> And for some reason that I literally can't understand, the original gold bears are almost unavailable in UK

Like someone else has mentioned you're more likely to find them in corner shops and in the discount stores like Home Bargains and B&M.

But in my opinion they're probably not readily available because they're just not very popular. Gummy Bears are a bit boring and bland compared to the other sweets available.

Growing up I'd sometimes get a 10p mix up from the corner shop after school and there's no way I'd have wasted a penny on a gummy bear when I could have gotten a giant strawberry, a ufo, a black jack, a fruit salad, a fried egg, or best of all a foam shrimp/banana.

> great characters

Squid Game had some of the worst characters going. Very one dimensional and in some cases were just awful stereotypes.

No they weren't.

The Man in the High Castle, Transparent, The Tick, etc..

I mean, they're not exactly great. But decent enough and no worse than some of the filler Netflix put out.

> Why? From his description it sounds like he enjoyed it and that's probably the best kind of work.

The work will still be there for him the next day, there's no need to work overtime on it.

Sound can work well on the web[1], as long as it isn't over the top, there's no reason it couldn't be used more.

I've been considering adding some sounds[2] to the project I'm working on.

> I remember we would choose to work overtime due our addiction to the problem we were solving

Oof, sounds like the author is the joke.

Don't forget that Konami also had the "International Superstar Soccer Pro" games which were named "World Soccer: Winning Eleven '97" in Japan and "Goal Storm '97" in the US.

Seems like it would be a pointless expense having to post new speed limit signage on the entrance and exit when (well designed) roundabouts naturally cause cars to slow to appropriate speeds.

A distracted driver is going to cause an accident no matter the speed limit.

Disclaimer: UK driver, love roundabouts.

> For rendering of the JSX, we use nanossr, which is a tiny server-side renderer that uses twind under the hood for styling

Even if it was just basic trivia it would be helpful (Year of release, director, etc.).

I think the biggest problem is that it's very easy to simply just not have seen a movie and no amount of screenshots will help guess that. But you may have heard about it or remember that a certain actor was in it etc.

The Japanese Government didn't want an unconditional surrender as it would have meant the Emperor (Who was seen as quasi-divine) would have potentially been tried for war crimes and executed.

They didn't care about their citizens, just the Emperor.

Fantastic video which explains everything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCRTgtpC-Go

As mentioned in the article a lot of people in the UK were introduced to a certain brand of Asian cinema via 'Tartan Asia Extreme'.

I was no different. As a student I'd venture into the tiny world cinema section of HMV and flick through the titles looking for anything that had the 'TARTAN ASIA EXTREME' branding on it.

So many fantastic movies in the collection [1]. Oldboy, Battle Royale, Dark Water, Hard Boiled, Ring, Infernal Affairs, Audition, etc.

Or if the Easter egg was obfuscated and looked potentially malicious[1].

Thankfully Google make collapsible plugs[1] which make taking my charger on holiday nice and painless. Shame more companies don't so something similar if the product is portable.

Is this GDPR compliant? I worked for a company previously that offered a "recover abandoned sales" feature and it required explicit opt in from the user.

Also, where is the following figure from because it seems to be much higher than the figures we used to see:

> On average, abandoned checkout emails convert at a rate of 15%

> The placebo effect can bring powerful relief

Can it? I don't believe there are any studies that actually show this.

I'm from England (North East) and we also tend to use "like" when it doesn't make total sense, but mostly in speech and not in writing.

It's used as a bit of a filler word ("There were, like, a lot of people, like, just standing around") or as a way to soften the end of a sentence ("That show was really good like!").

Nutrio (https://www.aurora-nutrio.com) was doing the rounds on Twitter recently for being an utterly ridiculous product.

I believe one of the reasons for this is that in general the sporting calendar is pretty full and this two week period in July/August is always empty.

I've been using an extension called Tweak New Twitter[1] and it's great. Removes most of the engagement driven bloat.

Anti-Zionism isn't the same thing as anti-Semitism.

Seems like a cool extension, will give it a try.

Reminds me of the GhostText[1] extension I used to use for Sublime to sync an input field with my editor.

I'd personally skip point 3. Refilling my glass is a perfect way to remember to take regular breaks to get away from my desk for a few minutes.

The CSS could very well be checking that

// The viewport is in a landscape orientation, i.e., the width is greater than the height.

@media (orientation: landscape)

// The viewport is in a portrait orientation, i.e., the height is greater than or equal to the width.

@media (orientation: portrait)

It doesn't have to be something complex like playing a game of League of Legends. Just playing something more accessible and simple like Codenames or the Jackbox games works too.

Don't forget the Renault TWIZY.

Nice project.

For the Typography Measures[1] you have the values set to em's. Is there a reason for using em over ch?

e.g. --measure-narrow: 20em; --measure-narrow: 45ch;

For myself, in the UK, it's not about which mode of transport is faster but which mode of transport is safer.

Judging by the sidebar navigation on Statux I'm guessing you're using a Mac?
