brain spark thanks to @deafferret this morning, and I’m restarting my refactor by stuffing at least the global Tailwind layout classes into a stylesheet with @apply

We are enjoying lunch outside because it’s 74F and sunny.

ah the monthly lottery of “who forgot to do what” for ADHD med refills

I was trying not to be my normal paranoid antsy self reminding provider a week or two in advance but it looks like they forgot to submit it.

So I will resume being my normal paranoid antsy self, at least as far as medication is concerned.

@ricmac Dangit. useit was still a good link as recently as last year.

Getting HTTP 429 when I look up snapshots before October of 2024, but it was already redirecting to nngroup at that point.

I’ll try again later. They have snapshots of useit.com back to 1996, so the good stuff should still be available.

@nicknisi @deafferret well to contrast, my own default style is leaning on semantic element structure and mostly-classless CSS, with a little flavor for microformats2 indicators.

So for me Tailwind feels like formatting with <TABLE> and <FONT> tags, mainly because of the added abstraction between me and the CSS I already know.

The sudden urge, if someone proclaimed an absence of pronouns, to congratulate this person on coming out as NG.

Nongrammatical.

The other reason I stay away from people is to reduce my odds of getting punched in the face.

Enderman likes what I’ve done with the space, but thinks the room could use a little greenery. Some houseplants, maybe a little dirt for visitors to push around.
