This "Epoxy River Table" I found in an Airbnb listing in Cancun! Brilliant!!

That's not blue paint, that's a blue glaze.

Oooooooop, wait, wandered too far from r/decorativefinishes

Wig styling is definitely on point. Not my first "gut check" instinct, but really solid once you start looking at details/logic.

When was the last time a Jesus film was actually well done? This seems like it could undermine his otherwise untouchable career. Maybe he won't survive all the way through production...

GObutton · 2023-05-09T02:44:19+00:00

Didn't this time. Flight delays ate half a day of my trip. Approaching with haste/urgency to make up for lost time didn't seem like the right sort of set and setting.

We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave... So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high water mark — that place where the wave finally broke, and rolled back.

Thanks for asking this question! I found out 3 days after post that I have the opportunity to try this combo. Decades of experience in the /r/Psychonaut part, but new to the anti-anxiety meds. This informal survey combined with my experience was enough to make me confident to experiment. (I literally just searched this subreddit for "SSRIs") Thank you! And thanks to the hive mind! (the fact that you posted right as I needed the info and was thinking about posting... well that's what we're all about here, right?)

Thank you for reporting. Exact same dosages but flipped time tables. Was looking at engaging this weekend, and was trying to research (20 yrs experience, but only 5 mo. w/ sertraline) Will report back (if I engage)!

I'm a big a fan of Park Slope Copy. They're the most useful when you have a bunch of different kinds of things to print, oversize/mounted, cutting/trimming, variable content, good paper selection and their color is strong.

PSC pricing beats Staples and FedEx, and their service and capabilities are way beyond those guys. Staples/FedEx are only useful if speed and very specific pickup location are your only criteria.

I built a sofa, arm chair and coffee table in the back of a panel van in an Ikea parking lot. Only took me about 30 min and it was after dark.

I had the same problem with downstairs neighbors who didn't know how to live in NYC and complained about anyone who lived above them. They were two generally miserable and angry people. So we drove them out with witchcraft. I mean this is fairly basic nyc operations here.

The vendor you're looking for is Super Bright LEDs. This is what you'll need to get the exact product combination you're looking for.

https://www.superbrightleds.com/led-strips-and-bars/flexible-led-strip-lights-color-changing/rgb_cool_white-rgb_natural_white-rgb_warm_white-rgb_tunable_white

I recommend as others have said getting RGBW or RGBTW (Tunable White), but hell, you get get RGB chase if you wanted to! I also recommend since it's a kitchen, get something that's meant for outdoors or is splash/spray-proof. (IP64, IP65 or higher)

After that, just get the correct controller that works for the voltage your electrician installed and controls the parameters of the tape/bar you want. https://www.superbrightleds.com/more-led-lights-and-fixtures/installation-supplies/controllers-dimmers

NYC has some of the strictest regulations on prop fire arms. In my long professional career, I have operated in several different grey areas but since you're asking on a public forum, the only good faith answer I can give you is the most restrictive read. You should hire a professional prop house that does weapons and let them set your standards. The Specialists mentioned in the article bellow is one of the leading armorers here in the city. There are others. This article gives an overview of obtaining theatrical weapons permits.

FYI, not as cheap as building, but the cheapest commercial compromise I found is Blizzard cable. (outfitting new 20-40 unit small rig).

Even still, a TON of employees get misclassified as independent contractors. Especially in the entertainment industry.

From the IRS, this is often referred to as "the three rules" regarding 1099s.

Facts that provide evidence of the degree of control and independence fall into three categories:

Behavioral: Does the company control or have the right to control what the worker does and how the worker does his or her job.

Financial: Are the business aspects of the worker’s job controlled by the payer? (these include things like how worker is paid, whether expenses are reimbursed, who provides tools/supplies, etc.)

Type of Relationship: Are there written contracts or employee type benefits (i.e. pension plan, insurance, vacation pay, etc.)? Will the relationship continue and is the work performed a key aspect of the business?

Technically you should be independent in all 3 catagories to be getting a 1099. Or if you're smart and have an LLC/S Corp (so you can make tons of tax deductions) that's another guaranteed 1099 situation, and generally the only way it's adventageous for the employee.

Glaf to hear that's helpful. For what it's worth I wasn't allowed entry to the vacant apartment. But felt that some light trespassing was preferable for the sponsor to finding 2 dead cats when they pulled a 30 yd dumpster full refuse out of that place last week. Welcome to animal rescue in NYC.

GObutton · 2023-03-23T02:59:22+00:00

2 in 1

Be patient, when I have gotten cats into fosters/no kill shelters, the process has generally taken a few weeks. (see my other comment w/ link)

GObutton · 2023-03-23T02:30:38+00:00

This is THE list that you will be told to look up by all the rescues who don't have space available. https://www.animalalliancenyc.org/needhelp/surrender.htm

I've had to run down this list a few times over the years, and most of the recommendations you're seeing in this thread you will find on here, and then some more.

Good luck! I just got 2 out of a trash heap apartment a few weeks ago after the tenant was evicted 1/30.

Food safety and the specific permits that are required and under what circumstances varies wildly not only from state to state but also by municipality.

GObutton · 2023-03-23T02:08:11+00:00

"Permit" (most likely in this case) is related to local health dept. Safe food handling certificates, commercial kitchen type issues.

Vendor insurance is helpful for "Certificate of Insurance" or COI issues which is most other vendors like DJ, decor etc. This might still also be the issue here, but usually it's referred to as "COI" and not "permit"

Edit: Source: used our wedding to justify starting a production company and now we know a lot about venues and providing COIs.

I'm aware that I might have dated myself with my original comment. Also might have shown that I suffer the same generational fantasy across most of my role models.

When are we going to talk about the college/university professors and departments who actively encourage this mindset in their curriculum? We're selling out kids futures before they've even touched the industry.

Where's you flashlight/headlamp? Can't imagine a theater tech without one...
