I've had a persistent cough for over a year now. I hope it's nothing serious. I have a virtual doc appointment next week.
Also doing some mold tests in the house. It seemed to start right when we moved into our new house.

Today I have my first shoot since August 2020 (with a nude model). Feels very weird after such a long time. And with CoVid testing prior to the shoot and mask. Feeling a bit puzzled shortly before driving to pick up the model.
- Is there a market for masked nudes? Just curious.nb

- You might try rigging up a vacuum chamber to degas your concrete before pouring. I think they do that with cast countertops.monNom
- Ahh good idea. I have one of those, i’ll try it with my next pourscarabin
- respect scar, other people learn stuff during quarantine, but you push it to another level by doing cocks.oey_oey

What a week, a month, a year... gosh! Ok, the day is finished at least...
I miss the sea, the regional gov is going to lift the curfew and the mobility bans this weekend, but I've already had a plan for a couple of barbecues ... the sea will have to wait.

Have a nice weekend... locos!

We got some of my wife's old jewellery appraised and 1 ring is worth 40k USD. It was left to her by a grandma she had a special dislike for so she wants to sell it. Question for QBN, does this make her a bad person?
- Go fuck off evil cunt. Happy?********
- I forgot what I was going to write after reading previous comment.
I don't think it wouldd be relevant anymore.oey_oey - Had a similar thing with a necklace given to my wife. If you had it appraised for insurance, it's doubtuful you'd sell it for near that price.BusterBoy
- We had a piece valued at $45K but were told it's sale price would be closer to $10K.BusterBoy
- Sorry. I was drunk.********
- I meant what you wrote was worse than what I intended to but mine wasn't that nice eitheroey_oey

Is there a home decoration (don't know the exact word) thread? Got a bit inspired by

- Thanks :)jagara
- some great decoration ideas:
https://www.qbn.com/…renderedred - This room needs serious help. Not just design either. This would drive me insane.monospaced
- Aesthetics are on point, IMO. But yeah, weird distribution of stuff...jagara
- +1 for warm lights
also is that real marble table with short columns?! LOLgrafician - Paint peeling off walls. Wtf. No window treatments. Picture leaning on window. This needs serious work.monospaced
- Lighting is a poor afterthought. Useless for any kind of practical use at night.monospaced
- What makes it cozy? Bad weather outsidedrgs
- that entire wall is wetsted
- 100% they bought that rat tail cactus and didn't grow it themselves, and it will fester and die in that corner.garbage
- This looks like a "way more money than sense" scenario. What the hell is even in that frame?garbage
- Money? Everything looks like it was dragged in from the street or from ikea. Weird.monospaced
- I'm going from the plant bro. Rat tails half that size are about $100 and given the fatness of the stems it came from a hot house.garbage
- Given the placement, they did not grow it, and probably paid a good bit for it when they saw it in the shop and flowering, and now it's gonna die in a corner..garbage
- ..of a horrible looking room. Never said they had much money, but they definitely have much less sense.garbage

Italian partner needs to get her passport renewed. Since we have a kid together, the authorities need to vouch my identity too, which kind of makes sense where any nationality claims of our crotchfruit might arise.
What does not make sense is that this requirement essentially means I can prevent my partner getting a new passport, if I don't comply.
If we'd split up acrimoniously or I was just a one night stand, she would not be able to a renewal. Crazy.
What's irritating is that Becoz Brexit, I can't simply sign a photocopy of my identity papers, so I've got to trudge along to the embassy too so I can sign documents in front of some bureaucrat.
What's going to be annoying is that I have *never* had a consistent signature, and the one in my passport is itself a poor facimile of a much older variant, from a passport I renewed in my teens, so is much warped by decades of non use. I literally sign anything I need to with a pointless wee swoosh, because fucking hell if signatures aren't a stupid form of validation.
I love Italy as a country, and its people (well, most of them), but fuck if it doesn't do itself any favours with its often paternalistic and generally over-complicating bureaucracy.
- I'm the same with signatures. Mine's really basic, shit and difficult to reproduce - especially under pressure.Fax_Benson
- When I first came to London I got security-checked at a supermarket, and had to phone up the bank to confirm my identity 'cos sigs didn't match.Nairn
- Funny to think that since we've gone with chip and pin and then contactless and now younglings repeatedly tapping their phones or watches at other electronics.Nairn
- Japanese signature much better: hand crafted wood block cut device, unique to you.shapesalad
- I've thought about laser-etching myself something like that from a nice block of wood. It's on some list I've never completed. One of many.Nairn
- Maybe I should do a side-line in counterfeiting Japanese woodblock signatures. High res scan of sig, PS, laser etch exact same thing.Nairn

Just cleaned my keyboard - baby wipes and toothpicks all the way baby! - whilst I had computer on, doing something in background.
I hit up SublimeText so that I mostly don't interfere with shit going on in the background, and here's the output.

Yisss.
Just realised that I'd quoted 3x what I thought I had on the job I'm just about to complete. It's been in the cogs for weeks nows. I forgot.
Was thinking I'd done it a little cheap, but now I'm feeling guilty.

Having a gf who recently lost her sister to cancer and obviously still dealing with grief, I find it incredible the amount of films and shows in recent years that incorporate cancer or terminal diseases to their narrative.
It's pretty much impossible to watch anything without her being constantly reminded of it.
Went for a very safe rom-com last night, both very happy with my feel-good choice until one of the main characters had to learn about her aunt's terminal diagnosis though it was completely unnecessary to the story overall.Million-Dollar Idea : an app that lets you sort through films based on topics you want to avoid.
- I know what you feel, my wife had a miscarriage a few years ago, so every movie or show that had pregnancies or babies was off limitsdmay
- Sorry to hear dmay, hope it's easier to deal with now.spl33nidoru
- Does anyone really think they have original ideas anymore? Honest question. https://www.doesthed…nb
- (not that this site is good, but it is what it is)nb
- Thanks, has the time got by we slowly learned how to deal with it, and having a baby last year helped a lot, but it never goes away completelydmay
- I hear you, these remain sensitive memories, but I'm glad you're in a better place now.spl33nidoru

- I'm 14 on QBNNBQ00
- go easy on the labeling. if all you see is histerish skateboard girl, you're not giving people room to grow. And other stuffs.pango
- she's not that hipsterish. more alternative arty and she's not like a typical skatergirl. She's really cool. Maybe I should give it a try.NBQ00
- Ask her if she’d like to ride on *your* board. Don’t call her your board-bitch!shapesalad

After 11 years in the same company, I’ve just accepted an offer for a job in a new company.
Just had a 30 min phone call with my “old” boss 20 mins ago. Luckily, he felt happy for me. We’ve become friends after all this years. I feel so weird.

the new Spotify layout... Why did they put the artist's name on the left, super tiny under the song's title like it's the least important information ??????????????????? So annoying!

‘ Those near National Priorities List Superfund sites (sites known to be contaminated with hazardous substances such as TCE) are at especially high risk of exposure. Santa Clara county, California, for example, is home not only to Silicon Valley, but 23 superfund sites – the highest concentration in the country. Google Quad Campus sits atop one such site; for several months in 2012 and 2013, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found employees of the company were inhaling unsafe levels of TCE in the form of toxic vapor rising up from the ground beneath their offices.’
‘ A 2008 peer-reviewed study in the Annals of Neurology, for example, found that TCE is “a risk factor for parkinsonism.” And a 2011 study echoed those results, finding “a six-fold increase in the risk of developing Parkinson’s in individuals exposed in the workplace to trichloroethylene (TCE).”’
