Team WD-40 here too; it's always worked well enough that I was happy thinking of it as a lubricant. I have an outdoor gate that needs doing soon, time to try out some of those recommendations...

Ooh, that's a great tip - I'm always on the lookout for opportunities to replace a plastic thing with a wooden upgrade so have plenty of wood around.

I would have thought all that copper was worth a fair few dollars alone.

I thought that was Pinball Dreams from the thumbnail, I loved that game! I played it to death on the Amiga. And Pinball Fantasies too, but I don't recognise the name Pinball Illusions.

We knew that the game was going to be cracked, given that we ourselves did some cracking and distributing of cracked copies. So was not really a big thing, but we did put in some crack detections that altered some of the scoring and ball physics in later games, that was never fixed by the crackers so they played worse than if you owned the original game.

That's quite funny.

Has anyone here generated their own keys? I'd looked into it before and it didn't seem too complicated (but never tried).

Her death brings the total number of journalists killed by Israeli forces since October 2023 to at least 231, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office.

The Committee for Protecting Journalists has been tracking numbers of journalists killed and recently there's been a massive uptick from the average of 80 a year between 2003 and 2022.

It's more like the rule is right for the wrong reason, but it's an interesting article - even if it does feel like an ad for that fancy thermometer at times.

It looks like you didn't actually read the article before commenting. He's talking about how film sets could and should be more sustainable.

“It’s a grossly wasteful industry,” he continued. “Think about set builds that aren’t recycled, think about transport, think about food, think about housing, but also light and energy. The amount of wattage you need to create daylight and consistent light in a studio environment. It’s a lot of energy.”

Oh dear, those certain two vowels are going to trigger a strong reaction from some, despite it being efficient and private.

Vertical tabs will please many, and the quick conversions will definitely be useful.

Great project, great domain name, brilliant stuff.

If memory serves, virtually all of them have high nitrate levels, which cats, dogs etc don't clear out very well, leading to risk of nitrate poisoning. (Or perhaps it's nitrates, but either way.)

I'm doing the same as you and I've come up with such a similar list that I probably won't bother posting it since I can just use your build's feedback.
