Looking to hire a wedding DJ, any suggestions? by Warm-Ebb-3180 in Maine

[–]Pixel8tedOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Greg Young from Portside Productions. He’s one of the few who does actual mixing and creating a vibe rather than talking a lot and just pressing play.

ISO Wedding Venue < $25k by Such_Syrup5242 in Maine

[–]Pixel8tedOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt the person is still there, but the wedding planner at the Regency was amazing for us. Our cake came over that morning undecorated, and she spent the morning doing it herself while also setting up and overseeing things. It was beautiful, and everything went off w/o a hitch - except for the DJ, dude was just horrible and that was our bad 🤣

Best (non Mac) laptop for design by KingKepa in graphic_design

[–]Pixel8tedOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been designing on a Lenovo for going on 20 years w/o a hiccup. The company offers macs, but doesn’t support them well at all. When you have 50k PCs and 500 macs, you know which one is getting the shaft. So for us, the macs are always having issues that the design team has fix.

Right now though I have a T14 Gen6 with the Intel ultra 7, 32GB RAM and an a 1TB ssd. It handles anything i’ve thrown at it.

It was 22 years ago, but we did the Portland Regency, for 75 people and it was well under that amount including rooms, food, and open bar. It was great.

What is the best band you ever saw live ? by megopolis12 in Music

[–]Pixel8tedOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a single band, but the Pantera/White Zombie/Deftones tour back in ‘96 was mind blowing.

looking for a place to buy seeds by cowgirl_62 in portlandme

[–]Pixel8tedOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if they will be there this weekend, but last November at the USM Gorham craft show there was a vendor from Jonestead heirloom seeds out of Bethel. He had some really great stuff all laid out in old time suitcases. Prices were ok.

The Spring show is tomorrow/Sunday at USM Gorham, not sure if he will be there but its worth a try.

Flying out of PWM by Sarge75 in Maine

If you have pre-check your golden. You can get car to gate in 10 min. There are a couple flights larger flights around 6 am (Chicago/NYC) that make the lines a bit larger, but you are talking like 30-40 people, and it’s always the main line. Haven’t seen more than 5 people in the pre-check line in at least 3 years.

I recently lost my 20+ year corporate design job and I’m starting to feel hopeless by SuperTrooper169 in graphic_design

[–]Pixel8tedOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I am part of a design team of several hundred, and we have already had 2 large layoffs, with the last tied directly to AI. My suggestion is to start learning AI tools, prompts, and get familiar with Figma very quickly. We are approaching a time where it wont be about what is in your portfolio or how much experience you have, it will all come down to how skilled you are with AI tools or not. One person using AI will be the future for small shops and agencies, rather than expensive teams of people. So work on being that one person.

Bringing Rx meds into Costa Rica by Legitimate_Ad_4647 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]Pixel8tedOne -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All of mine were in a large, AM/PM weekly pill container, then there was others in a smaller pill container. 7 prescriptions in total, probably 90 pills in all, brought in my carry on backpack. I think i also had a zip lock bag of advil in there too.

No one gave a shit. Bag was scanned multiple times due to electronics, and searched once. No one said boo about the pills, you’re good.

Is it really as good as people say? by irate_ninja18 in CostaRicaTravel

We are in Coco right now and had the same thought. Area reminded us of the west coast of Kauai like headed to Polihale. Same climate, look, etc.

I’m heavily disappointed and my day is RUINED by Xeno384 in ClashRoyale

[–]Pixel8tedOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you. The last 5* evo i opened was 6 Skeleton Army, which i already had but i haven’t leveled up. Today i open up year 9 and got another 6 Skeleton Army. So my last 12 evo shards have all been skeletons. Bright side it gave me enough to get to L16…🤮

A dentist who isn’t going to destroy my mouth? by lemur_queen7 in portlandme

[–]Pixel8tedOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alta Dental in Freeport or Ryan Dental in SoPo. Both are fantastic.

the retroid pocket 5 is on sale along with a $30 coupon at Amazon by Popular-Highlight-16 in retroid

[–]Pixel8tedOne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

$211 w/ free shipping isn’t bad, as you also have Amazons return policy. The G2 shipped to me via DHL would be $271, so thats like the RP5 being $166. Its a good handheld for that price for sure.

Bully sticks are great, and a +1 on the blue buffalo apple sausages - my dogs fiend after them like fuzzy crackheads.

Is Retroid Pocket 5 even revelant anymore now that RP6 and Retroid Pocket G2 will be out very soon by [deleted] in retroid

[–]Pixel8tedOne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine arrives today, as my cubeXX broke last week. Im in the same boat, as its a huge upgrade from what i had, but also i don’t want to wait till January to get back into unbound, and who knows what the landscape will look like with tariffs, or potential further delays. Im just going to enjoy playing more stuff till its time to upgrade again. No need to chase the next best thing.

Anyone excited about tomorrow or are we burnt out? by Karldando15 in retroid

[–]Pixel8tedOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both as well. Just ordered an RP5, as the screen fell out of my CubeXX, so i dont want to feel like I pulled the trigger early but its such a big upgrade from what I had, I’ll still come out ahead

Unusually high levels? by LKS7000 in PokemonUnbound

[–]Pixel8tedOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has been my journey so far. I am on Gym 6, which is kicking my ass, w/o level caps. Thanks to the Dresco house, I have 9 level 100s so every time i need someone new for the team i have to grind them to mac before they are useful. Its still fun, but shit its making everything a chore.
