Digging through some paperwork and I discovered my official 2020 General Election ballot. Since I voted in person I didn’t use it and figured it would be a neat momento in the future. Any suggestions on where to buy a black light? The local weed dispensary maybe? LOL
Is Spencers Gifts still a thing? I remember going to the one in the Northridge Fashion Center back in 1983 to see the adult paraphernalia when I was in 6th grade.
818 for life (not really) Used to go there a lot. Got denied a job at Spencers. Then there was the poor security guard who was trapped in his golf cart when the parking structure caved in during the earthquake. That shit was nightmare fuel
Is there a cheep-ish option out there? I have an old Hi-8 video camera that mimicked night vison but I doubt it was true night vision. Although it did make your eyes glow in a freaky way.
As for a black light, I found the most amazing led UV flashlight that came in a pet spot remover kit. takes a few triple A’s but it’s a CSI level black light for cheap.
[just never turn the damn thing on in the bathroom ??]
You need a longwave UV lamp. If I remember correctly it'll be between 300nm-400nm
Rovy Vonn makes a dual frequency uv light that I use. I bought it on Amazon for $50 I think.
Try a dark room and your cell phone. Look through and see if the low light has your cell phone “assist” with IR. You may see it on your screen. Then just screen capture as the photo may not show it
You can also usually see if your remote works this way, as the cell phone photo cell will show the IR LED light up
No, I just showed up to my polling place with my sample ballot and they checked my name and I voted on a Dominion machine. We all know how that turned out... but that’s not even the point, the amount of shenanigans that could have transpired, they say they checked to make sure you didn’t mail a ballot in but what’s to stop people from dropping off a mail-in and going to vote in person too on the same day? The state said it would verify this and so here’s the question do they toss both attempts or do they veto one? In CA it wouldn’t surprise me if they allowed that with Biden voters but canceled the Trump votes.

Ha! Thanks! Does anyone know if those bulb type have the same effect as the classic tube type?
Yes, but for this small experiment a bulb will work...and cheaper.
Heh! I’ll definitely post pictures!
Black lights are the same thing ??
Yes they DO. The bulbs get HOT btw ??
Avoid purchasing from amazon. Home depot often sales them and from what I've heard, they're pretty based.
Your local mall would have a spencers gifts. try there

Spirit Halloween keeps them alive... no literally
And porn toys.
Aah... Reminds me of my youth.
Mow there's a store i haven't thought of in awhile. Used to buy smiley pins there in the 70s.

I remember tripping on acid when I was about 17 and driving to the mall with three other people (not recommended) just to go to Spencers.
That's much farther than I would have pushed...couldn't imagine going into an 80s mall with a head full of acid.
They are always marked way up at Spencer's, you can get them way cheaper at the hardware store. And bigger too.
Hey It might need nightvision/infrared light, not only blacklight

Get a black light bulb at Spencers. Cheaper than a tube. IR not what you want. Black light=Ultraviolet wavelength. The bulbs get HOT fyi.
Yeah possibly.. I know some phone cameras have front facing infrared cameras too, you have to download open camera and navigate to the right camera
Infrared "light" is used as a heat lamp. Definately NOT the thing you want.
Kek...future proves past.
Godspeed on finding the right uv light.
After this, I’m going to go purchase a frame and hang this bad boy up. And I’ll buy a miniature museum black light to display it under. Heh!
GREAT IDEA!!

Spencer’s Gifts at the mall used to have them, if your mall still has one of those, haha.
Pet supply stores, they’ve got plenty of them for tracking dog urine (or ballots).
Google "how to turn your iphone into a blacklight" worth a shot!

POST YOUR RESULTS!!!

I’m on an iPhone 8 I don’t think it has that feature. My son just bought a iPhone 12, I’ll have him try it when he gets home tonight.
Did you have to vote provisionally then?
No, I just showed up to my polling place with my sample ballot and they checked my name and I voted on a Dominion machine. We all know how that turned out... but that’s not even the point, the amount of shenanigans that could have transpired, they say they checked to make sure you didn’t mail a ballot in but what’s to stop people from dropping off a mail-in and going to vote in person too on the same day?

Just curious because they had us do provisional since we had unused absentee ballots at home...thanks.
