Coronavirus
Amazing that almost 12 months later this thread is still riddled with posts smuggly throwing out cherry picked data, conspiracy theories and arm-chair analysis. Didn't realise this was a scientific forum full of epidemiologists.
I get peoples frustration.... but you do wonder what it'd take for some to just admit we're in a pandemic.
"People who believe COVID-19 conspiracy theories tend to struggle with scientific reasoning, study finds"
- Mookamericautopian
- it's amazing that 12 months later people still believe in the fear induced by mathematical MODELS despite the fact that REAL data proves otherwise.pr2
- Covid-19 Is not a conspiracy theory.
But as soon you ask questions about it, you become a conspiracy theorists.ApeRobot - Half a million dead Americans. pr2. Half a million. That’s more covid deaths this year than ever before.monospaced
- 3 million died last year, and i never saw you freaking out mono.pr2
- Nope. No covid deaths in 2019. Wrong again.monospaced
- Um... So you only freak out over covid deaths? The rest are all cool with you?pr2
- “It doesn’t even exist” is the one that baffles me the most.Ianbolton
- pr2, a terrorist kills 30 people and we lose our shit, a plane crashes killing a few hundred and we ground entire fleets, what do you mean we don't freak out?_niko
- we're still in the midst of it, we can't comprehend a number so large (would have been 6x bigger with inactivity) but when the dust settles the gravity of it_niko
- hits us, then we'll finally understand the true horrors of this pandemic._niko
- niko, this is the skewed way we perceive reality and how the news enhances this misconception. 9/11 happens every month in car crash mortality. So?pr2
- Seatbelts, road signs, speed limits, traffic patrol, speed cameras, red light cameras, billions of infrastructure, air bags, indicators etc etc etcinteliboy
- Is how we attempt to deal with road accidents. What other false equivalencies are on your mind pr2?inteliboy
- So is not coming to the office when sick, covering your mouth when you sneeze and wash your hands when "under the weather."pr2
- We and our bodies dealt with viruses since the beginning of civilization. This one is relatively trivial based on HARD data - not some math models.pr2
- Wrong. This virus has an incubation period, with no symptoms, when you are contagious.inteliboy
- So by the time you feel "under the weather" you have spent two weeks spreading the fucker.inteliboy
- It also hits people in different ways. And has a laundry list of shot and long terms issues. Which are still being studied.inteliboy
- Though anyway, talking to you pr2 is like communicating to a brick wall.inteliboy
- You've always been this way. Even when about things like film or art. Let alone a pandemic lol.inteliboy

- Self-checkout produce only saves a few bucks, but the rush is priceless lol.garbage
- Haha so true. When i was at art college i worked at safeway stacking shelves. There were certain products that you'd ALWAYS get called to the checkout...microkorg
- ...to go grab a second packet/can/bottle of so they could scan it to get the right price as theyd lose their barcodes so yeah memorising these would save you...microkorg
- ..a lot of trips to and fro during a shift. Was always awesome to see look on customers face (and cashiers) as you rattle off a barcode to them from memory...microkorg
- ...as if you knew the barcode of every item in the shop off-by-heart lol. so yeah that pic tickled me.microkorg
- The worst is when they don’t even know what it is at all. Can’t tell the difference between basic fresh herbs. Fucking pathetic.monospaced

FUCK ADOBE!
So this sucks...
January 2023: Adobe applications will not recognize the presence of Type 1 fonts, even if you have Type 1 fonts installed in your desktop operating system.
https://helpx.adobe.com/fonts/kb…
Does anybody have a good conversion tool they would recommend?
- Someone going to make a boat-load of money converting and or selling modified Type 1 fonts to conform with Adobe's 2023 New World Order initiative.utopian
- Oh crapGnash
- how and why are you still even using type 1 fonts?doesnotexist
- I’ve been doing this a long time. My font library is massive, and many of my archived jobs use t1Gnash
- Why could they not just grandfather in Type 1?hardhat
- i have a massive archive as well, and honestly i'm over it. fonts are dumb. it doesn't matter. nothing matters. [sign out]doesnotexist
- bummer... unfortunately most of the younger designers i work with use google fonts or dafont anyway. just sucks cuz my library of fonts has saved me a few timesjonny_quest_lives
- might have to buy an open type avant garde nowjonny_quest_lives
- i was joking with dafont btw... mostly google fonts and adobe typekit fonts are what get passed around work nowadays.jonny_quest_lives
- clients tend to pucker when you discuss licensing fonts for end usage so commercial free to use out the box it is for nowjonny_quest_lives
- But those don't work on Mac anyway, right?grafician
- All fonts work on Macs.monospaced
- I am currently using around 20 fonts, besides those arranged by company (clients).maquito
- Most of those I have carried for many years, and have been slightly fine-tuned; mainly kerning.maquito
- Doesnotexist, woah! Been a minute since I’ve seen your name here. Or maybe it’s been a minute since I paid attention. Anyway. Sup?lvl_13

Imagine lying on a meadow in front of Minneapolis international airport, listening to trance music, smoking a cigarette.
What sounds somewhat unreal, was me. Back in September 1995.
Just had a flashback listening to the mix I heard back then.

Simon should have his own thread.
Keep his art separated from all that pedo stuff going on on COTD.I rarely check that thread but I like to see Simon's work once in a while...okay I could check his website but I honestly think he shouldn't be posting in that thread.
He saves it sometimes it's true...
Just a thought.
