Always love seeing these come up and everyone confidently stating that it's been solved. Everything from a knitting tool (highly unlikely as the Romans didn't knit) to a dice. The truth is we just don't know and likely never will unless a new source .

Personally I'm convinced by the theory that they're probably a metalworkers portfolio piece used to demonstrate the creators skill, either to potential customers or as a test to join a guild.

He's got Elven heritage. He's the 64th descendant of Elros, brother of Elrond. I think he's also decendend from a Maiar as Elros and Elrond's great great grandmother was Melian.

Bad, I'm lucky and live in a fairly afluent area of the south (but outside of London) but decades of conservative cuts have left our local government councils broke. My best friends moved to Europe because one of them worked in the arts and there's not enough jobs to support them in just the UK. The new Labour government is an improvement but has shifted significantly to the right in their policies and feels like Conservative Light and is actively persecuting Trans and immigrant people through it's policies to appeal to ex-conservatives. They're starting to seek closer ties to Europe again but everything feels pretty hopeless.

Elegoo's Saturn 3 is pretty budget friendly and decent quality in my experience. I've owned an original Mars and a Saturn 3 and I've been happy with both.

There's a great podcast called "Kill James Bond" that posits the theory that every time a spoof comes out it scared the studios so much that they had to reboot it.

Actually c64 replacement parts are pretty affordably available these days and easily maintainable due to the comparable simplicity Vs modern computing hardware. One of the advantages of the age of hobbiest computing - the designs used widely available ICs that you can just buy and assemble on your kitchen table with a soldering iron.

Masque of the Red death is a Edgar Allen Poe story not De Sade. If De Sade had written it the protagonist would have tried to fuck death.

I've seen it said elsewhere that these don't work on the windows of current Tesla models as they're laminated.

I've seen people say that emergency window hammers don't work with Tesla windows as they're laminated in current models.

Sadly the only way to know for sure is to test brain tissue, including in people, so there's no way to be certain without killing the potentially infected animal/person.

There are a bunch of tests they can do for people that can potentially identify rabies (lumbar puncture, CT and MRI scans, skin biopsy, antibody test) but apparently it can still be easily missed even with all of these tests so they aren't enough for an accurate diagnoses.
