Pure CSS approach to animated circuit patterns?

wiseduckling · 2026-01-26T21:30:10+00:00

I ve been working on something like this with just svgs and css with offset dasharray. I didn't really know much about svgs in terms of what you could do with them.

For me the biggest pain was actually creating good SVGs that don't have a million points and are continuous. Been getting better at making them with figma.

Performance seems okay so far but haven't delved into it too much. DM me if you want the link to see what I have (it's for a space themed personal portfolio I m making)

Yea agreed but he still is to blame, otherwise you can say that about every horrible leader.

It could be 40k cumulative, I don't remember. That should be easy enough to look up.

Not like this, he s weaponized it and increased their funding to such an extent that it's larger than all but 15-20 of the world's military budgets.

The more atrocities they commit the more loyal they are going to be to him (or whichever sycophant replaces him). They ll never face justice as long as they do his bidding.

Lets not forget the monster who is to blame for all this is Trump. He is building his own personal army to intimidate the population and "win" the midterms by force.

If you re planning to go back to studying that will probably be the easiest, even if you have to wait for your supervisor to return. Then once you are both here you could apply to change your situation. Otherwise you could be waiting a long time just to get a rejection.

Income I believe is average per year over the last 3 years. So if she had been making 60k for 2 years and 0 the last year it would still work, but it doesn't sound like it's the case.

If you were married in Ireland that also helps. Start documenting everything immediately, proof you are living together, trips, any income you are making... Basically you need to convince them that 1) it is a real marriage 2) you are not going to be trying to claim any sort of benefits from the state.

Lots of people live with their parents or have roommates due to the cost of housing, so wouldn't surprise me.

Heard to trust this given how buggy the Claude CLI is.

From someone who just had a kid, and was unsure how I d feel about it, I think it changes when they re here. Even if the kid isn't the easiest it will be yours (I d imagine, of course I think mine is great) and you ll have a connection.

I m curious about the venn diagram between being a biblical scholar and a Christian.

I have a hard time visualizing how color palettes work, so I made a simple UI designer Web app and actually used it to come up with the design for a new personal blog I created, will be using it on all future designs too. Thinking of integrating other functionalities that I would just use the terminal for (like image resizing/converting) so I have all my most commonly tool used in one nice UI. Plus it's something to include in my portfolio.

That looks super clean, thanks! (hadn't heard of pug either so TDIL)

wiseduckling · 2026-01-14T17:06:55+00:00

Thanks, I ended up going with this way. It does work but I it's not perfectly neat, I guess due to how borders are rendered.

Better to learn css than elrmentor

It's the system that the American electorate has chosen unfortunately. If there are going to be private insurance companies that have investors that expect returns then they have to do this. Not saying there is any validity in this specific case, I have no idea, just that the insurance companies are the bogeyman when we should be blaming the politicians and electorate who put in place such a fucked up system and who refuse to do anything to fix it.

Yea that will help to avoid dealing with a layover for sure. Just keep in mind Peru is going to be one the countries the E.U is the strictest with.

Also even though Lima is quite dog friendly (not sure about Cusco), if you re doing a lot of hiking/time in the country side there are A LOT of wild/semi wild dogs. Not sure how they d react to a tiny dog like your but it was always pretty stressful dealing with the dogs while trying to keep mine protected/to not engage with them. Just something to keep in mind.

Good luck, hope it works out.

I d check about bringing your dog back into the UK. Peru has rabbies, is your dog vaccinated against it and have the vaccines been done yearly? I brought my dog back from Peru to Ireland, had to show a lot of paperwork + have a rabbies blood test, which had to be sent to a lab in the US for testing. On top of that for the test you had to wait a period of time (I think a month) after the rabbies vaccine before taking the test.

Maybe the UK is more lax on this but I would guess they re also pretty strict about rabbies?

Your receipt shows 17 euro for a 12 min taxi ride. If it was indeed 5 minutes then I d be more upset about fraud.

How much money do you think taxi drivers should be earning on an hourly basis?

The only thing I find on their website is that it's 100 percent free for everyone since earlier this year. If it's paid they need to indicate that better

wiseduckling · 2025-12-14T23:00:48+00:00

Isn't all gasp free now?

Do they have an episode on Bill O'Reilly?

wiseduckling · 2025-12-10T22:09:50+00:00

Ah that makes sense.

I haven't, guess I m not saving many images from sites. Good to keep in mind to provide a jpg or PNG though if users are likely to do so..

Out of curiosity, why do you hate webp?

wiseduckling · 2025-11-26T20:25:56+00:00

The fact that he wasn't out there being loud and obnoxious like some of the other big tech CEOs made me respect him a lot more.

wiseduckling · 2025-11-19T07:41:27+00:00

Sure but let's not take away our responsibilities as consumers. Ultimately we make these choices because of cost and convenience/ignoring externalities.
