Lead flashing is still in use for roofing elsewhere in the EU. Most of the builders yards near me have rolls of it.

Yes, the AOT compiler can emit debug symbols which point to the C# source files, so depending on your debugger you can get it to work. I previously had to ship a C#/dotnet library in a native C iOS/Android app. It was a PITA but it worked in the end, and I was even able to debug the C# code in XCode (albeit in a limited fashion).

Revolut is notrious in this regard. If memory serves, they explicitly check the build string for LineageOS and block the app if it matches. The workaround at the time was to build the ROM yourself with a new build name string.

220 is a roll film, essentially the same as 120 film, just a longer roll. It's 6cm wide, and picture format depends on the camera/lens, varying from 6x4.5 up to 6x7 (and beyond, for panoramic shots).

So for use with your telescope, it'd need to produce an image circle that'd cover at least 6cm.

Minor point, but the immersion is the heating element that extends to within the tank, short for "immersion heater".

The tanks generally also have a heat exchanger within that's hooked up to the wet central heating system, that way you can have 1 boiler so both central heating and water heating.

Interesting concept. Does it require the receiver to have google maps (or similar play services) installed to view locations or is it entirely browser based?
