I suggest for power users to run with JS off by default and turn it on per website.

I had a similar idea a few months ago, and I'm so glad that there are people out there who are really doing this. Fantastic.

> “If they have a certain condition and they have a toy just like them, it helps the children understand what’s going on. I’ve had calls with more than 70 play therapists across the country and from that I’ve been told there aren’t many toys like it, but they’re desperately needed to help these children not only understand why they’re different, but to feel less alone.”

Great story. The Teddy Bear is really a wonderful thing and ought to be considered one of the most important “inventions“ of the last ~century. They’ve brought a lot of joy to a lot of kids (and adults too.)

I came across this link recently and bookmarked it, as it reminded me of the fun and quirky articles that used to be more prevalent online. A time capsule from the 90s, almost.
