Exvuse me, I've been doing drive by manual slop PRs for at least a decade. I certainly didn't read a ticket; I ran into the problem myself. I probably didn't read documentation or write tests either. I just fixed my problem a

Hvdc in the ocean requires way less right of way than hvdc over land. Running oceanic hvdc from Spain to Germany might have some trouble in the English channel where it would be in territorial waters. Spain to UK might make more sense.

At least the WebRTC library (not sure about browser integration) can do some a/v sync. RTP audio and video both have timestamps; but of course they have different frequencies and epochs. RTCP sender reports include an RTP time and an N

Uncirculated notes feel weird and also tend to stick together. Thankfully, it doesn't take much handling for them to wear in enough to not stick. I did have a food stand on the boardwalk in New Jersey once refuse a worn bill, which w

It's been forever since I played space cadet, but skillful nudging is beneficial in many video pinballs. A little nudge here and there helps save balls from the drain and can help make some shots.

If you drain to the far left, and kickback is lit, the ball gets sent along the line and comes out the top (and IIRC, refills your fuel?)

Pop bumpers on an elevated/overlay playfield seems like a nightmare in general, maintenance would be a big pain. I can't think of a machine that has a pop like that, but my internal pinball database is getting pretty dusty. You mi

You should probably find a proper e-waste collector, but I guess if you can't find one, you could leave it at Starbucks and someone will take care of it?

Any PRNG, including a CSPRNG is simple to predict if you know its inputs. You need entropy to seed your CSPRNG.
