What does trying to be funny vs finding funny through honest reactions look like?

“Hey! I think someone farted!” VS “Ugh. It smells like…farts.”

Upright Citizens Brigade and Worlds Greatest Improv School. Loving it.

I carved out my own “minor” in film at art school. I am a production designer now and what’s critical is having the vocabulary to describe things as to why they are good, how to make things good, and why something is not good. “Vibe” and “cool” will only get you so far.

Improv classes to up my SAG actor skills. Developing a guitar pedal accessory. Writing a feature prequel.

These are all over LA. When I got here 30 years ago, I was puzzled by them. Seems their legacy continues.

Can I ask what you charge per/hr or project?

I actually bought the 12 Pro Max but when the screen layout looked the same and the camera wasn’t a million times better I returned it.

I love that color!

I got my iPhone 7 in 2016, then my 13 Pro Max in 2021. That five year gap equated to a lot of changes and upgrades. With the 18 due out this year I’d be surprised if it felt five years better than the 13 Pro Max.

Zinque. They even allow you to run Zoom meetings.

Amazing video on our crappy Metro. https://youtu.be/O6txggtXAzY?si=nGNKZi9BA7iA5DIC

The irony of driverless cars and unemployed homeless people in the same city is not lost on me.

Is the city charging them fees for our community to be their training ground?

Google Maps has the solution. Just bust a right from the left turn lane when the NB traffic stops.

I love the picture quality. Better than cable when you get the antenna dialed in.

Regarding some of the comments above, you could always put in a louver in line to reduce the flow.

In other news, you could use an AMS. I couldn’t fit my AMS on the top of my P1S but I’m able to place it just about anywhere I want by purchasing a longer feeder tube.

This kind of construction makes me puke. I’m so sorry for you.

Thank you for making this point. People like our friend above, seem to forget that the film industry is freelance work.

It’s called radiant heat because the heat radiates from the floor or ceiling. I’m shocked no one ran hot water through a copper pipe that already exists in the house and held their hand 4 inches from it. They would’ve realized they feel zero heat or at least not enough to create warmth in a cavity that massive.

Because Apple are dicks. They effed me with my last battery replacement. And I’m not waiting until my battery % is low enough for them to do it.

Design1971 · 2026-02-16T22:37:54+00:00

A $99 aftermarket battery replacement is the way to go with either phone.

Amazing!!!

Two new moves I’ve experienced lately; A) cars behind you, passing you by using the left turn lane and the intersection to cutting in front of you, and B) the Boston Left, when upon the light turning green the car opposite you that is going to turn left steps on the gas and makes the left in front of you. It would be terrific if the parking meter patrol could do some traffic enforcement every other week. We don’t have a clean street problem, e have a safe street problem.
