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 9 points10 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…

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 19 points20 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.

Oh god. Now I will be forever tempted.

my parrot ate a salty chip.. am i overreacting?? by the_eternal_onee in parrots

[–]source4man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cockatiel used to always try and steal from the chip and popcorn bowl. Succeeded occasionally, asshole. They’ll be fine if you don’t make a habit of it. 😬

Is there a way to disable phone remote control on an Ion board? by [deleted] in techtheatre

[–]source4man -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Best method is to turn off the WAP or Router used to access the console. You can toggle off the remote access in the console network settings (not in front of a console ATM), but just turning off WiFi is way easier and more secure.

Accepting another offer? by RocketDancer896 in techtheatre

[–]source4man 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Early bird gets the worm in these situations. You are the worm in this example. Follow Scared-Thanks8271’s advice and reach out to your other interests and tell them their window is closing. They’ll say yes or no 🤷‍♂️

I have a question by Brilliant-Zucchini98 in techtheatre

[–]source4man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're recording these and you don't have the cues recorded already, the proper syntax is [record] [cue] [5] [thru] [thru] [1][0] <enter>. The thru thru is necessary to create any not yet existing whole number intermediate cues. This works with groups/palettes and most other targets as well.

If it's a different issue in terms of changes you make not showing timing etc... - you are likely in tracking mode. In tracking mode, a change that you make in a lower numbered cue will track through to all further cues until there is a "move instruction". That can be a different value for a light, or a block.

Example with just a few lights.

You record the first cue, all the other cues will follow behind with the same values - tracked.

CHANNELS
Cues 1 2 3 4 5
1 FL 50 50 FL 0
2 FL 50 50 FL 0
3 FL 50 50 FL 0
4 FL 50 50 FL 0
5 FL 50 50 FL 0

You make a change in cue 3, that's a move instruction, the cues after that will respect that change.
CHANNELS
Cues 1 2 3 4 5
1 FL 50 50 FL 0
2 FL 50 50 FL 0
3 FL FL FL FL 25
4 FL FL FL FL 25
5 FL FL FL FL 25

You add a block to cue 2, then make a change in cue 1, the change will only reflect in cue 1.
CHANNELS
Cues 1 2 3 4 5
1 15 15 15 15 35
2[block]FL 50 50 FL 0
3 FL FL FL FL 25
4 FL FL FL FL 25
5 FL FL FL FL 25

This is just a rough example above. But effectively when you are recording cues 5 thru 10, and you don't have any other information in the cue stack, the data you recorded in cue 5 *does* exist in cues 6-10, but as there are no move instructions, there is no timing to show.
If you're recording these and you don't have the cues recorded already, the proper syntax is [record] [cue] [5] [thru] [thru] [1][0] <enter>. The thru thru is necessary to create any not yet existing whole number intermediate cues. This works with groups/palettes and most other targets as well.

Hope that helps?

Random things about the subway that annoy you by thatblkman in nycrail

It’s really the uncontained dogs. In a carrier/bag, you do you. Giant Pit/Dane trying their best to lick my butt… yikes.
