First day at work again, got a new office in the agency.
On the paper it's way better, because bigger, brighter, quieter.But fml, HR sitting behind a glass wall behind me.
Will hang up a playboy-poster to protect my privacy. Otherwise: Byebye butt of the day, chick of the day, boobs of the day, etc.

where the fuck is detritus?
- He's still around. Just under a different nick.Continuity
- ^Nairn
- why?Gnash
- He got tired of certain elements of QBN and earth-scorched his username, then realised he had nothing better to do so skulked back in under original nickNairn
- good to know he's around. makes me happyoey
- ah. glad he's not dead.Gnash
- It's been nice having you back, Nairn... good to have respectable members back... let dickwads like detritus suck a salty set of 'em... that's what I say. <3PonyBoy
- He was VERY handsome though.Nairn

Where can a mofo go these days to get a bit of inspiration for a new site I have to design. I'm so uninspired at the moment. I think I may have had enough of this business. hmphh.

- it's more about design in general. still cool.renderedred
- https://www.siteinsp…fadein11
- Thanks fade.
Render, that sites looks like a lot of stuff I could never get past my clients. Thanks anyway.Hayzilla - I love SiteInspire.mg33

The city's been doing water main work on our street for nearly a year now with no end in sight. Over the last few weeks we've had the water shut off four times, three without any warning, including today.

Trying to drink apple cider vinegar in the mornings and it's torture.
- why?monospaced
- why is it torture? because it's a pretty disgusting taste to me.sea_sea
- well, yeah, the stuff is pure vinegar ... I mean, why drink it in the mornings?monospaced
- i love the stuffGnash
- pinch and hold your nose ;-)Krassy
- while pounding it, and right after that have a lemon wedge squeeze in. Done.Krassy
- My wife hears this bullshit from her clients all the time, and laughs. Vinegar aint gonna help you lose weight or boost your metabolism.zarkonite
- I tried it for a day and couldn't do it after thatpinkfloyd
- Krassy I do the nose pinch! Lol the lemon wedge is a good idea thank you.sea_sea
- Mono, it helps me with acid reflux and helps my gal bladder.sea_sea
- Also, not everything is about losing weight and/or whether it's a placebo or "magic" lol. Natural Remedies are mostly preventative practices.sea_sea
- As a vinegar, this would be quite acidic. This will not reduce acid reflux, it will only make it worse. Ask any doctor.monospaced
- Still gross tho. lol one thing I'm not into is kambucha. Grew up on that stuff, my mom grew her own batch, made me drink that stuff. gag me now. :Psea_sea
- Actually ACV helps balance pH levels reducing acid burn. Works for many people including myself.sea_sea
- Sorry, it really doesn't. It will only exacerbate the situation. There's nothing about an acidic solution that will balance the acidity.monospaced
- If you have bad reflux, adding ACV can make it much worse. Antacids will balance it though. Guaranteed.monospaced
- Ask any doctor.monospaced
- maybe try alkaline waterpinkfloyd
- the internet says you should mix it with water at least...but also honey, lemon whatever tastes good.uan
- acv for acid reflux? weird..
I use a pinch of baking soda in water once per week, cured.futurefood - @mono/pink some docs will also tell you that giving your organism acid will make it stop making more of it. it doesn't detect the need to produce more of it.uan
- dont do the alkaline water nor the bicarb soda. cider vinger is great. Cook with it if you need to but get that shit down you!mugwart
- Apple cider vinegar works. I put it in my shakes after a workout. Along with a healthy diet, and exercise I've shaved off 11-lbs, and started putting on muscle.twooh
- Yea, I dilute it with water. Avoiding the sugar so no honey. I've done it for a while too then stopped, getting back into it is whats difficult.sea_sea
- so good for you. i drink a glass / bottle of water after i wake up. I take my shot of ACV before i shower and let the steam do the rest. #healthysinusesimbecile
- Anyone with a healthy diet and exercise will lose weight. Giving credit to ACV is odd, and is based almost entirely on anecdotal evidence.monospaced
- does it work?drgs
- start with a small dose and increment slowly but constantly during 1-2 month, you'll get used to it without aversion.uan
- I'm just here to say I'm not an expert on this subject, so I'll keep my 2 cents to myself lest people think I'm a twat.Gucci
- @uan *excrementfuturefood
- isn't acid needed to digest food though? having low acid isn't a good thing?pinkfloyd
- I do ACV almost every day, instantly relieves acid reflux. Sea sea, check out https://www.earthcli… they have tons of home remediesrobotron3k
- earthclinic.comrobotron3k
- Acid reflux is caused by your lower esophageal sphincter not working properly, nothing to do with your stomach's acidity. You're all failing at basic biology =)zarkonite
- fuck. i just put it in my salad. tastes goodGnash
- You should try rosé vinegar, it's delicious.zarkonite
- robo i love earthclinic, no joke. i think that's where i originally found ACV. Also found the oil and lemon concoction for kidney stones that worked within 1hr.sea_sea
- i get that some of you aren't into natural remedies and all that witchcrafty stuff, but i didn't come here for a doctors note. lolsea_sea
- Don't blindly trust doctors. LOL! Anyone who does is gullible (looking at you, mono)chukkaphob
- If u went to the doctor for treating Acid Reflux they'll probably prescribe you a bunch of shit drugs with 12 side effects. Exactly what you shouldn't be takingchukkaphob
- ACV works great for Acid Reflux as well as for a list of other remedies.......diges... blood pressure, cold, sore throat, skin, sllergies, etc etc . USE IT!chukkaphob
- lol... look at all the QBN Doctors helping you understand your own body, seas!!! :PPonyBoy
- the purple pill made me lose an armpinkfloyd
- lol it's all good. what matters i suppose is we are aware of our own body and find what we each need. what works for me isn't necessarily what works for others.sea_sea
- Also check out an activated charcoal pill regime for a few days and/or Dr. Berg's powdered wheatgrass juice to get your greens up, that stuff is greatrobotron3k
- ^ i use charcoal when I have eaten gluten and it stops me getting so sick. This shouldn't be used sparely, it takes away all the good 'things' as well as bad.mugwart
- IS THERE NO LOVE FOR TEH TUMERICK??!?!?!?!?!?hans_glib
- charcoal should only be used for burning meat to perfection !Gnash
- ... and drawing naked peopleGnash
- lol! i use charcoal any time there's a digestive issue. i never leave on any travels without it, since you never know what you're going to eat.sea_sea
- mug, didn't know it takes good stuff away. will look into it. even tho it rarely use it, but it's good to know.sea_sea
- hans, i've used turmeric for inflammation. i also used it for my dog and his arthritis. it helped him so much. so def love for it and all things natural. ;)sea_sea

Rather than start a Toaster OTD thread, I thought I'd just share this here:
A steal at $150. The questions and reviews on Amazon are pretty hilarious.
"How do you keep the toaster spiritually fulfilled? That's the key to making it shut up."
- back in my restaurant days I paid $1200 for a toasterGnash
- Ive never owned a toaster.DRIFTMONKEY

I have a 2nd interview for a remote job coming up next Tuesday, as well as another interview for a different company in downtown Dallas, walking distance from my place.
Many people are jumping the boat at my current job where I've been employed for about a year and a half. 5 developers turned in their resignation last week and I heard others will do the same soon. That's what you get when you don't organize your team and plan things out in a so-called "Agile" environment.

When I browse through threads on here I always click to the last page to get to the most recent posts. I always thought it was a UX flaw and odd considering this is supposed to be a design forum of sorts.
I just found the newest/oldest link.

LOL our newest operation manager lasted 53 days.
So far nobody can keep that position longer than 1 and half year.
We even have a pool going for the each new person who gets the job. And I've lost everyone of them...

I'm selling my wired Yamaha receiver and speakers. I want to go wireless and listen to Sporify by Bluetooth. All i see is portable speakers to go to the beach... any products for home audio? What are you using?
- Liking my Sonos for sure, bang for the buckrobotron3k
- bose soundlink, great sound from a tiny unithans_glib
- Almost every single new receiver has Bluetooth and/or Spotify built in. You might just get one and keep the speakers you have.monospaced
- Why though?section_014
- but if you want the all-in-one, it's hard to beat the Sonos setups, if you have the money to spend (waste?)monospaced
- @section: Tired of plugging my phone in the Yahama and would like to control the playlist from a distance, also something smaller and less wiresBennn
- I've had a few over the years and the Bose ones were disappointing imho, currently using a Ears Boom 2 that I love.spl33nidoru
- extend your exisitng setup with a BT receiver. All this AIO crap is dying too quick imomekk
- i think you're right... Maybe i will just stick a Google Chromecast Audio in itBennn

- I just went this weekend with a housemate of mine get her a Technics HiFi System from 1981. Amp, tuner, turntable, cassttedeck, cd player, equalizer.oey
- Klipsch with monitor and bluetoothCALLES
- 130€...working perfectly. It's her first proper sound system. now with a Vestax PMC 05 Pro II and two walkmans all connected... ready to rock!oey
- Ok, I'm keeping my stuff. :)Bennn
- I mean...I started researching cause she wants to deejay with cassettes. I ended up buying a cassette deck for myself.oey
- now I have a amp, equalizer and cassette deck connected. also connected to the same amp a mixer, two turntables, two walkman and my computer.oey
- trying to get a wha wha pedal to connect to mixer. then more practice. depends what you wanna do and I like to listen to music in hi quality in the dark.oey
- looking at all those lights after smoking one...yes!oey
- been using Sonos for 4 yrs and I love it.
Pricey but solid product.Ramanisky2 - Sporify™ I like it.Hayoth
- Yamaha YAS-108, bluetooth, has bass built in, check it outTurboslacker
- it's impossible to have real subwoofers inside a slim soundbar, sorry ... that isn't "bass built in" at all, just marketing BS.monospaced
- That Yamaha soundbar is considered entry level at best, with the lowest price point and lowest sound quality they offer in their line. It's basically low end.monospaced
- And with such a small form factor, there's virtually no channel separation at all, making it the worst solution for music imaginable. It would be a downgrade.monospaced
- You know you can get a bluetooth adapter for your existing receiver, right? May not be exactly what you're looking for, but a cheap solution.nocomply
- Something like this: https://www.amazon.c…nocomply
- Or I'm pretty certain an Echo dot would work and allow voice control over spotify.nocomply
- You're downgrading the quality.pango
- i saved my old yamaha with a cheap bt adapter. i think you can still find it for free on wish.com (just paying the $3-4 shipping)sted
- I changed my mind and Im keeping it all. I may stick a Chromecast Audio (its a thing) on itBennn
- Ya I'd do that too.
Now you have option to use cable if you still want to.pango - yup ... does tht support Spotify?monospaced
- yes Spotify work with Chromecast Audio and the Chromecast for TV tooBennn

I was tasked over the holidays by my partner to help a friend of hers move a wardrobe down a couple of flights of stairs. There was to be a handful of blokes (because Feminism) to help do this.
We got there a bit late — because of course my partner is always late for everything — which makes me late for everything. They were already down one flight of stairs, trying to work out how to get it around the tight corner to address the next flight down.
Bear in mind I'm not from my partner's place, barely know all her friends, and more importantly — don't speak the language.
I think immediately to myself "they're doing this wrong" but set aside my doubts as Not My Place. 10 minutes after, no real movement and a small crack appearing in one of the side panels and a dink taken out of some plasterwork, I begin to fulfill my role as argumentative northern twat.
"It's ..erm.. an Ikea Wardrobe. Why ..er.. don't we take it apart? It'll be a lot easier..." (in poor Foreign).
Nup. I'm out of my waters here, evidently. So cue another 20 minutes of fecklessness and someone nearly getting crushed.
So I press my point and start spastically explaining in my most broken of Foreign which bits we should at least remove, making the thing lighter and easier to wiggle around and eventually I get my way. Apparently one of the others there had quietly mooted this before I got there too but was closed down.
Realising how easy it is to take the fucking thing apart (because Ikea) we end up going a lot further and then making it super easy to take the wardrobe to the ground floor and out.
Yay me. But my takeaway from this wasn't my heroism, moral superiority, practical pragmatic and Northern European logic or dashing good looks — it was this:
The person who had quietly mooted the obvious solution before I got there was a professional wine grower, whilst the three other people there who insisted upon their own stupid path were two architects and a guy who works for local government.
Prejudices confirmed.
- i'm lost. what are the prejudices?Krassy
- Architects and people who work for local government are generally useless at life.Nairn
- Generalized entire group of people based on your own experience. Prejudices confirmed.
Slow claps.pango - rightKrassy
- haha, ok - i work with architects quite a lot, so though this amusing, perhaps not. As an aside - how do you work people out, beyond your own experience?Nairn
- uhhhh, wine growers are basically some of the most important, useful groups of people who ever existed and have graced this earth, dudemonospaced
- Yes, and he was the only other person who wasn't a muppet.Nairn

In a bar this weekend I overheard a 20-something man describe to a friend a recent sexual encounter he had with a woman with the following:
Guy 1: “Dude. Bro. Down there she looked like someone took a half pound of pastrami and smashed it a few times with Lucille.” < that’s the barbed wire bat from The Walking Dead, FYI.
Guy 2: “That’s fuckin’ sick dude. Was it just all lips everywhere?”
Guy 1: “Yeah man, I can handle a little extra but this was like a New York deli, big pile of it.”
Guy 2: “So you still fucked her though?”
Guy 1: “Well yeah, I just didn’t look at it. And I lost her number when I left.”- Half pound of pastrami... LMAOOBBTKN
