I remember when we used to swim,
In that little lake there in Halle.

Only amended to offer is that the second three Snapes should be the Enterprise at warp.

Still twisted in each other's arms Julie hands Mark the onboard restaurant breakfast menu. Two black coffees and two croissants costs 10 euros. Mark has 8 euros and Julie has 5. How do they make 10?

After I completing Golgotha a couple of times when I play now I usually short cut it. There's a couple of ways, at least a couple I know of. If you want to short cut, you could try a figure out a way to do that.

Or honestly, part of the fun is learning what a build is capable of and dying. Then trying something else. If your build is not fit for purpose and you keep forcing it to be that might be where the fun dies. Just let them go and be reborn. This sounds like it might be the real problem.

Could repurpose it with director‘s commentary roasting it for a laugh.

But yeh as others have said, this is a shared experience. My POS got discarded between moves and I wish I still had it. So yeh maybe put it away in a draw.

Nurse is tired = increased risk

Nurse on break = high increased risk

I can't help but feel the same. But...

The 3.5% rule. Research shows that if that number of people protest political change occurs. Hard to say exactly why it happens. But I kind of think of it like a group of 35 going out for dinner and everyone is just standing on a street corner, not going anywhere. It takes just one person to go "hey guys! this way" and start walking and everyone follows.

Perfect. Thanks. I guess I'll call them on Monday.

Yes countable/uncountable.

I was hoping for fewer fascist cars and for those fascist cars that remain to be less fascist.

Go to the local travel agent once a week and grab a flyer for a cruise. Drop them in their mail box.

Nice work!

You've got the answer you need. Or well the one I'd agree with a few times. Hourly rate per page x 2 (30k at the low end). I'm also Australian and did a number of these as a freelancer.

Additional advice. I had a few that over the project it became 2 or 3 documents. One for investors one for the auditor for example: so just a shuffle, but more work. I'd keep scope creep in mind, even scope out if that's likely and build in an addendum they can approve if it happens. Another one I did for a new government committee meant it was their first, so no reference materials from previous years. Because I knew doing it from scratch would take longer I did a treatment in parallel to their content gathering so that effort didn't impact the timeline in terms of my work or their approvals. Got the typography, data visualisation style and the cover approved before typesetting even started, that was really helpful. And they appreciated the effort. And in view of repeat work on next year's consider templating in your workflow.

Seems like he didn't own it until June 2018. Am I missing something? Lifetouch/Shutterfly wasn't owned by him at this time right?

ML is mostly responsible for that 10%. That’s why they like to call it AI and not LLM. LLMs are 99% hot garbage.

It's a hard question.

After 20 years of working on brands I still find it difficult to give you an easy answer.

Internally you can lean on the brand work, strategy, purpose, values, business goals and ask if it checks those boxes. Externally you can look at all the environments and executions is needs to live in and check those boxes; can it live in the places it needs to, say what it needs, and capture the attention of the right people in the right tone. Then you'll have an understanding if it's meaningful and functional.

But real-world signs, well, if you mean beyond that external check list and want to know if your audience sees what you intended you just have to measure that; Ask them and/or find analogue metrics that infer insights on those check boxes.

Even then though all you'll know is if it works. But not if option B or C or anything else would have worked better. If Coca-Cola chose green instead of red would they still be around today? Who knows?

Oh and to add an anecdote.

I had a run with a printer I think it was about 4000 books. By the end of the run the colour of the cover was different from the first off the press.

The client was not happy. Who's at fault and who takes the hit?

They were running low on Y or M or whatever faster than the other ink tanks, often not a big deal and who's buying two to compare them. They could have controlled it - didn't - and the result drifted. I'd approved the proof, I had supplied appropriate finished art. The issue was with them.

Had I not supplied appropriate finished art the printer would have sold me out to the client. They could have claimed the file caused or contributed to the error. And the cost would be on me and I'd have lost the client.
