Is there anything better than truffle oil and truffle mushrooms?
I'm addicted to that shit. Could sprinkle it on just anything.
- yes, but I don't want to screw up you ;)OBBTKN
- Costco has a truffle salt that’s awesome on friesscarabin
- It’s not even real. Derp.monospaced
- Truffle oil jerky is my jam.DRIFTMONKEY
- Truffle mushrooms aren’t real? Ok, mono. You’re right. We all live in a simulation.NBQ00
- Yes, sour plum powder from Taiwan.shapesalad
- Im missing out sounds likeGuyFawkes
- Truffle oil usually doesn’t have any truffles. I’m not stupid either. I know what truffles are ffs.monospaced
- Then you haven’t had the expensive stuff :)NBQ00
- Of course I have. That’s why I know that 90% of truffle oil on the market is total bullshit. And most people don’t have an actual truffle in their homes.monospaced

Another night with barely slept, 3 of 4 nights this week, and in Mo. was not fantastic. Lots of work and I'm going exhausted to bed...
But at 2 or 3am... Zas! I'm up again :(
I'm trying with cbd oil, but I need to take lots of it to get some drowsiness.
New clients, lots of projects waiting for this crazy year, not all bad, but I want some free time for pack my bike and do something not work related.
* I now, it's the same rant again and again, but ey! It's a message to self to change something, and now.

So the black qbn site was known? Can anyone fill me in on why the site looked like that on my projector? Bug or what?
- Also, can I enable it in Chrome?StoicLevels
- noones snitching eh? fine... a mystery it shall remainStoicLevels
- somewhere on here there's a thread with some downloadable css to shove into chromehans_glib
- was it in the projector OS? they can flip it automatically for energy saving. I remember that was in maple browser (horrible) when I was building Samsung appskingsteven
- It was in the projectors custom browserStoicLevels
- Made me wonder if qbn has a look for smart tvs perhapsStoicLevels
- yeah it's weird, i think that energy saving only works on OLEDs anyway, no idea why it would do that on a projector.kingsteven

I was outside gardening when the neighborhood crows started going apeshit. Followed the noise a couple blocks out of curiosity and found this poor guy in a gutter with his legs broken...
He was alive and alert but didn’t resist me picking him up (causing the other crows to start freaking out even more) and taking him back home, where i called a wildlife rehabilitator i knew from the hummingbird incident. Got it to them shortly thereafter.
Hope the lil guy makes it!
- Keep doing the dark lords work!GuyFawkes
- I hope the other crows don’t think i abducted him :/scarabin
- Fucking he’ll dude how bad ass and how scarabin would it be to walk around with a raven on your shoulder lol_niko
- nicei_was
- animals come to Doctor Dolittle for helpdrgs
- I wear a wizard hat while gardening ‘cause of the sun and i forgot to remove it when i dropped him off. Must have looked like i was on a side quest or somethingscarabin
- We found a crow with a shattered wing in the street last year, we drove him 90 mins. to an avian rehab place. Hope your fella makes it. =(elahon
- https://i.imgur.com/…utopian
- yup they definitely thinks you abducted it.
gotta keep your eyes up walking on the street now.pango - Did you ever find out what happened to it, elahon?scarabin
- They told us when we left that if he pulled through, they'd call us and if he didn't, they wouldn't. We didn't hear back. =( But their expressions when weelahon
- dropped him off said it all. They could see blood and muscle tissue in the break area and they didn't think they could save him. We gave a donation, though.elahon
- We go through a 5lb bag of peanuts a week for the crows, they all come to our house, hahaha. They're amazing creatures.elahon
- That was a good thing you did there.StoicLevels
- good heart act, scarabin!Krassy
- Good karma :)NonEntity
- ^ lol I love you man.garbage
- they love peanuts! i've been placing them along my fence for the buggersscarabin
- So from my personal experience of courting a murder of crows, I can say one thing that they love is a bird bath. Sculpture time!garbage

Had the first dose of AstraZeneca vaccine on Saturday.
Immediately felt the side effects and this weekend was spent dealing with, what felt like, a very short and intense bout of flu: aches, fuzzy head, vomiting, sniffles, hot and cold shivers.
However, this has now all passed and i'm glad to say i'm back to normal. Having spoken to others that have had it, it seems like everyone has had flu like symptoms for a few days, some worse than others.
After loosing a relative to Covid almost a year ago today, i'm glad I've had the opportunity have it.
- Yeah my partner had it on Sat, was bad all day y'day but back to normal today.
Hearing a lot of similar reports from others as well. My 81 year old mother hadfadein11 - no side effects at all.fadein11
- Interesting fact - flu like symptoms are engineered by you body, all part of the immune response.shapesalad
- @shape, indeed. But the symptoms after this one do seem to be stronger than say a flu jab. Not saying that's a reason not to have it though!fadein11
- @Fadein, Same with my parents. Both had no side effects at all. My wife was looking in to it and reckons that it effects younger folk more severely.Morning_star
- @shape, i didn't know that. Every day's a school day.Morning_star
- vomiting? That's pretty heavy duty side effectscassiellux
- Had my first does of Pfizer on saturday as well. Also felt like shit. No vomiting though. Still trying to sort out my emotions on this one.bogue
- Feeling relief, fear, and a whole shit load of guilt all at once.bogue
- To be fair, i threw up once and it made me feel a whole lot better. We had a 'what to expect' info leaflet and one of the symptoms was vomiting. ...Morning_star
- ...It didn't alarm me. @bogue, my wife was very upset when we were having it as we were remembering her grandfather. It's all very raw and emotional.Morning_star
- Good you're well. I hope I don't get AstraZeneca. Seems BioNTech is the best one.NBQ00
- Friends, working as teacher and elder carers, vacinated with AZ got the same simptoms, nothing serious by now... Like a pair of days with like-a-flu body achesOBBTKN

Had a quick surgery this morning. Doctor said it could have easily turned into a sepsis and 37,000 people die of a sepsis per year in Germany. It started out with a pimple on my back which got worse and worse. Now I have a very deep wound but I am glad all went well.
- I almost lost a friend with sepsis, after not taking care of a wound.
Hope you're doing well Simon, cheers!!OBBTKN - pics?drgs
- Yikes. Wishing you a speedy recovery!mort_
- Dang, Close one! Scars are cool. Get a better story, thoughGnash
- Does it look like a bullet wound?Gnash
- get well soon, Simon!Krassy
- I won’t share pictures. It looks very nasty. Won‘t leave a scar, I think.SimonFFM
- Thanks for recovery wishes. As of now, it barely hurts. Probably due to medication.SimonFFM
- shoot a load.utopian
- Get well soon!Akagiyama
- Drag! I had sepsis once! Spent a week in the ICU! Lucky to be alive.boobs

My friend Karen is a total badass. Super cool, tons of cred, great designer and a true humanist who stands up for others.
Very unfair to have your name co-opted so widely to something so negative.

Tightening spokes on your bicycle -- is this something you need to do often?
- And there are of course 40 spoke wrench sizes to choose fromdrgs
- This is one thing I'm happy to pay a bike shop to do. It's seriously fucking hard to get it right without proper equipment.section_014
- And seriously easy to make it worse. Truing the wheel, that is. But, if you just have a loose one, definitely do it yourself. It's usually one of three sizes.section_014
- No, and what section_014 said. I tried it once. Never again.Nairn
- You don't need to tighten the spokes. Like section_014 said you need to true the wheel by either tightening or untightening the spokes.palimpsest
- A loose spoke is letting all the other spokes do the work, so yes, tighten them up. Flick the spokes with your finger to hear overly tight or loose ones.monNom
- a little wobble is easy to correct. loosen spokes on one side, tighten them on the other. small increments. Listen for the right pitch when pinging the spokes.monNom
- Truer words have never been spokenstoplying
- Don't tight spokes too much, you might end with an egg...oey_oey
- Super easy to nip it up for a quick fix, if you have multiple loose spokes, take it to a shop. Truing isn't that expensive. Bike will ride better after.slappy
- Yes. True them wheels.garbage
- So, basically look for deviating spokes and correct themdrgs
- Yup, but make sure to cross-tighten to have even tension. https://www.youtube.…garbage
- Bring it in and ask them to do it with normal maintenance like replacing brake pads. You could go years without needing it. Also, keep your tires inflated.CyBrainX
- ...It's less likely to get the wobblies if you're tires remain inflated. It's pretty easy for a shop to true your wheels. They might charge you $10.CyBrainX

I've been headhunted by a competing marketing "agency".
They've offered me everything i don't get from my current arrangement; benefits, better pay, etc. etc. etc.
Is this a no brainer? Been meeting with the CEO (twice) now and it feels too good to be true, BUT it is true.
Does it have QBN approval?!
: )
- no.
stay in your shit job.
moan about it constantly.
this is the qbn way.hans_glib - hahahahansNairn
- If you've met with him twice and aren't thinking there're any down-sides, youv'e already made your decision. At worst, use it to barter with current employer?Nairn
- And, Well done! Good Luck.Nairn
- This is the relevant AND irrelevant shit I love about QBN and it's motley crew of characters!ideaist
- Try not to lose both jobs. Good luck!grafician

- We're working to formalize our office setups (my wife & I) as we worked from home, got jobs (out of house) and here we are back at the start.
: )ideaist - It's the feel good story of the year!stoplying
- Yes! And congrats!!OBBTKN
- 1) are they doing it to get you or to get at your current agency?
...comicsans - 2) using it to barter will (should) be seen as extortion and you will (should) get told to fuck off.comicsans
- By all means mention it and see if you get a better offer but if you use it to ask for a better offer you have already proved how loyal you are.comicsans

I'm working on a green screen project that's going to emulate one of the Wandavision commercials. I'm trying to find a stock image of a 1950s office with no people in it, wide framing. I can't track down any office images on istockphoto, getty or anywhere. Does anyone happen to know of any retro stock sites? Or anyplace else to look?
Thanks in advance as always!- why not make one in 3D?grafician
