In your opinion, what makes a good ACD?

Honestly? Someone that’s secure enough in their ability that they accept letting others do work, rather than (re)doing it all themselves. Obviously it’s a somewhat transitional role, but ACDs in general are way more likely to micromanage projects I’ve found.

The ability to let the junior team do their thing, but offer them a little creative nudge if they get stuck. And be ready to bring ideas to the table if the kids are floundering.

Bitcoin boys be like it’s a stable asset and is alternative to central bank money printer currency...meanwhile it goes up 15% in a week and drops 20% the next. Definitely stable with good liquidity and definitely no ponzi tether behind the scenes. One thing you should look at is that in the last month or so tether printed no new tether. Wonder how prices have reacted in the last month or so.

About to give a go at negotiating a price for a used ‘21 Mercedes’ GLE 350 - 7k miles. I know it’s a tough buyers market but any tips on ways to negotiate? Dealer is 100 miles away and priced competitively at $64k but another dealer is 200 miles away and priced at $60k. Features are about the same but the more expensive option has nicer wheels so maybe that’s worth ~$2k. TIA

Hey fellow fish. I’m wanting some reference to an eclectic editing style that incorporates a bunch of filmic styles into the narrative. Not in a Womb Stories way, but more in an Uncommon B&Q Build a Life way. The reference I’m thinking of cuts away to vintage black and white footage and even old cartoons. I just can’t for the life of me remember what it was for. Any suggestions would be massively appreciated!
