    You read "where the main mode of pitch control is by moving the tuning slide" as an independent statement? What does that mean on its own?

    The terms "board game" and "tabletop game" are considered pretty much interchangable by the vast majority of hobby board gamers, "board game" just tends to be the default. There's …

    I'm at Diggerland right now, watching my 9 year old drive a 8.5T JCB on his own lol. This place is so much fun, I'm glad to have it nearby!

    Maybe I misread it then. I interpreted it as "not low for the average person, but not that expensive _for someone with greater than average wealth_"

    I think you misread it. The context was, _not low_ (ie. high) for the average person. For someone with a higher than average wealth however, £5k isn't all that much, especially if …

    Or infuse them in the milk/cream and then strain out?

    For most games you _don't_ study a manual for hours. Of course there are some crazy epic games for really hardcore gamers, but rule books for mid-weight game tend to take 5-15 minu…

    Another consequence of this is that there's no way to share a specific "slide", which is a shame because there's an example about 2/3s of the way down that's really cool but there'…

    Ctrl+Z for undo would be super helpful here, I kept doing that out of habit and it was annoying to have to go into the corner to click the undo button

    Is making that button clickable the solution here? Presumably the text is there to inform the user that they proceed by clicking on the arrow in the corner. Letting them proceed by…

    Absolutely, just google 'css animated checkboxes' and you'll get a tonne of solutions

    I guess it would depend on what you're looking to get out of your car. I only open the door twice - once to get in, once to get out - so a small nuisance like being harder to open …

    I find it frustrating that you have to click to refresh the result. Why it doesnt't autorefresh after a short period makes no sense to me. I kept typing in words and thinking it wa…

    I've noticed that a lot of my daughters friends put on American accents when they're playing; we're in the UK, so presumably they just watch a lot of american tv. I don't think it'…

    Took about 4 seconds for me. Still, regardless of load time I found it annoying that that was all that happened

    Just search the source for one of the random texts, they're all just there in an array

    It's worse than that even. The actual color blocks are the same size, the gap is added on, so Safari gets about an 8% "boost" just from having multiple chart elements

    I agree, some interesting info there but I struggled with the delivery

    I think that's correct. If I were to do it for my kids I'd probably whip through and colour in the squares and circles beforehand to make it simpler for them

    I think the problem is that w3schools _was_ terrible. It certainly seems to have improved, but it's reputation - amongst the older coders that I know, at least - is in the toilet

    An alternate spelling could help with this; how about 'Vue'? \s
