Although the worst example of this is them filming 'Blink' (yes, THAT episode) *on the actual street I lived on!"
The same street that had the old church building on it. With statues attached. Because sleeping is overrated, apparently. Cheers, #DooctorWho

Aside: during the original RTD run, I was practically stalked across Cardiff by the set of #DoctorWho. They ended up filming at my location multiple times. It led to some very weird experiences, to say the very least
E.g they filmed "The Idiot's Lantern" in the street over from my place
They started filming one night at 2am, when I'd gone to the toilet. Came back to huge spotlight shining into my bedroom. Thought it was morning, and that I'd been pissing for 5+ hours straight

….Form friendships with independents. They decide the elections. Every time. They are who we need to sway.
Don’t believe me? Look at how a gay couple changed the mindset of the majority of the country on same sex marriage.
If one couple can do it, think of how big of an impact we can each have in our communities!
Leading up to the 2022 midterms, I canvases for the governor! I got sent to a most decidedly red neighborhood. But at the first house I went to, it was clear she needed 2/

Since October 7th, over 14,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel. Each number represents a person with dreams, hopes, and a story that deserves to be heard. Here are just a few of them.

Long story short, one coin gets you a certain number of games (balls) and each game = one ball in play; game over when the ball went off the board.
A coin starts a series of games (credits) when inserted, and you could add coins even before playing, for multiple credits, and the machine gives you one ball at a time.
A game starts when you put the ball you've been given into play on the board. The credits actually count how many balls you're entitled to and subtracts each ball as you play them.
Scoring more points than the machine is able to count is called a roll-over and it earns you a bonus credit.
Beyond the basics are certain targets or bumpers that get enabled to double your points but only during a certain period of time but don't when they time out, and such features add other ways of earning extra credits besides the roll-over.
....so yeah--the later the vintage of the pinball machine, the more complicated the credits thing gets. Hope this helps.
@williampietri
The earliest basic pinball machines didn't count on people getting good at it, or manipulating the entire machine body to get a remarkably high score, so a TILT mechanism was added later but not a whole lot later.
A TILT condition would wipe out both your score and your credits and lock up the machine until a new coin was inserted.
Every progressive version of pinball always made playing the game harder than earlier versions.
@williampietri
Well, the credit relay has relationship to other things besides the coin relay, for starters.
On a machine where you can earn bonus credits, the condition for the bonus has to be triggered as well.
