I would consider this a benefit. I've been a professional for 10 years and have successfully avoided CSS for all of it. Now I can do even more things and still successfully avoid it.

With cursor it's half off right now.

RIP Brindle the axolotl. I will miss your sarcastic comments about code quality.

Great news. Buddy is still there in the old configuration file. You can install buddy and it will find Brindle the axolotl and bring it back.

I mean they don't HAVE to, unless there's some law I'm not aware of can't they just say "sorry not sorry colorblind people" or something. The MBAs will say HAVE to because maximizing shareholder value.

In the US, the ADA says you have to make reasonable accomodations, and it allows for private enforcement, so it's generally followed.

Accessibility lawsuits are common and frequent. Everyone gets them. It's sort of an open secret in the software world, not sure why it doesn't get discussed more. I guess the business people just consider it CODB, and developers prefer to believe it isn't real.

This appears to be a relatively scientific institution and yet they don't use the internationally recognized unit of measurement the American football field. I have no idea how big this island is now.

It's a little cryptic, but I believe this passage "slightly longer than the Polarstern with its 118 metres and about twice as wide"

tells us it's the size of two Polarsterns laid side by side.

I still don't know what that is in terms of football fields, I assume you mean United States and not Canada, but maybe someone else can help out as I've gone as far as I can.


It's about a football field in both length and width. Little bit longer.

It shall be known as Football Field Island.

In the words of the great General Washington, we use meters and kilometers for certain unpopular sports like swimming.

So for measuring an island, use of swimming units seems appropriate.

That's what Biden did for Hunter right?

[flagged]


From what I can gather, Hunter Biden was guilty of tax evasion, possessing a firearm when he shouldn't, and lying about drug use.

He shouldn't have been pardoned, sure, but you cannot possibly believe that's more corrupt than what Trump, his family, and his cronies do on a regular Tuesday afternoon.


No for sure. The prediction markets stuff really pisses me off.

Are you for real - apart from almost everything Trump has done? Did you miss how he picked an AG and prevented release of the Trump-Epstein files even though he signed into law a bill requiring full release with only redaction of victims. Did you miss the daily breeches of the emoluments clause?

Did you miss the pardoning of the Jan 6 people who hunted people down, set up a gallows, and those who tried to murder police?

Did you miss Trump sending USA troops into democrat cities to try and intimidate USA citizens, using his militia to murder people in cold blood?

Did you miss all the tariffs used to move the markets so Trump and his cronies could drain money from ordinary folks investments in the markets - he even boasted how rich he'd made his friends. From tariff front-running.

Hunter Biden broke the law, but his crimes look like schoolkid's high-jinks compared to Trump.

How about Trump's alt-coin to take overseas bribes?

Or using the instigation of war to win bets?

There're thousands more such crimes of corruption the Trump regime have done.

You can't be serious.


> You can't be serious.

They're not serious. They're a partisan actor who knows exactly how absurd it is to say something like that. They're just here to spread chaos.


> perhaps the greatest example of corruption in us history.

Donald Trump started a war with Iran to distract from the Epstein files, where he is mentioned thousands of times and credibly accused of raping a minor. But yeah, hunter biden. Most corrupt in US history. Sure.


Which side is likely to be petty and target family members in bad faith?

The side of money

Crazy that this is literally one of the lines Trump ran on - weaponizing the DOJ.

Nah, Saturday post. Less news less content.

I question the accuracy. In 2010 I could buy a McDonald's double cheeseburger for $1. Now they're like $3 and they took off a slice of cheese.

Double cheeseburger has always had and still has two slices of cheese. The McDouble (which used to be $1) always had a single slice of cheese.

The real hack was asking them to put Big Mac sauce on the McDouble. For $.30 it was pretty damn close at 1/3 the price.


In the last 12-24 months the price of fast food in particular has risen at a higher rate than inflation has hit other types of food and goods. Fast food makes no economic sense anymore.

And you're right, the food has gotten worse as well.


What economic sense does fast food ever make? You're paying a premium for a convenience.

It made sense to pay less money for lower quality prepared food. Now the price is comparable to better food.

Paying for convenience does make sense if you value the convenience.


Fast food is gut wraughting

The Big Mac Index has the fatal flaw in that it assumes the value of Big Mac is consistent over time; McDonald’s has been at the forefront of fast food attempting to break into a more high income market segment.

Yeah, same here. Perhaps the Big Mac Index [0] is what you want.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Mac_Index


Of course this is comparing to one data point that is an outlier. If people are choosing to pay $3 in today's dollars for it, that means that in 2010 McDonald's was underpricing that item relative to its market value. Presumably deliberately as a promotion. Compare across everything you buy and compare like-to-like if you want to judge its accuracy.

Yes, but that's how vibflation works :)

I don't think Starbucks offering happy endings is a 55% match to their current offerings.

Ironically one of the big tells for me is the "It's not this. It's that." Your comment uses a comma though so you're probably a real person :)

I assume they were aping those terms ironically (especially given the 'you're absolutely right')

Busted!!!!

Staccato (too may short sentences with periods) is also a telltale for me. Most humans prefer longer sentences with more varied punctuation; I, for example, am a sucker for run-on sentences.
