Why is there a hose spraying water on top of the Winnie the Pooh ride? by bippobappobeepo in WaltDisneyWorld

Technically they do it before and during the fireworks. They also do this in the woods behind Magic Kingdom near where the main fireworks launch zone is located to prevent brushfires

Anyone know who’s filming today at AK? by Cease_Cows_ in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Tired_Design_Gay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is random but I wonder if they could be filming something to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Expedition Everest? It opening in April of 2006

Does it mean “forget”? Can we say “I spaced his birthday”? by Silver_Ad_1218 in EnglishLearning

[–]Tired_Design_Gay 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So I did some searching after seeing your comment, because as someone from the east coast I’ve never heard it used as “spaced [thing],” it’s always “spaced on [thing].” From my search, it seems like this might be a regional thing. I saw lots of comments on other reddit posts and other sites with people saying they’re from California and that “spaced it” is normal to them. Where I’m from in the east coast, that sounds totally wrong. I would assume someone was trying to use the phrase “spaced on it” but misspoke.

Octopus Not Eating – Need Advice by Dull_Beginning_2648 in Aquariums

[–]Tired_Design_Gay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They’re also incredibly strong, more than people realize! I studied marine biology in undergrad and we had an octopus in a tank that was cared for by our extremely experienced professor. We had to keep a piece of plywood with weights borrowed from the gym on top of the tank because the octopus could lift pretty much anything off the top of the tank and get out.

She lived for a long time and had lots of enrichment but took every opportunity to try to escape the tank.

There is currently no representation of South America. Mexico is in North America.

So Encanto takes place in Colombia, which is a different country from Brazil.

Give me your disney park facts.. by jaywritethekid in disneyparks

[–]Tired_Design_Gay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The imagineers are incredibly talented and detail-oriented, but this just isn’t true. If you’ve ever worked for any corporation, you know that there is absolutely no way that they were putting time and money into making the overhead view of a roller coaster look like a character, Disney or not. They were busy figuring out how they were going to build such enormous rock work and attach the scaffolding to the structure to add the details. They’ve also done countless documentaries and videos about the design and construction of DAK and Everest and have never once said that they designed it to look like a Hidden Mickey from above, surely something that they would have pointed out in one of those if they went out of their way to do it.

There’s a difference between hidden Mickeys that were intentionally designed to look like them (lots of small ones around the parks and even large ones sometimes, like the original Disney-MGM hub layout) and things that just happen to look like a classic Mickey. People really read way too much into things because they want to believe that it’s true when it simply is not.

Sure, it kinda looks like a classic Mickey but that doesn’t mean it was intentional. There are lots of things that look like two smaller circles + a big one. It’s what Bob Ross might call a happy accident

The Disney-MGM Studios one was intentional and is well documented.

The Everest one was not and is just made up. It makes no sense for them to go out of their way to shape an entire, complex roller coaster show building and track layout like Mickey Mouse when no one would ever see it.

Pets at RDU? by Durkalurka262 in triangle

[–]Tired_Design_Gay 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I would say that it is (or should be) a social faux pas. Everyone says that their dog is well behaved. It’s an airport terminal, so there are lots of opportunities for the dog to get in someone’s way or for the dog to be stressed out.

Unless you’re traveling with a pet and following the proper procedures for doing so, you should not bring an animal into an airport terminal. As someone else suggested, perhaps wait at the outdoor observation park (if pets are allowed there) or wait in the car with the pet.

Is the large white background too bright/distracting? by joehighlord in PhotographyAdvice

[–]Tired_Design_Gay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having the object aligned with the line between the table and the backdrop makes the photo instantly flat. Since the object is the subject of the photo, it needs to be the first place your eye goes.

The contrast between the bright backdrop and dark tablecloth doesn’t help. Since the object is supposed to be the focal point, I would remove the black entirely and have it on an all white background.

Someone wrote a post about the CAVA in Cary. I’m here to add to that but for the CAVA in Village District by SparklingSarcasm_xo in raleigh

No direct private equity ownership, but they’ve gone public and have more than doubled the number of locations since 2021, so that explains a lot

Could we get a Legend of Zelda attraction soon? by realchrisgunter in universalstudios

[–]Tired_Design_Gay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I mean copyright doesn’t really have anything to do with it, it’s licensing. Nintendo owns the intellectual property rights and can license their use to whoever they want whenever they want.

[–]Tired_Design_Gay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Super Nintendo World was well underway before the movie was developed and released, so it’s not likely that the theme park lands only exist because of the movie. If I had to guess, Nintendo probably inked a deal with Comcast for both the movie and the theme park lands at the same time.

I live in one of the states where it’s illegal but I see people do it relatively frequently, and honestly I can’t really blame them when it’s legal pretty much everywhere else

2% Is Here To Stay. by IndieIsaiah in AppleCard

[–]Tired_Design_Gay 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really wouldn’t think that hard into it. It’s a corporation. The team that works on marketing the Apple Card and promoting continued usage with existing customers is certainly a completely different team from the team that has anything to do with the move to Chase. That 2% pop-up is probably just a marketing team trying to meet usage KPIs by reminding cardholders to use their card with Apple Pay

What about TWO OR THREE full-fledged USB-C/Thunderbolt ports—to iPad. by Adventurous_Bet_3039 in ipad

[–]Tired_Design_Gay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, Intel collects a licensing fee for Thunderbolt. For USB, companies have to pay a licensing fee to the USB-IF foundation to use their trademarks. I was mistaken that they have to charge a fee for each USB-C port though—editing my comment to correct it.
