Oideaist - huge congrats! not sure if you'll see this, but here's my 2cents on 'night time' duties...exador1
- having to figure out 'who's turn it is to get up in the night to change or feed' gets old pretty fast.exador1
- what my wife suggested, and what worked for us was 'shifts'... since she was home all day with the baby, my 'shift' began the second i got home...exador1
- til 2am... so.. from 5pm til 2am, whatever needs doing, i was the one doing it...exador1
- that way my wife got time to herself, and it let her relax etc...exador1
- at 2am, i could go to sleep, and get enough rest to basically function at work the next day properly...exador1
- I can't say it'll work for you as well as it did for us, but for us it was a game-changer :)exador1

Anyone using RayBan Meta Wayfarers?
And as daily glasses?Hadn't paid them any mind until now and had actually thought of them as pretty evil (cos Meta) but am considering getting a pair.
Think they'd be decent for clips with kids, on holidays, recording life as it happens without a phone in front of my face. Also for recording sessions with sampler/scratching etc.
Got a sight test coming up and likely I'll need new prescription lens updates. And the Metas can be had 2nd hand for the same price as an expensive set of Frames from an optician so ... tempting.
- I'd rather gouge out my own eyeballs with a wooden spoon********
- What is wrong with you?grafician
- I use RayBan Wayfarers 4340.
150€. Worth it. If anything happens I can just replace parts.oey_oey - I have Myopia, -8 and -7 and also need progressive lenses. I love this model as far as I remember and it took me 35 years to buy me some.oey_oey
- I used to feel the same pockets and grafician. I wouldnt be using Meta AI etc, only the camera and audio. I can see myself using the camera a lot.microkorg
- even if its just recording my rants at idiot drivers/pedestrians... when drivingmicrokorg
- They’re cool except that when you’re not with your family you look like a total psycho********
- I've had a pair as my prescription sunglasses. They're great on road trips, days out etc if you like editing down little movies.webazoot
- I had a pair of the snapchap ones and the wider field of view of those was so much better. With raybans you don't always film what you think you are filming.webazoot
- Also, as they are a bit zoomed in, any motion while filming is twice as bad when watchingwebazoot
- Listening to audio through them actually works really well too.webazoot
- Worth saying though that they are not at all waterproof so as daily glasses - not sure.webazoot
- pockets, do you have a brand preference? I’m willing to fund your endeavor.imbecile
- I use Wayfair. My favorite piece of hardware!zaq

New laptop recommendations if you have any.
Needs to be capable of art/video/making music.
Prob 32gb Ram.
14/15"
Windows.This Dell I have has a fried motherboard. Common for this model seemingly and a ~£600 fix! Can only charge via USBC which makes the computer grind to a halt every few minutes.
Driving me insane!Been thinking of a custom build from Utopia or something. Anyone went this way rather than Dell/Lenovo etc?
- Utopia: £1900 for 15" i9, 64gb Ram, 500gb Drive 1, 1tb Drive 2, GeForce RTX 4070microkorg
- Similar spec Lenovo Legion 9i is £3485
(has a RTX4090 tho)microkorg - Lenovo? Sony? Asus?
Lol just go with Macs mangrafician - The problem is Windows man, not the hardwaregrafician
- For a lot of people it’s absolutely the hardware. Apple hardware, as good as it is in some areas, is a non starter for many others.monospaced
- I bought a Mac today, btw, so I’m not just here to argue.monospaced
- But for video, I agree, Mac hardware is the way to go. For 3D, not so much.monospaced
- Problem is, if you want a Mac to match this performance, you’re paying almost 2x more at least.monospaced
- Mac you do pay more. But in terms of Mac vs lenovo it's the same actually about £4k.
the price above is a sale price £3.5K.microkorg - As a kid and through art college it was macs. My first job introduced me to PCs and I've been PC for 20+ years. My current job for 4 years has been with Mac.microkorg
- But I use a PC as my home/art/beatmaking computer. Im more familiar with PC and don't have any sort of fondness towards the Mac way.microkorg
- But i wouldn't say no. I do realise that macs prob last longer than PCs. Been checking out what I can get mac-wise. M2 or M3 2nd hand.microkorg

is there a way to check if a Illy file was saved with "Create PDF Compatible File" option ticked?
- Open it?grafician
- open it in a text editor and look for pdf or pdf-1.x towards the top, if found then yesimbecile
- if it is 700GB, it probably was.
Alternatively, drag it into acrobat.monNom - If you open it with Ai, you would be able to change everything as is, if not, then it's not compatible file?grafician

Why do I keep thinking so many women are into me but I can't even find one to date.
It's confusing.
My coworker who is married, comes over and taps me playfully on the shoulder and wants to talk pretty frequently.
My friend at a bar I go to weekly is always hugging me and staring at me but we've hung out and the spark is not there.
Met a cool girl at a party who wanted to talk, asked me lots of questions and gave me her number. We went out for drinks a few days later and she wanted to pay, and then she tells me about her boyfriend and how it's not a good relationship, but she's trying to make it work.
My barista makes small talk.
- Women work like this ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯OBBTKN
- Maybe you should try women who are not married or do not have boyfriends ;)OBBTKN
- friendzone ≠ into youpango
- yeah 100% women :)
a. looks like you aren't used to these things.
b. gay?sted - Go out and meet people.monospaced
- Go hang out with catpower.Continuity
- Maybe they think you're gay.i_monk
- You are the backup option. Each of these women are uncertain about their relationships and are testing the waters in case things fall apart.monNom
- it’s a pretty common strategy among animals. Domestic cats often have a backup family they go visit. I’d take it as a good sign you have so much interest.monNom
- ^ women love that shit. Comparing them to domestic cats... ;-pmort_
- lol continuity!_niko
- I can confirm the cat part. And then it all suddenly makes sense.SimonFFM
- I have a friend who was always like this. He is immediately marked as a safe confidant. He thinks they're into him sometimes but nothing happens.CyBrainX
- I am totally some women's confidantbainbridge

It's been a really long time since I bothered looking at Google Analytics and first time using GA 4. Can anybody help? You used to be able to click on referrals title in this list to see where traffic to my site was coming from exactly. Am I on the BBC news, won an award for shittest site ever or on a sex offenders list in Poland??? How do I find out where I'm getting traffic from?

Met a great artist (her name is Davina) at the Art Fair in Frankfurt today. We have the same gallerist and I actually love her painting with Alf:
It's really inspiring to exchange thoughts with other artists.
- Is that a painting of an NFT below?Nairn
- No, it’s by Käpten NobbiSimonFFM
- I look at this and think 'Does Alf not need oxygen too?'webazoot
- Her chin already broke her visor.Nairn
- Imagine going to someone’s home for the first time and I they have this painting on their wall********
- She should stick with her onlyfans page.utopian
- Are you jealous? Why such comments?SimonFFM
- Are all her paintings titled,
“ich, ich und ich”futurefood - Look at Alf’s nose - that’s why women love him so muchGnash
- Who is this painting for?********
- Not jealous at all, she is just a piss poor pseudo artist. She's more like the Kim Kardashian of fine art.utopian
- @utopian Simon is happy and inspired, and you're pissing on his bonfire :-/jagara

That feeling when you run into someone you kinda know at a party and know you have mutual friends and interests but have nothing to say to each other and you feel like they kill the conversation too quickly, but then it's awkward and you question whether you're the boring one all along.
