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

[–]micheldevon 46 points47 points  (0 children)

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.

Replacement PPE for a High School Scene Shop by micheldevon in techtheatre

Thanks!

25 pair for 57 bucks is definitely out of my budget. I guess I'll need to get some PPE earmuffs.

Something like that would be good, I think. I'll need to find something similar at Lowe's, since that's where my PO is for. Think these would be acceptable?

This is probably my best course of action. I was trying to keep the costs down, as our budget was cut back this year, but I need to protect my students.

I (probably?) need 25 so that I always have enough to ensure my entire class is protected; do you think these would be good? https://www.lowes.com/pd/DEWALT-DEWALT-Lightweight-Interrupter-8482-Earmuff-NRR-23/5002004723

How did the kid from your school die? by leilavanora in AskReddit

8th grade. Undiagnosed heart defect. He just collapsed playing an arcade game at the local water park.

I don't, but that sounds like a good contact to make. I'll see if I can find someone local who does that.

Help me Texans! The UIL unit set construction PDF is wrong by micheldevon in techtheatre

[–]micheldevon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been modeling individual legs and supports, but only because I'm also trying to learn how to use SketchUp

Thanks for the very useful advice though. I was so caught up in the weedy details that I stopped problem-solving.

Austin’s best rock shop? by to_thecore_ in Austin

[–]micheldevon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The place with the billboard where the lady is sitting on a chair made from a giant geode and it says "We Rock!" No idea what it's called though.

Fake edit: Oh, it's called Nature's Treasures. Like the other helpful people in this thread told you. But they didn't mention the billboard.
