More likely "She" (or rather "They" since there are two authors). > also repeatedly states the events of 1997 happened 35 years ago. You misread. The article says 25 years, except this: There are images from the news

North of England was what I had in mind. I guess "soda pop" (US) and "fizzy pop" (UK) might have a common root.

> "pop" in british english It might be regional, but I think "soft drink" or ""fizzy drink" are far more common. I can't recall the last time I heard "pop" used in this sense.

A missing comma after "rescued" perhaps? With it, it would mean "they returned", rather than "they have been returned".

Your description immediately made me think of the TI SN76577 "Complex Sound Generator" IC [1]. If I'm not mistaken it was used in the early versions of the MB Games Electronic Battleship game (think falling missile and white-

Not exactly. US Jelly is more like UK Jelly (US Jello), but less viscous, yet spread like jam. I would call US Jelly "fruit flavoured", with a high water content, no fruit solids, and occasionally even artificial fruit flavours; w

You're correct - a wire rope is a cable, but a synthetic rope is not. But "rope" generally refers to synthetic rope, not wire rope, so a rope is not a cable.

Despite what the OPs video suggests, there are no ropes used, rather steel cables. A rope's mechanical properties wouldn't be beneficial for a ski lift.

It says as much in the friendly article: Introversion and extroversion are also a spectrum rather than binary. (They even bolded it.)

"ZX Spectrum game developer Bernie Drummond has died" The current title is a bit misleading, as it sounds like he was involved in the development of the spectrum.

One thing that isn't explained is how they deal with mapping the animations for the diagonal strips in the second version? I had a quick look at the code, but didn't see anything obvious.

Naturally, but OP specifically wanted higher density – just not necessarily _that_ high.

The answer to the density issue is not to use individual strips, but a matrix. You can get them down to at least 2.5mm (1/10") pitch. Of course then you have a different problem - how to see out!
