- Comment on What is known about darkrooms? 2 weeks ago:
There is a ‘Do not enter’ light above the door to the dark room, that you flick on when developing, so that no one comes in and lets light in. Or there may be a 2-door airlock/lightlock.
There are big tongs with rubber ends, to move the photo-paper from one chemical bath to the next while developing.
I forget how to make white-borders around photos, maybe tape each of the 4 sides.

- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 3 weeks ago:

- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 3 weeks ago:
In Super Sprint, on the track below, once I get enough lead up on the 3rd or 4th lap, I would enter the red arrow 360 loop and then just keep spinning the steering-wheel left. This makes the car do 2-3 donuts around the loop, until going out of control backwards to explode into the barrier.
Always worth it.

Hey awesome!
You are much better equipped to explain the site culture and node-structure, than I am.
I did read through various nodes during the SlashDot era, but only check-in sporadically now.

Tons of content.

The original tiny-mic legend, Nat’s What I Reckon reviewing the overpriced-boatshow.

Glad to help.
It’s been years since I’ve played LBreakout2. It is a solid game, and I like that it follows the style of old Amiga games.
- Comment on Has anyone else experienced these psychological changes after eating meat? 5 weeks ago:
If you let us know the video or article that got you on the diet, we can advise more.
Often diet advice is bogus when it does not come from a dietician.
Some random advice can be harmful.
- Comment on LBreakout2 level 19/37 - How the hell do I get past the unbreakable bricks? 5 weeks ago:
Looks like grey and blue bricks.
Focus on the grey ones in the middle, or follow the colour-scheme of previous levels.

Possibly the super-powers-from-meat angle you are explaining. 🙃
You may need a longer sample period to identify any changes happening here.

The 2 has a 3.5mm jack that you can permanently connect (with USB adapter if required).
Can be paired with a second unit for stereo sound.
Portable in a laptop bag, and 15-20hr playtime per charge.

- Comment on Have there been any technological advances in boucey ball technology in the last decade or two? 1 month ago:
You can carefully crack open a golf ball to reveal a decent bouncy-ball.
From memory, I think it is a weighted core, wrapped in a long thin strand of rubber.
Glue the rubber strand to stop it unravelling and it should be good.
(Crack open carefully means with a vice and a hacksaw, rather than using any knife)
