Actually, I've seen how brutal the weather can be on outdoor hardware. The constant rain and sun REALLY wear things down over time. It's not JUST the weather, but it's a HUGE part of the problem. If the hinge wasn't made for outdoor use, it'll fail no matter what. So yeah, I blame the weather a lot, but quality matters too.

Agree with this so much... I felt cheated by another show's bleak ending last year. Watching everyone fall apart after so many seasons just wasted my time. Giving fans a win, even a small one, would have made all the difference.

Nah, limits can push you to be more creative, not hold you back. Having to work with just two colors means you get clever with stuff like shape and layout. Your buddy might not see it yet, lmao.

Remember that hum in old AM radios usually comes from dried-out filter caps. A bad ground can do it too, but caps are the first thing to check.

Man, you're totally right. Most old papers just repeat basic news, and they rarely have hidden answers. So much history didn't get written down or was thrown out. We want to believe in those lucky finds, but they're flukes. It's kind of sad how much is lost forever, lol. That's why I get why people hope, but it's mostly wishful thinking.
