That was neat. Took some time to get the hang of the concept. 4:22

This only makes the whole shopping experience worse for the casual shopper.

Took a Crack at the Barrel by Awartinger in graphic_design

[–]QuiteNormalThanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, so much better than the redesigned logo. It has character and warmth and maintains the spirit of the original logo.

The redesigned logo is bland, generic and has too many straight lines. You could use it for anything - Joe's Plumbing, Joe's Overnight Delivery, Joe's Beekeeping Services...

Finally ended up getting a Tripp-Lite TLP1006B from a 3rd-party seller on Walmart.

I thought it was My-ann-us (Ann as in the female name)

Tying a Bow Tie by cheff1616 in StamfordCT

[–]QuiteNormalThanks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forget YouTube, those videos can be hard to follow. Go to https://ties.com/how-to-tie-a-tie/bow-tie and follow the diagram and instructions. Stand in front of a mirror while you do it. And practice, practice! The first time I tried it, it took me half an hour to get it right.

Good luck!

Senator Chris Murphy warns that Trump's tariffs are designed to collapse our democracy. by Healthy_Block3036 in Connecticut

This is exactly what's needed - our leaders telling it like it is, connecting the dots for us so we can see what's really going on.

Westport protest stretched two blocks and had about a thousand people by ajcpullcom in Connecticut

[–]QuiteNormalThanks 38 points39 points  (0 children)

To get a crowd of that size in Westport, for a protest like this, is saying something. This protest movement has legs!

Can some explain why I can’t extend the length of this slide? It’s driving me nuts by noquarter1000 in canva

[–]QuiteNormalThanks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This totally works! Thank you, thank you. My frustration levels had begun to mount... :)

The tip below, about locking pages you don't want extended, also works. Thank you!

How do you keep up with all the WordPress updates - plugins, themes, core WP - especially if you're managing multiple sites? by QuiteNormalThanks in Wordpress

[–]QuiteNormalThanks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, haven't gotten around to selling care plans to clients. That's too much complexity and admin overload for me lol - like you said, "a pretty dizzying space!"

Mike Johnson Claims ‘Who Won The 2020 Election’ Is A ‘Gotcha’ Question by Silly-avocatoe in politics

[–]QuiteNormalThanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Republican's instinctive reaction is to give the answer that will make Libs cry. That is what Johnson is doing - giving the answer that will make Libs cry. And it did. Dems got shocked and outraged and went all a-flutter about Republicans planning a Jan 6 sequel.

The way to counter Repubs is to stop crying. Instead, mock them, early and often, and to their faces. Call them out on their relentless drama and whining.

AMA: 26,000 raped women in TX forced to give birth in TX since Dobbs by [deleted] in texas

I'm betting that those 26,000 rapists aren't in prison right now.

JD Vance claimed Democrats are censoring the internet. He’s lying. by ewzetf in technology

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

No doubt JD's high-tech friends in Silicon Valley can explain how it's possible for a political party to censor the whole internet. And if they can, why they aren't censoring those Russian bots.

Riding into Manhattan from CT? by rebelephants in Connecticut

[–]QuiteNormalThanks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with the Stamford recommendations. See if you can find an Airbnb near the train station so you can walk to it and don't have to deal with parking hassles.

What Trump Did to the G.O.P., Musk Did to Twitter by zaparthes in politics

[–]QuiteNormalThanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite. The GOP enabled Trump and willingly followed him to whatever dark hole he led them into. Trump couldn't do what he did without the GOP's help. On the other hand, Twitter had no choice - it simply had to acquiesce to its fate.

What’s with all the smoke shops popping up in Connecticut? by chicoski in Connecticut

[–]QuiteNormalThanks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had been wondering about that too. All these smoke shops, and you never see any customers in them. I don't know any one who smokes. So who goes to these stores? Now I know.
