Ah, the quintessential Reddit experience.

I think OP just made a small mistake with some of the CSS/JS that handles resizing the game window on mobile viewports. In some cases the buttons are outside of the game, and in some cases the game window isn't using up the full screen real estate.

Has anyone done any benchmarks yet to see how jQuery 4 compares to jQuery 3.7?

I can't see some of the UI buttons regardless of whether I toggle desktop mode or portrait/landscape.

While "the classics" may have some educational and cultural value, many of them came off as dry and pretentious.

There are countless anecdotes online of people who loved to read books as a kid but thoroughly hated reading by the end of high school or college, which is a terrible outcome.

I think that English classes in general are far too prescriptive and narrow in what they assign students to read, particularly when it comes to fiction. They seem to adopt the attitude of "These books are well-written classics. You have to read them, and if you don't enjoy them then there's something wrong with you."

Forcing students to read specific boring material might make sense in other classes like History or Science where there are very specific facts that they need to remember, but the required reading portion of English classes doesn't need to be handled in such a rigid way.

I suspect that we would end up with far better results if we gave students a curated list of popular books and had them pick out their favorites to read rather than just telling them to go read Ethan Frome and write an essay on loneliness afterwards.

And the smart fridge equivalent is either PiHole, or.. not buying a smart fridge.

However, if you find yourself encountering these types of situations often, you may wish to protect yourself with software like NordVPN.

NordVPN is...

What's especially sad is that some major progress was made toward having a free official system just a few years ago, but now it's being torn apart.

It's sad how many elements this is still the case for in 2025. A good chunk of them can be blamed on Safari.

Probably the most extreme example of this is <input type="date"> which is supposedly production-ready but still has so many browser quirks that it's almost always better to use a JS date picker, which feels icky.

Quality concerns aside, I've always disliked having text on the top and bottom of the screen simultaneously. My eyes are focused on the bottom of the screen, so I sometimes don't even realize that there's text at the top and have to pause/rewind to figure out what I missed.

I think putting both speakers' captions at the bottom with some kind of differentiator makes more sense.

They probably went with a "lowest bidder" approach and then didn't sufficiently check the quality of work being submitted.

Everyone speaks with such confidence that it seems like they know what they're talking about. Then they starting talking the same way about something you're more familiar with and the illusion is quickly shattered.

Actually, the whole page appears to be 404'ing now?

Ah, the WordPress model.

They always seem to turn out the same no matter how you cook them, yet the back of the box insists that you need to poke several holes in the plastic and stir it halfway through and let it cool for several minutes.

I'm convinced that they only add those steps to make people feel less guilty about heating up premade meals.

Technology was a mistake

Even more concerning is that the deletion "consensus" is often formed by just half a dozen people who almost always cast a deletion vote.

I pop into AFD discussions occasionally and try to put my thumb on the scale but always end up disappointed with the results.

Someone should make a "Deleted From Wikipedia" website composed of nothing but Wikipedia articles that were deleted due to supposedly insufficient coverage/notability.

TL;DR - For July 2024 to July 2025, the inflation rate for "all items" was 2.7% while the rate for "electricity" was 5.5%.

Impossible Foods was always more impressive, both from a taste and scientific perspective. They invested hundreds of millions of dollars into cutting-edge food science, including a new plant-based heme production process. That's in contrast with much of their competition (like Morningstar, or countless other brands) who just slapped together some bean paste and spices and called it a day.

Of course, that wording is deliberately vague for a reason. Judges, especially conservative ones, have often let states use wording like that to get away with female-toplessness bans, blue laws, religious imagery in government buildings, etc, since that kind of wording lets them avoid including discriminatory language in the law itself, therefore supposedly not violating the constitution.

I had an Amazon review removed because apparently mentioning that a competing product is more effective goes against their TOS.

I had a WordPress plugin review removed because apparently a critical vulnerability that got our site hacked isn't a valid reason to give it one star.

I had a local BBQ chain offer to give me a free bottle of sauce if I let them watch me give them a 5-star rating on Google.

I've seen tons of video game and app websites apply "anti review-bombing" measures to factor out thousands of low ratings for being supposedly off-topic, often for major games that they're financially affiliated with through sales or advertising.

And that's just for third-party websites. If a company's website has customer ratings/reviews for their own products, then the conflict of interest is too great to even pretend that they might be legitimate.

Upon calling the number, you get an automated system that immediately asks for your social security number and won't let you proceed until you do.

The phone number was nowhere to be found on the bank's website nor did it appear in a single Google result.

Sounds like an obvious scam, right? Nope. It was genuinely one of the bank's official phone numbers, and I had to nag them through three separate channels to get them to add it to their website, which they did a week later.
