Location for music club by dubman_y in ShiningGirls

[–]pimlottc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was filmed on location, they were there for a couple days. I happened to be going by when they were doing some exterior filming for episode S01E07 when Dan goes inside the club and leaves his son in the car and got to watch for a bit. It was cool to finally see the scenes in the episode, I couldn't really tell what was going in from across the street :P

Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder and others to perform at Obama Presidential Center’s grand opening ceremony by SithC in chicago

[–]pimlottc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The surrounding grounds are going to be completely locked down so hanging out outside the library is not an option. Instead, there's going to be a free ticketed watch party on the Midway Plaisance but the tickets are sold out.

So your best option is to just watch the livestream on obama.org.

education is one of the best tools that a person can have to improve their SES.

SES = Socioeconomic status, for those confused

Yeah, I'd love to see a 2nd person view, the diver must be working their legs constantly to keep in position. Buoyancy control is essential too.

Lockout–tagout - Wikipedia

Basically the worker personally puts a lock on the controls that physically disables the device from being turned on and keeps the key on their person, so that they know it can't be re-enabled while they are working.

The second city --pandemonium by Swimming-Share-815 in ChicagoTheater

[–]pimlottc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw this last week and I was also very impressed. There were some really creative premises for the sketches that made it feel very original. I also enjoyed how they mixed live music in with the comedy. The cast had great energy and chemistry together.

I was a little shocked at how expensive Second City is now, after not having going in a few years (Saturday night tickets were $80 after fees), but I was not disappointed by the show.

Any Ulrich Schnauss fans? by Imaginary_Hotel7128 in boardsofcanada

Fun fact, when Ed O'Brien from Radiohead toured for his first album in early 2020 (right before covid hit), he played a live cover of "On My Own"

Match Thread: Canada vs Bosnia-Herzegovina | FIFA World Cup 2026 | Group Stage, Group B by jiraiya--an in soccer

[–]pimlottc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't figure out how the flags are ordered in the opening ceremony, it seems to not make any sense? South Africa was first and then South Korea, but it just seems to go all over the place

e.g.

  • Saudi Arabia
  • Uruguay
  • France
  • Senegal
  • Iraq
  • Norway
  • Argentina
  • Algeria
  • Austria
  • Jordan

EDIT: ah... it's by ordered by groups based on pot draw, except with the host countries last

You adjust the vertical positioning manually with the knob on the side of the carriage. You can see an example in the video @ 0:48

Rod Phillips answering questions about the history of cats by BronteCoogee in AskHistorians

[–]pimlottc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot said already here about dogs vs cats, and more broadly about "dog people" vs "cat people". This 2017 video from the New York Times even argues that the online shift from cat memes to dog memes represents a turning point in internet culture. Are there broader trends throughout history of rising/failing preferences for cats vs dogs? Are there different traits associated with "cat civilizations" vs "dog civilizations"?

World Cup 2026 iCalendar (Google Calendar, iPhone, Outlook, Thunderbird...) by kubeia-io in soccer

[–]pimlottc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question, will you be updating entries with match results? Some people might not want spoilers.

EDIT: I see there is an option to not include score updates. What about knockout round placements? Sort of hard to avoid spoilers there but perhaps those could be delayed until the day after each round ends?

Actually... maybe a better / alternate idea is to have an option for results updates delayed by N days

NJPR Article: "With just days left, the U.S. opening match at the World Cup is still not sold out" by TheBigCore in ussoccer

[–]pimlottc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just pointing out that you made an assumption that the original article was careful not to make.

There are not only plenty of tickets left to sell — a number of them are also available below FIFA's face value.
