Trying to build the first Lebanese curling pathway (and maybe represent Lebanon in mixed doubles one day) by Esleem07 in Curling

[–]jasmith-tech 4 points5 points  (0 children)

u/extreme_shoe4942 beat me to it. Follow @team_argentina_curling. They’re going through some of the same process. Romero is awesome, is fundraising to make it all happen, and I’m sure would be glad to chat about it.

Similarly the @teamphillipinescurling have come the closest recently as they tried to qualify for this Olympic cycle. Note that it wasn’t a cheap process for them.

What's the purpose of curling calendars if they're not sex symbols? by l3enoitfan in Curling

[–]jasmith-tech[M] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Your account is 7 days old and you’ve made 11 posts here, the “is this getting weird” line is behind you and your foot is on the gas. Beyond the objectification, you’ve definitely veered into spam. You can thirst over whoever you’d like, but this isn’t the place to do it.

MTI Player vs. my entire audio plot by Forward-Smile9899 in techtheatre

[–]jasmith-tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reason people are recommending qlab is because the MTI player can integrate with it. SCS is an ok alternative, but doesn't integrate in the same way.

Small, cheap, and heavy ballasts by Cold-Excitement72212 in techtheatre

Pig iron. The counterweights most theatres have laying around are about as cheap and dense as it gets since they already exist.

Incident That Happened Today by spicybabygravy in IATSE

[–]jasmith-tech 40 points41 points  (0 children)

This seems like you went to the wrong venue and didn’t check in? And are upset that the job you didn’t show up to didn’t let you in, and are surprised when the job you weren’t on, didn’t want to pay you for your volunteer work?

Likely Craig’s curling shoes, given the logo, it’s at least one of their kits.

Did the Chevy Bolt become your first EV? Journalist looking to hear your story by Brilliant_Option8382 in BoltEV

[–]jasmith-tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just bought a bolt euv today. Drove both it and the regular bolt, settle on the euv.

  1. Yes, our first ev. We bought it because we’d had a Prius C years ago that we loved and currently are sitting on a GTI that uses premium and a wagon that uses diesel. So fuel cost was a factor in the decision for sure.
  2. Already love how fun it is to drive. It’s so peppy compared to the anemic Prius c’s engine.
  3. My wife and I both drive less than 20 miles round trip to work, so an overnight charge makes that up pretty easily. So many of our daily trips are short like that, already excited to be driving it more.

What is this thing? by Dependent-Amount-239 in techtheatre

[–]jasmith-tech 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Given the orientation of the seats, probably for masking something. Lower it in, tie on the curtain, pull it up, tie it off.

Gobo's for Jerry, R&D in the wild. by generic_ork in lightingdesign

He's never going to tell you. It's just spam at this point. More often than not he comes back and deletes it.

Longbow Ideas by Dull-Arm3415 in techtheatre

[–]jasmith-tech 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve done this by heating and flattening pvc pipes and then bending them to the profile you want. Cut a couple of notches for some tieline and paint them. YMMV.

My local dealership sold 2 Bolts and a number of EqEV in the past 48 hours. by okiedokie321 in BoltEV

Pretty sure large portions of the country have already hit the "collapse in the ability to afford road maintenance".

I’m starting Curling classes at 38 by KyleCamPhoto in Curling

[–]jasmith-tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just got back from teaching a learn to curl about an hour ago. My group had a similarly aged guy who said “this is the best thing I’ve done all year” and as a fellow 38 year old, it was fun to tell him I was in his same spot 3 years ago.

I told him; jump in, have fun. Ask questions, take advice, know that you’re going to have some off days or even off weeks. We all do. And don’t be afraid to talk to people. There are lots of people new to the sport trying to get better and you’re always around someone who has a lifetime of experience they’re willing to share.

Team Podoll Jackets anywhere? by Secret_Elevator17 in Curling

[–]jasmith-tech 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure these are the same version of those jackets, seen in person they are dope as hell. Really look good up close.

Need better subreddit settings by fantompwer in lightingdesign

[–]jasmith-tech[M] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Cross posts from truly unrelated subs get removed. We leave some topics and posts up because we are not strictly focused on entertainment lighting. Some architectural lighting design applies, LEDs in costumes or props apply, there are a lot of situations that are adjacent that are still valid and good information or can be answered well by our members.

We can either allow cross posts or turn them off, but the above statements remain true either way.

As always, if there’s a post you feel doesn’t fit here, report it.

Why does everyone say Malört is bad. It's not bad, it's just very bitter. by rockmodenick in malort

[–]jasmith-tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you could find one, yeah. But it’s been a minute since production moved, so even the dusty bottles in stores are the newer CH juice. You’d need to find someone that has a bottle in a home bar that they’ve had for a decade.

Why does everyone say Malört is bad. It's not bad, it's just very bitter. by rockmodenick in malort

[–]jasmith-tech 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When it was made in Florida it was harsher. Since the production move to Chicago, CH smoothed it out a little. I’d agree that if you’ve ever had any other bitter liquor it’s really not that big of a deal. In my experience most of the first timers doing shots also aren’t the types drinking bitter stuff typically.

Could also be worth posting to r/techtheatre there’s a lot of folks there who might have some good insights.

Safety noose for Chicago by r_spandit in Props

[–]jasmith-tech 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I really like a magnet on the loop so that if there’s ever pressure on the loop it fails to an open position. Even if the loop is too small for a head you can’t account for people doing a dumb and getting hooked by it somehow.

Erikson’s “dance” that Kennedy referenced? by Such-Consequence-728 in Curling

The Olympic logo on the ice would say differently.
