There was an article on Tedium just ~1 week ago about the emergency numbers!

It references the birth of 999, but then continues with the story of emergency numbers in the US. Definitely an interesting read.

Yikes, the font on that website is incredibly distracting. Hard enough that I went and downloaded Readability for Chrome just to get through the article.

Reading more than a sentence caused my eyes to sort of glaze over and even when trying to focus I was reading but not grasping. Can't say I've ever had a font do that to me.

In cases like this, you can just "inspect" on the text block, find the rule for the font-family and set whatever font you like, no need for extensions :)

firefox reading mode (i believe it's the same devs as that chrome extension? icbw) is the first button i press on most sites. i couldn't do without it.
