Hi, I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question.

I'd like to see Fjord (which opened today) on Tuesday or Wednesday night. Looking at the AMC app, it's saying that no showtimes have been posted yet, other than a handful of times specifically at Lincoln Square.

Is this... a common app glitch? Or is the movie only playing at Lincoln Square?

I am trying to become a more frequent moviegoer so maybe this is common but I've never encountered it before.

Thank you!!

Edit - thank you all, makes sense!

I’m considering getting a puppy, and in all of the research I find about things like potty training, the techniques are almost entirely assuming you have a yard.

There are a handful of small threads in this sub over many years, but I would love to find a book, website, YouTube channel, newsletter… anything that’s specific to raising a well-adjusted puppy in an urban environment.

We’re obviously a very dog-friendly city, but it’s so hard to find the right references, particularly for early puppyhood before they’re fully vaccinated. I would love to understand how best to potty train when you’re living on a high floor without outdoor space (how do you “take the puppy immediately outside” when you have to wait for an elevator?? Does everyone really use indoor puppy pads until 16 weeks?), any tips on handling barking in apartment living, etc. And obviously there’s a lot more to dog ownership than potty training, but it seems to be the most city-unique issue that isn’t covered in most how-to books.

Appreciate any help!

This is so niche, but you never know… there are a lot of people in NYC.

I’ve been craving El Centro’s chilaquiles like crazy, but they sadly closed two years ago. They were a regular go-to for me, and the recipes for chilaquiles I’ve found online don’t really seem like the same thing.

If not a full recipe, if anyone knows what I’m talking about and can offer any suggestions about what made theirs unique (so I can try to adapt an existing recipe), I’d be so grateful!

I just watched the one where Phoebe buys Joey the drums and tarantula to try to drive Rachel out (TOWT Holiday Armadillo), and forgot how much I relate to Joey with the spider and his, "Is it on me?? I feel like it's on me!" because that is exactly how I would react.

The other one that I will embarrass myself and admit is Monica showing her guests how to click the caps on the markers. Not that I would ever do that if I was hosting a party, but I sure as hell would be thinking it lol

What are yours?

I have no problem spotting in things like chaines or pique turns, but for some reason I really struggle with it in pirouettes.

Is there a meaningful difference worth knowing about? Anyone have an aha moment where it clicked? An analogy?

I think it's because I'm trying to do either a perfect clean single turn or working on making my doubles consistent (some days they're spot on, some days it's like I've never turned before), but when I consciously focus on spotting it's like the speed of my head is messing with the speed of my body. The rhythm of it feels so different than a traveling turn.

For context, I'm a woman in my 40s and picked up dance class (jazz) again recently after dancing pretty regularly from childhood through college. I'm in good shape physically, minus making myself motion sick these days when I turn without spotting lol

Hello - I'm going to Rwanda and will be doing a gorilla hike, which is through rough brush including stinging nettles.

I'm looking specifically for (ideally water resistant) women's leggings/tights rather than looser hiking pants, as you're supposed to pull your socks over the pants and then wear gaiters over both to keep the ants out. They also need to come in a neutral color (e.g. not black or bright colors) for safari conditions.

Any suggestions?? I'm not a hugely experienced hiker and the internet is overwhelming - I'm not 100% sure what I'm looking for. Thank you!!

I’m on a grocery shopping lesson (level 23), and just learned that plátano is the word for banana, and chorizo is the word for sausage.

But…chorizo is obviously a specific kind of sausage, and I’ve always said plátanos when ordering plantains? (I don’t speak Spanish (yet), just grew up in a big Cuban immigrant city so know the foods by their Spanish names.)

Is this just Duolingo oversimplifying? How would you distinguish if you were actually at a grocery store and looking for sausage that’s not chorizo, or looking for plantains vs bananas? Is it context? Regional?

Also, just to tack on, I was taught “baloncesto” for basketball in one of the earliest lessons, and now it’s switched to “básquetbol”. Are they interchangeable?

Gracias!

I haven’t seen a current, active thread on this so if there is one, apologies.

***Spoilers, of course, if you want to stay totally unspoiled***

But now that the Tonys are tomorrow and cast and crew have been sharing rehearsal stories and reels over the last couple of days, what have we deduced?

From other threads and social it seems like:

—Jellicle Ball is doing a custom mashup but anchored in Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats
—Lost Boys is doing No More Monsters into Have to Have You
—Two Strangers is doing American Express

And we know there will be a splashy opening with Pink that features most/all of the shows from this season if not more?

Plus the Chicago and Book of Mormon anniversary performances, which sounds like will be medleys.

Do we know any others? Ragtime? Schmigadoon? Rocky Horror? Titanique?

I have zero patience haha. Thank you!

Hi - I got two new external hard drives to back up my media collection. They're identical Seagate exFAT drives.

One I named "TV Library" - no problem.

The other (again, identical drive), it will not let me name "Movie Library" or "Movies Library" or "Film Library." It took "Movies" but I'd really prefer not to call it that to distinguish from my internal folder. It did take "MV Library" but that's a ridiculous name.

It's telling me it uses an unacceptable character or that the name is too long, but I can't fathom that "Movie Library" is actually too long a name for a drive??

Any ideas?? I'm on Tahoe 26.2. TY!

Hi - I've been redownloading a bunch of movies & TV shows that I've had in my library for ages, in an effort to update the quality.

I've seen a number of them recently that seem like they should be excellent (1080p, mostly things like romcoms that don't need a 2160p BluRay remux), but many of them - when I watch through Plex + Infuse - get garbled in the video sporadically. Audio is perfect, video when not garbled is perfect, but then it's like blue glitchy graphics for a few seconds before going back to clear. I tried opening the same files directly in QuickTime to see if it was a Plex/Infuse issue, and those same spots, instead of glitching blue, just freeze for a few seconds (again, only video, audio plays through perfectly). I'm wondering now if it might be only mp4s rather than mkvs doing this - I haven't paid enough attention to the specifics.

Is there a certain file type that tends to do this? Tbh I never know what I'm looking at with all of those abbreviations in the file names, other than the resolution, and whether it has the words "remux" or "Dolby" or "BRRip" in them. (And have no idea why some files are significantly bigger or smaller than others that are the same resolution and not remuxed.)

I am on an up-to-date Mac with good fiber internet, downloading through qBittorrent.

Appreciate any help! I'm hoping maybe this is a known issue and it's just a matter of avoiding X filetype? Thank you! (Please ELI5!)
