Can you make a custom Halloween costume?

I am a dad of a 14-year-old angel and she wants to dress up as Olivia Rodrigo in the music video The Cure for Halloween.

From my search on the Internet is costing does not exist and in the interest of trying to be the best dad of the whole time, mind you this is post divorce so this is very important to me, I am reaching out to see if anybody can create that costume for us.

I have custody of my daughter this weekend so I would be able to bring her over for a measurement and fitting. It is essentially a pink nurse’s outfit and I think the red yarn would be fitting. You can watch the video for inspiration and ideas if you like.

Please let me know if there is somebody out there who thinks that they could accomplish this.

Hookah store?

I want to buy a hookah but I don’t see any stores in the area. Am I missing something or is this just not popular in Washington?

I used to have a great gel-cooled hookah and I really miss smoking it. It’s something I’d rather buy in person if I can, rather than online.

Racewall Mosquitoes- Redneck

I heard this song today and it completely stopped me in my tracks. (I’m a big Neil Young fan)

I can’t find the lyrics to this song anywhere. Google says they’re available on Spotify but when I click the link there’s just a playlist.

Does anyone know where I can find the lyrics?

There’s an honesty in the singers voices that is very attention grabbing.

What do I need to work on to fix my inability to sing loud words with the letter e in them?

I have a deep voice, much like Eddie Vedder or Gavin Rosdale. I am in weekly lessons but you can only do so much in 30 minutes. I have noticed significant improvement since starting. I’m still super new.

When I sing Elderly Woman [BACIAST] I think I do pretty well, except for the part that says “Never dreamed you’d return.”

When I sing the sounds the letter e make in this song it’s like my voice is blocked or muffled. I’m sure my instructor can help, and I will ask him for help.

I came here hoping someone might have a suggestion like an exercise I can do to fix this part of my ability that is lacking. Please and thank you.

Kind of need artist suggestions for practice.

I’m taking singing lessons, which is an extremely emotional step for me to take because I have wanted to do this for 10 years. I just couldn’t afford it.

I have a deep voice. Not like chocolate rain, I think it’s just a typical male voice.

The only artists that I can sing right now which sound decent are Bush and Pearl Jam. I can sing glycerin and elderly woman behind the counter in a small town fairly well. At least, better than I could before I started taking lessons.

My problem is that I am singing the same songs all the time after my warm-ups because these are the only artists that I know of that sing in these keys. When I use the word keys, I don’t even know if I am using the right term because I know so little about music and tone and pitch and keys.

I would love some recommendations for some artists that I can look through their discography and find some songs that I could sing, given my abilities and limitations.

I apologize if I have done a terrible I’ve been describing any part of this.

What happened on SE Campus Drive today?

Edit: SW Campus drive by 21st. I can’t edit the title.

The police and tape made it look like worst case scenario. It looked like an episode of The First 48.

Fun activities for summer vacation?

I’ve only lived here about two weeks and I’m trying to find things to do with my daughter during my two weeks of custody for summer break. I want it to be a really positive experience because we haven’t done anything in the area yet.

There’s indoor skydiving up near Bellevue that I think we’re definitely going to do.

We play Mario Kart all the time, and I looked up the Puget Sound go kart association, but they don’t have a single event during my custody.

I just found out the waterpark closed. So I guess that’s a no go.

We might as well drive up to Rainier, but I don’t know how fun that will be for a teenager. Same for the Hoh Rainforest.

I don’t own any camping equipment. I never have.

There’s a beach I read about by Brown’s Point but when we got there, it was so small and it was freezing.

Looking for ideas. Any help is appreciated. I should probably look at concerts in the area.

Last year we went to a food festival in Seattle around this grassy area with this giant water spout thing. But I think that was closer to August or September.

We saw Laufey that climate pledge Arena and had the time of our life. She wants to see Melanie Martinez, but I don’t know if I can afford the tickets if she comes to Seattle.

AI Denoise DNG file not saving "anywhere?"

I've been on this rabbit trail over an hour. Using Lightroom Cloud 6.2 after generating a denoised image, the progress bar reaches 100% and dissappears. Nothing else shows up, as if nothing happened at all. I am left with my original RAW image. The ONLY way I can find the product is to go to the grid view (G), then enter the image name into the search-bar without the file extension, then it finds the DNG image. I can't find anything in the info panel (I) that tells me where it's saved, if it's saved at all.

I have read many others having the same problem too. Am I dumb, or am I missing some critcal piece to the puzzle?

Costumes and beds on the beach.

In 2007 or eight I met a girl in Seattle and we went out for drinks. She got free drinks because of her last name which I only mentioned in case her or one of her friends reads this.

After the bar, we went to a beach to watch the sunset and two our surprise there were people in costumes dancing around beds. People had literally carried beds into the sand and set them down, and I don’t remember if they were dressed up as animals or if they were dressed up in white linens. This was so long ago, and I don’t want to mix this memory with something I may have seen in movies. But it really did happen. It would be amazing if anybody had a picture or a video of this event, and the two of us sitting on a log in the sand.

In case someone who was there is reading this and remembers, I was driving a white 1964 Chevy Impala and it was in the parking lot next to the sand.

How to measure dryer electric usage.

Hello. I see the Kill A Watt on Amazon to measure the electric usage of my appliances, and I want to buy it, however, I am specifically interested in the electric usage of my dryer being there is no gas in my building. I am in an apartment and my only option for the dryer and the water heater is electric.

I went to trade school for seven weeks and I was only home Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I switched all of my breakers off and left the refrigerator with power for this duration of time and my electric bill was still $90. Which is about a 35% drop from the previous month.

Is there some sort of adapter or something I can use for the clothing dryer?

I can't find the song anywhere. I am fairly certain that this is a song that me and my friends used to listen to in 2007. I specifically remember thinking that this was sung by an African-American artist and about five years later finding out that I was probably wrong. For quite a long time I thought that there were two artists that went by the same name, French Montana.

Somewhere on one of my external hard drives I have a video of us partying and listening to this song I just have to sift through it to find it. I can't find it on YouTube anywhere and I can't find the lyrics for it either. I suppose it's possible that on one of our burn a cd is the song was given the wrong name but I can hear the song in my head and it says something like "Ughhhhhhhhhhhh" in the beginning of the song.
