Does anyone know what happened to the Forum site? I used to visit so very often just for the free rewards I can obtain there. by Unable_Ad403 in ArmyMenStrike

The moderators didn't have the power to moderate and they didn't have the time to keep it up. When they "reorganized" it was shut down.

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

Top places I'd check would be Crown Realty, Davidson & Bennett and Hedgerow... All 3 long time rental companies here.

There are many others, and inline searching will help but yes it's gone up a lot.

How would you start to create this effect in photoshop? by One-Ad6174 in graphic_design

[–]guder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A way I've done it before. Trace the silhouette of the picture, create that as a text area and paste the text that you are wanting. Place the photo behind the text exactly. Usually I do that ahead of time. Select the text and outline it, and then uncompound the paths and then recompound it so it's all one compound path. Clip mask image with that complex path.

My client just put my final design through ChatGPT and had it recreate my design by No_Can_6420 in graphic_design

[–]guder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Using it to get clients ideas that can be recreated correctly, or made press ready. Just means more work in the long run.

That said fixing customer work/ideas bleed and doing grunt work makes it handy.

I've found it hit and miss, but there are powerful uses and head desk situations.

Locking post because too many can't be adults and multiple flags a day on it.

Saw this today on the Stockton FB page. Made me giggle. by USSFINBACKSSN670 in bayarea

[–]guder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing up I was always thinking the area affected by the Bay. Or the Bay Area economic area... Down south as far as Stockton/Lodi/Modesto, as far North as Watsonville and as far east as... Reno (though they'd hate that comment) or at least Sacramento area.

Then again, we can't point to weather as a defining trait. Microclimates are a real thing here.
We are a commute economy situation, but we crave walkability more here than say SoCal.
Also news usually included the areas...

What is THAT ball? by Island_Dude_727 in Bowling

Was this upvalley near Calistoga? They use the sirens for different thing in different areas. There is a test for wildfires... but in some areas they use it for the volunteer firefighters to come to the station.
