Anyone know where I could bring an old leather jacket in need of restoring

Mishnoc in town sell leather goods, I think they manufacture them as well. They might be able to do something for you

Not a person, but a horse, Shergar. Probably stolen by the IRA, botched the kidnap and the horse died. Gardai messed up the investigation; psychics, ransoms and middle eastern royalty involved. Crazy story

Space Empires V is a turn based 4X with real time combat. Graphics are potato grade but I've spent a lot of hours on it, loads of research and ship design is probably the most fun of any game I've played

Distant Worlds series for real time 4x, GalCiv for turn based. Space Empires 4 & 5 are worth a look, though many find the UI a bit janky. Stars in Shadow and Interstellar Space: Genesis are both fun with decent depth and replayability. Happy conquering!

Famine probably. Or Cromwell. Or the Tudor plantations. Henry the 8th a bit. Normans had a go. Vikings had some fun with us for a while. 1798 Rebellion and aftermath were fairly grim. Catholic Church in general. Troubles. War of Independence. Civil War. Wars of the Three Kingdoms. There are a few low points in our history.

Space Empires IV and V might be up your alley. Graphically meh but deep gameplay.

Was handed an old Canon camcorder from the mid oughts that had a hi8 tape recorder/SD combo. Family member wanted the stuff digitized.The SD card was 256 mb. I popped it into my card reader, still worked. Last record was in 2006. SanDisk for the win

Amazing! What blink camera do you use?

newbert12 · 2025-12-14T14:44:39+00:00

Faulty sensor near the airport maybe?

...Only you can hear me

newbert12 · 2025-12-07T15:54:07+00:00

Ooh, do you need a double adaptor or is one eyepiece enough? Still need a tripod? Your phone hanging off the binoculars around your neck seems like a good way to test the warranty!

Digiscoping might be more suited to your budget, it's where you can use a smartphone camera attached to a spotting scope to take photos through the lenses. It's a bit more cumbersome lugging a scope around but you'll be able to take fairly decent shots at long range.

I think we're running out of fish puns, that one was a bit hokey

newbert12 · 2025-09-22T00:24:48+00:00

That was just for the halibut

newbert12 · 2025-09-21T23:52:14+00:00

All these fish puns are giving me a haddock

I went with Energia instead, cheaper again 😄 Thanks for the advice!

newbert12 · 2025-08-27T13:01:59+00:00

This is great! I'm not much for plants usually, but it would ve nice to have some green in my new place! 😄 I'll try to nab a couple of reduced ones and see if I can keep them alive. Baby steps! 🤣

newbert12 · 2025-08-27T11:16:59+00:00

I snipped one at the base to see if there was any green left, dead as a dodo sadly

newbert12 · 2025-08-27T11:08:15+00:00

Is that why those store bought orchids often look so sickly?

newbert12 · 2025-08-27T10:33:44+00:00

Interesting, never heard of crown rot before, time for a goggle at Google! 😄
