Almost half of adults say they are ordering kids' meals.

About 44% of adults surveyed by Lightspeed Commerce, a provider of point-of-sale technology for hospitality businesses, said they're ordering from the kids' menus at restaurants. Kids' meals are traditionally less expensive than those on adult menus because portion sizes are usually smaller.

 Remember that quote / insight that was driving the experiential economy that went something like: 'The millennial generation is choosing to spend money on experiences rather than things'?

Soon we'll have a similar insight where information authored by human beings will presented as a premium.

"100% non AI organically human made content!"

Lovely isn't it, how as we continue to destroy the only home we have as a species, we find ways to outsource our contributions to society as well.

 This then may be the end of a regular check in habit at QBN. A check-in which has been very regular part of my life since ... what 2002? I don't know. I'm wary of suggesting a year because I don't actually know when QBN appeared, and I'm not sure when Newstoday became QBN.

I do quietly believe I used to look at NT/QBN back when I worked at a company called Overland, but I left Overland in 1999 so maybe that is a false memory.

Anyway, now it's just a column of nauseating purple rectangles, and any sense of anything that might be going on here is already lost.

It feels a little bit like losing one's hearing, I imagine. You can still be there in the room; still see the people interacting animatedly, but there's nothing but muffle reaching you.

And I do realise this is just a UK thing and it could be resolved with some agreements being struck about terms, conditions, definitions and rules... but that isn't going to happen. So it feels like a backwards step into a partitioned world - the opposite of the original www dream.

Like Concorde, we had supersonic flight, and we've never been that advanced since, but due to complications we had to go backwards.

Funny to think that those hairy deodorant dodging nylon slacks wearing peope of the past could travse 8000miles in less than half the time it takes us today.

Funny, also, that for a while the whole world could reach out and say hello, share ideas, debate, collaborate, form communities, societies, in pursuit of dreams...

Yet now we are red or blue, afraid or brave, capable of about 10 seconds of focus, condemned to misunderstand each other and programmed to react aggressively when we do.

The wall of purple tiles is nothing really. Just a hosting site at odds with a government, or something of that sort.

But it's another smallish porous hole opened up as the once flexible bones of global connection continue to go brittle with osteoporosis, and we all retreat from each other in fear.

Goodbye QBN.

I was
Spookytim
Spooky
Spyook
Koopsy
Horp
Orbit

I had a lot of fun, I upset a lot of people for a while I think, and I was frequently a pain in the arse (ass) but I was here, for a long time. I've enjoyed it silently for even longer, but now it's just purple tiles, and there is no point even lurking now.

*Drifts away into the space-time continuum, aging slowly but steadily, farting silently but deadily.

The "AI actress" story looks suspiciously to me like someone just rendered a generic-looking picture of a woman, made a few AI video clips from it and set up an Instagram page.

https://www.instagram.com/tillyn…

The images and video are not even that great as far as AI goes. And based on that the media starts writing about the world's first AI actress... talent agencies want to sign the AI actress... people in Hollywood are outraged by it. I guess it's a nice publicity stunt but it's just mind-boggling how dumb people are.

 Chat GPT is a pretty good brainstorming partner if you are alone. It doesn't give you amazing ideas, but buckets/territories for you to riff off of and find real human insights from.

Midjourney or any other image tool is now indispensable for creating storyboards if you are doing video work.

 Ouroboros... In general, there are just a lot of new tools that create a lot of new mistakes to fix, followed by even more new tools every day to correct those mistakes.

For concepting it's like rocket fuel...  That being said it gets frustrating when the client wants to steer the rough prelim concepts like they do for more fleshed out ideas. We find that we have to eventually rebuild everything in a more traditional manner to have the level of control for client feedback so the time savings is null because the work is still there it’s just fallen into an internal hidden factory so to speak.

We had one client that was all about the new Ai workflow and had even selected a completely generated character as part of their vis id... then a note came in near project close along the lines of the “character needs to be consistent across the entire website”.  Eventually the hero output had to be rebuilt in 3D and then modeled for every page change across the site.

I dunno maybe it will all get better/smoother maybe model consistency will improve. Sadly I think the taste bar will just drop and “ehh it’s good enough” will become more pervasive.

As a tool to generate something from nothing (a prompt) I fear the loss of human touch; even a base (like above) of something made with a human hand / touch.

Reistence is futile, eh?

comment: These 2 tools specifically will save me (designer) and my wife (artist/illustrator) hours of work weekly.

comment: are they still only available in "beta" photoshop? that's another stupid issue... Adobe showcases these tools in the "beta" pshop build

comment: but i am stuck in 25.12.1 because IT won't allow us to use "beta" so clients and AD's get to see these cool instagram influencer reels of features

comment: then when we want to test them we are assed out.

comment: then to use firefly u have to go to the web portal because we are allowed to use firefly but then you see the "beta" reels showing nano banana in pshop

comment: only again to find you have to use "beta" pshop... it's like every buggy test implementaion gets pushed to the beta build and a reel made

comment: then all the AD's attempt to use it only to find IT won't allow them beta access.

comment: maybe when more of our AD's get upgraded from their Intel Macs these newer features will become more common but right now we are stuck at 25.12.4

topic_title: recent vinyl finds

post:
 I'm back from a fruitful dig in Northampton/Milton Keynes which turned up some amazing finds in only 3 days, these are some of the singles I'll get to the albums soon.

A Scottish football 7" I had not come across before - and I've seen a lot! Their glory days may be behind them now as Rangers are not doing so well at the moment.

Odd one off release by the holiday camp company on a label that only released 2 singles and it looks like it's signed on the label, maybe by Loopy himself!?

Another signed oddity featuring a cover of a song by The Nitty Gritty Dirt band first on the Paint Your Wagon soundtrack.

The toe-tapping B of the A side of a Phil Spector cover by Cleo (backed by The Stones). The ALO Orchestra are probably most famous for being sampled by The Verve for Bitter Sweet Symphony.

A scarce early 70's Nigerian disc of highlife-juju fusion music in beautiful condition.

Promotion disc of jingles and radio links, a very similar release to a whole LP of them I have released in the mid 70's via Anglian Productions.

Rare original mis-pressed Beatles EP with no track info on the A side!

Best 7" finds by some distance was a box of records near the till of a second hand warehouse a friend put me on to, I asked how much they were and the guy said "they are free, we've had so many donations of records we're just giving them away, so help yourself" unbelievable!?! There was dozens of 60's promo's and despite my gentle protest that "some of these must be quite rare" he insisted I take as many as I like, so I did, but slipped him £20 (which he tried to pass back to me) if only for karma reasons. I've not come across such generosity in a shop before but as I left I wondered wtf I must have missed if they had so many more. This is a handful of the best not including the Tamla ones!

featuring Benny & Bjorn pre ABBA

featuring Steve Hackett pre Genesis

comment: why not?  anything or something specific like palantir .... u were informing us once u made some good cash with palantir......no need to get upset.

comment: Palantir is a whipping 0.5% of my investments. Who gives a shit? Why bring it up? It’s absolutely irrelevant unless you’re trying to critique me

comment: Please don’t tell me you’re one of “those people” who equate stock ownership with support of a company. Eye roll.

Pulsa deNura, Pulsa diNura or Pulsa Denoura (Jewish Babylonian Aramaic: פולסא דנורא, romanized: pulsā di-nurā, lit. 'the lash of fire') is a purportedly ancient Kabbalistic ceremony in which the destroying angels are invoked to block heavenly forgiveness of the subject's sins, allegedly causing all the curses named in the Bible to befall him resulting in his death. It is controversial for having been allegedly invoked against several contemporary political figures, including by Yosef Dayan against Yitzchak Rabin before his assassination.

topic_title: Jr Designer thread - Wordpress edition

post:
 I'm getting bogged down in handling a color schema for:

followed links
unfollowed links
highlight upon hover over links

and the rest.  I asked the AI about this, I asked it to show me how to come up with the color schema for desktop, and for mobile, just so I could see how it's supposed to be.

It gave me the mcdonalds's website as an example of what the schema is supposed to look like on desktop.

www.mcdonalds.com

It gave me socialbee's website as an example of what it's supposed to look like on mobile.

https://socialbee.com/

The AI recommended to handle hover like this:

"Alternatively, a simple underline or bold effect on hover can be combined with the color change to emphasize interactivity without overwhelming the design."

I have some questions.  I see that mcdonalds site has all links underlined.  Is that common practice if you are designing for desktop? Also there are no hover effects when you hover over the links, and visited links appear to be same color.  (although all links are blue instead of the usual black used in the body)

I see that socialbee has mostly buttons, where I would have expected links to be.  That makes sense because buttons are naturally bigger than text links.  Is this common practice when designing for mobile (depreciate all links to convert them to buttons).

Also, there don't appear to be any followed buttons color changes upon hover either.

For my website, should I use highlighting or a different text color for followed links at all?  Neither website above uses either, that i can tell.

What about bold?  Is that a good effect to have upon hover over the call to action?

[User] monNom

comment: No to bold on hover. No to changing everything to buttons. Underlines are the historical style for a link. :visited colour is helpful when many links exist.

comment: :hover is only a feature on desktop, so may be removed for consistency with mobile.

comment: Standard html: link blue and underlined Link:active (clicking) - red, underlinedLink:visited - dark blue/purple, underlinedHover: no-change, cursor changes.

html_comment:
Standard html: link blue and underlined
Link:active (clicking) - red, underlined
Link:visited - dark blue/purple, underlined
Hover: no-change, cursor changes.

comment: Don't bold on hover as that will shift the text around your link, possibly causing reflow of text, and feeling generally awful.

[User] evilpeacock

comment: :hover and :focus can treated the same; :focus is relevant to touch-screens where :hover is not.

comment: Ok underlines are the historical way to do links, so that's sorted.  But I thought long taps = hover on mobile. When I'm scrolling down a page on mobile,

 Had an interesting Facebook marketplace experience over the course of the past week. We were selling a small boat we've had for about 15 years...have hardly used for about 5...so time to get rid of it. We originally paid about $900 for it...it's banged up a bit and I needed the storage space so listed it for $50.

A guy contacted my wife and asked if we'd take $30. We told him to GTFO. I said $50, take it or leave it...he agreed.

The wife asks for payment before pickup...he goes silent. Then asks if he can pickup at midday on Sunday...again I say GTFO - come at 9am or after 7pm as it was a nice day and I didn't want to be stuck at home. Again we ask for payment.

The guy then contacts my wife and says can he pick up at 11am - she says no problem, we'll leave the boat in our front yard...gives him our address and as he hasn't paid yet, to leave the cash UNDER THE FRONT DOOR!!

So out we go...I have no idea about this new plan, and of course when we get home, the boat is gone and no cash. I say to the wife 'WTF is going on'? She tells me her plan and I almost fall over...now my wife is lovely, but a bit too trusting at times.

Anyway, at this stage my eyes are turning red with rage...I find the guy's profile - see that he's a 'digital creator' in the local Indian community here...so I post a message on one of his IG posts 'how's the canoe going mate?'.

I then send him a filthy facebook messenger note...warning him if he doesn't pay for the canoe in the next 30 minutes, I'll be outing him on all his platforms as a thief...as we had the entire thing on CCTV with a clear view of his face.

The money landed in my wife's account about 5 minutes later.

 Coincidences
Story 1

A few weeks ago  I was at the family home and both daughters were at home.

Both my daughters are teenagers, with long hair that must always be getting washed, and delicate faces which must always be tended to and crafted.

We only have one bathroom. I vitoed a second one when we remodelled, believing it to be additional complications at the expense of space.

But I do often need to shit.

It gets Hollywood Thriller tense sometimes. The girls (three, including their mother) only need the bathroom for about six hours, and that six hours usually starts with the slam of the bathroom door just seconds after my bowel informs me it would be a great time to shit.

I've frequently palpitated and sweated, clenching and stock still but radiating dramatic deperation at the foot of the stairs for literally hours sometimes. Just hoping to catch the three second window when one teenager swoops out and another, herself impatient but for different reasons to my own, swoops in.

About three weeks ago one daughter and her mum had gone out. My bowel had just triggered my youngest daughter to Occupy The Bathroom, and I had become quite seriously distressed after a good long while of hoping she wouldn't be much longer now.

I kept hoping, I never wavered in my conviction that some day, eventually, she would leave the bathroom.

And then I did waver, and I did lose hope, because my bowel said "ok, it's time to shit now"

For the first time ever I had no choice. I waddled into the kitchen, grabbed two bin liner sacks and the kitchen roll. I lay one sack down flat out behind my closed bedroom door, and fashioned a bucket of the other.

I stripped off and took a shit on my bedroom floor. It was an aggressive, non-compliant, voluminous diaspora of what seemed to be six months of intake participating in a lavishly staged review. All the angst and all the rebellion. The full spectrum of the human experience.

Maybe it was just the incongruity of shitting in a bag on tne floor that made it seem so big, so ambitious, so no-holds-barred. Or maybe it was just a big shit with a chip on its shoulder.

Anyway the moment I was committed and the masthead was hitting the bag, the bathroom door was flung open audibly. The bathroom was free.

But also, at the exact same time, my wife and daughter arrived back home and started calling for me right outside my door to urgently respond to their need for a bag carrier.

So I had to shout DO NOT COME IN.

Which seemed sinister and sleazy.

And then, shit smells. And it's a free roaming, pernicious smell. So soon, everybody knew I'd just taken a shit on my bedroom floor, for the first time in my life.

These moments of coincidence happen to me all of the time. I can set my watch by them.

Not my asshole though.

I've been working in Birmingham since my dad died. I wanted to keep my mum company. It's been about 18 months in total. I stay at my mum's house.

I am a registered resident in Hove though, maybe 200 miles away (I don't fucking know how many actual miles it is). My dentist is in Hove, and in the UK we have an NHS x Dental collab situation.

If you fail to meet your mandated schedule of visits, you can get struck off a dentist's books and it can be a long time on a waiting list to get another dentist.

Because I was in Birmingham and due at a client meeting, I had had to postpone a scheduled check up. I did it in good time, and chose a new date.

When that new date came around I was once again unable to attend as I needed to be in York, so I had to postpone a second time.

I got warned that time. Flagged up as wavering in my commitment and procrastinating with my tithe.

It's NHS linked, but dentists are private practices and you have to pay. If you want to be on the books you have to pay for your alloted appointments. If not... you're not a profitable part of their business. You're taking up a revenue space on the database.

Rebooked. Each time I postpone it's months between the bookings.

Booking 3 comes around and last moment there is an emergency and I cannot get back to Hove.

I get my final warning. Miss one more...that's it. You're out.

By the way, this story is really boring. Not like the thrill-a-minute bag of shit one.

I was going to be spending December in Jamaica this year (not anymore), but my passport was in that danger zone of 10 months left where you can find you get refused even though it's technically still valid.

So the whole dentists thing has gone on for a about a year, and my latest rebooking, at 12.45 today was agreed about three months ago.

About a week or so ago I decided to go ahead and renew my passport.

I did the process, uploaded a pic, paid, and sent off my old passport.

They say it can take up to six weeks.

Two days later I'm notified my application is approved.

Two days later I'm notified my passport is being printed.

Two days later, it's in the post

Then I get a Royal Mail message notifying me my new passport is being sent special delivery and must be signed for...

And they tell me it's coming between 11.30 and 1.30 today.

Exactly when I need to be at the dentist.

And honestly, I keep a VERY open, uneventful schedule. Out of literally billions of delibery slots, the only two things I am obliged to attend to in literally months and months of easy retired living is

1. Pay my tithe to my dentist
2. Sign for my passport

Both are required, at exactly the same time.

It blows my mind.

Listen, fuck off I know it's a boring story. I'm logging (< pun) coincidences for scientific appreciation, not writing titillating soft porn magazine articles.

 Lately my flatulence has been gone through the roof. I'm just farting all the time. After every meal it seems. Luckily my farts don't smell or rarely. But it can be loud at times. I have to be careful so nobody hears it. When I'm all by myself it's so satisfying to do a little fart-opera.

One day I was passing a man in the park and I accidentally farted and he thought it was a "hello" or something so he said "hello" to me.

 Jane Goodall said she would launch Trump and Musk on one-way trip into space

In a lifetime studying the behavior of chimpanzees, Jane Goodall became something of an authority on the aggressiveness of alpha male adults. Now, in an interview released just days after her death, the famed primatologist reveals what she would do with Donald Trump, Elon Musk and other human beings she saw as showing similar traits: launch them on a one-way trip into space.
