People that worship athletes and celebrities, enough already.
- Yeplemmy_k
- yes, the amount of leeway athletes get, simply for being good at a sport is insanity.ben_
- if you play sports you can't help but appreciate the superhuman skill and effort these guys display. also gambling._niko
- Says the guy who loves Hillary Clinton and Commi Bernie Sanders :/Hayoth
- Says the guy who still uses the word commiepango
- People that worship.ApeRobot
- Celebretariansjaylarson
- "commi"? wow this place really is full of old people.inteliboy
- Is Mr. T still considered a celebrity? If yes, can I still worship him?misterhow
- Has anyone shed tears for the death of someone they didn’t know on a personal level?hotroddy
- I did this week.HijoDMaite
- kobe? is there anyone else you'd cry for?hotroddy
- I don’t know. I can’t think of anyoneHijoDMaite
- just in movies or books_niko
- Don't forget artists!nb
- forget artists! you shouldn't obsess nor cry over themhotroddy
- @niko, I can completely appreciate how good they are at what they do. My comment was more for the people who worship them despite the scummy shit many of themben_
- do. Michael Vick comes to mind, but there are plenty examples. It's the same for any profession really. I don't discriminate. worshiping anyone is weird.ben_
- Not sure worship is the right word, maybe when you’re a young kid, but as you get older it’s not a fascination or appreciation._niko
- *more a fascination or appreciation. For example I’m totally fixated on ovechkin and his quest for not only 700 goals but the insane chance that he might catch_niko
- ...Wayne Gretzky for the all time record. Which, playing in this day and age is absolutely bonkers that he’s within striking distance._niko
- ^ this is part of what he means by worship :)Maaku

OTT child's cursive, as more frequently seen on continental Europe.
Someone bought this infant's book for my daughter, which was very sweet of them:
However it's not 'muvola' as my British eye reads, it's 'nuvola', which is handy because 'muvola' isn't a word in Italian.
Every fucking n in the book is written like an m and it irritates the living shit out of me every time I see it. It's a book to teach kids how to enjoy books and, ultimately, read - what good is it screwing with letters like that?
- Yup, I learned cursive like that in Portugal
https://i.pinimg.com…dmay - ^ That image is from Brazil, and it's the "m" but you get the pointdmay
- That is a cursive n, but should not be using both humps to begin a wordGnash
- I read an N. An M would have another line.Bennn
- its the V that cause me problemBennn
- the curve going into the "n" should be tiny, like on EVERY OTHER LETTER on the title theremonospaced
- Anyone learn with Danelion? The cursive used to have n with 2 humps, ms with 3. Not helpful with learningjaylarson
- https://en.wikipedia…jaylarson
- I definitely learned that one, jay. But this is ... different. The curve isn't leading in correctly and is confusing on the book cover.monospaced
- i read it as mdrgs
- n, and yes, hard to read if you learned script in german/english countries...also other letters differ in how they are told in script: r, s, tuan
- I learned this way of writing cursive (French, so-called Écriture A) ... m has two humps, n has one:
https://fr.wikipedia…Continuity - The cursive I learned in Canada has double for n, triple for m.i_monk
- Yup, I learned cursive like that in Portugal

'Bone broth'.
It's fucking stock, you cunting ignorant hipster cretins.
- we live in a SOCIETY!renderedred
- Bone broth and stock are most definitely not the same things. Not sure why you would blame ignorant hipsters considering the difference is ancient.monospaced
- Unless you're just not happy with people using the word "broth" at all, in which case I'm not sure there's anything to complain about.monospaced
- Not same things, are they?
https://www.thechopp…Continuity - https://www.healthli…Continuity
- Let me summarise it for you:
Broth: made from meat.
Stock: made from bones.
'Bone broth': over-priced stock named to make NYC suckers pay more for it.Continuity - Yet there are broths made without meat and stocks made with bones. Of course there’s a difference.monospaced
- And it wasn’t invented and it has nothing to do with nyc restaurants or prices.monospaced
- Your articles even go on to describe the differences in detail. Thanks for making my argument :)monospaced
- hipsters are still a thing?inteliboy
- or just young people who don't dress like old people?inteliboy
- This post reminds me of the Punches For: "Y'all" – ignorant AFcanoe
- Boys. BOYS! This discussion belongs in Stock of the Day.********
- Yeah, where's the outrage coming from? I thought the difference is designation was simply bone broths are fattier and more gelatinous, stocks are thinner?garbage
- Also had no idea that "bone broth" was a hip term. I remember my grandmother calling it that when I was a kid.garbage
- Stocks require a shitload of gelatine from collagen, so that when they're reduced in sauces, they give the sauces body without a thickening agent.Continuity
- And that you get ONLY from bones. Also known as a bone broth.monospaced
- @continuity Agreed. I grew up being told bone broth was a fattier base with more body after you cooked out most of the liquid and were left with fatty goodness.garbage
- A bone broth used the carcass. Stock was more of making a roux and was artificially thickened by tossing in minced chicken fat and some corn starch.garbage
- Also don't knock it, but pigeon bone broth is.. kind of amazing. We should really have a cooking challenge thread.garbage
- I think I could best sum it up by saying I don't really give two fucks about nomenclature, but if friends at a dinner party are fucking things up..garbage
- ..in the kitchen I find the most polite way to hand them a cold drink and steer them away from the cutting board. But in a loving way.garbage
- If you're using a roux to make stock, you're doing it wrong. A proper stock is made using joint bones (beef, veal) and carcasses (poultry) only, along with ...Continuity
- ... aromatics (veg, herbs, wine depending on the stock).

- I watched an episode of Food Wishes last night where Chef John had the same complaint :)Nairn
- I made a chicken bone broth last night. I can call it that, because that's what it was. You can call it stock, but that's up to you. It was bone broth.monospaced

Vimeo.
It's reducing the 1080p file I'm uploading to a miserable 360p sack of shit, no matter how many times I replace it.
Fuck you. Cunt.
- Isn't that just a temporary resolution when uploaded before it converse the porper hi-res version?NBQ00
- *convertsNBQ00
- Maybe, I don't know. But after five tries, it finally got there. Ugh.Continuity
- sounds like user error, Vimeo still sucks though, I quit using them.GuyFawkes
- Did this ever work out? I wonder if it just took a long time before the HD version converted.CyBrainX
- Nah, it worked out ... it was like NBQ said, it was just a temp resolution.Continuity

Royal Mail.
Sent a package earlier this week to Jersey - usually they get there in a day or two.
As of now, ficve days later, the fucker's still sat in a depot in East London.
Chasing it up they're trying to claim that Jersey is International and I paid for the wrong service. Well fuck me. A) I didn't choose the service, one of your employees in the Post Office did; and B) Jersey isn't considered 'international' - it even says as much on your own website.
They won't expedite the delivery and are telling me it'll take up to 10 days to get there, which is leaving my client fuming as she needed these yesterday.
You dun fucked up - jump to it and unfuck it, rather than burying it in even more fuck, you fucks.
- I'm really boggled by their attitude - they recognise the problem's at their end.. but aren't offering to sort it out. It's just.. nngh.Nairn
- This after spending £25 to get a letter delivered before 9am on a Saturday last week. They tried delivering at 6am, which client was fast asleep.Nairn
- Apparently they're not supposed to attempt delivery before 7am, so...
Bunch of fucker.Nairn - Thanks, Brexit!deadsperm
- You should call Bergerac.
(I realise this reference is probably way to ancient for most of the young hip cats that hang out here)Morning_star - lol @ BergeracFax_Benson
- maybe not too late to though
https://www.bbc.co.u…Fax_Benson - Clients need to get on board with using proper courier services. Gov post couldn’t care less where your package is. Ever.ben_
- Actually, Royal Mail's usually very good - I only use other companies during Christmas. Cost diff for UPS to Jersey's about treble, i think.Nairn
- Yeah same with canada post... good till they’re not. And it’s always a really inconvenient time when they’re not.ben_
- Hi mate, thanks for taking the top spot. But Royal Mail™ and the Post Office® are two separate companies. Neither of them are affiliated with Her Majesty.Khurram
- Canada Post are ]worse. Trust me. They tell me logistically they have to deal with a country 100* the size and 1/3rd of the population, but that's no excuse!Khurram

The virtue signaling actors at the Oscars or awards show. It’s now like every actor has a political, environmental, identity & gender issue to express during their speech.
The most annoying I found Natalie Portman who was wearing a dress with all female directors names on it that weren’t nominated by the Oscars. As if it’s now only about gender and not the work or quality of the work itself.
So much activism during awards shows by these actors that I can’t take serious.
Maybe Ricky Gervais was right after all.
- If they have followers and are saying something legit, then good. But actors are just people who say lines smarter people write. Celebrities are useless.********
- It's bizarre that people watch award shows in the first place.********
- People vote for movies they haven't even seen. Winning an Oscar means nothing besides it was advertised a lot.********
- I'll preface this by saying that an Oscar win is not a seal of quality to me.
But do you really believe that the majority of voters haven't seen the movies?deadsperm - And does winning an Oscar not mean anything to general public and therefore the commercial success of a movie?
Think about it.deadsperm - Also, actors do not only say lines written by smarter people.
Think about it, again.deadsperm - Conflicting. There was a time when all their speeches were self-aggrandizing bullshit. I guess they're damned if they do/don't.ben_
- it should be "thank you, we're making ludicrous amounts of money to play dressup and make-believe, we're lucky as fucking hell and deserve none of it"_niko
- Who deserves the money the studios are making with movies? Do you think it should be equally distributed among all those that take part in the making of movies?deadsperm
- People who design the sets or lighting work way longer and harder than the actors. There's no reason to pay actors millions.********
- As with sports, there's always someone higher making more money and putting less effort. It's their names selling the movies/shoes.deadsperm
- Ya'lls just mad that "putting colors in shapes" doesn't make that much $$$.
Actors & athletes are one of the few professions where the "worker" gets the cheese.deadsperm - I don't think this is about set designers being exploited but about actors getting more than what you think they deserve.deadsperm
- Its never about movie executives getting paid too much. It's about the actors, because they are famous, and that's what sells movies.deadsperm
- Yes, but the actors work less than everyone else. But they are in demand so the price always goes up.********
- If they have followers and are saying something legit, then good. But actors are just people who say lines smarter people write. Celebrities are useless.

Me.
I just muscle-memoried "Save to web" on a 1.3gb two-layer PSD, on a machine that's not in any way set up for Photoshop work.
*waits
- might as well just force quit, will take less time to build the file from scratch.ben_
- haha ben_niko
- Best thing to do is save a jpg, open jpg and save for webHayoth
- That hurts. I think Photoshop has a limit on how monstrous a file that export window can process but it takes forever before giving up.CyBrainX
- Or wait ‘till you are dead, reincarnate, come of age, attend design school and then restart the file. By then adobe might not be so full of bugs as well.ben_
- CMD + .
didn't work?jaylarson - It might even be a longer wait than waiting for Media Encoder.CyBrainX
- Has it saved yet?ben_

Apple. I hate their texting logic.
Just sent someone a text saying "To Ohio!".
It was uspposed to say "Yoohoo!".
Bemused by this, I've let it go unclarified and am curious to know how the recipient will respond.
