      Impressed by the number of bikes and bike lanes in Bristol.
      
      The city could have said, look, we are made entirely of hills, biking is madness, maybe we could have a funicular or something.
      
      Instead they said no, we are strong, we can do it, we will have the finest quads in all the kingdom ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšด

      So, Chrome's "web standard" Prompt API:
      
      Mozilla: Opposed
      WebKit: Opposed
      Microsoft: Several concerns
      W3C TAG: Several concerns
      Developers: Mostly negative
      
      Chrome: Ships anyway.
      
      A sad time for web standards. But, I guess someone at Google will get promoted, so 'every cloudโ€ฆ'
