    OMG what a thrilling talk by at (“How to crash a plane”). 🤯 He vividly took us through the iconic United 232 crash to teach about good collaboration. What fantastic storytelling. I audibly gasped several times. I want more!!

    Today marks the first day in my lifetime that there's been a living recipient of the Nobel Prize in physics who is a woman-Donna Strickland. Although, her university hasn't promoted her to full professor and she didn't have a Wikipedia page until ~2 hours ago.

    CSS+HTML nerds: If you use details::before or details::after on a <details>/<summary> widget, would you expect: 1. A) pseudos hide/show with non-summary content B) pseudos always visible 2. A) ::before is before <summary> B) ::before is after <summary>, before rest of content
