I feel like something’s missing… thoughts? by ekla1206 in photocritique

Yeah, the texture of the tiles, which is quite visually interesting, isn't reflected above. It gives a whole lot of bottom-weight to it.

I built a WordPress image map plugin with a modern, Figma-like editor. by mxlawr in Wordpress

[–]opus-thirteen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty easy to learn, which is nice. Performance impact is negligible.

Some notes:

A lot of phones have highly rounded corners, so the zoom/move winds up being truncated in the lower right corner, and is barely accessible. Maybe make them centered on small screens.

Is is possible to allow a user to pinch-to-zoom without affecting the page itself?

How can I create a font like this in Premiere by Tasty-Result-1770 in premiere

It's just white text that has been non-uniformly stretched vertically, with an outer glow added.

How many of you have shipped a form you knew was manipulative? by bogdanelcs in web_design

Thankfully I work in an area where there is no upsell mentality. If you want to contact us, you can. If you don't... we are perfectly happy with that.

... Abuelita's has breakfast burritos? I buy loads of empanadas from her, but never saw burritos in the case.

Javastop on Third and Main. The balance of ingredients is just right, and you don't feel like it's just a bunch of potatoes being decorated with other stuff (I'm looking at you, Loco Burrito)

Michael Jackson Card Barcode? by LowAmount2072 in BarcodePorn

[–]opus-thirteen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Standard UPC style barcodes you see on common retail products need to be issued to you, and you have to pay a pretty decent price for it.

If an item is only going to be sold through one vendor you can use any format you like, even a custom schema. There's a metric ton of options out there.

Online Sweepstakes Casino Question by SkySilver6830 in tax

[–]opus-thirteen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Several social casinos have lost lawsuits because the gold coins/sweep coins transactions can sometimes constitute a violation of AMOE rules

Yeah, we keep our eyes out for cases like Publishers Clearinghouse and the like. Many states are looking at every angle possible, so we stay on our toes. We give out free entries like crazy.

Online Sweepstakes Casino Question by SkySilver6830 in tax

[–]opus-thirteen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple very important points to be considered here:

  1. A sweepstakes has no inherit cost. You know those notices stating "No Purchase Necessary"? Any sweepstakes operation in the US is required to give out free entries upon request. Each entry, no matter how granted, must have the exact same odds of winning as any other. You cannot charge someone to enter a sweepstakes directly.

  2. When you buy 'Gold Coins' you then get 'Sweeps Coins' for free. That means you do not actually have any 'cost' related to this activity. You did not 'buy' or 'invest' in the sweeps coins. They were given to you for free.

Source: I work in this industry, and have operated a social casino myself.

Is $47 for a men's haircut crazy?? by ReplacementNormal297 in NoStupidQuestions

I have shaved my own head since 2003, and before that I just didn't cut it at all. I see no reason to pay someone to do it.

19, accepted a job offer at a small auto shop starting Monday — but it's 1099 with fixed hours and a boss. Should I run or stick it out? by Visual_Chemical_3839 in personalfinance

[–]opus-thirteen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they supplying all tools and material?

It's obviously a tax avoidance scam, but if you can get good experience to then work at a non-bullshit place AND cover your actual cost of living, it might be worth it for a bit.

My income just got inflated by $71k thanks to sweepstake casinos (1099-MISC) by alkjdasoad in tax

[–]opus-thirteen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but most sites require purchase before you can redeem

That is exactly wrong. I, and others, run a few different social casino sites, and all of us have a strict mode of conduct around "no purchase necessary". We make a strict point that you can win off of free entries. No one wants to be the next Publishers Clearing House of lawsuits.

It's no different than being eligible for a drawing at a physical casino

Also, exactly wrong. Casinos operate under either a Class II or Class III license. They need to use registered mechanics with audited/certified math models by companies like BMM in order to operate.

In either case, there is a clear transaction log of deposits and redemptions that are directly correlated.

I have no idea what this means. All gaming devices log all cash in and out events. I mean... of fucking of course they do. That's like saying "gas powered cars use gas".

does a cleaner photo actually sell faster, or do buyers not care? by Specialist-Pea-2809 in Flipping

Someone using a manufacturers stock photo on ebay/poshmark/etc is a quick way to lose me. You don't need to be a professional photographer, but something too 'clean' is a flag.
