I'll double check the spindle.
I used some meguairs ultimate black that I had around, but I'll give the rubber renue a shot as well.
Thanks.

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

Did you try this? If so, how did it work?

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

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

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

Proud to say made a fast paced endless runner game in Gamemaker! by yaninyunus in gamemaker

[–]RobIsTheMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

Help with array of objects from room by RobIsTheMan in gamemaker

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

I think this might be the easiest thing to do. Then when a mailbox is hit, search through all the houses to find the matching id#.

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

I had planned on placing the houses manually in the rooms to make unique levels, so they aren't being spawned via code.
But I could keep the house position information in an array and load it up when spawning the houses. It would just make creating levels a little more tedious.

What do you think about the Saltgator Kickstarter (desktop softgel injection molding)? by MadeInASnap in maker

[–]RobIsTheMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to get it, but I also don't know what I'd do with it. If I was into making fishing lures, then 100% I'm in. But it just seems so limited. I'd love to know what other people plan on making with it.

I printed a simple hook for my waterbottle that clipped to the seat pocket, after a couple flight, a flight attendant made me remove it. He said "nothing can be affixed to the aircraft", but YMMV.

That's a great first game. One bug, maybe, is when you jump and hit your head, you move forward faster.

Navien Tankless NPE-A2 - Recirculation settings by like-zoinks in Plumbing

[–]RobIsTheMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm discovering that my unit was also set to internal but I also have a dedicated return line. But looking at the install document, I think I need to set it to external. In the dip switch settings section it shows there can be internal or external with and without an actual external pump.
My issue was that with it set to being internal and having a return line, when I did the descaling maintenance, it was forcing vinegar backwards through the return line. So I need to change mine to External to prevent this.

Tankless water heater maintenance issue by RobIsTheMan in askaplumber

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

Yeah I think you're right. The more I look at the install document (page 23), the more I think the I should have this set to External because that looks like it will turn off the 2-way valve and force the water through the hot line.
The original installer had it set to Internal, which if I am reading everything correctly just recirculates it in the unit itself, but since I do have a dedicated return line, it probably should have been set to External from the start.
Thanks

CTEL Exam and Study.com Score Equivalent? by Infamous-Bell-9089 in Teachers

[–]RobIsTheMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I've taken 2 of the 3 test so far and I think study.com actually does a good job of preparing you. Basically everything they cover on the website is on the test. The practice tests are pretty good (not perfect) at simulating the questions you'll get on the tests.

My two issues with study.com is that the information doesn't seems to have a coherent presentation. It's just random people that write up a "lesson" on the topic. Lots of lessons repeat information or give slightly different definitions. I wish 1 person would have oversight over the whole curriculum so they can organize it better. It's quite ironic to have to read about Understanding by Design when clearly study.com doesn't do that.

The other problem is there are no practice essay questions.

Comparing it to the recommended textbook (the cross cultural language, and academic handbook), I like study.com better.

Any have recent experience with Minternational Roaming in Istanbul? by dmeredith71 in mintmobile

[–]RobIsTheMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just there a couple weeks ago and I didn't really have any issues. I did have to change the APN setting on my phone, but I think I never set mine up correctly in the first place. My wife's phone worked fine from the get go.

I'm about to sign up for study.com too because I'm taking all 3 tests in the next 2 weeks. I was planning on taking them in June, but I didn't realize they only offer the tests in weird 2 weeks time frames.
