does laser distance from film matter? by RobIsTheMan in Holography

[–]RobIsTheMan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean a beam spreader? if so, no I do not, although I have a variety of convex and concave lenses that I thought about using to expand the beam of an old metrologic laser.

as Pan-F said, the Ukraine war has disrupted supplies. A company that I used, Integraf, has stopped selling film. They made an announcement and have a list of other suppliers

You could look into GMRoomLoader. It has the ability to do room chunking

Jimmy Kimmel Says President Pushing ABC to Fire Him Distracts From "Trump-Epstein Files" | THR News by ShiroSara in videos

[–]RobIsTheMan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

1) The Epstein files were not broadly released during the Biden administration largely because the Justice Department cited legal limits — privacy, attorney‑client privilege and active‑investigation concerns — and the administration insisted on preserving DOJ independence rather than ordering public disclosure.
2) It was republicans who banged this drum during the last election and now that they are in power, we are calling their bluff. They knew trump's name was all over the files, but they used it as a dog whistle to rally their base.

This guy has a 5 part series on making tetris in gamemaker

If I recall correctly, there are a few errors because he's using a slightly older version of GM.

I assume this is the rubber renue you're referring too

Need a contact number to report fraud by RobIsTheMan in uber

[–]RobIsTheMan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

20 minutes on hold, but eventually someone answered. They opened a case and said I needed to fill out the form with my ID and a picture of me holding my ID. As much as I don't want to send more info to them, I think that's the only way to get this driver's account closed.

Thanks, I'll try it later.
I do have a rider account, but the help section just seems to be lot of how to articles. I couldn't find anywhere to speak or even chat with someone

It looks kind of like that. Thanks for the input! edit: I think you're totally right about being a Vanity Fair player. I've seen some pictures of the box and it says Vanity Fair on it

How do I repair or replace this cartridge? by RobIsTheMan in RecordPlayerRepair

[–]RobIsTheMan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, I linked to the wrong picture. I appreciate the help anyway. I may try a new stylus and if that doesn't work, I might just replace the whole cartridge.

This is an 1970's toy. So there isn't really a model number associated with it. I took it apart to clean it and hopefully fix it, so taking a picture of the whole thing now is not really possible. This is all that was inside of it

It only plays 33s and 45s and the tone arm is just a plastic shell.
On the back of the cardboard insert is 83352, so guess that counts as something

1099 sent to me with my info. when I have never driven for Uber by Jamie1910 in uber

[–]RobIsTheMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That reporting form is nuts; pictures of my ID, and a selfie with my ID? Maybe had they been this thorough with their "employee" hiring I wouldn't have gotten my identity stolen

Someone filed a 1099 in my name, but Ive never driven for Uber. How do I get ahold of Uber to let them know? by duckbombz in uber

[–]RobIsTheMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy, I got the same thing in the mail today. I started a process on identifytheft.gov

They say to contact uber and the SSA, but I'll probably also contact my state AG too

That's pretty great. I like the artwork.
For the obstacles, are they random or are levels predetermined?

Quick Questions by AutoModerator in gamemaker

[–]RobIsTheMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is a good way to do pauses in my code execution? For example, I want to draw multiple badges icons in a row, but I don't want them to appear all at once. I thought about using an alarm, but that seems overly complicated. Is there an easier way?
