As a Fellow 'murican, I approve with this concept. Let's ship it for export. Man those tarrif's though :) /s

wel, it would be nice to be able to own something while in transition no?

For the sake of our democracy, American hedge funds should be banned from owning Canadian things. --FTFY

Flawless opsec is a lot, but at least for now, it's not how they are finding people.

It's tips and borders at the moment. If it becomes police action as well you just have to make sure you're not noticed by the police.

We're probably not all that far off of papers please.

You want more convoys? Ingesting the US will give you nothing but cancer. If it's not a city or a suburb, you're just absorbing indoctrinated fascism. It's pervasive.

and they we have pods. Which are the hugest ripoff per load, but for the first time people are actually using the right amount of detergent and they're all amazed that the machines don't get gummed up.

Just measure the real stuff right?

Yup, I saw a reasonably well-conducted study that verified they decrease dryer time.

https://www.scienceabc.com/eyeopeners/how-do-fabric-softeners-work.html

It was created so that when you dried clothes outside (especially cotton) they didn't get crunchy. The fibers tend to freeze an interlock microscopically when they dry. It coats the fibers and makes them not stick together.

When mechanical dryers became the norm, they needed a new reason, so the called out static. And in some climates, dryer static can be a bit of a pain. Dryer balls supposedly help with this, but I can't find any reasonable data to back that up, and that's just the kind of thing we're confirmation bias over.

Softener can/will build up on the fabric. It can discolor bright whites.

I think the worst of it is:

• if you use it on towels or anything meant to absorb water, it seriously dampens that ability
• it builds up in the nooks and crannies of the washer and it's hard to clean off,
• it's expensive
• for mechanical drying in moderate climates, it does little more than add smell.
• some people have allergenic reactions to it

Fuck and I thought it was just the new administration.......

vandalising Teslas

Not nearly enough of that going on to keep us from protesting. TBF we could stand to be burning a few more teslas AND get in some solid protesting.

Would be nice to have a community covering protests and amateur journalists anonymously posting, but then I don't want the government farming videos of that for targets.

Nobody can have nice things I suppose.

Off-Canvas Editing Paint tools can now automatically expand the width and height of a layer as you draw! You can select “Expand Layers” in the tool options to enable drawing past the current boundaries of layers.

More features such as guides and auto-expanding layers can be used to work in the off-canvas space!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Nothing is intuitive in that software.

UI/UX is a very very difficult job. I've only ever known a few UI/UX artists that were any good, and OMFG, are they expensive.

You can't just drop everything and focus on something where you don't have domain experts. Not to presume too much about you, but that would be like saying you need to drop everything you're doing and focus on brain surgery next year. UI/UX is art. It's a very specific type of art that, unfortunately, doesn't come easy for people. There are companies for hire that work professionally on UX/UI, but they're not cheap either. Anyone can spot bad UX, but knowing how to fix it in a way that works for everyone, that's nearly a unicorn.

I've been using gimp since it was released for daily driver projects.

I've been using Photoshop for about a decade when required for gigs.

I can get around either app pretty decently at this point.

If you drop any new user into either, they'll be absolutely lost.

If you drop a seasoned Photoshop user into GIMP, they'll not only be lost but be unable to use their vast array of plugins and macros and aren't quite (but non-technically are) impossible for the average user to work on.

We can't make Gimp Photoshop-like. We can make strides to improve Gimp, but it's beyond reach for the current team. Maybe we can start a crowdfund to get a UX company to take a stab at it, but even at that we'd need buy in from the developers and it would likely be an incredibly large rework, not unlike the current one that took quite a long time.
