Pro tip: Use 100dvh rather than 100vh. dvh is dynamic so it reacts to changes in the available device height. Useful as on mobile browsers the height of the window often changes when you use certain browser features
According to another comment this site might be AI slop so I'm not defending it specifically, but in general journalism is traditionally a service expected to be subsidized by advertising, unlike an appliance you spend thousands of dollars on. The danger is that it becomes normalized that appliances work that way too.
Spending $25k on a car (if they exist) is just an insane thing to do in my opinion. In the UK we are quite lucky in that the used car market is very good. I always just buy a ~£1,000 diesel and run it into the ground, then rinse and repeat.
I think in 17 years of motoring I've spent around £5,500 in total on cars.
It is a shame people run them into the ground. If looked after and a bit of money (not a lot of money) spent they would work well for another decade or two.
Its more expensive with the cost of labour in the UK to keep a car going, especially once it starts needing welding. We apply a lot of salt to the roads in the winter so after 20 years most cars will need welding work.
Second hand cars are also cheaper in the UK compared to other countries because we're right hand drive so there aren't as many markets that they can be exported to second hand.
I live in the UK. Cars aren't that cheap (at least for something half decent), labour costs are dependant on what is being done. While the roads do get salted, rust is more dependant on the vehicle model. Also there are preventative measures you can take that aren't that expensive again rust.
I MOT it (obviously) and service every year but if I know something needs doing that's going to be expensive I just live with it. Especially if it's electrical because that can be a mine field and cost lots of labour time. Sometimes I try and make repairs myself and learn something in the process
A friend and I bought a car with a busted door for £100 some years ago, we got a cheap replacement door, incompetently resprayed it to be roughly the colour of the rest of the car and sold it, for £100 :-|
Yes, these were fun too. You know somebody should take these and add mouse position as the event trigger for eye movement, that would probably turn it into a nice creepy version of the Simpsons.
I changed it so they are ordered randomly now. Let see if that makes a difference. Having them in alphabetical does make it easier to find what you want but there is a search.
For some questions I'm going to have to display the answers in some kind of fixed order, for example chronological order for films
That would be good but I wanted to make an app where you just do a simple, fun task every day. With an ELO rating system you can just keep going and going whereas with this it only takes a minute or so
It is not a “mistake”, it’s just two separate meanings of the word fruit. I find it annoying that some technical field assigned a meaning to a term that had already in wide use for hundreds of years and then people started claiming that people using it in the original way are “wrong”.
A more extreme version is what I call the Stonehenge cycle:
- humanity names something, e.g. Stonehenge,
- humanity finds other, somewhat similar things, and names them similarly, e.g. Woodhenge, Seahenge,
- people studying the field realise that the term has become so broad as to lose any meaning, and attempt to create a tighter definition of what a thing is - e.g. a ‘henge’ is ‘ a roughly circular or oval-shaped bank with an internal ditch surrounding a central flat area’
- the original thing no longer qualifies under the new definition, e.g. Stonehenge is not a ‘henge’.
