      I've used up almost exactly half of the yarn I bought for this sweater I started yesterday, which is now almost exactly at the halfway mark. So I'm excited for the rousing game of yarn chicken I get to play for the rest of this project.

      Big Mistakes is the kinda show that a lot of me wants to eyeroll but the rest of me is enjoying the overacting, the throwaway lines, and absolutely ridiculous plot.

      Any suggestions for a better movie ratings/review site than RT?
      
      Lena and I just rented two movies that had ~90% ratings and bailed on both in less than a half an hour

      I don’t care what framework or design system you build with, you need to know how components get rendered in the browser, in HTML.
