Burning floppies is hard. I tought my USB drives started to die. Turns our it's just wild and old tech.
Long story short, I finally found the working command:
sudo dd if=floppy.img of=/dev/sdX bs=512 conv=notrunc,sync,fsync oflag=direct status=progress
This is the slowest but most stable way so far.

Now the game runs without OS straight from the floppy!
System requirements: x86 BIOS :D
I need to test in emulators what CPU it will run on. Should work on 486 in theory.
Current size: 512b for bootloader and 1648b for game.
Please Insert a Disk

@khalidabuhakmeh @sarajw with Sass, you can extend CSS classes like:
```scss
.error {
border: 1px #f00;
background-color: #fdd;
&--serious {
@extend .error;
border-width: 3px;
}
}
```
https://sass-lang.com/documentation/at-rules/extend/
Which sorta seems like what you are looking for, but yeah as @sarajw mentioned - the CSS results in something like this:
```
.error, .error--serious {
// same styles in both classes
}
.error-serious {
// class specific
}
```
Please Insert a ZipDisk

May I present to you:
The most #cursed #FrontPanel Configuration I did to this day:
It has everything I could get my hands on to this day.
Not shown are the internal 3,5" 1440kB #FDD i had in it earlier, but swapped it for the #FloppyEmulator cuz it was annoying that #Linux constantly checked if a #Floppy was in the drive.

Turkey Actively Supports Hamas, Refuses to Condemn Massacre
Erdogan’s full awareness, Hamas maintains political offices in Turkey. Hamas leaders, Khaled Mashal, Ismail Haniyeh, Saleh al-Arouri, have openly met with Erdogan many times. In the cases of Arouri and Haniyeh, Ankara has provided them with Turkish passports and residency, which has allowed them to travel internationally unhindered.
Arouri, Hamas’ West Bank chief, is a U.S.-designated terrorist with a $5 million bounty on his head. He celebrated this weekend’s massacre on social media and is likely one of the masterminds of the attacks.
Turkey may also be providing military support to Hamas. In July, Israeli authorities seized 16 tons of explosive material that originated in Turkey bound for Gaza. Erdogan’s government remains a primary source of support for Hamas and other jihadist entities throughout the region.

Just a few weeks ago, Israeli customs seized 16 tons of bomb-making material that originated in Turkey, destined for Gaza. Read about it at #FDD. Where do you suppose Hamas sources materials to build rockets used to kill Israeli civilians today?
Also, Israel is famed for being the birthplace of world’s most powerful surveillance software. It has eyes & a blockade on Gaza, that is only 42km long. In Gaza the one constant is the Israeli observation drones in the sky. But no one saw this coming. Analysis:
The first floppy dies! (unable to read one folder).
Copied the data to a fresh, never used and we're back online :)
