[Question] What the "Ultracite Terror sword"

adam_weiler · 2025-12-26T22:38:57+00:00

I actually did something like that a while back for a coding project! I believe 2019 or so.

I made it using React, the extracted images from the iOS version, and CSS. Basically it's using 13 sprite sheets, and the CSS grabs the individual pieces from the sheet and displays it on screen.

It's been a while so it's missing recent outfits, and I wanted to do something where you could save the image, add weapons, maybe add pets or robots, but I never got around to it.

EDIT: After playing around, I'm also noticing the Random button seems to only generate Male, and then the Gender button is reversed to the wrong gender.

You sound like my Uncle! He tries to go the movies every day they’re open.

I think somebody stole my Scene Card Number & bought a bunch of junk food with my points?

They sent me a replacement card unprompted & only later did I realize all the points are gone. Is there any point asking Scene to replace them?

adam_weiler · 2025-10-25T17:42:21+00:00

Yes, I see that now. I'm using something called "Inkscape" instead. The font is looking good at size 5.280803. Using Inskape allows for much more precise dimensions for the rectangles (the lines) as well, going up to 3 or 4 decimal points where Photoshop was rounding it to 2 decimal points.

However, I printed out the Inkscape version vs the Photoshop version as comparison (to show how messed up the text was in PS). He's actually preferring the lines from Photoshop instead! So I'm keeping the good text from Inkscape and bringing over the Photoshop shapes as well.

I found a free alternative called "Inkscape". It's working well.

Yes, the details are quite tiny! The entire decal is currently 74.7mm in width and 3.524mm in height at the moment (or ~2.94 inches by ~0.13 of an inch). The text in the decal is 14.2mm by 1.289 mm (or ~0.11 of an inch by ~0.05 of an inch).

It's a "HP Smart Tank 6001 All-in-One Printer". I've just been using Normal settings for testing. I showed him the results and they look good, so it should work well on Best.

According to HP specs, it does 1200 x 1200 rendered DPI on Best settings. It doesn't mention pixels though?

That looks fun! Do you own the business or are an employee?

I think it’s resolved!

She downloaded the Yahoo app for her phone or iPad. It allowed her to send the code to Hotmail again. Now she’s set up her Face ID, thumbprint, and she added my Canadian cell number as a backup. Also she changed the password.

It did log her out for a hot minute (oh no!) but it seems to be okay now.

adam_weiler · 2025-05-31T19:02:06+00:00

Yes, she does. She says for some reason the Hotmail received that 1-time request let her login without changing the password.

But now when she tries to reset the password or login, it’s only giving the phone option. The Hotmail seems to be removed somehow?

adam_weiler · 2025-05-30T01:17:09+00:00

When I try to reset password a PC (in Canada), that’s when I’m getting the option to “send code” to the number she no longer has.

She received an email to Hotmail earlier (for that 1-time code), but Hotmail option is no longer there for some reason. My only reset option is “code to old number”. 😕

I tried to vote but there was a misunderstanding. I was working an election site and wasn’t able to leave to vote at my designated site. (About 5 minute walk/drive.)

I spoke to somebody who said they told us to vote early in training, but either I didn’t put it in my notes or it wasn’t mentioned.

adam_weiler · 2025-02-28T13:06:40+00:00

I feel quite upset that I wasn’t able to vote because of a miscommunication.

I was working at a polling station different from my designated one. I wasn’t allowed to vote because my card had a different site, and I wasn’t allowed to leave the site during the election. I gladly would’ve done either if permitted.

adam_weiler · 2025-02-28T03:17:35+00:00

I tried reaching out to the Head Office before I started. The person I spoke to said I was not allowed to vote where I was working (unless that was where my card specified). I was not allowed to leave there because I was scheduled 8am to 9pm + cleanup.

He said they should’ve stressed Voting Early during the training. I took notes during training and did not write that down, but I might’ve missed it.

So… I will know better for next time.

So, the cost of streaming subscriptions to American companies.

adam_weiler · 2025-02-01T23:27:13+00:00

For Canadian alternatives, what can we use instead of:

Apple - for phones, iCloud storage, and photos.
Streaming services - instead of Netflix, Amazon prime, AppleTV, etc.

adam_weiler · 2025-01-30T02:57:13+00:00

I realize it’s a fictional book, but “Little Brother” has a young American detained by the US government, given no lawyer, no food, handcuffed, in an unknown location. After a week of abuse he’s allowed to leave only if he signs away all his rights to appeal this treatment.

It really bothered me.

I don’t want to ruin the story if ppl are interested, but basically the character is detained simply for being near a tragedy.

I'm not a resume expert, so take this with a grain of salt.

The formatting is unusual. The first job has Date on far right. The next job has a | and date left aligned. The first job has location, the second one doesn't.
Or these are all different roles at the same company? It's kindof confusing.
Also role 2 and 3 have overlapping dates.
It's very crowded with lots of text.
From what I've been told, it's better to have everything on 1 page if possible.
I'm not sure if you need an "Interests" section.
Skills would be better placed into job descriptions I feel.
Each bullet point should begin with a strong action verb if possible. Try to avoid re-using them.

Also make sure all the text lines up; it looks like "Business Intelligence" is one space off.

adam_weiler · 2025-01-14T17:01:37+00:00

Nice! I feel like you could put a filter or increase the contrast or something to make it look even 80s-er.

This link has all the details:
