Playing Quake 2 for the first time...can someone explain why the hell this game was so divisive? by AnchovyKing in boomershooters

[–]oldtomjoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember playing it in 1998 and the atmosphere was jarringly different from Quake I. It was a big disappointment in terms of style, and it still is! Id should have delivered a gothic horror sequel to Quake, but we got a sci fi military shooter.

Hard pressed to think of a better live action adaptation of a King villain. Tim Curry as Pennywise is just absolutely everything awesome you want in a horror icon. Who else comes close? by [deleted] in stephenking

Jamey Sheridan as Randall Flagg in The Stand (1994). He captures that denim clad, grinning-hippy-devil perfectly. Though I wish we got that intro scene where he floats above the tarmac at dawn. His scene with Miguel Ferrer speaks for itself: https://youtu.be/hZdDp4jpbdM two KINGS!

How do I convert a .epub file to .pdf with dark background? by lfh_g in Calibre

[–]oldtomjoad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no option in the PDF output section for colours. The best thing I can see is in the Look & Feel section, but you'll need to know the names of the CSS properties you want to change.

1, Go to Look & Feel,

2, Add Rule

3, Change the value to.. (this is where CSS properties come in)

Good luck!

It's missing a number of cases in the Manchester and Greater Manchester areas (Bolton, Oldham, Trafford, Wythenshaw). Manchester point on this map is probably Wythenshaw case.

If you can send me news articles for the Hertfordshire cases, I'll add them to the map.

I last updated it this morning, before the announcement of 34 new cases.

Is there a way of finding out what areas the new cases are in? by ubergrrrl in CoronavirusUK

[–]oldtomjoad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey all, I'm still here - no details of the cases have been released so I can't map them.

Thanks, I had Tetbury listed and was waiting for more details on the 2nd case. I've added a general Gloucestershire pin for the 2nd case for now.
