I'm stunned by the image showing the difference between original and what Google apparently considers "high quality"

I'm curious about the actual percentage of US adults who have ever used a delivery service (e.g. Uber Eats). I imagine it's far lower than you think.

The "Avoiding animation pollution" section has a few minor typos,

`transition: * 0.6s ease` won't work anyway, `*` is a selector, they're looking for a value of `all`. Omitting the transition property all together (i.e. `transition: 1s`) is what people often do but this is bad practice for the reasons they stated.

Also, for the CSS examples I believe they mean to set `.animated:hover` to `opacity: 1;` not 0.

I like the idea of using an SVG mask to make a transparent background on the jpg.

I'd add the NWS to that. I don't know of a better place to get weather information and forecasts than weather.gov. Perhaps it's just a lack of ads on the website compared to every other weather site.

And maybe in a few years they'll find a way to shove ads in your face while stopped at a light.

This doesn't actually work, the value attribute of the input doesn't change as a user types something.

With that said, I still think there is a a big discovery yet to be made with browsers leaking users' history via the :visited selector. Only a few CSS properties can be set with it (all related to color). But if there was a way to detect the color difference or timing of the painting that would be a big deal.

Possibilities might be with mix-blend-mode, @property, or applying "slow" css properties like a blurry text-shadow dozens of times. I've played around with this a little but haven't found a crack yet.

Could this mean it's a bad idea to drink Coke from a styrofoam cup?
