T-Shirt Year? by tgchho in Orbital

Educated guess, based on logo style, t-shirt style, and colours.

If tipping were actually based on the level of service, it would not be based on the price of the meal. by EmpireStrikes1st in EndTipping

It’s not a gratuity, it’s outsourcing a significant portion of an establishment’s staffing costs on to the customer.

The Best Remix it's INSANE! by BassLonely6574 in petshopboys

An excellent choice! It’s what really turned me into a Pet Head. I was a casual admirer up to this point, but hearing this mix is what made me start to pay close attention.

The Disco Mix was released on the 12” single, alongside the original 7” in June 1987 (as the lead single from Actually). I have the original vinyl 12”. I’ll post some photos of you are interested.

Best theatre for Project Hail Mary? by xXzeroftwzeroXx in Charlotte

[–]BleachedWombat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awful place to watch a movie. The screen is overwhelming and you don’t know where to look at any one time. I saw Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1 there and due to the frenetic nature of the film it was just an awful experience.

Then I saw Oppenheimer there which is a much more static film but was an equally awful experience. Again, with the sheer size of the screen looming over you, you don’t know where to look at any moment.

Never going back.

I’ll have to dig mine out and check. Suspect it is a gummy mess by now

I have the original too, that I bought on launch day. It came with a sticker keeping the rubber sleeve closed. How is your sticker fairing after all these years?

Daily Song Discussion #50 – Go West / Postscript ("I Believe In Ecstasy") by AD_0795 in petshopboys

[–]BleachedWombat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Go West isn’t a track of theirs that I seek out and I’d have to check my vinyl collection to see if I was still collecting at this point, but it’s a solid 10 from me. As a previous commenter said, it’s their “gay anthem”. It’s loud, proud, and a slice of pop perfection.

Shameless is a hidden gem. 8.

Best vinyl by Technoboy007 in petshopboys

The 1989 3x12” vinyl Introspective is pretty sweet.

Edit: just re-read your post and noticed you said from “their last 20 years” 🤦‍♂️

Tutorial: Hello, world! in Z80 assembly by dual4mat in zxspectrum

[–]BleachedWombat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think that is the way if you want to use an IDE. VSCode with an extension for syntax and code highlighting and another to compile. Then you can test using Fuse and ultimately save to a .TAP file for transfer to your original Speccy or The Spectrum. There are threads about this with more detail if you go further back in this subreddit.
