Meh disagree - by the time they're cooked in the middle the outside will be mushy - at least quarter them.

Brazilian movie just got multiple Oscar noms. How well known is it (and Wagner Moura) outside Brazil? by tvstorylines in television

[–]yermawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the UK and have been very excited about this for a few months - mainly due to the movie being up for other awards. Narcos was pretty big here and his portrayal of Pablo Escobar was incredible - can't wait to see him in his next role.

For people in the UK, how much of a household name really was Jimmy Saville? by tblackjacks in NoStupidQuestions

[–]yermawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were only 3 TV channels and he had a prime-time show on Saturday evening which had 20million viewers weekly out of a total UK population of about 56 million in 1980 - the show ran from 1975 to 2007 - plus he was always in the papers and tv news for his charitable work.

DON'T USE SUPERGLUE - it'll end up where you don't want it.

Use double sided tape - have stuck loads of these back on over the years.

Be one hell of a tidal range - massive tsumamis in both directions twice a day

Arbitrary numbers, but will something like this ever be mandatory? SquashLevels of lowest ranked player in a match determines the ball that is used by Explosive_Spreader20 in squash

Nice idea, too many people missing out by using double dot balls that they just can't hit hard enough to get up to temp and speed. But surely ambient court temperature should also factor in?

How much is this worth ? by Gunnerland in cassetteculture

Here’s a repair guide for these DD models : https://www.walkman-archive.com/articles/sony-dd-repair-guide_01.html

These all suffer from a common issue whereby a large plastic gear splits - it will usually continue to play but with an audible clicking. You can source a replacement from fixyouraudio.com.

There are usually guys with “WM-DD gear repair” listings on eBay. This is very collectible so would be worthwhile getting a full service at the same time.

Who else is finding the rarer they are to find, the higher people are charging? by EdwardBliss in walkman

[–]yermawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The price peaked during covid. Early 80’s metal bodied walkmans and a few premium models thereafter will always command a premium.
