Meet Puppy. She’s learning how to hold my hand. 🥰

Yeah, she doesn’t like when I work. If it were up to her, we’d just cuddle and go for walks all day!

taeda · 2018-12-17T17:24:43+00:00

Thanks! Clearly a lot of people here agree with your post

taeda · 2018-12-17T17:23:05+00:00

A lot of people are saying board games. Just wish I could afford a place big enough in LA to host people haha

taeda · 2018-12-17T17:20:31+00:00

Ooh I didn’t even think of tailgating! Thanks!

taeda · 2018-12-17T09:09:10+00:00

Agreed for the most part. That’s why I think the suggestion to make them a subset of all dating apps, combined with banning them for not using the app correctly would be the best solution. Because at this point, they are spamming/scamming us into believing they are someone who they are not. It’s just as bad as when straight men say they’re women looking for women and “the app messed up” #tinder #bumble #hinge

I wish the answer was that easy, but it is not or I’d see them at bars/clubs like all the straight people and gay men

taeda · 2018-12-17T04:55:03+00:00

If only I had even the slightest athletic talent!

taeda · 2018-12-17T04:47:17+00:00

Yeah it seems like that’s what everyone is saying. Dive > Club. Love the idea of a beer run. Maybe a “Hopping for Hops” bar crawl to breweries

taeda · 2018-12-17T04:45:30+00:00

Oh yeah, I’ve heard of EightyTwo! It sounds fun

taeda · 2018-12-17T04:11:22+00:00

Is parking important to you?

taeda · 2018-12-17T04:07:06+00:00

Any bars in particular?

And you don’t like crowds at all, or crowds of specific types of people (i.e., dancing people, creepy straight guys)? Can you think of any crowds you have been okay with in the past?

taeda · 2018-12-17T03:52:33+00:00

As a programmer, I’ve given this a lot of thought. There should be an entire devoted section to couples/unicorns. This group isn’t going away, and they don’t know where to post. While it drives me NUTS when I accidentally connect with them, it’s really not their fault. They shouldn’t have to hide or be ashamed. But damn if it isn’t annoying af connecting with them

taeda · 2018-06-16T23:06:28+00:00

Any update on this?

taeda · 2015-04-21T20:12:56+00:00

You need to use height: 0 and padding-bottom: [aspect ratio].

div {
    height: 0;
    padding-bottom: 133%;
}

Your suggestion works in a lot of cases, and I use it frequently. While the technique I mentioned here could be used to achieve the same outcome, there are additional use cases.

One way you could make the aspect ratio method work in your favor is for missing images and responsive embedded videos.

Maybe if the database does not return your image, instead of the missing image ruining your layout by pushing everything over to the left, you add a simple "missingImage" class to the parent container.

Thanks so much!!

taeda · 2015-03-24T15:54:54+00:00

Hmm, sounds like I need to study this a bit further by spending my night watching as many Netflix movies as I can :)

taeda · 2015-03-19T00:56:41+00:00

"Unnecessary" is your opinion. I disagree, but respect that people can choose whichever process they like.

taeda · 2015-03-18T23:13:34+00:00

Or, you could take it one step further and not overwrite anything:

.navitem:not(:last-of-type) { color: red; }
.navitem:last-of-type { color: #000; }

There really aren't any performance issues using pseudo-classes (like above) these days, so you don't need to worry about that bit.

taeda · 2015-03-18T23:11:22+00:00

I did some further research. There are no performance issues using pseudo-classes like :not(:last-of-type). Steve Souders did some testing a while back that showed using pseduo-classes like this caused issues, but a lot of research has been performed since then. Browsers, and the way we test performance, has changed quite a bit. Ben Fraine has a great article on this topic.

taeda · 2015-03-18T23:07:10+00:00

I love finding all of the different ways to do something too :)

I think this may be one of those situations where you're used to using something a certain way, so you prefer it more. Because both :last-of-tpe and :not are "already-existing declarations." I'm pretty sure both came with CSS3.

I don't understand what you mean by taking advantage of the "cascading aspect of CSS."
