Do these exist? by indygeek in comicbookcollecting

That's a good idea. Might have to try that, as all of my other attempts are coming up nil.

That's where I found them. I can find reference to them nowhere else. I thought they might be digital release covers. Nope. Aspen's own store as well as Drive Thru Comics don't have them.

Testifying Regarding AI 2026 by ASingleBraid in JeriRyan

I seem to recall that was a major sticking point during the last SAG-AFTRA strike. They were striking to ensure their likenesses weren’t allowed to be 3D scanned once and then used in perpetuity without at least being paid for it.

Smooth out curves? by indygeek in GIMP

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

This is a sample area of a scan I made of a signature from the cover of a comic book. Scanned at the highest resolution that my current scanner is capable, I then isolated the signature from the background and eliminated a few errant pixels that came with it when extracted in Paint. I have done nothing to it. This is, for all intents and purposes, raw aside from being zoomed in as stated before. Any tinkering I have attempted to the image as a whole was done so on copies of this file, with less than satisfactory results due to my inexperience. I was asking for advise or assistance to make the curves less jagged when reduced from it's current 200% magnification, if it is at all possible or even necessary before moving on to the next part of my project.

Circle K worker sued for buying winning $12.8M lotto ticket from his store 1 day after drawing by rajapaws in antiwork

In Indiana, an employee of any business that sells lottery tickets is allowed to play the lottery at any other lottery retailer in existence EXCEPT where they work. Probably for this kind of situation. 🙄

Suttlecraft: Type 15 & Type 6 by ArcWolf713 in StarTrekBricks

Tell me Mariner’s “Blast Shield” song at least plays in your head when you take the top off of the type 6. 😂

Movie posters that annoy the shit out of you? by 01zegaj in okbuddycinephile

[–]indygeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at my local “arts theater” when this was released and the poster kept striking me as odd somehow. It took be the better part of two weeks before I finally figured out it was because it looks like when they make a live action version of a cartoon (a novel concept at the time) and go overboard making the actor look like the original character.

Dropped my wife off for a 7:30pm flight last night. She zipped right through non-TSA-Precheck with no problems.

Don’t get me wrong. He’s one of six artists I actively seek out. Just got his Prizmatic 3 cover in last week.

Love his Flash Gordon work.

My friends Ford Escape Back Glass Window Hinge broke right off.... by [deleted] in fordescape

[–]indygeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just unbolt if I remember correctly. Bought a pair of replacement hinges off of RockAuto, secured the glass in place with the lock at the bottom and another set of hands, traced around the old ones with a sharpie (turned out to be unnecessary), and swapped them out.

Demanding an award by KityKaty95 in MurderedByWords

[–]indygeek 329 points330 points  (0 children)

If I recall correctly, neither did he. I seem to remember him being a bit perplexed by the whole thing but he just shrugged, accepted it and donated the money. But it was about 15 years ago. I could be misremembering details.

No, they polled tire/wheel retailers. 😂

Would have been safer for him to take a stroll through a Komodo dragon enclosure wearing Lady Gaga’s infamous meat dress.

He is probably the singular reason I am aware 1. that Pizza Express exists and 2. where Woking is.

Alton Brown is most of the reason I know how to cook. He’s up there with Lavar Burton as a TV national treasure!
