Unbeknownst to me, my partner bought our daughter crafting scissors today and gave them to her to play with. Unbeknownst to my partner, my daughter had been learning about hairdressing and haircuts at nursery today, so had spent the afternoon cutting pieces of paper and spaghetti in imaginative hairdresser play.
I, busy cooking in the kitchen, deferred a couple of curious calls from my daughter in the living room, and when I finally got around to attending to her, mere minutes later, guess what the little fucker had done?
Thankfully it's only a portion of a lock, but fucking hell. I went from instant panic-rage because a whole slew of possibilities opened out in front of me, but thankfully the damage was minimal and ultimately, laughable. Just a wee portion of her hair.
Fucking hell.

Really liked the NA beers i had on our NZ trip, so i ordered some here in the states. I hope they hold up to their kiwi counterparts
- I've tried every NA i could find out there during January and believe it or not - Bud Zero resembles the most what I desire in a simple lager beer.dasohr
- What I am saying it tastes equally pissy as the regular bud, so there's little expectation.dasohr
- But always looking for recommendations, so LMK what you like!dasohr
- Athletic Brewing has a good Lite beer that i've enjoyed. Haven't tried the others yet though.capn_ron

What is a good salary for full-time lead brand designer of a startup with 20 people on staff with only 2 other designers who handle ui/ux?
Report to CEO and freelance creative director. No one working below, but basically act as own department.
- in Los Angelesbainbridge
- Not to be snarky, but for that title and experience required you'd simply expect a salary that can support an adult in LA. It's not low.monospaced
- ^ what does that mean?bainbridge
- So no UX, more like a visual designer - perhaps this site will help https://www.builtinl…whatthefunk
- What about sign on bonus, performance bonus structure, health benefit coverage/cost/compan... covers, vacay, personal day, holidays - all goes into comp...whatthefunk
- I'd say 100k but that's just a guess_niko
- At least it's not in Detroit, amirite?Continuity
- $150K easygrafician
- Series B startup at leastgrafician
- They will pay that mostly for the annual report and the new pitch deck
The rest is easy, could be anything in branding termsgrafician - They need growth and ARR terms mostly, just make it look gooodgrafician
- Just be fresher than the UI designer, that guy can take your job in an afternoongrafician
- UI designer can’t take a senior lead brand position in an afternoon. Fucking lol nonsense. Again.monospaced
- We’ve talked about this. UI UX and product designers are like production jobs. Pretty damn low lefel “design” right there.monospaced
- You ever even been to LA?monospaced

The other day my dog jumped over a large bed of rocks about 10 feet across. i thought to myself at the time, "I hope she doesn't figure out she can jump high". Well, yesterday she lept 12-15 feet over a creek then looked back at me me like "what are you waiting for?" After laughing and convincing her to come back, she made the jump with no problem. Shit.
- Hehh, you got something you can work on :)sted
- I had a rule with mine that he can't know that he can jump over the creek to the other side. Then a girl came around and I let her take him to a walk.sted
- Why do you lie on social media sted?canoe
- i let her tree squirrels and chase rabbits. she saw the squirrel in the park and the creek was just an obstacle to that desire.imbecile
- she loves to sniff and follow a scent, i think it'd be great if we could learn to scent trackimbecile
- When they returned, I was surprised how satisfied and happy Bosco was. I thought I lost him. The next day the fucker jumped :| so I found out what happened.sted
- @canoe what?sted
- Squirrels are fun if you are not afraid that she is going to run away :) I love it when mine just sits by the tree and looks at me as if I can help him fly upsted
- ugh ok i got it, its the girl. it's hard to believe that there are people who have lives right? :D but don't worry, one day someone will love you too or not.sted

Last week I was contacted to help develop a pretty interesting project involving an app, fine art gallery and bar. It turns out that they will have a bonafide speakeasy with a secret door.
"Ya know, like in a James Bond movie," she said with a French accent.
Apparently it's an invite-only private club. Gotta know the password. In this case the password is a logo printed on the spine of a book. So I've been working on some illuminati inspired ideas for one direction :-)
- fun!Gnash
- Almost a decade ago I had the opportunity to design an app where the users had to point the cam on a specific object to get authorized.sted
- AR and object recognition was new at that time on mobile so it was a pain in the arsche, we ended up doing the heavy work on the server side :)sted
- Pioneer!canoe
- eh it was mostly like a pained body welded from all sides that is just rolling but nobody knows for how long. this seems a little more exciting and simpler :)sted

I placed $1k on a bet in which I claim that most of the engagement rates we see in relation to tiktok is fake and this will be revealed in a maximum of 3 years.
- fake how? as in tiktok is inflating or engagement is coming from 3 IPs or what?canoe
- don't know much about tiktok personally or professionallycanoe
- integrity and authenticity numbers, spam accounts and their removals, and fake engagement numbers examined over several years.sted
- bought the data, did the reading. social media managers can lick my balls again, and fuck tiktok.sted
- bought the data? from where?hotroddy
- https://www.business…sted
- and read here:
https://www.tiktok.c…sted - You knew you lost the moment you placed the bet. Even Linkedin has better numbers not to mention the new twittergrafician
- and yes, Elon's tweets are privileged and showing up in all our feeds like that U2 album on apple music :))grafician
- and yes, tiktok has real numbers, made in China ofcgrafician
- You're shorting TikTok?drgs
- Eh one of the reasons why I'm sure that they are fraudulent is because ByteDance axed its investment arm and plans for an IPO.sted
- Of course they're suspect. How else would a nation state use such an asset to sway the actions and opinions of citizens in another nation state?Nairn

4 days for replacing the screen in my phone.
On monday, the smart guy, put on a broken glass screen on it.
"Ey, this is broken, man..."
"No, no broken, it's glue"
"No glue, it's broken"
"Aww... I see, yes, is broken... You can get it now for €10 less..."
"No, put on it a new shinny screen, man, I'm paying for this"
"Ok, no problem"
Remember the image of Eastwood in Gran Torino, talking to Asians, that's how I saw myself, a Basque talking to a Pakistani.
LOL.- Going to buy a sixpack and take a photo of myself "clint-alike" on the porch... For the mugs threadOBBTKN

I've had the worst luck with developers. Is it just me?
I'll spare you the graveyard of details. But for sure I pay their rate and don't ask for ridiculous deadlines. "I set them up for success!"
I think the only solution is to work with a local dev house. For now though, l have a project that needs to start. Another crap shoot.
- Devs from India? Did'nt worked with one from there in 15 years. Follow the locals route if you can. Good luck!!OBBTKN
- Seems like locals are either, too agency or too 90scanoe
- Current situation. 2 weeks late on a site an American ghosted on while he was 80% finished. Then hoodwinked by a stateside agency believing devs were local...canoe
- Slacking with the project manager who never did a click through, so now I'm managing her, and the site is no where near being done.canoe
- The icing on the cake. We were on a project budget, but got a call that my card was maxed out, overcharged (and refunded) 60% of the original budget.canoe
- All of this was American made to answer your questions OBBTKN.canoe
- That sounds like a lot of shit, I could already give you 1-2 coders who will help you finish it, well what the heck maybe even i could help you out.sted
- but as I see it's too late.
refunded as the the project failed and you're fckd?sted - The only resource I use from India vectorizes logos and stuff like that.canoe
- sted I'm totally looking for quality devs. Not sure how to contact you. I already got an anonymous email from I figured a QBNer. Creepy shit.canoe
- Not about this. It was last year. "From a client I pissed off." Email had broken english. The fake was painfully obvious.canoe
- haha I don't do things like that :D obviously I'm not going to jump on it without any details. but let's see what it is and how I can help.sted
- put the name from the url on my profile page before the @. but if thats easier for you I can drop a line to the outside if that still works :)sted
- I see you like to complain more than to act :)sted
- Why did you say that I like to complain more than act? I have no idea how to contact you!canoe
- lol, idk why is it complicated. there is an url on my profile page here: https://www.qbn.com/… put the david before the@ and you got my email address.sted
- i also offered to send you an email to your "outside" address if that's still active. what i got from the qbn archives... :)sted

As I left Sainsbury's earlier this evening, my daughter was fast asleep in one arm, and i had a heavy bag of shopping in the other. A few steps outside the store, I see a pack on the floor that I get the impression has just been dropped. I see a way in front of me two trundling ladies with multiple overstuffed bags of shopping, which look very much like might've accidentally spilt some...
...as heavily overwearied as I am by dead-weight sleeping child and shopping, our hero bends down and picks up from the floor a fresh-looking multipack of cheesestrings. I look up, and see the two women continuing to trundle on, so march onwards. I eventually catch up with them and, as much exasperated as worrying them with my intrusion, I ask if they've dropped a packet of seemingly fresh-looking cheesestrings.
Gentle people, they had not. They reacted as any normal person might, confronted with this non-sensical proposition. I was just a sweaty nutter waving a bag of over-processed milk product at their gentle conduct into the night.
Given I had no free hands, and was near home, I sallied on, Cheesestrings in hand, to deal with later.
Pre-amble over: I have a multi-pack of cheesestrings I found on the floor outside a local supermarket. Dear people of QBN, are they ok to eat? Not for the kid, of course. For me.

- I'm thinking: When I'm walking through the post-apocalyptic brexit wasteland with my daughter in six years, I'll look back on this and think "Shoulda ate 'em".Nairn

Watch Jackie and Shadow tough it out at Big Bear Mountain right now. Bald eagles are built for this shit but damn it’s crazy up there. Blizzard warnings in all SoCal mountains this weekend.

I woke up anxious to know what happened at the end... Nairn, are you okay? Did you eat the cheese at the end?

I observe young people have a somewhat healthier relationship with their phones than a few years ago.
Having a conversation with a 19-year old in 2010 was a bit of a pain. Like, you felt you had 40% of their attention.
I've been pleasantly surprised lately, with people the same age being noticeably more focused and less phone obsessed. And a friend of mine's 15-year old son described looking at your phone all the time as being "so cringe" (yes, Danish teenagers say "cringe" now).
A good development, IMO
- sounds like your friends are good parentsinteliboy
- why is it cringe?sofas
- Cringe when you're with someone IRL, but on your phone (rude)jagara
- ^ Us Gen-Xers could have told you that.Continuity
- Would a better definition be that the phone user is doing their thing and the cringe feeler is embaressed to to talk to the phone user about their judgement?sofas
