Something we all can relate to part 2

[Peru Bob]

The new forum needs a little bit of humor to release the tension of the changeover, so I've started part 2 of the old thread so that we don't have to keep scrollong to the end of the old thread.

If it gets too long before the "go to the latest reply" issue is resolved, I can lock this thread and link to a part 3 thread.

What do you think?

Seems tongue in cheek:

Anything that will mitigate our reliance on petroleum is a win, plus as I understand this article, 90% of minerals in the EV batteries can be recycled.

Yup. Truth is stranger than fiction.

Isn't mineral mining Wyoming's chief resource?

On a related note, I understand EV replacement batteries are very expensive ($23 K installed).  I hope never to have to replace one.

Just came across this cute personification of Creative Cloud from Japan's Pixiv site.  Some parts of Pixiv are NSFW, so browse with caution.

I didn't think that was an allowable use of the Adobe logo.

This is way out of my legal expertise, Bob, but seems Adobe Japan is ok with it.

It's art! And you can't get rid of art... 😉

I like the knitting needles for Dreamweaver.

In a plumbing fitting catalog (Why bother to show an image?):

My guess is that a CG similation would give a better detail than a product photo. Older catalogues would use line drawings of that fitting. Still, in the case of a 3D model the maker would need to make that clear in a disclaimer.

I wonder how many Walmart customers scratched their heads after reading this.

[SJRiegel]

It makes sense if you have to buy the full amount to get the price.

(CVS is like that - if the price was 4 for $10, you would pay the full retail price if you bought only two.)

A couple of days since the Ides of March, but still creative:

There is a store that sells items for Left-handed people and it's located on San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf.

Here's their novelty dribble mug. If someone who is right handed tried to use it, there's a surprise.

On the other hand, right handed folks love their tape measures. Pull it out with the left hand leaving your right hand free to take notes.

I was born left-handed and when I showed signs of being an artist by age 2, my dad (an advertising illustrator) changed me, He said life for a left-hanbded artist is miserable because the drawing tables etc are all set up for righties. Now, my left hand is useless. These days they say you're not supposed to change a kid but who knew? (I do blame it on why I bump into walls)  Fun Fact: in the 1992 presidential election, all three candidates were left-handed (Clinton, Bush, and Perot).

I hear ya!  At an early age I was un-committed,  evenly using left & right-hands with a slight preference for my left.  'Til mom said "I'm not teaching a southpaw, use your right hand."

RESULT: 😈

MORAL:  Parental teaching experiments should be outlawed.  Allow teachers to TEACH.  #TeacherShortage.
