So when you die a QBN death do all your posts and comments disappear or just posts? I can still see Drake's comments yet no posts in the politics thread.
- so when you petition constantly for someone to get banned and then it happens, do you continue to talk about them because you miss the drama********
- lol - the only man on QBN who supported Drake - boohoo, do you miss him bless.
Was a genuine question. I have a lost an account before and can't remember.fadein11 - no, it's all preservedscarabin
- weird none of his political posts are visible. It makes sense to do it like that obviously as a lot of people would commit QBN suicide to hide their shit.fadein11
- lol, i never defended him once but ok. mod did it by hand obviously********
- a million shit posts by hand - what a long and depressing job. Anyway... I'm not sure I like it here anymore. A lot of angry people. Night.fadein11
- what a weeding was that respect :)sted
- fadein, this is not the place for hand jobs. people have different minds, we are not mechanism for someones will or desire for controlyurimon
- but this place does get bit rough. but what can expect with political discussion. its taken personal, people ignore factsyurimon

I love this age of mankind in which we live.
This incredible diversity of thoughts, beliefs and ideas. That people living in different continents can easily have a simple conversation, or work for each other without leaving the country, that grandmother who can barely see but shares photos with the world, that we finally started to care about the planet what keeps us alive, and we look at the fucking Mars as a destination to put our feet on.As a kid, I was just dreaming about these technological inventions which we use today while I was reading my fathers scifi books. I couldn't have imagined that some of them can become a reality in my life. The tools around me grown up to my imagination and this sometimes makes me feel that I'm dreaming, but the environment in which I live pulls back to the reality and that's my motivation move forward and invest more in the future. I'm lucky because didn't had to give up any of my dreams, just work hard and take care of myself. The energy what I invested in my field now brings opportunities which I always wanted. It was worth to suffer and miss the many chances to waste time with my friends or on hopeless relationships.
There is no doubt that I wouldn't have to be able to stay so open-minded without this site and the people who make this place so awesome. And I'm grateful to everyone, even for those who believe that I don't think of them in the most positive way. The only thing that drives me in debates is to understand others' reasoning and the way they think.
I believe that every period of humanity there was a point when the people where thinking that this is the most awesome, and the most beautiful to live in, but I'm just happy that I can be a part of this one :)
This era of mankind is simply beautiful and I can only hope that we won't mess it up :)ps: Overnight skype calls about work are the biggest love relationship killers.
- statistically we're living in the best time possible. let's hope shit keeps getting better. the greedy baby boomers sure tried their best to mess everything up.inteliboy
- Come back to real life, tomorrow is Monday.Maaku
- No but seriously, you made me smile. I'm just not sure if you're trolling, everybody does in this site.Maaku
- What made you smile? This is what I think, and wanted to share this earlier, but I couldn't find the right time. You see any signs of sarcasm?sted
- And I'm quite down-to-earth when it's necessary :)sted
- That was a good read to start my morning :-)Ianbolton
- Thanks for sharing it... i feel the same way sometimes.
But sometimes, i waste time with friends and relationships too ;) BalanceOBBTKN - Have you sobered up now?********

Just met sarahfailin (Wesley) yesterday. Nice guy. Smoked a bowl and threw back some beers. I've met a handful of you guys over the years. It's always a little different putting a human face and voice to these posts :D
- It's quite the counterbalance to the anonymous trolls that hide behind screen names, unable or unwilling to reveal who they really are, isn't it?mg33
- Any QBNers in BKK ?d_gitale
- mg33... whenever you in Holland let me know!sureshot
- BKK? me, from time to time...a_aachen
- Good to hear - seems like a cool dude.detritus
- So.... Anyone else emailed Wesley? Me and Shellie can't be the only ones.pango
- ^Only got emails from you two! I was expecting to get trolled by you crazy ppl.sarahfailin
- it was surreal to have conversations about you guys and say your user names outloud. it's reassuring that you're not all characters i made up in my head.sarahfailin
- Lol ya I bet. Especially with some really weird user names.pango
- Yeah like that asian guy pingo or tango can't remember properly ;)

My MacBook Pro (2011) stopped working, weird graphical errors.
Took it to an Apple authorized service provider. Ther verdict: fried GPU, not possible to repair.
Took it to the dodgiest looking shop ever on Nørrebro in Copenhagen for a second opinion:
"No problem - i have fixed this issue many times before in Syria". Is what the guy said.
They fixed it. Appearently by reflowing (look it up!) the GPU. Price: 700 kr (100 $).
- looking up 'reflowing'
awestruck.Gnash - Apparently, all early 2011 MBP's have this issue. Apple even publicly apologised for it.jagara
- apple even issued a recall and fixed them all free of chargemonospaced
- @gnash Yup!jagara
- Haha nice********
- +1dBennn
- @monospaced Yes, but that ship has sailed by now :/jagara
- Oh, and he even gave me a 2 month guarantee - it it failed again in that timeframe, he would repair it again for free!jagara
- check louis rossman links above, makes me happy that you didn't want to get screwed by appleGeorgesII
- NEAT********
- I had a macbook with this problem before. Weird visual artifacts on the screen. Looked like data/circuit bending.sublocked
- this fix is not always guaranteeddrgs
- So many things are like this in modern life. When a fan at my house stops, my wife says 'buy a new one!' but I think it could be fixed easily********
- Apple replaced my board last year free of charge.. But as I hadn't used the machine in like 2 years, a few weeks later the battery expanded..autoflavour
- YUP! Gotta have an elevated cooling fan.teh
- I have this problem too!
and came across this guy's video: https://www.youtube.…lajj - Steve jobs dad was from Syria too. Coincident? I think not!pango
- Isn't that how all the shops in Nørrebro look?jonny_quest_lives
- Huh. I wonder if this would work on mine (if I replace the exploded battery first). It was having really bad heating and graphical issues.i_monk
- autoflavour. For free?!!?!? i tried it last yead those fuckers wants to charge me 600.pango

Jagara and anyone else,
Louis Rossman is trying to make a bill pass that will be a "right to repair" for anyone from any brand,his channel is really informative and goes on and on about apple and how geniuses are fuckn mongoloids,
often it's just a single chip failing but instead of fixing it, apple will make you play an exorbitant price that will make most people just buy a new computer instead>> channel link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist…

- Great video. The argument for manufactures is if I had how to build something from schematics and detailed instructions what would stop people..eryx
- From building and selling their own computers based on these documents?eryx
- I totally understanding the demand for self-repairable machines, especially from Apple. It's something they used to pride themselves on, and now it's non-existemonospaced
- But they can't keep a machine self-repairable AND maintain the smallest form-factors they're using now.monospaced
- I do hope they make efforts to allow it, but I don't expect it on the laptop line as much as I do a desktop.monospaced

People say there are no perfect circles in nature. But there are. We humans create perfect circles all the time. And we are a part of nature. Why do we always exclude ourselves from "nature"?? If another animal (say a beetle) created a perfect circle from something, we'd say there are perfect circles in nature. But for some reason when humans makes perfect circles (in manufacturing, technology, etc.) it doesn't count.
- Nevermind. I understand now. Thanks Google.iCanHazQBN
- there is no such thing as a perfect circle. Theoretical concept.fadein11
- Manufactured circles are never perfect just as good as they can be based on the processes used. You trolling?fadein11
- "Nature" has two definitions. It's true that most people think of human activity as outside of nature, but really everything is nature.********
- fadein11, I agree with you. I said "nevermind" up top.iCanHazQBN
- What I misunderstood by the word "perfect" is are we talking about "perfect" to the human eye and measuring tools?.. or "perfect" on the atomic level?iCanHazQBN
- My comment is based on the premise that you have an idea of how "perfect" it needs to be.********
- But I think what's more interesting is that humans consider themselves to be separate from nature.********
- here, have a perfet circle:
x^2 + y^2 = r******** - how do you measure perfect?yurimon
- iCanHazQBN2
^ "Mathematically speaking, a circle is the set of points in a plane that are equidistant from a given point. For a circle to be perfect, you’d need all those points in the circle’s circumference to match up exactly. And for all those points to match up exactly you’d need this precision to remain constant no matter how closely you looked: the particles, the cells, the atoms... And are these “points” stationary or are they in motion? The maddening search for perfection simply breaks down."
- If you zoom in close enough, then no, of course there are no perfect circles.iCanHazQBN
- and all those points = infinity so therefore no perfect circle can ever exist in nature.fadein11
- wow - you just realised this? not being mean just interested.fadein11
- I didn't know what "perfect" meant in this context. That's all.iCanHazQBN
- Not if its vector!!!pango
- using mathematics, circles are perfectmonospaced

- if you observe wave motion from a center. interesting to investigate this in regards to wave motion in nature, frequency. depending also the resistance in a wavyurimon
- you will get a perfect circle perhaps depending on a wave pattern/frequency/en... as attributes perhaps.yurimon
- https://www.youtube.…imbecile
- yuri, you are wrong.imbecile
- beyond physical world we perceive we dont know if there is anything more round or similar effect that is symmetrical as circle in wave functionyurimon
- if you are talking about a perfect circle in nature its hard to assume unless you see all phenomenon but yes i see this from man made perspectiveyurimon

Is everyone using Chrome? Who in here is using Firefox?
- Both, chrome works better on sites with massive js, ff is good in playing media and crap and it's not creating 6541654165 tasks, just 1.sted
- chrome primarily... very useful for doing dev work... second would be safari rather than firefox (mac)PonyBoy
- i've read somewhere that we're better using Firefox, that Chrome is collecting all sort of data for Google.Bennn
- nothing what you can't turn off. and chrome pretty much owns the market:
http://icdn3.digital…sted - FFmoldero
- Safari most of the time.pango
- Firefox for dev and Chrome for mail and Google apps on desktop. Chrome for surfing on mobile and tablet.OBBTKN
- strange that Chrome works much better on mobilested
- firefox********
- I read that Chrome allows you to request a Do Not Track (but advertisers can ignore it), whereas Firefox's Do Not Track actually works 100%.********
- FF - Saf - ChromeAl_dizzle
- Safari for everyday browsing, mainly b/c how it's connected to all my other Apple devices. Chrome/FF/IE's just for dev / testing.fyoucher1
- Firefox 4 eva, although I used Chrome on mobile for very mundane reasons. Must stop that habit.detritus
- Mundane things like NT...OBBTKN
- Firefox only.i_monk

ClientName-Stuff-Siz...sted - lol @uan and @sted, you know it's easier to read when you use underscore vs dashes....no?Maaku
- :SADF "ClientName- Stuff- Size- DateTime"sted
- _ is better, because when you doubleclick on it, the whole things gets selected, while with - only the strings between the - get selected.uan
- it's easy to misread _ as spacested
- not on win :) double click selects the entire string single just the stuff between the separator...sted
- Hmmm, I was taught that underscores were faster to recognize, maybe I'm wrong but for me it makes it easier to read long names.Maaku
- can be, i think it's more about which you're used to... how does a proper project folder looks like? (i use Materia/Source/Produ... structure)sted
- Folder structures are the same for every project, at least that keeps it "organized" somehow. It's just hard to make everyone use the same convention for namingMaaku
- for naming files.Maaku
- If you're using caps/camel case hyphen or underscore doesn't matter, the eye is trained to recognize caps as word-start too.i_monk

My girlfriend just pulled a Britney Spears-esque meltdown and cut off her beautiful hair.
She's acting aloof and I can't get a hold of her.
I can't take her serious anymore.
