It'd have to be a long hall. The tapestry is, like 70m!

Agreed. Same goes for adults unfortunately. And for some reason, it reminded me that we used to have lawn darts when I was a kid.

Then let the doors be shut on them so they may play the fool nowhere but in their own house!

Ugh, that's scummy. I still carry around a Libre CGM reader rather than installing the app.

Similarly, I would avoid Factorio then if hobby programming is burning you out.

Maybe they meant to link to the element where it says the guy invented Javascript. That would have been more appropriate.

Seems to have been smoothed out though. The Ode to Castlevania DLC is arguably the best the game has to offer, and apparently with Konami's blessing. "Beating" the level is truly a joy.

I was there last year. It's outstanding. It's also a nice little town.

The unfortunate part is that while a lot of people might want that information, few will pay for it. I ran a small company's paywall, like this was a small chain of local papers. We could barely give the subscriptions away.

Your first point is true, unequivocally so. I watched it happen ... from inside the newsroom for almost two decades.

We were actually taught in journalism school to write straight-up news for a Grade 5 level audience. You could get fancy if you chose in opinion pieces.

To your second point, if it bleeds it leads. That's always been the case. Journalism is, and always has been, a business. A sensational news story of yesteryear is today's viral content. It's the same thing — both are desirable because they sell.
