How do you find QBN threads that you don’t know they exist?
I use Google to find the ones I know of faster.
- The filter
https://www.qbn.com/…PhanLo - Yep the filter or if using QBN Pro use the handy search assistant, just say 'Hey QBN' to your device.fadein11

a wee stone fossil (?) found on the beach at Arbroath, anyone recognise what it might be?
- That’s cool :)Gnash
- It's a Cthulhuian tick! Smash it with a hammer, quick!Nairn
- fossilized bug?pango
- looks similar to shapes you'd see in a trilobite fossil, but that's the best I can guess https://en.wikipedia…sarahfailin

Some cunt a block or so away, out back where it's hard to access, has started playing shit loud music from their car.
I dearly want a drone to drop a few eggs on them. Or, in future, perhaps I could use a 'Call-Airstrike' app service where I can pay a local independent operator, all Uber-like, to send out a drone and so the same.
- well, i have no idea what's going on, but the music stopped and now there's the smell of burning plastic coming from there, and locals popping heads out of...Nairn
- ..their windows to see what's going on. Motherfucker. And now, sirens. Brilliant. My one day this week to sit at home, alone, and enjoy Doing Nothing.Nairn
- investigate and report!imbecile

Felt sick this morning, but I'm out of covid tests.
No cough, but completely knocked out.
Spent first half of the day arguing with garbage something about flaccid penis and full mouth teeth extraction -- I blame the fever.
Slept the rest of the day.Discuss

Has anyone been to Positano (Italy)? Is it worth the hype?
I know it’s trendy amongst influencers but it does look pretty.
Any other recommendations around there and Amalfi coast, hotels?
- Stay a ways up the coast from Positano. Plenty of quiet spots. Take a boat or car or motorbike to Positano for the day.nb
- Positano is packed with tourists and influencers and the people who have been influenced by them. Boring people to be around.nb
- Not since the 80s, it was nice thenGnash
- Be more original and go to Albania, to around here: https://goo.gl/maps/…shapesalad
- Hire a car from Tirana. On the way, stop for roast lamb at one of the restaurants along the coast https://goo.gl/maps/…shapesalad
- Visit the blue eye https://goo.gl/maps/…shapesalad
- And spend a day in Gjirokastra https://goo.gl/maps/…shapesalad
- Some excellent lunch spots in Gjirokastra, amazing beautiful little place, historic. Not full of plastic duck lip influencers.shapesalad
- One of my most memorable vacations was a trip around Albania their one train to Montenegro, around to Kotor (stunning) and up through Croatia to Mostar.shapesalad
- no visit to albiana is complete without visiting all 750,000 of the concrete bunkers they built in the good ol' daysGnash

A week of 15 hour days as I continue to cover another job on top of my own (since April last year), on a project I told them needed 3 weeks rather than the 1 I got, resulting in a decompression migraine on Sunday morning...
Great resignation what?

anyone else watching prehistoric planet? i can't tell if i've become an old person stuck in their beliefs or if littlefoot having inflatable neck titties is genuinely ridiculous
- ribbed for your pleasurefadein11
- Prehistoric Planet makes a great advancement for pop paleontology.
Your problem is not age but interest in the matter. Your reference is The Land Before Time...palimpsest - ... try looking at this if you do care:

The liter of gasoline at €2.15!!
No comment!
* Thank god we barely use cars, and in any case, we use the little Citroën...
- Mm, I don't own a car and don't really drive very much, but everything I consume is brought to me via transport, which obviously has an impact on things.Nairn
- Good. Less people will use cars if not really necessary = good for the air and planet.NBQ00
- Yes, here, everything is road transported, using trucks, and and have gone up a lot, but if you also have to use 2 cars per family every day...OBBTKN
- I wouldn't even want to imagine it!OBBTKN

Some moron from an accounts department of a film production house sent out a last invoice request to ALL their suppliers, including me, on an open To: email list, like a fucking muppet, so I've been receiving invoices not meant for me. I made the mistake of Replying To All: to warn people to be careful what they send, so now my inbox is getting pinged by a multitude of out of office responses and email invalid warnings and I've got at least two threads of echoing bouncebacks talking amongst themselves.
I only bothered responding because I saw a few interesting companies listed, so figured a very minor good deed might make my tiny little concern noticed by companies who might be interested in my services down the line.
It was only ahlf way through this mess that I realised that my sending an email out to x hundred To's: might fuck my Spam status :\
.
Also, very interesting to see who these company have used and also how temporary account/business structures are for businesses working in film. 'Hollywood accounting' indeed.
- that kind of noob mistake violate ndas? but he prob. won't get in trouble and do the same next time.uan

My wife loves Bill Burr (so do I... hard not to). He's doing a show at Fenway in August and I'd love to take her... but FFS, BILL... min $120 for rooftop seats that are nearly a quarter mile from the stage? I want to say 'smh'... but... I really want to take her...
- See him in a different city?nb
- nothing else nearby :( and seeing him @ Fenway's part of the drawPonyBoy
- Well that’s why the tix are more expensivenb
- Worth it, I think. Get a hot dog instead of going for dinner and you'll be close to even.monNom
- Get her to a nice dinner place, watch the show on YT... 120 bucks to watch a comedian?OBBTKN
- Fuck that, he's good but that is too much $$$babydick_
- I saw him at Madison Square Garden and I was shocked at how much funnier it was in person. Comedians on TV just ain’t the samenb
- And I thought MSG would be too big for a comedian but as it turns out, laughing in a room along with a few thousand other people is an amazing feelingnb
- ^ couldn't agree more! Everything is better in a packed theatre but the difference between TV and live comedy is huge.MrT
- I spent a fair few $ seeing Bill Burr in Aus a few years ago, his bit likeneing Sydney to a dull Sacramento was worth the ticket price alone.MrT
- $120 per tricket LOLutopian
- If you're both into it then do it. You'll end up spending that or more on a few dinner dates anyway. Might as well spend it on something you both enjoy. ;)sea_sea
- I used that same logic on her earlier this evening & think I have her convinced, C’s. I’m probably going to drop $400+ and get more ‘respectable’ seatsPonyBoy
- Omg... the fucking fees... $65 service fee and an $8 fulfillment fee... haha... gonna think this through a bitPonyBoy
- Y'all might as well go all in at this point! Lolsea_sea
- There nothing better than being in a packed venue surrounded by people almost pissing themselves. Bill Burr is one of the bestIanbolton
- $65 fees per ticket?!? Fuckersnb
- maybe he's a secret QBNer and will send you compsdee-dubs
- I'm Bill Burrbabydick_
- Did ya gettum?sea_sea
- I held back and didn’t buy (yet)... it’s really hard to part with what will be about $700 for two people for one night of comedy...still have time to change my mindPonyBoy

I left facebook 10 years ago. Left instagram 3 years ago. Never had a twitter account. Abandoned Tumblr. Never gave af bout B e h a n c e. D r i b b b le is he only up-to-date thing I got. Oh, and a quite solid LinkedIn account, cause jobs, you know...
However, hesitant about trying tiktok.
Oh mighty Oracle, what should I do?

*** Lately, I've been offered quite interesting positions, and honestly, I feel I should have just had a 30 min coffee with them. Yup, signs you're getting old... Sure that you old fucks know what I'm talking bout.
It's almost like the mere fact of having to bond and gesticulate and connect, and think, and blhaaargh. with someone I don't even KNOW through a Zoom call, keeps on and on absolutely diluting my energy.
Is there any strategy, hint, trick, sorcery, to avoid feeling such an old Clint E. in Gran Torino every single time?
- Had an interview couple months ago with some HR kid that went straight "WOW, I wasn't even born" when I mentioned my years of experience.maquito

I wonder if package delivery people remember their clientele by name
I get a few packages delivered by DHL, and its always the same guy, I'll bet he goes "this guy again?" every time he sees my name
- Our UPS delivery is impeccable because my neighbors give the driver a Christmas bonus every year. FedEx is awful because that guy gets nothing. Shrug.nb
- One of my delivery drivers regularly honks his horn and waves at me manically when he passes by me in the street. He was a bit put out last year..Nairn
- ..when I asked what his name was. Apparently I was suppsoed to psychically intuit it when he started delivering to me years ago.Nairn
- I got deliveries almost daily, I know a few of them by nameYakuZoku
- DHL has started offering package lockers in 7- Eleven stores. You get a text with some code you punch in, it opens and you take your package.drgs
- I might never see my DHL guy again, but he is still the one who will be delivering the packages to the locker machine.drgs

4 years of undergrad, 4 years of postgrad, and my task today was to film a woman feeding a carrot to a horse.
