leaf blowers are low on my list of things to fix in LA, but i don't like them on balance mainly because of your last point. it's almost never faster or better to use a leaf blower over the combination of rake and broom. it's

that's a whole lot of non-sequitur there, as the weed is entirely beside the point. the russian government wanted to make a geopolitical point and gain leverage, and they would have found something else to trump up and attract mediopol

ha, i think you might have a bit of a wait. apple has a tendency to sit on new products for a long time while they wait for the market to develop and while they work out UX, supply chain, and marketing issues. also, the cadence of product r

you could distinguish a loaf of bread, which is processed, from boxed bread products like crackers or cookies (ultraprocessed), but i doubt that distinction matters much for our health, as they'll both likely include said additives in

nice, i may have to look into using these for my personal css framework project. i'm still not sold on svg as an unalloyed good over font icons (as they're really verbose and cluttery in markup), but they do have some good points

i appreciate you contributing your experience on this. to be more specific, it looks to me like a lot of the css variables are too granular, likely because they're being generated via scss functions, and so must conform to a set of alg

it's not the same, but apple could add the home button on the side, even if they remove it from the front. it could incorporate the fingerprint sensor like the ipad, or they could use an in-display fingerprint sensor, combined with the
