, but I use the SingleFile extension for LibreWolf. It saves a website page complete in one html file, including images.

They cornered Luigi into a plea deal because they know no jury will convict him.

We’ll see what happens with the state charges.

This is bigger than I thought it was. In the first pictures, it looked like it was 4" tall.

This would make quick work of leveling those fins:

Most people have time to make at least their evening meal at home from fresh food. They just don’t make that a priority. They’re holding the instructions in their hands, but instead of learning basic cooking skills, they’re ordering delivery and watching TikTok.

Yes, I’m blaming the parents for what they feed their kids. Big shock, I suppose.
