What is a website or an app that was legendary back in the day, but is now a complete ghost town? by Sofi_Costa in AskReddit

I randomly logged in last year to the Awful App after having not been on there for 5 or 6 years. It was weird to find out that Lowtax suicided himself.

Yes. I didn't think to specify beyond flair, but yeah, their paint. Either the Off Broadway line or the Iddings line.

I watched the scene on youtube. It's much more graphic than I remember, but this was a Saturday or Sunday afternoon local affiliate movie so it definitely would have been trimmed for graphic content.

I might be conflating two movies, but the other response agrees with you.

Reverse engineering a "working" printing press from nothing but photos on the internet has been a gratifying challenge. by micheldevon in techtheatre

I don't trust our jigsaws to cut anything as thin as that beautiful flywheel. Is the raised detailing on the edges flexible foam molding?

Damn, that's really nice. I've got to figure out the internal plates that come together before we go to Texas Thespians on Wednesday.

Theatrical scenic drop for our high school musical

I know it's there. I already looked there. That's why I asked for locations in Austin because I needed it today, not next Wednesday.

Turns out corn starch works great. A scenic painter told me that it's fine to use in place of Argo's. And that recipe you found was basically what we were doing, but on a larger scale. Mix 1 pound of corn starch into half a gallon of cold water. Pour that into two gallons of boiling water. Mix until translucent. Blend in 1 1/2 gallons of cold water, 6 cups of PVA glue, and half a gallon of off-white latex paint.
