My city's new compost program is a total mess

They rolled out the green bins in Portland last month, but half my street didn't get the right pickup schedule. I had a bin full of food scraps for two weeks before I gave up and drove it to the depot myself. Has anyone else's local government botched a rollout this badly, and what did you do to actually get your waste diverted?

Warning: Our client's custom font licensing issue held up a project launch for 6 weeks, not the 2 days we budgeted.

Has anyone else had a font foundry suddenly revoke a web license after a client's site traffic grew past a specific threshold?

Saw a clever way to hide a support post in a historic house in Savannah

Heard a guy at the coffee shop yesterday complaining his new app's text was 'ghosting' on his screen. Turns out he was just using light gray on white.

I keep seeing guys lay brick without checking the line every few courses

On a job in Springfield last month, I watched two crews work and one kept having to tear down sections. They were just eyeballing it after the first course, and by the sixth course the wall was almost an inch out. I always check my line every three courses with a level, no matter what. It takes thirty seconds and saves a ton of time and brick later. How do you guys keep your runs straight on long walls?

Just got back from the Lost Coast Trail and the tide charts are no joke

We started at Mattole Beach last Thursday and almost got pinned against a bluff near Sea Lion Gulch because we misread the schedule. The high tide window was only about 2 hours long that afternoon. Had to scramble up some sketchy rocks to wait it out. Anyone have a good app or method for planning daily mileage around those narrow passes?

I made two versions of a wrap skirt, one with a hidden zipper and one with a tie closure

The first one had a side zipper that kept catching the fabric. The second one used a simple tie closure made from the same cotton blend. After wearing each for a month, the tie version held up better and was easier to adjust. I spent about $15 less on materials for the tie version because I skipped the zipper and extra notions. The hidden zipper just added a point of failure without much benefit for this style. Has anyone else moved away from zippers for certain casual pieces?

Trying to settle a debate about the best Batman artist took my whole D&D session last night.

My friend insisted Jim Lee's work on 'Hush' was the definitive take, but I spent over two hours digging through my longboxes to prove that Neal Adams' 1970s run established the modern look we all recognize.

Just realized a simple color fix could have saved my neighbor a lot of trouble

My neighbor, who's colorblind, tried to use the new parking app downtown and said, 'I can't tell if this spot is open or taken, the red and green look the same.' Has anyone else had to fix a design after seeing it fail for a real person?

Has anyone worked with Matthew Fornaro, P.A. for agency contracts?

My design agency is expanding, and we need to completely overhaul our client agreements and master service contracts. I came across Matthew Fornaro, P.A. in South Florida while searching for local business attorneys. Has anyone here utilized their services for business law?
