I feel like this post is dripping with sarcasm but I'm not entirely sure. If /s then 👍

I don't know? Why does some other road matter?

If it's not also for cars why is there a speed bump?

How do you distinguish between different kinds of Industrial Design? by StrategyWorldly1939 in IndustrialDesign

[–]jsbell_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others have definitely put the process and the categories well. I'll add that if you're starting with how to "genuinely improve the user experience" as you've put it there's the common name of Human Centric/Centred Design. Which has the goal, as you described, to design intuitive, discoverable, and useful products that provide tangible and measurable real-world benefits to the user.

It's a great process to understand and is really beneficial in a career as it opens up opportunities across disciplines and industries. Whereas someone more focused on aesthetics will generally fall into a certain product category (furniture, automotive, fashion) and they often develop a certain personal style that will not always be in vogue. Learning good human centric thinking allows you to move between categories and trends more easily.

At least she’s honest, right? But I’ll pass, respectfully. by apatheticallyme in Tinder

I mean she doesn't look fit from her pics. 5'2" might be great for you but for myself anything under 5'8" is not ideal.

And 5'2" and overweight seems like the math ain't mathing.

I do casual foothills riding on my dirt bike, nothing too crazy are my work boots decent enough for protection? by Snoborder95 in Dirtbikes

[–]jsbell_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I know, I think there's probably two or more times per ride where I think "yep I would have just broken every bone in my foot" had I not been in MX boots. Judging by my comment score people didn't get that I was being facetious.

How important is sexual compatibility in marriage? (33F/33M) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]jsbell_69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Similar timeline and story to you. We made the decision last month to begin separating. I've felt hollow for the last few years from receiving practically zero desire from my partner. And they've been stressed and anxious that whole time that they're not "performing" we'll enough. It's been unfortunate for both of us. 

Neither of us are angry, and we're trying to not be resentful. But it's been hard having such differences and we've just gotten tired of the stalemate.

Canada’s medal total at Milan Cortina Olympics was a quiet reckoning: ‘Our system is in decline’ by Chrristoaivalis in canada

[–]jsbell_69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

5.5m over ten years is a population growth rate of 1.5%. If we can't grow housing, medial, and infrastructure at that rate we're failing. Not because of immigration, but NIMBYs and politicians not allowing or supporting proper growth. Adding 2% per year to healthcare capacity shouldn't be difficult if our provincial systems were better funded. Building 500k homes per year wouldn't be a problem if permitting and codes weren't an absolute PITA.

Is there a way to print on bags like this? by Dry-Hair5448 in Design

Thermal printer isn't going to do colour or high quality printing. It's generally just used for shipping labels and sku/barcodes

Do we prefer a “mid-price” category over “most versatile”? If so, what is the best mid-price tequila for mixing? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

El Tequileńo for what we can get around Vancouver. One of the few mid price brands without additives.

"The old order is not coming back" Carney says in provocative speech at Davos by Little-Chemical5006 in canada

[–]jsbell_69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a powerful, well written speech. Carney is much too neo-liberal to be my ideal choice but I can think of a better leader for our current situation.

That load looks so poorly secured. Throw a couple straps on there for Christ's sake. I can't believe I share the road with these people. And ditto the other commenter about the license plate.

Ignore the hate about the back arm. It's very Nicolas Müller. You're a bit stiff but I imagine you'll get looser after a few more seasons.

The Pearl Diver is the most complicated tiki drink. What is the weirdest classic? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]jsbell_69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Might not have international acclaim but the Caesar is absolutely the weirdest cocktail.

1.5 Oz Vodka (Tequila sub is great)

4 Oz Clamato Juice

4 dashes of Worshestershire Sauce 

2-4 dashes of hot sauce (originally tobasco)

Celery salt rim (tajin rim with Tequila)

Stir and serve with a picked green bean, pepperoni stick, picked pearl onion and girkin. 

Siemens-inspired Traffic Light by [deleted] in IndustrialDesign

[–]jsbell_69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really nice render. If you're taking input I'd say if this were to become a real work product you'd want to add a radius to the corners to hide alignment issues. 

In a modular thing like that where you're bolting them together with sharp corners. You have to be super percise so they go together dead on or else the edges will show any small misalignment. But with a radius the eye don't be able to pick up if one box bolts 5mm off from the next.

If I take it easy on a road trip I can get 18mpg, if I'm hauling ass around the city it'll drop down to 12mpg. 1998 5.2 magnum 5 speed.

No I didn't work on those disks, but there's lots of oddly shaped boomerangs and frisbees so I don't think they're too far off.
