Wouldn't it make sense if the content of it could be auto-generated as well for the users' locale directly with no need for JS? Either as a date in the example "4 days ago" or "in …

I spent waaay too long trying to figure out why my CSS rule didn't work. It doesn't accept me to overwrite an already existing one. The rules did not specify this at all. It is not…

How would you deal with this common issue in many multiplayer shooters?: - I see someone sniping - I go behind a wall to safety - I still die From the enemy snipers perspective I w…
