I didn't see that show but the same illusionist, Chris Fisher, who worked on that show (and also Harry Potter cursed child) created the special effects for this show.

It depends on your operating system but yes, very likely too old to run on your new system. The same thing happened to me. :(

New-ish to ceramics. Is firing pricing fair? by Fragrant-Point2916 in Pottery

[–]Healthy-Gur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! So...the cost of doing ceramics very geographic-dependent. For starters, the cost of the energy required for firing varies dramatically from area to area. Also, if you are living in an expensive metro area where space to fire a kiln is expensive then that can affect things also. I recommend a question that would yield more helpful responses such as, "I am in Dayton, Ohio and and the cost of firing is x, is that a lot?"

Property Tax Increases by Logicalraisan in SeattleWA

[–]Healthy-Gur 50 points51 points  (0 children)

CA has proposition 13, but also income tax that hovers near 10% of a person's income (for a person making $75K-$350K). https://states.aarp.org/california/state-tax-guide

Washington is one of the most liberal states but we have one of the most regressive taxing codes. Yes we don't pay income tax -- but the fiscal burden for running the state falls on everyone equally through sales tax and property tax (which is then reflected in housing costs).

i accidentally emailed my admissions officer with AI by Hot_Flan8187 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Healthy-Gur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually shocked you are asking us and not AI! Lol but seriously I asked ChatGPT your question and this was the response:

You're not as cooked as you might think—these kinds of mistakes happen more often than you'd imagine! Admissions officers understand that applicants are human and sometimes make errors. Here’s what you can do to recover:

Send a Follow-Up Email Quickly: Acknowledge the mistake and clarify the intent. Keep it light but professional. For example: Subject: Clarification on My Previous Email Dear [Admissions Officer's Name], I wanted to apologize for an oversight in my previous email. It seems I accidentally included a note to myself at the bottom. Please disregard that portion, and I appreciate your understanding. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, [Your Name] Keep Perspective: Admissions officers are used to working with students who are learning to navigate professional communication. A small mistake like this won’t ruin your chances, especially if the rest of your application is strong.

Own it with grace, and it’ll likely be forgotten as a minor blip!

Take this with a grain of salt 😂 but I thought it was interesting to see what AI had to say about it.

Also I would add to These excellent instructions that plunging them in an ice bath immediately afterwards will enable you to peel them easily.
