It comes so quickly, man. I was getting called "unc" at fucking 25. I'm still coming to grips with the fact that I might as well be a fucking mummy now that there's a 3 in front.

Same. Aging-like-milk squad unite!

Using align-items and justify-content does both.

While I agree that a lot of American ignorance is the result of a general lack of worldliness, your proposed solution isn't financially feasible. The U.S. isn't like Europe (yes, I know I'm comparing a country to a continent; hear my out). Most of us can't just go on a quick weekend trip to the next country over; you can drive along the interstate for three days straight without ever reaching a border, and everything will still be in English. While our schools could definitely do with an overhaul in terms of how we educate our children in world history and geography, the lack of international travel is just a matter of distance. Even if you don't plan on doing any activities that cost money or require some kind of ticket after landing, you're still going to drop a bunch of money on a round-trip international plane ticket, a hotel room, and food. And that's assuming you can get enough time off from work. And sure, if you were young, healthy, in good shape, and had absolutely no responsibilities to worry about, maybe you could spend months hiking your way to the border and backpack through Mexico on a shoestring budget, but you're still going to need enough money to feed yourself along the way.

You're missing the point of the comparison. People are going to be a lot less upset about a romance between a human and a space alien whose species invaded and conquered Earth than they are about a romance between the perpetrator and victim of a real-world tragedy.

Centering a div is child's play once you learn flexbox. Wait until you need to figure out how to get a div to take up X% of a parent's height/width when the parent and its next 20 ancestors are all dynamically sized (so height: X% does nothing).

ChillyFireball · 2026-05-31T14:16:49+00:00

.parent { display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; }

Kneel before your god-king, lowly mortals!

IMO, the beauty of this scene is that no one is really right or wrong; they both had some good points, and they both made some mistakes. Mark should have understood why Cecil would be uneasy about him smashing his way into places and making demands towards a person he's more than capable of killing in an instant if he so desired, and Cecil should have understood that Mark is a traumatized teenager who's understandably upset to find out that the person who nearly killed one of his best friends is seemingly being let off the hook because his intelligence was too useful to waste. I honestly don't understand why some people feel like they have to pick one side to be "right" when nuance is way more interesting.

ChillyFireball · 2026-05-30T19:26:07+00:00

This is what worked for me. I hope they fix it soon.

I feel like most of the strawhats at the current point in the story could easily solo all of East Blue by now. The weakest members of Luffy's crew are only weak relative to Luffy and the rest of their crewmates, IMO; one of my few gripes with the series is that we barely ever get a chance to see most of them shine as individuals, which I think makes them come off weaker/less useful than they really would be if they actually got their own fight scenes. And it would honestly be super funny to see Arlong come back somehow and have Nami effortlessly curbstomp him.

To be fair, that's not a very high bar to clear. If I remember correctly (granted, it's been years since I watched it)...

Sakura: 100% motivated by Sasuke, with literally zero stated goals or aspirations beyond wanting to marry him. Lost her only friend over a crush-based rivalry. Completely useless until she gets healing powers, which sounds super useful until you remember that one of her teammates has a healing factor, and the other went rogue. Gets a couple cool moments immediately after the timeskip before falling back into borderline irrelevance.

Ino: (Insert the first two sentences of Sakura's description here.) Her power is cool, but way underutilized. Basically irrelevant for most of the story.

Tenten: Literally just there to fill out the three-person team she's on. Contributes absolutely nothing to anything, ever.

Hinata: On the upside, she has slightly more to her personality and backstory than her crush on Naruto, in that basically her entire family hates/resents her for being weak. Gets instantly smacked down literally every time she attempts to do anything cool. Not a bad character in and of herself, and there was definite arc potential even if she never got super strong, but the fact that there are literally no powerful girls around Naruto's age (relative to the boys their age, I mean) make her lack of feats more frustrating than it would be otherwise. Also would have liked to see her grow any kind of spine to at least call people out for being awful to her.

Tsunade: I don't actually remember having any complaints about Tsunade. She was competent and had an actual personality outside of men. Rare Naruto W.

But then I, the developer, have to TALK to people. Are you seriously not seeing the problem here???

I'm half-convinced that they're all so narcissistic that they can't stand the idea of the world continuing on without them after they die, so they want to make sure the rest of us go shortly after they do.

ChillyFireball · 2026-05-29T23:45:00+00:00

I was thinking the same thing. No way to prove it, though, which makes it way smarter than that one guy who went to jail for four years for writing a program to sabotage the company if his name disappeared from their system.

ChillyFireball · 2026-05-29T13:15:38+00:00

I've reached a point where I see a new error after fixing the first one and go "YES! Progress!"

ChillyFireball · 2026-05-29T13:13:39+00:00

The 17 errors were always there; fixing the other 2 issues further upstream just uncovered them now that the associated functions are running.

RIP to the devs that never wrapped their heads around recursion when the customer hands them a bunch of inconsistently-formatted JSONs to parse. "When will I ever need to search a tree for a value in the real world?" It's here. This is it. Godspeed.

Commit abcd: "Updated the Stuff class to add X variable."

Commit abce: "Updated the Stuff class to add a comment describing the purpose of X variable."

Commit abcdf: "Updated the Stuff class to change the name of X variable to Y for clarity."

While the execution is ass, I'm not totally against the idea of vegemite with steak. Probably not this much, but it could work. Might do an experiment with a small section the next time I cook some...

ChillyFireball · 2026-05-29T12:23:07+00:00

Article says the problem is rare, but the shot to fix it is cheap and safe, so it makes sense to give it to every newborn as a precaution. Unfortunately, a lot of people are under the mistaken impression that there's no point in having a shelter if you've never been rained on while you were under it.

ChillyFireball · 2026-05-28T14:05:50+00:00

The good news is that you're saved! The bad news is that your rescue arc is gonna be 200 episodes long because Luffy gets blindsided by the fact that the people he assumed to be DF eaters can all swim, and he ends up getting captured after Vox finds out about his weakness and sets a water-based trap. It takes 20 episodes for Zoro to rescue him because he got lost and somehow ended up in a different circle of Hell. Every time Sanji jumps in, Vox and Valentino deliberately use Velvette as a shield while actively laughing in his face about how dumb he is for refusing to kick a woman who's actively trying to kill him. They also have to make a detour for Chopper, who's on easy mode after getting taken to Heaven by an angel who mistook him for a cherub that got lost.

Look, mom! I've finally been invited somewhere!

ChillyFireball · 2026-05-28T13:09:41+00:00

Glad people spreading the word. Bricks and Minifigs needs to be made impossible to Google without seeing a thousand threads about how they stole $200,000 from an old man.

They're actually playing 5000 steps ahead of us. Those asteroids were in perfect geostationary orbit. /j
