I seem to remember maybe 5 30sec ads so must be 2.5 minutes.

I even vaguely remember this was lampshaded in Fresh Prince (?)

Uncle Phil is having a heart to heart chat with young Nicky and in the middle says something like "ok nice talk see you in around 2 1/2 minutes" which I thought was hilarious

Hmm so BeyondCorp for gov - BeyondGov? Or am I totally off

Oof!

In all the best ways possible, this reads like an Asimov short story.

Sigh, I miss him so much...

> but electric vehicles are helping chip away at its dominance in the pursuit of energy efficiency.

I suspect the authors did not intend that pun ("chip away", get it ;-) )

Is there a name for such unintentional puns?

Put them on a tree, have rocks thrown at them, take them down.

(If done well enough, laugh all the way to the bank)

I feel dumber because I legit thought the trains' physical wipers (you know for rain etc) were somehow compromised?

If you click thru to the linked TC39 proposal [1], you will find that the site author is also one of its "Champion"s - so you know makes sense they would be stoked about it.

Also, personally I find MDN content somehow unnecessarily dense, especially for beginners, and actually appreciate this kind of content. YMMV.

In cricket, having a legal ball hit the stumps (three vertical sticks behind the batsman/batter) is an unambiguous way to get out.

A leg-before-wicket (LBW) out on the other hand happens if the umpire deems the ball would have struck the stumps if the batsman hadn't put their legs (really pads) in the way (there are other technicalities involved but thats the gist). A MLB ball/strike judgement seems similar in nature. Cricket has been using ball-tracking technology for over a decade now for determining LBW.
