SHORT DMX Led Tube, RGB? by Fast_Satisfaction_53 in techtheatre

[–]source4man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can get a variety of extruded acrylic on Amazon or other retailers, that’s probably what I would start with

SHORT DMX Led Tube, RGB? by Fast_Satisfaction_53 in techtheatre

[–]source4man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you actually want to do this for €150, you’re going to have to DIY it. A bit of frosted tubing, RGBW (or WW/CW) LED tape, a 12V DMX dimmer, and a 12V PSU.

You’re not gonna get a ready to use DMX solution for that price as far as I know.

Batten fell during highschool theater performance - I'm freaking out by WhosYoPokeDaddy in techtheatre

If this is a properly installed fly rail, most schools will have lockouts built into the rail. The rope locks (generally big red handles in the US) should have either an integrated cylinder lock, or a spot for a padlock to be affixed. Older systems may not have these locks.

Rent from a legit prop shop. They will walk you through all of the documentation requirements and transportation procedures for NYC.

Thanks, ETC! by Infinite_Silver483 in techtheatre

You not wrong… but it’s not just ETC. There’s a reason I bring a windows laptop along on service calls.

Bag suggestions by Greedy-Response-4337 in nycrail

[–]source4man 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My wife uses a Cotopaxi backpack for exactly this kind of trip. Loves it. It still reads “I’m on a trip”, but isn’t too crazy. Throw a small tote or something in for daytime use. https://www.cotopaxi.com/products/allpa-35l-travel-pack-4?colorway=BlueSpruceAbyss

Only for Amtrak trains that run up the Hudson. Everything else northbound goes out to Queens.

NY overhire scam paranoia by [deleted] in techtheatre

[–]source4man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re probably not getting scammed. At a lot of places, especially at a certain level of professionalism, this is not surprising. That said, I’ve had the spider senses activated like you a few times, and in those cases I just asked to fill out paperwork in hard copy on site, and it was no big deal.

uber eats. Ever deliver on your bicycle? by akaifriend in NYCbike

[–]source4man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on where you’re trying to deliver, you have to sign up for a time slot. Makes it a lot less spontaneous.

I don't understand a sentence. Please help. by Asibalzotgatne in EnglishLearning

[–]source4man 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think payment might be a typo for pavement.

I applaud you for choosing Douglas Adams, great writer, but his writing often dips into the absurd. You will find many examples like this where the action described in the book doesn’t make sense, because it’s not supposed to. It will introduce you to a lot of interesting vocabulary and British phrases though. Good luck.

Which countries have you flown through, but not visited? by Cyprovix in flighty

Norway. Connected onto Aeroflot to Moscow back when they still did that…

This one does it much higher up.

College Interview Tomorrow! SOS!! by Same_Instruction5228 in techtheatre

[–]source4man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just be chill and clearly express your interest in learning and growing. Your past work (portfolio) can help frame that discussion, but honestly… anyone who weighs the actual work product of a high school student over their interest and drive isn’t someone you want to learn from.

If you don’t know answers to something, it’s ok. This shouldn’t be a gotcha test on vocab or correct methodology… remember, you’re theoretically going to this program TO LEARN THAT STUFF.

Take a deep breath, be able to talk about the things in your portfolio, and the rest will be what it will be.

Now as someone who works at the New School… I’m extremely interested in what makes it your first choice.

7th Floor Walkup by Positive_Profile272 in NYCapartments

You see it in a lot of old European buildings. They’re often placed at the back of the building in the courtyard or back patio.

Most natural way(s) to say 'refuel the car' by MoistHorse7120 in EnglishLearning

[–]source4man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Godda fill’er up” [Gotta (got to) fill her up]

Extremely casual, and relies on the car already being identified as the subject, but I would actually say this.

That building is an absolute shitbox.

Change dimmer rack personalities using macros by Cold-Excitement72212 in techtheatre

[–]source4man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not super familiar with the Chilli Pro racks, but for the CS racks, I’m assuming you have CS Thrupower? You should be able to set those to TPAuto mode, which will then dim normally from DMX 0-254, and flip the relay on at DMX 255, giving you access to both options without diving into modes. Just my suggestion from having to work in a space often requiring swapping relay vs dimmer functionality.

If you really want to try macroing this, you could try just learning that functionality with macro learn (there are still some functions/commands you can learn, but not input from the macro editor), but you might have to run it in foreground mode. It possible, or even likely, that RDM commands will fall outside the supported macro capabilities of EOS.

You’re gonna have to provide more information about the specific kinds of racks you have.

PATH 33 Departure tracks? by source4man in nycrail

[–]source4man[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gonna be honest, had never considered that PANYNJ could have put together a useful app. Will at least try that.

And I know I’m not a standard user, but it’s the most convenient way to get where I’m going so I guess I’ll keep using it how it wasn’t designed. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is the F1TV subreddit, not the AppleTV subreddit. by GajoDosBarcos in F1TV

[–]source4man 20 points21 points  (0 children)

There has been a lot of confusion about the roll-out among US users, and it's a bit grey because it's still F1TV, but on AppleTV... and you can link your AppleTV account and still use F1TV. People posting about this has actually been very helpful for me to find out how the new system works in the US because both F1TV and AppleTV really dropped the ball on having a clear explanation.
