If I ever find myself with the money to do this, that was exactly what I was thinking.

I’d love to do something similar to an El Camino. I don’t even need triple digit range; I’d use it as a local runabout, mostly to my art studio.

I got laid off a while ago and I’m privileged enough to take time to reconsider what I want to do. I’ve been learning how to sketch which supports my bigger passion- printmaking. I’ve primarily been doing linocut which is carving negative space into linoleum, inking it up, and printing it on paper. I’ve got a membership at a local atelier and have branched out into drypoint, kitchen lithography, and what I guess is called LEGOpress. I’m sparking a lot of joy working with my hands every day. I have been finding adequate challenge in honing my craft as I try to figure out how to draw/carve the images I see in my mind.

Instagram is the same way if a link is dropped into the comments. Infuriating.

Any docs or talks about this somewhere?

If you're using Apache you could just use Server Side Includes and forget the JS.

Vue is about as ancient yet people still use that. Python is even older.

Why is that? Why would soldering the connections vs plugging them in affect how much data per second they transfer?

If they move jobs every two years, that’s 5 periods of interviewing. 40 interviews per period doesn’t seem too out there.

I can easily switch back and forth. I have more than 34 keys, but I don't use the number row or modifier keys. My layout is also columnar, similar to the OP's.

Could be confused with Feathers, a Javascript web framework.

I’d love to see that.

Maybe it displays oddly on your phone but all I’ve seen is effusive praise for how the landing page is constructed. The graphic is meaningless but the information around it is informative. The graphic itself is meant to inspire rather than inform.

Does anyone remember the parody of this where the answer is an “abbatoir” and the character also has to be every animal?

I recall using cartoon logic to think that the web might be stretchy or bouncy. I’m way from my desk right now so I can’t easily consult the doc, but I recall Manny’s observations filling in whatever else I needed to do to solve the puzzle.

The only puzzle that stumped me was much later in the game, when a pneumatic tube demon asked me questions about Maximino where the answer was a number. I was so used to gleaning info from conversations or Manny’s quips that I didn’t realize the demon was using some bingo number picker or something in the background.
