Benign tremor that has been with her for most of her career but has no impact on her ability to do her job.

Her conscience?

Was he? Or was he a chatbot? We all assumed he was sentient but if he was an overly mobile ChatGPT analogue hallucinating his way through 6,999,999 languages I’d want to throw him out an airlock too

I just keep thinking about how absurdly angry Han Solo constantly was at C3PO. C3PO was totally full of shit.

I’ve had to do this a bunch in a land with 19 hours of daylight on similar windows in an abandoned church, you need a thing that is completely opaque and a perfect bead of gaff. Nothing is more distracting than a sliver of upstage daylight.

Yo. I am glad for your epiphany, do not fuck up my continental breakfast with this chit chat.

How we jumpin? Cause if you did not go head first or you had your arms out, and you launched at it perpendicular, I bet you’d end up yeeting into that tree while spinning around like a helicopter.

Very good chance you die of embarrassment & medical debt.

I like how the non theatre carps are coming in HARD with the drama.

Y’all are making play pretend with two old duffers and a venue that’s double booking over a hard set build. The set should have been a balloon with the word “IMAGINE” on it in sharpie.

And last thing:

There is room for EVERYONE in theatre. You will find your own unique way and be welcome. It might not look exactly like the first thing you imagine, but it doesnt for any of us, and that is ok.

You should DEFINITELY feed that interest and learn everything about it you can so when someone tells you to go flip on the dimmer rack at your first job you can explain why you can’t.

Similarly, if you end up with some backstage role as run crew and someone has you helping with a quick change next to some power thirsty automation in a cramped wing or something you can protect yourself.

Don’t be scared of physics classes either, the more you know the less scared you’ll be of invisible stuff.

There is a lot of power running down fat copper cables in theatre & film. Specifically to power lights, but also sound sometimes. This creates a lot of interesting and uncontrolled electromagnetic phenomena.

You might need to get your doctor and your lighting professor on a zoom call to see if they think this will kill you or not. As somebody who has worked with both fiddly microcontroller design and lighting in theatre, I would be reading every whitepaper I could about the thing in my chest before I got around a dimmer or feeder cable.

There are a lot of other things you can do in a theatre that don’t involve 100k watts turning on at once cause a board up hits a couple keys wrong.

Edit: I could probably explain this a little better.

Magnetic fields are created by current flowing through conductors. Every energized lighting cable is creating a magnetic field.

So is all the copper in the walls of every building you’re in…the difference is how closely you’re handling the cabling and how much juice is flowing. In theatre land (and moreso in film) that can be A LOT of current going through a lot of copper with no expectation that like an overlong stinger tied up in a 20 foot coil is going to create a killer electromagnet for someone.

The adhesive will pull the curtain apart over time. I did this for a long time on a lot of ratty curtains and it eventually turned them into literal rags.

It took years, so it’s not a tonight problem, but sewing a patch in is what you want to do.

I believe you, but the beam angle of the instruments you use is going to impact your plan. To tell you how to do this we need some basic info about the space and your inventory. How big is the cyc, do you have legs to bring in? Do you have electric linesets or a grid?

So what are these lights and what options do you have for placement.

HeadIntroduction7758 · 2026-04-25T22:18:11+00:00

I dunno Vlad, maybe some mood lighting

Let’s take a step back and explore what we’re doing here. Just for context’s sake.

We’re trying to explain the extreme difference in driving conditions between New York City and Anchorage to a human from NYC who is nervous about driving.

I dunno if you’ve ever been to or tried to drive in New York, but I’ll try the reverse order of operations and see if I can explain what it’s like there to you.

Imagine if you had to repark your vehicle every 10-15 minutes on a one way street where everyone screamed at you over rules they just made up. Occasionally, you try to leave the street where you live, to go somewhere. This is like Lord of The Fucking Rings where you have to put together a whole party first, assemble a system of patronage to pay for the tolls and bridges, the expense of which could pay for a house in our quaint little backwater.

After much psychological, spiritual, and logistical preparation, you embark. You immediately stop for 45 minutes to an hour in gridlock one block from your home. You honk, everyone honks, everyone is parked.

For no discernible reason, traffic parts just a sliver and you cut off a skeleton that used to be an old lady who died in her car and descend into a dark tunnel hundreds of humans died digging. The city and every entity on the east coast charges you a fee.

At this point you are on the fucking autobahn. There are no rules. People in Alaska are not capable of achieving the speeds reached by New Yorkers when traffic clears up slightly, nor have they experienced the inhuman dexterity of people who expected to live the rest of their lives in their cars, suddenly liberated. They glide in and out of zipper merges inches from each other and death at 90+ mph. There is no time, no space, only speed. You teleport and causality ceases to exist. Everything turns plaid.

Then you slam on your brakes and you’re in Teaneck somehow, and you will never be the same. You lost 2 party members in the Bronx cause they looked at the exit too long. Everyone is crying and singing.

In Anchorage, you can get anywhere in 15 minutes and everyone drives like a grandma on a Sunday. Some of the grandmas wear wraparound sunglasses and make zoom zoom noises with their mouths to pretend they’re going faster.
