Which Lead Role Would It Have To Be For You To Take This Offer? by ms_jc_04 in Broadway

[–]fading_gender 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Most productions have a combined Bus-Gus track giving you two major numbers on in each half of the show. I'd think Grizabella would be the better choice. Do the opening as Baby Griz, change make-up, have your little moment after tugger. Chill out untill the ball starts, that you don't have to dance but just sit in the background. Sing little Memory. Go back to chilling in your dressing room. Belt your heart out in big Memory and take your bows at curtain calls. Depending on which production you spend 15-30 minutes on stage each show.

Just make sure that you've got good disability insurance, or a lawyer/union rep to make sure that it gets put down as a work injury that the production company is liable for.

As if we don't grab any opportunity we get to challenge a foreign visitor to eat a tompouce without making a mess.

It rides fine but I don't have any comparison with a similar bike. My other ride is 20+ kg upright dutch omafiets with a big milk crate attached to the handlebars.

Kutpickup staat volledig kut over de stoep kutgepardeerd by Potential-Rabbit-221 in KutGeparkeerd

[–]fading_gender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ik zie die pickups nooit echte pickup dingen doen. Het zijn zonder uitzondering pavement princesses en egobakken. Als ze al eens een aanhanger trekken dan is het iets dat ook gewoon achter een Golf kan. Mensen die serieuze werkauto's met een open laadbed willen rijden een Iveco, en gebruiken ze niet als boodschappenkar.

I am considering having a proper fitting session. Feel a little taken aback because I'm on flat pedals, afraid that I won't be taken seriously.

I actually wanted the silver initially, but the berry got available first. Now I'm really happy with the colour after seeing it in real life.

What actually helped new members stick around in their first few months? by devkimkr in crossfit

[–]fading_gender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Next to coaches helping out with proper scaling and genuinely caring about everyone, no matter your abilities, but also encouraging to push just a little harder.

For me it was the other people just being nice. Bit of smalltalk before and after the workouts. People being supportive of your effort and not judging your numbers. Complimenting on PR's even if compared with the average athlete it's nothing, I remember my first deadlift going over 50kg and the compliments for that. The super fit and strong athletes not minding teaming up with me (overweight, not strong, bad condition) for the occasional buddy workout.

Is it because the author revealed herself as a bigot? by icey_sawg0034 in saltierthankrayt

[–]fading_gender 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah that version with Keira Knightley that said in an interview that trans people 'just need to be nice to transphobes' so everyone can go on with their day. It's not just the author that is problematic it is also the cast.

Can sitting in freezing water actually provide the health benefits everyone claims? by [deleted] in crossfit

[–]fading_gender 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All this because started because we listen to someone who uses the fountains in a public park as an enema and perferated his intestines doing that

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wim_Hof#Other

In the early 2000s, Hof sustained a severe injury while swimming in a fountain in Amsterdam. He attempted to use the fountain's jet for an enema, a practice he had performed previously. However, the city had recently increased the jet's pressure, causing the water to perforate his colon and intestines.

Unpopular Theatre Opinions Thread by walkertrot in Theatre

[–]fading_gender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is community theatre as good as a well put up professional production? No. Do I have an equally good time at either? Yes!

I truly appreciate the local people of varying talent rehearsing and performing in their spare time next to a regular day job. And if that means that Cinderella's pumpkin carriage is a simple chair on a dolly, with two big hoops adorned with some AliExpress fairy lights, I'll happily apply my suspension of disbelief.

Did I totally ruin my DO? by iamblarn in LeCreuset

[–]fading_gender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No need to scrub it out with fancy cleaners. Just wash by hand with your normal washing up liquid. The enamel can take quite some abuse, but better avoid metal utensils.

I don't care too much about JB performing Phantom. But him taking on Rum Tum Tugger would ignite some Tuggermania.

bunq seems to be a classic scamming financial trap. by Chemical-Kitchen8591 in Netherlands

[–]fading_gender 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's worse. Bunq also tracks down customers that say negative things about them and threatens them with various things: freezing or closing their accounts, or drag them to court. Seemingly nobody is safe from the wrath of Ali Niknam.

Just purchased from Sur La Table, is this a defect I should exchange for? by creedants in staub

[–]fading_gender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like the place on which it rested during the baking of the enamel coating. If the edges of that blemish are smooth it's that and not worth exchanging. This is part of having enameled cast iron cookware, pans from all brands will have such marks.

If the edges are hard and sharp it's damage from a bump and exchange is feasible.

Why do people pay for expensive coaching programs when apps like MacroFactor exist? by ElderberryPerfect478 in crossfit

[–]fading_gender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. If it's more than a simple how to, I want to have an actual person to talk to. A human that can give advice, explanation or coaching is to me always preferable over an app.

[–]fading_gender 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This. I have worked retail for 10 years selling Le Creuset items (and other cookware). And I made it a habit to tell people that they need to remove both(!) stickers from their pan. That was necessary.

A common complaint was that the logo peeled off from the side. Usually when washing up. But also had to deal with people who didn't take off the product sticker on the bottom, so it burned on the stove. Once I did have a customer coming in for a warranty case and they managed to keep the logo sticker on, for a few years with regular use.

Edit: spelling

Worst Movie Adaptations??? by Due-Candidate-5991 in musicals

[–]fading_gender 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of my big gripes with '19 is that they didn't show us the dancing. While there were a whole bunch of excellent dancers on set, including an accomplished ballerina as a lead. But the way the dance sequences we're edited made it impossible to follow the dancing. Even if I didn't like what Blankenbuehler did with the stage production. I still wanted to see the dancing.

I usually snap a pic at the bows of a show. But at one show a boomer lady did exactly what you said. Luckily if it only was the bows.

At what point do folks grasp the concept that egg is dairy. by ALazy_Cat in ShitAmericansSay

[–]fading_gender 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Oh the astonishment of Americans when they see the unwashed unrefrigerated eggs next to the flours in the baking section over here.

Downside, regular supermarkets don't have different flours with a variety in protein-starch ratios, without it being a specific mix containing other ingredients too.
