    Harvey dent 2 - Good gravy? If you remember the genre and if the lead was male or female or really any other info (was it a band, solo…etc) that can be helpful

    Edit for possible others: Nonsensical Menageries - Gravy
















  • Happens a lot with car rke fobs, I usually have to replace the housings and buttons all together for a permanent fix. I tried the super glue and aluminum foil method and it temporarily works. Nothing I used to attach the aluminum to the worn button pad really results in a long term fix though (super glue, silicone, epoxy, hot glue). Is this a better solution?

    Dang didn’t think of a nuclear site. Was thinking more along the lines of a protected area. The only problem with toxic environment would be protecting the material itself in a budget friendly way

    Screw it go for it think the only thing holding you down is cost of materials and machining especially if you’re adding a message to it, if its just an artifact/statue you’re shooting for maybe opt for a more budget and workable material than tungsten. Some kind of industrial metal you can work with like steel or even aluminum may be a better alternative stone material (granite or marble) being the best IMO for longevity, encase it in epoxy and then put in a PVC pipe with desiccant for added measure. Finding a location where it won’t be disturbed is probably the hardest part of this. Can’t be exposed to UV light or harsh chemicals, so ocean is out (think its illegal to dump there too). If burying, it needs to be below the frost line for sure in fairly stable ground, with good chemical makeup of the soil, where people won’t interact with it. I personally can’t come up with a legal means so you might have to get permission from some kind of protected grounds like a national park or something. Even then at most it will last maybe a couple thousand years, longer if using stone material instead of metal
