How Often Do Broadway Flops Return as a Hit? in c/Musicals@kbin.social
[–] Emotional_Series7814@kbin.cafe 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's an interesting article though the headline is a bit of a misnomer, as some of these shows were actually hits in their original runs (ie shows which recouped their investments), which went on to become bigger hits when revived, or flops (ie shows which lost money for their investors) which went on to become smaller flops.

Thank you for pointing this out!

Also,

(“Flop” is a technical term for a show with a relatively short run that doesn’t make its investment back—and not necessarily meant as a reflection of the artistry of a given work.)

I honestly had no idea, I thought it also got used as "shows that were bad" at least colloquially.

This show sounds so interesting, I love period drama. I also don't keep up with entertainment news outside of m/Musicals, so thank you for bringing to my attention!

(Back to kbin.cafe… the instance I ran away to hasn't worked for a couple days.)

Question for knitters in c/knitting@lemmy.world
[–] Emotional_Series7814@kbin.cafe 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I’m still new enough I can’t make needle recommendations, but my first project was a garter stitch scarf. 10 stitches on size 13 needles… yeah… that wasn’t much of a scarf.

when my mom tried to teach me to cast on for knitting I went cross eyed.

Similar experience to you with learning how to crochet. Right now all I can do is a chain stitch. And nothing else. No adding any height to the chain, just making a single long chain.

Not sure how much of this is a real trend and how much of it is just me pattern-matching, but everyone I know has also been getting sick. And exactly 1/5 of the actors in the show I’m doing now got COVID (although thankfully they got better by tech week).

30 October is National Wicked Day in the United States in c/Musicals@kbin.social
[–] Emotional_Series7814@kbin.cafe 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wasn’t sure why this musical specifically was getting a day. There have been other, more long-running shows that don’t have a day as far as I know. Then I read the article.

WICKED is seen by more people each week than any other show, making it Broadway’s most popular musical, partially due to the fact that the Gershwin Theatre is the biggest theatre on Broadway. The theatre is a full city block with 1,926 seats!

If they don’t mean just the most popular musical running now, but the most popular musical period, yeah, makes sense this one is getting a day.

Mean Girls Musical Movie Adaptation Gets Theatrical Release Date January 2024 in c/Musicals@kbin.social
[–] Emotional_Series7814@kbin.cafe 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some of the songs were enjoyable, but the forced stars motif that’s only introduced at the end and the way the musical seemed to beat you over the head with its message in contrast to how the movie did it nice and subtly? The dramatic Bond villain songs for Regina when she was less upfront FUCK YOU BITCH and more sneaky about her cruelty?

I don’t want to see the movie adaptation of the musical. Just stick to the original movie.

But it’s a good thing that proshots are becoming more prevalent, this is great for making theatre more accessible to people who don’t live near too many performing arts venues and people who don’t have the money to afford this tickets.

I thought I had a friendly tone and was being nice. I really did not intend to come off as aggressive. Rereading this I see how it can come off sarcastic and condescending instead of the friendly informational tone I was going for. Sorry.

Admin of my instance seems to have gone inactive, looking to migrate to a small instance with an active admin (kbin.cafe)
 

I’d like to help out with decentralization, with users not all gathering in one place, so I don’t want to go to kbin.social or fedia.io. I did look at fedidb.org and the list of instances there, but it doesn’t tell me if the admin is active. I could just visit every instance listed there and check the admin’s profile for activity, but I figure putting this message out and seeing who replies is a pretty good test of which kbin instances have an active admin that takes me less time.

EDIT: Also saw this from Ernest, he’s eventually going to make sure abandoned instances have admins, so that’s good news.

Thank you for trying to think of us, but I wasn’t asking for help at all so I’m not sure why I was tagged with @. I also barely use plugins.

I’m a woman, and although some technological things are interesting I’m not quite a tech nerd and definitely not a Linux one. Linux seems cool but I’m too lazy to make the jump. MacOS and/or Windows serve well enough for me.

I also have several different Threadiverse accounts and try to post frequently in niche communities I’m interested in, although not so frequently I become the only contributor and it feels spammy.

This is answered on the Obsidian help page. TL;DR: it automatically updates. Version is in the upper left corner of Settings -> About.

Found knitting patterns for charity: Warm Up America! (kbin.cafe)

I had no idea what to knit so I asked some people on this community for some help in this thread. Someone suggested I knit for charity, and look up what the charities want for inspiration. Actually found something that the rest of you might want to know about, especially since it comes with patterns! They’re for the 7 x 9 inch squares you can donate to the charity. Here’s the link to the patterns on the charity’s website. Charity is Warm Up America! I have no affiliation with them besides what I mentioned in this post.

Mods, let me know if this is too promotional and I’ll take it down.

EDIT: link to patterns is now broken, here's an archive.org link to the same place

Can I create a magazine, then step down from a moderator position? (kbin.cafe)
 

I do not have the time, patience, or thick skin needed to be a moderator. I do have a community or two I’d like to create on Kbin and post to, though. Is it currently possible for this set of steps to happen?

  1. Create a magazine, which automatically makes you its moderator.
  2. Appoint another moderator.
  3. Either remove yourself as moderator, or have the other moderator successfully remove you.

How do you personally use Obsidian? (kbin.cafe)
 

I go against recommended practice and have different vaults for different things in my life. The academic note vault is separate from the personal vault is separate from the creative projects vault. I have also committed sacrilege by not having many notes linked to each other. I’m trying to migrate a lot of notes from Google Docs and Notion over into Obsidian, so all of the vaults are pretty messy.

I love the LaTeX integration. Lots of math formulas in the academic note vault. I use the callout feature everywhere. I also nest callouts in callouts. I’m frankly treating them as equivalent to toggles in Notion.

I most often go to the personal vault where I have a list of things I’ve 1) seen online before, 2) spent at least an hour trying to refind that thing later and 3) will probably want to find again. This way I don’t lose time trying to find it again. It’s really helpful for me. I also have a list of food brands and how much I liked them, so I can remember which brand of turkey was bad and which was tolerable and which I’d definitely buy again.

How do I view a post made on one instance from my instance? (kbin.cafe)
 

I’m on kbin.cafe. Let’s use the top post of kbinMeta as an example.

https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/86614

When I access this same post from kbin.cafe, the link is instead

https://www.kbin.cafe/m/kbinMeta@kbin.social/t/2219/PSA-Upvote-is-not-an-upvote-like-you-are-used

So I can’t just change the kbin.social link to kbin.cafe and append an @kbin.social to the magazine name. I have to search for the post on kbin.cafe, which often won’t succeed if the magazine the post is on didn’t start federating over until after the post was made. I care about this because I would like to be able to interact with posts with my current account.

I can always just have a sock puppet account on kbin.social that I follow with my kbin.cafe account, and use the sock puppet to boost the post so I can access it on kbin.cafe. For me this is actually realistic option given that I made a kbin.social before I found out about kbin.cafe. But it feels dirty, and I would like to not have to constantly switch accounts to access one post or interact with it.
