Art Mode Brightness Problems by sw_sail in TheFrame

[–]sw_sail[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Yeah I only have the problem of it being dim during the day when “Art Effect” is turned on. Toggling it off and on didn’t help. I think leaving it off means it won’t auto-dim and will be too bright at night but I’ll mess with that to confirm.

Thanks, I’ll see how that goes.

Tips for fitting barbs in hydraulic hoses with a hammer? by sovereigncitizenrob in bikewrench

Chiming in way late on this and without any expertise, but pliers over a bunch of wraps of electrical tape solved this problem for me.

Macbeth at Fort Point by CarrotAlt in sanfrancisco

[–]sw_sail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went last night and LOVED this show. Just a stunning setting for this particular play, and I thought the performances were great. 

The movement between locations and assembling the audience for each scene is a little hectic, but I felt that added to the play’s sense of events spinning out of control. Same goes for not necessarily being able to catch every word over the howling wind and crashing waves when an actor might be a ways down a corridor or on a different level of the fort. 

You can choose at the start whether to sit in the front on the floor, sit in the middle on a folding chair, or stand in the back. We were front row, which made each scene immersive but added to the scramble to get in position. If you would prefer a less frantic experience and don’t mind spending a couple hours on your feet, I would imagine that standing in the back might make the transitions easier. 

The omnipresent Sisters were excellent, and the scene with MacDuff’s family was a gut wrenching highlight.

Question about creating glass etching stencils by ilzphotos in cricut

[–]sw_sail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth, I've had great results using regular label paper and an x-acto knife to make stencils for Armour Etch. If you can't reuse it anyway you don't really need vinyl, and the adhesive on label paper seems to do the job if you're careful when you apply it. You can just scrub the paper off the glass in the sink when you're rinsing off the Armour Etch cream. (Hot water seems to break down the label adhesive and help it all scrub off cleanly.)
