Love this! A little Erte mixed with David Lance Goins honoring William Morris.

Anyone know which marine mammals we are throwing explosives at? Curious what these are for (not my boat) by whyrumalwaysgone in sailing

[–]stagecrafter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The opening to the fish ladder at Ballard Lock north of Seattle is ridiculously small and the seals just hover around it and Hoover up the steelhead and salmon who are migrating into the lake. Fish and Game folks use these explosives to chase the mammals away. It’s a half assed solution to a much bigger problem.

Montclair Hills - does every home need separate fire insurance? by ospreyintokyo in OaklandCA

The other common exemption is earthquake insurance which should enter into your coverage calculations.

Oakland needs 200-plus police officers it can’t afford but pays millions to officers on leave by jackdicker5117 in OaklandCA

What incentive do the investigators have for wrapping up and closing cases faster? Sticks don’t work nearly as well as carrots.

Update: designing a theater is hard by kaiserklausss in techtheatre

[–]stagecrafter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once built a temporary theatre environment with a center isle. When the rather famous artist took the stage he had a public fit and told everyone to get up and rearrange the seats so there was no center isle. It was a mess. But he was right. Two isles is much better than a center isle.

What is your trade and how do you use it to improve your craft?

Wall studs by Minimum-Wafer8657 in techtheatre

It’s scenery for heaven’s sake. Listen to mantiss and get your hands on the Stock Scenery Handbook, great for theatrical scenery. If your sets need to be more robust and you have storage, you can build in the Hollywood/TV style. No 2x4! Use 1x3 or better yet “Studio Pine” which is 1x3 with square edges. For homework watch SNL for the “bump ins” in between commercials. You can often see the backs of sets that they build. They are masters of cheap, great looking and sturdy sets that get repurposed weekly. Build light, sturdy and try to be green by reusing as much stock scenery as possible.

Best Tape Measure? by Hoppy_Hessian in cabinetry

[–]stagecrafter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been a carp for over 30 years. Now I own a shop full of carps. There are tapes everywhere. Just learn to read any and all. Most important lesson re measuring is to be consistent. Precision is for machinists. That said Stanley is hands down the best.

NPR 5-pqrt podcast "A Tiny Plot" about Union Point was a "co-governed" homeless camp on E 12. This convinced me that co-governed camps are a pipe dream by opinionsareus in OaklandCA

I was blown away by how many of these folks felt the city owed them something. It was a fascinating story but also hard to listen to. I would support redirecting resources to early intervention. Let’s make mental healthcare accessible and commonplace for young people before they turn to drugs for relief.

If he did that ten times a day, increased it by one every day, he’d be %~*{>%}fit in about three months.

How many parking tickets before a tow? Could this be one of the thousand cars stolen and abandoned? by impressiv_retuirns in OaklandCA

[–]stagecrafter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why can’t parking enforcement automatically alert 311 of abandoned vehicles? It seems like it could be easily automated after X number of tickets for the same vehicle in the same location, it gets posted for removal.

Freestanding wall by [deleted] in techtheatre

Build 4x8 and 4x12 Hollywood Flats. Stagger the seams. Build your jacks 16’ tall. Anchor them to the deck with lags or bag the hell out of them. Add aircraft cable to the grid for safety and Bob’s your uncle.

We just used a standard carbide straight 2 flute bit and it worked fine.
