   > (rip cache) You'd have a separate theme.css that defined the new variables. Because of CSS variables you can keep the main style.css and all the markup the same.

   “Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don't know which half.” - John Wanamaker Half was true in his time (a century ago) but I think our numbers are way worse.

   If we allowed this to happen, we'd have major motion picture Star Wars blockbusters that were basically fan fiction levels of quality. Can you imagine?

    You're missing the recent Nintendo news, maybe. They've been copyright-striking streamers who play their games. They earned in a couple months the reputation that companies like EA and Blizzard took years to earn.

    There's a really compelling theory that most of what's buried at Pompeii (and presented as being from the ancient eruption) is actually from the 1700s eruption.

    A lot of biphasic sleepers claim to do one 4.5h session and one 1.5h session, and that it's like a hack on getting less sleep. You might be one of those. I need 8 in either mode. Earplugs and a sleep mask are helpful if you're hav

    I read it less as exaggeration and more as... art? The book is really well-written. It emphasizes things with a rhetorical tone that I thought was completely appropriate given how much our culture abuses sleep. He also specifically and thor
