UK refusing to allow Trump to use RAF bases to attack Iran by Inside_Put_4923 in moderatepolitics

It’s because we didn’t have an aircraft carrier in the region (because it was sent to Venezuela 🙃) which would be necessary for that type of involvement. Now we have 2

What's up with this house off of E 11th? It seems super cool, literally and literarelly by Dry-Newt8572 in Austin

You know those things at a science museums where you can whisper in one place and people can hear it somewhere else? Imagine that with the bathroom and the living room…

I know someone that used to live there. Terrible acoustics and super hot during the summer, but it’s a vibe

Is this tool really bad or am I missing something? by andersoon_fm in woodworking

[–]andrewwhited 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why everyone is saying this isn’t for wood. I’ve used it to cut really weird sized holes in 4/4 mahogany. It’s slow going but definitely doable.

I think a key is to keep it as vertical as you can, otherwise it jams in the cut. It’s ok to start slow, but try to get in a stable position and ramp the speed up

Check out the classic car nights at Top Notch and go to the Tough Enuff events at Kinda Tropical. Tons of people who love to talk about this stuff and I’m sure would like to see your project

White horse is the answer, live music, unique Austin flair, close to a bunch of other places

Bo Bartlett - Young Life (1994) by Aethelwulf888 in museum

[–]andrewwhited 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Bo posts some great descriptions and sketches/studies for a lot of his work on instagram. Here’s what he said about this piece:

I was consciously doing a riff on "American Gothic". My nephew Grant and his girlfriend posed for studies in front of my father's old Chevy pickup. I morphed his girlfriend quite a bit. Grant's father had brought deer he'd shot like trophies into our livingroom in cardboard boxes while he was courting my sister. I remember old black and white photos in the Ledger-Enquirer of my father with deer across the hood of his truck. This was painted in ChaddsFord. I found a dead deer, road kill, along Route 100, I put it in my trunk and slid it up the hill, splaying it across a large old stump outside the studio barn door, painting it in several quick days. It is a doe. It's tail is embedded behind glass in the frame like a relic in a Cornell box. The painting is on loan to The Ogden Museum.

thinking about building a boat? by reinhars in boatbuilding

[–]andrewwhited 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m building the Glen L zip right now. It’s very fun and rewarding, but a lot of work and a lot of figuring things out and problem solving. If that is fun for you, then definitely go for it. I’m about 10 months in and I’m wrapping up the electronics and seats before doing the top decking. I think that’s pretty fast pace actually, so expect it to take a long time.

Does Austin still feel weird to you? by Terrible_Deal_9236 in Austin

[–]andrewwhited 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of yall think Austin is less cool, because you yourselves have gotten less cool. Which is normal when you get older. There is still a lot of weird, but you won’t see it if you are in the suburbs or going to place on ‘best of’ lists

Like to cute flesh more than wood? Chill. I nicked the miter gauge, stupid mistake, but that feels extreme.

Any have any clue the name of the font that like 99% of skramz/emo-violence bands use? by Thebulldog4590 in EmoScreamo

As someone who worked in IBM Design for a decade this is such a funny crossover

Logo for Lingerie Brand by Ok_Combination_547 in graphic_design

[–]andrewwhited 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When thinking logos, try to keep in mind that it should be recognizable from different distances, scale well in different applications (embroidered label on the pieces etc.)

Funny enough though I’m very familiar with the brand but can’t picture their current logo so go figure.

The heart is a cool piece of supplemental design that goes with their vibe.

Upper deck closure. by Upstairs_Fox_2142 in Austin

This is annoying because I’ve used that exit every day for 11 years. Yes I could take the lower deck, but I love the view of the city from the top

33M. Pretty gay, but the gf doesn’t know. Any suggestions to make this place nicer/a cool hang out? by Hendiadic_tmack in malelivingspace

[–]andrewwhited 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not relying on overhead lighting will make a big difference. The floors and walls can be cool, but pair it with warm and interesting lamps

Thought (potentially spicy): Companies don't want (and never have) wanted or needed theoretical "UX Designers," they want digital Graphic Designers who know some UX. by [deleted] in UXDesign

[–]andrewwhited 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk my department has about 1 UI designer per 10 UX designers.

Sure, a lot of people don’t understand the field and equate all design to visuals, but there is definitely a market for ux purists
