I figured out why it wouldn't work on my machine: @media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) { *, *::before, *::after { animation-duration: 0.01ms !important; animation-iteration-count: 1 !important; transition-duration: 0.01ms !important; } } With reduced-motion enabled (which is basically required in Tahoe :eyeroll:), animations complete immediately and there is no chance to click the salt/water.

Same reason for me, I don't want animations specifically in my OS. I wish there was a separate OS-level setting for apps.

Is this still happening? I thought I gutted the reduce animation coding

Just a meta-comment, this is the first time in my years on HN that every single comment on something is positive! You’ve really created something special here - and given a lot of people a brighter day. Thanks for sharing it!

Thanks for sharing that insight! I hope you learned something in the process as well! I hope to find time soon to incorporate all the ideas found in the comments.

How awesome that you were able to find this! I’m only missing a couple! The SRU is my final hurrah that I’m trying to get the play dynamic right. Balancing air demand with sulfur load without overwhelming the screen with bars and widgets.

> How awesome that you were able to find this! I’m only missing a couple! Missing a couple of features you want to add? The "able to find this" (the 1981 Exxon magazine) needs context to appreciate re: the dispersion of certain personal belongings over time. I would have picked the magazine up in 1981 or 1982 (possibly 1983) at the school energy fair, and it remained in my physical possession for the next 40-somethin…

Sulfur recovery unit is now online

This is amazing, and there should be these for every profession and job in the world. However, I also want to be able to auto-speedrun something like this, without intentionally "playing" a game. So that I can sit back and watch what's involved in a profession, without having to make lots of decisions.
