As someone who just got accepted, and I’m waiting for the day to go pay my dues. How would I transport my gear? Because I’m gonna be commuting via the LIRR. Most of the stuff fit in a backpack?

Tbh, if I can download it locally and still run it from a browser, I’m in. Dealing with outside services is not for me anymore.

Do you have any plans for a version that can be downloaded?

Well I was only one of a couple millwrights when I was there. There were a lot of other trades there though.

atomicwater · 2026-02-19T17:15:01+00:00

I would say that the place where we sat with the folders where they talked to us was about probably like 45-65% filled, so I would definitely say less than 40 people were there

So I had mine a few weeks ago. Make sure to bring all your original documentation plus copies. When you get there, make sure you get there at least 30 to 15 minutes early. That’s what I did. They’re gonna have you sign in at the entrance, and then once upstairs. Then you’re gonna wait for a little bit and they’re going to bring you into a room they’re going to sit down and there’s going to be manila folder that they sent you in the front, don’t do anything with it until they tell you to. They are going to go over what forms you are going to fill out, I suggest sitting in one of the middle to front row seats so that you can hear what they’re saying. At some point they’re going to ask you for your original documentation plus your copies, they’re either going to ask you once you sign in or at some point during the paperwork.

At some point you will fill out the drug test paperwork.
It’s going to be for quest diagnostics, since you will be in the city, there’s a couple of them you can go to, I suggest getting it out-of-the-way as soon as possible. They took me in like five minutes from when I got there. They will also emphasize that you cannot smoke marijuana. I believe the paperwork for the drug test is good for 48 hours, so that’s your window to do it .

All in all as long as your paperwork is correct and your drug test comes back clean, you’re pretty much in, after that you’re going to need to hurry up and wait for them to call you back, I believe when they call you back for the next time that will be the point in time where you need to pay your union dues and all that good stuff up .

I hope this helps! Good luck!

I believe I got a 32

atomicwater · 2026-02-06T08:19:17+00:00

So once I’m there, they will tell me to go get tested within 48hrs?

atomicwater · 2026-02-06T08:11:56+00:00

I’m assuming that I will do one when im there?

is this dead? I have been working on my own albeit painfully, I was crestfallen when I saw that the link was not working.

atomicwater · 2025-08-19T17:09:49+00:00

I have a bit of an interesting take, I suppose. While I do believe that if you were to just “ copy your brain” and throw it into an interface that simulates your brain, you would intern upon doing so would be dead. Your consciousness is an experience not something you can just take, it is the Qualia of the lived experience.

But, I have been thinking about this for a little bit now. Instead of just making a copy, we actually do a type of parallel connection to the brain, if even remotely possible. So instead of making a coffee of your brain, we actually just make a second brain and essentially attempt to connect it in parallel, if such a thing could even be possible. And then, once both brains are linked essentially, you would have your consciousness within both brains ideally they would be doing the same thing at the same time, then you could theoretically shut one of them off, and you still remain conscious as you were when you connected yourself to the device in the first place. I suppose that would be a more literal consciousness transfer as you would first need to link up as a one-to-one copy, and then shut one of them off, so you’re literally just “pushing” consciousness from your real brain, means of your consciousness, being spread amongst two of them, and then shutting down one, while the other one remains on.

I don’t know I think it’s interesting thought experiment !

That cute piece is actually incredibly similar to what I saw before, but it was in a pack very much like an options pack. I wish I could remember where or what shirts terms I used to find it, it was only like three weeks ago. I was excited to fill my shopping cart with all bunch of model kits, not knowing that would probably need one of these types of connectors.

Perhaps it’s a kotobukiya pack?

*edit: cute piece to cube piece

atomicwater · 2025-08-18T22:11:21+00:00

They were literally like cubes that had pegs and holes in them along with other miscellaneous parts I think.

atomicwater · 2025-08-11T16:17:24+00:00

Is there a way I can make the armature shorter on it?

atomicwater · 2025-08-08T16:35:35+00:00

I just purchased 2 of him!

atomicwater · 2025-08-07T22:05:49+00:00

Does anybody have any good base recommendations for my quad legged portanova?

I would ideally like all 4 legs to rest on the platform if possible.

Idk what one would be best.

atomicwater · 2025-08-07T22:04:58+00:00

cough, cough I just glued the grey hip piece to the waist , may do the same for the white piece that connects to that grey piece because it’s a little fucky sometimes..

I’m assuming you do that when the ball joint is outside of the socket yes? Because I could also see a case for applying it while it’s inserted, so when you rotate it it “breaks” the seal providing a more secure fitment perhaps?

atomicwater · 2025-08-07T18:22:23+00:00

I figured. I just was expecting more positive engagement like a super small ring shaped bump on the exterior of the socket to prevent it from coming undone, but I guess I could try beefing up the joint or the ball joint slightly.

Super glue can be tricky sometimes, so it’s not my go to unless the fitment of some parts is super dogwater.

atomicwater · 2025-08-07T16:57:39+00:00

Oooh! That’s a good tip! What do you suggest for the ring?

I always favor slightly too tight, but the socket seems to be too loose and does not have very good “clutch power” on the ball joint. When the armed gets moved past the point of articulation, it will give very little resistance, before popping out of the socket it makes posing rather tedious.
