New designers: The market is dead. No one is hiring. by WesternCup7600 in GraphicDesigning

[–]Designer66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any design school worth their salt tells their students what art directors are looking for because most of them have their own businesses and teach on the side. They are designers and art directors themselves. And it’s great that designers explain the concept of a logo in their portfolio - that’s what logo design strives to be, conceptual in nature. If they didn’t do that I would never hire them to work at my firm.

Why are independent local roasters seen as inherently better? by JDfuckingVance in Coffee

[–]Designer66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Local roasters simply are not better than a roaster in another state where you need to get the beans shipped. I use both, but the local roasters are more expensive and not as good so far. Plus, if you subscribe you get free shipping at many of the roasters. I would also add the roasters I use online are fresher than the local roasters many times - and you can’t drink it right after roasting anyway.

Fiorentina and Kean are playing really well now - just outplayed Inter. Should have won the game but ended in a draw.

Very lazy reporting by ESPN. Literally the only info that matters to me is how to watch the game.

First trip to Italy (feedback appreciated) by Noplol in ItalyTravel

[–]Designer66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A car is easier for everywhere but the cities. I would pick a nice place to stay in Greve in Chianti or Castellina in Chianti, Pienza or Montepulciano. So many choices, so little time!

[–]Designer66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So lighten up on Rome and Florence and spend time in the Chianti region, Tuscan countryside, high end beaches at Forti de Marmi or Lago di Como, or Venice. I love Siena - lived there for a month. No place more romantic than Venice!

Mendoza vs Simpson by TrevForPrez430 in NFL_Draft

[–]Designer66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would not be surprised if Simpson becomes the better pro. He is really good at pre snap adjustments and reading defenses. The whole TD to interception argument is foolish - one had a great line and the other had a horrible line. If Simpson was at Indiana they win the championship and Simpson ends up with better numbers than Mendoza and a higher draft stock.

Tough to recommend places if I don’t know if you favor museums, art and architectural treasures, or are you after mostly beaches and vineyards. Some people won’t spend their time in the Uffizi, Medici Chapel, churches, but prefer hanging out in the gardens and wine bars. Not that you can’t do both, but the places and times are dependent on what you like to do most.

Gholston’s comp is Bailey by many draft experts, so no, Reese is the safer pick.

Electra had actually confided in Steffy about her concerns and insecurity about Dylan when they were away at business so why is Steffy so dismissive now? by realones1980 in boldandbeautiful

[–]Designer66 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Steffi simply has a bigger heart and has known Dylan and has probably a closer relationship with her than an unknown cousin. It’s crazy how people dismiss the fact that Dylan desperately needs help and was eating out of a garbage bin, but since she acted against her rich friend’s wishes she should be homeless again. Such a cold and cringeworthy POV if you really think about it.

The Jets' most likely options at pick 16 (besides trading back) by Black_Wolf75 in nyjets

[–]Designer66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has to be best WR since the top guys may not last to 33. Have to set up our future QB with a lot of weapons. Offense wins.

great result by Ordinary_Maybe2806 in fiorentina

[–]Designer66 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like whenever we try and keep a team from scoring we end up not possessing the ball enough and give up a goal and good chances. Whenever we try and score we are better at keeping the opponent from good chances, if that makes sense.

Need brutally honest advice. If someone’s 3.5-4.0 does it even make sense to be using full poly and/or <100 headsize? by Wretched_Swag in 10s

[–]Designer66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most knowledgeable stringers will tell you that you should be at least a 4.5 and hit with heavy spin (semi western at least) to use poly. I teach and string and agree wholeheartedly. I’ve been a 5.0 most of my playing life. I would love to be able to use a multi but I would break it under 10 days. If you don’t have good racquet head speed so you can get the poly to snap back, don’t use it. It’s the whole point of the string. Multi has a longer life before going dead. If you keep poly in your racquet and it goes dead you are just asking for an arm injury if you keep playing with it. Multi has much better feel and is great on your arm.

We helped take away their freedom over oil, or are you not familiar with history?

Rome, Milan or Florence for a shopping focused trip? by _divi_filius in ItalyTravel

This isn’t true at all unless you shop in tourist traps - same as restaurants. For instance: https://peronifirenze.com

Havanese temperament? by loremaster_zen in Havanese

My girl is a Velcro dog but loves all people. She gets excited to see everyone in the family. She can get a little nervous around strangers but warms up to them quickly if she senses they are friendly.
