If it is so bad, they should quit. But they don't. Because the compensation is worth it and they aren't held accountable. If you consider reading to be a fundamental skill, then I don't see how you can say that school is fulfilling its mandate of "teach[ing] the fundamentals". Have you ever...

It's 10 now. Taxes take a third or your income, so...

Most schools are total failures. They are glorified daycare centers that masquerade as educators. The illiteracy rates of high school graduates is all the proof I'll ever need to make that point; there are people who graduate high school who can't read above a fifth grade level. These...

Kinda makes me miss the good old days when you bought a product or hired someone for the service because they had the right balance of cost/schedule/quality. Remember that? Now, for some reason, we are shoe-horning a purity test into our market system. To that point, I have a VERY political...

I won't say who, but we work with an education facility that violently defends its branding. To the point where every single project that we print that has its logo must be submitted to law firm in another state for brand review. The law firm then makes a determination on whether the design...

Maybe the Repeat Job is checked and the value is "0"?

One of the recurring problems that I have is this exchange between my designer and me (which happens once a week, minimum): Designer: "Have you printed the X job yet?" Me:"Yes, that's been printed and it is waiting to get laminated" Designer: "They want to make a change." Me: "But they approved...

Wondering what it would look like if you skipped the white and covered the whole back with etched glass. Good luck on your project!

(by the way, I don't want to pretend I knew any of this. I just found a graphic and thought it might help)

Classy looking shop you got there.

I had no idea what these were called, but I remember using these back when I worked at a movie theater. Stanchions. You'd be able to keep your space open and at the same time clearly tell people they aren't welcome beyond them. You'd also be able to reposition and reconfigure them at will...

Yeah, that sounds right. Red would be overkill. There are, of course, different colors of Loctite with different strengths. It is conceivable that manufacturers could use a threadlocker with a lower strength on parts that they really don't want coming loose. I'm not saying that they did...

UPDATE: I had a little bit of time last night and I did a cut test from the EFI. I set up a file with a contour cut line and I sent it as a contour job to my Graphtec cutter. I noted the job size and wrote that down. I went in to the registration mark outlines and got the margin, the mark...

I have been having the same problem. I have a Roland inkjet that we've traditionally done our printing on, and a Graphtec cutter that we bring laminated prints over to for cutting. We export .pdf files directly over to the EFI RIP, and it looks like the crop marks get added right before...

Something like "We've cultivated relationships with production facilities that do not deal directly with the public..." I've seen some people tighten up a bit when outsourcing comes up, but I remind them that the price isn't any higher and that the product still comes with out guarantee. I've...

I heard you can get a cheap, disposable screwdriver and dip the tip in epoxy. Hold the screwdriver in place (or figure out a way to keep it in place while the epoxy sets). That should work, right? Or, you could do the baking soda and superglue trick, fill up the cavity completely, let it all...

Sorry, what was the propaganda? Those are real people. The photograph is real. What am I missing?

Anyone remember Brewster's Millions? None of the above. His tag line was "I'll only make things worse... and that's a promise!"

My mom set up playdates with children who had chickenpox. The idea was that we'd catch it and gain natural immunity. Was this something you experienced? Mother was an ER nurse, father was a general surgeon.
