If I wanted to make some t-shirts for some friends - using a jpeg - is there a website that does good work?

Also, if the images used to make the jpeg are copyrighted - can I get in trouble? Assuming no profit is made on my end...

For what it's worth, here's the image:

Anybody doing silkscreening or screen printing will probably want it in some kind of vector image format so they can scale without loss of quality. JPG can work, but it'll be up to the screen printer to properly resize and deal with any detail loss.

As for the copyright thing, I wouldn't worry.

Is there anywhere where I can stream Mayweather vs. Ortiz live that doesn't suck complete donkey balls? Partial donkey balls is fine.

Are these chairs, HM mirra, freedom task chair, steelcase leap, worth their high price. Is there some definitive location that cuts through all the BS I am finding on google about them?

Herman Miller onry. Embody > Aeron Exec. > Aeron > Mirra. Herman Miller chairs are all worth the price. There's definitely a reason that most high-profile companies supply their sit-all-day employees with Aerons. I would highly recommend going to a nice enough shop to sit your butt in one. You will then understand and want to go buy the most expensive one + all the customizations you can afford.

You can get original HM chairs at a fraction of the price through 2nd hand dealers.
A lot of companies that go bust, liquidate their stock to these buyers.
Some of these chairs are almost brand new, it not they are refurbished to almost new anyway.

If i'm not mistaken, we got fully loaded size M HM Aerons for £250 a pop which is like 1/3 of the original price.

Last night while eating I noticed there appeared to be a hissing noise coming from my left ear every time I chewed. While I thought it was odd, and hoped it would go away during the evening, but it did not. Now I seem to be noticing it much more, but I'm not sure if it's just because I'm waiting for it to happen because I'm paying attention every time I close my jaw.

Any ideas what this is and/or if it's doctor worthy?

**Elesirdur** · 2011-09-20 18:35

Are you congested or have you sustained a head injury recently? Any pain in that ear, or redness and swelling? Running a temperature or just jammed a q-tip in too far? Could possibly have fluid in your Eustachian tube or an inner ear infection. Could just be Tinnitus. If it persists for a few days, gets considerably worse, or you start running a temperature or have excessive (ie. above normal) fluid discharge from either your sinuses or your ear canal, it's worth a trip to your GP or drop-in clinic.

**Kerberoz** · 2011-09-20 18:50

If it's fluid in the ear, it could take a week or so to go away. Pretty common. I wouldn't go to the doc unless it persists, but I'm just a random weirdo on the internet.

i uninstalled all the ffxi add-ons without any problem, but the original ffxi will not uninstall.

it gets stuck at 11%. i can hear my hard drive spinning and 'doing something' but the stupid bar won't budge at all.

anyone else have a similar issue?

**Cyn** · 2011-09-22 01:07

You're still using a FFXI-era HDD?

yep. got it for $299 in 2007. cheapest computer i could find.

still runs really well (interwebz onry, i don't game. well, it runs farmville pretty decently). only has 150gigs though, ffxi was taking up about 25gigs.

anyways, it just won't uninstall lol. i tried again, same shit, just gets stuck (got up to 15% this time, after 2hours....).

it isn't a big deal, only 7 gigs. i just figured a lot of people on here have experience uninstalling ffxi, so i was wondering if anyone had a similar issue.

You can just delete it from the program files folder, really. Registry settings and such will be left behind, and doing so can sometimes complicate reinstalling in the future, but there's ways around that, and if you don't ever plan to reinstall then it doesn't matter anyway.

**Apelila** · 2011-09-22 05:02

Yeah if the computer is old and your just freeing up space deleting FFXI isn't going to be terribad.

I think my bearings went bad in my front rim. The bike is my only transportation, so I haven't had any other alternatives. It's now at the point where it's ride-able, but takes me almost twice as long now to get to my destination w/ all the rocking back and forth the wheel does, hitting the break on each side. (even after adjusting them to go as wide as possible).

New rims totally run about $70-80 fro what what I've seen minimum for a road bike, and I'm broke as shit, so that's out of the question.

I can't find any pricing on new bearings though.

How expensive are they and how difficult are they to replace?

**Nightbreed** · 2011-09-23 19:05

This video is of the back wheel but may help with replacement:

As for buying them, do you have a local bike shop you can get to? Would probably be your best bet.

**Cream Soda** · 2011-09-23 19:10

hmm, mine seems to be considerably more fucked this his is, but it's the front as well. Maybe it's not the bearings after all?

Earliest I'd be able to get to a bike shop is Monday as well. None are open Sunday around me and I'm busy tomorrow volunteering.

Spoiler: show

If you don't mind registering for another forum I would post it here http://www.bikeforums.net/forumdispl...ycle-Mechanics and see what they say.
