If you linearly squish all three colors into the center to try to mix them, you end up with so little paint that you can't even paint outside the initial circles and mixing region, even if you do the circular motions that are supposed to make more paint.

My favorite is the knobs where some of them you can grab and rotate like they are physical but other ones only react to the vertical position of the cursor so you feel like a crazy person trying to use them

Yeah it seems like if they wanted to make it appeal to Apple people they would make it more consistent and subtle. It's all so clean and then the numbers look like they came off a special calculator for people with failing eyesight.

Each paragraph on this page uses the body style from style.css.

body { font-family: Georgia, Serif; font-size: 100%; background: #898; margin-top: .5em; margin-bottom: .5em; }

Font size is 100%, so it will respect your font sizing. You might be doing something weird on your end.

https://www.codingfont.com/ is a fun way to compare fonts side by side and see just how similar some of them really are. Also kind of fun to see if your favorite font makes it through a blind comparison bracket.

They are less efficient and require larger/more robust bearings than standard horizontal turbines. They look neat, but a "standard" turbine will produce more power in the same footprint and require less material to produce. One advantage of the vertical axis turbines is that the "business end" is at the bottom, making it easier to maintain without climbing up a tower. They just stink at the one thing they are supposed to do.

This is the dumbest post I've seen on this website. Do you also go into cafes and knock the tip jar off the counter? Or do you just ignore it if you don't want to tip?

Do you want the graphs with 300 squares to be bigger than your screen, or do you want the graph with 1 square to be 30x30 px for no reason? They're just zoomed.

If you set it to custom curve and then set the numbers or ticks to the outside, they go outside of the usable area and get clipped off.
