Correct. And it has _both_ terrible holographic Sega games. Galloping Ghost Pinball just opened up the other week down the block a bit. Can't wait to see the new Stern tables at the Midwest Gaming Classic in Milwaukee this weekend.

It's also a business obligation, in my opinion, because 1) an increasing percentage of the population has some form of disability, and 2) not accommodating them has a bottom-line business impact. There's a moral, legal, and busine

I guess I'm confused by Nicepage being "Web Design 3.0", being told Bootstrap is yesteryear, then using Bootstrap 3.x.x (and a boatload of jQueryUI dependencies) with !important directives sprinkled all over the place. Don&#x

Google was also supposed to start penalizing sites that used their AMP pages as interstitials, but...I'm not sure whatever became of that.

!s = Startpage, anonymizing by proxy the Google SERPs. I know, I'm having to retrain my DDG Bang muscle memory myself.

It's definitely not a knock on you or your position; it's more a knock on these sorts of politically-motivated, but empty, sweetheart deals. Walker's a particularly efficient trigger when the subject comes up. Also, I'm
