   Yes, they must be. Alex said he built it over several years. And more so because it was high in the mountains.

   Humans are not rectangular. They sit, shift, slouch, and more, into all kinds of non-linear, non-rectangular, and even non-polygonal positions. Just had a live example of this last night at an impromptu music event that suddenly manifested

    Check out earthships: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthship I have seen one, and met and talked briefly with the guy who built it. He is Alex Leeor, a British guy living in the mountains in Tamil Nadu, South India.

    No, I think it had a bundled one like Python's Tkinter, which was a wrapper over Tcl's Tk. Edit: this is it, Ruby Tk. https://ruby-doc.com/docs/ProgrammingRuby/html/ext_tk.html

    If you have the time, I suggest doing some research on the many available open source static site generators. One might meet your needs. If not quite, well, that's the beauty of open source ... you can modify or get someone to modify i

    Or requiring it just to render images. Actually seen some sites that work that way. And these were simple company pages or personal portfolio sites, so no reason why the images could not be static(ally served).

    Ruby has a Tk-based one too, but I don't remember the name, since I used it only a little, years ago, though I did some non-GUI Ruby and Rails web work.

    Nowadays while watching videos in YouTube, I get more occurrences of ads, even in short videos, compared to just a few days back. Very irritating. Started looking out for other options than YouTube.
