Telling people in New England to use the Shaka hand gesture is gonna end up a lot different.
Best case scenario, they think it’s the “I love you” hand sign. 🤟
As a designer who turned into a developer, had to do minor server stuff, manage my own freelance projects and debug it all…
I quit and started working in old cars and handyman stuff. Not a Luddite, but fuck marketing, temporarily organizing pixels, and spying on users for pennies.
Careful things can get out of hand fast.
They’re a bit smaller, but I’d classify them as a fur conglomerate.
I can tell you from experience, art school won’t help.
My mom’s house is at a T intersection at the bottom of a steep hill. When it snows at least one car ends up taking out the rock wall we built when I was a kid. Then I have to come back and rebuild it before the next storm.
The last time it happened we could see the path the guy took home as the oil leaked out of his pan after mounting the wall.
It’s a 30 mph road that loops so it’s mostly only delivery people and residents, but no one has made it more than 10 feet into the yard in 30 years, though the accident rate has seemed to increase in the last 10.
It was 5°F (-15°C) out. She would stand up and turn away when I opened the door to let her in. Then lay back down to watch us from outside after I closed it. The snow was so deep that The wind chill -5–10° probably wasn’t really affecting her at least.
Also hot chocolate tastes 10x+ better when you’ve been out in the cold.
The trick is you have to be out there for at least 20 minutes to acclimate. Otherwise it just hurts a little and then you get hot when you go back inside.

Peugeot and Aprilia scooters used a gameboy with a special connector cartridge to scan for fuel injection issues and tune the ECU.

Had to buy one of eBay to remove the speed limiter from one for a friend a few years ago.
Design lead here. I know photoshop like the back of my hand, but I also know Pixelmator (Mac only), Sketch and Affinity. All are very nice interfaces, one-time, or major version licenses, and smaller, responsive dev teams.
There are compromises in all software, but my team uses Pixelmator and Affinity because we’re a small company and it won’t hurt their design skills to know more tools besides the Adobe suite.
Gimp for a long time had shitty shortcuts and was quite unfriendly to Mac users (the REAL vendor lock-in in the design world btw). Him is just too slow to load, and ugly to look at, similar but less so with Inkscape.
Big firms might be harder to change, but it’s possibly and there are really good alternatives that Adobe probably worries a little about. Unfortunately they aren’t FOSS for the most part.
It’s a scenic railway, so it’s antique train cars that serve dinner, sight see, or recreate the Polar Express for kids in the winter.
It might do 50kph (about 30mph) briefly, but mostly just puffs along at half that.
Once they know you sure. Strangers, hardly ever.
Enablers are bad, yes, but invading aggressors are worse.
Your comment reads like “both sides” Russian propaganda.
They have the badminton rackets for knocking apples out of a wild apple tree across the field. We made a surprisingly tasty apple crisp with instant oatmeal and some vutter on the fire that night.
That’s all hand painted, no vinyl wraps here!
Still not sure why it was right hand drive though.

Never liked the 3 spoke wheels at the time, but kinda fun to see nowadays.
Had the perfect vanity plate too!
I’ll post a couple more pics in comments.
It’s a 1991 VW Multivan so it came with a poptop, and a cabinet in the back (so it has a weird L shaped downstairs bed), but no kitchen, just seating for 8 with two backwards facing jump seats.
It is very much 1980s technology (especially the convoluted ignition and injection system that still managed to act like a carburetor on cold starts). Everyone who approaches it at gas stations and parking lots always asks what year it is, then they look confused when it starts with a 9.
That’s an absurd amount if honking.
Try and record it if you do.
