I was really surprised by “Lodge” being Montana’s most common word, but it checks out if you’re using Wikipedia’s list of municipalities in Montana. HOWEVER, I think you’ll get different results from the list on visitmt.com/cities-towns — lots of “big” and “fort” for starters

Every now and then I get fed up with the Apple ecosystem and consider switching, and then I realize there’s nowhere to go that would be any better

Eric is right that’s this is an excellent read. The only place I depart from it is the intro: “When CSS-in-JS first appeared, it felt revolutionary.” Maybe so but that’s about when I started splitting off from the mainstream of development. CSS-in-JS sounds fundamentally like a nightmare to me
Every paragraph of this article is a banger. “We don’t need to reinvent styling. We just need to respect the boundaries that made the web work in the first place. CSS is not broken; our discipline is. The answer isn’t more abstraction—it’s better understanding.” thenewstack.io/css-in-js-th...

Just want to say that seeding a playlist with this song made for a lovely relaxing snow-covered morning music set, including Margo Guryan, and Vashti Bunyan, and Trees’ version of “She Moved Thro’ the Fair”
I want to love this track without reservation but that guy singing in the background, first falsetto then later in baritone, keeps bothering me

Whenever I seed a playlist with Bill Staines, it immediately follows him up with John Gorka, and I have no complaints with that at all

By the way the answer was “no.” I thought they did a pretty good job of signaling that a character was somebody significant from an earlier movie, giving enough context that i wasn’t lost but not so much that an experienced viewer would be annoyed.
This is a real question, not a joke: Will i need to watch Now You See Me before watching the third movie?

“Harry, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Everyday, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it, don’t wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the Men’s store. A catnap in your office chair. Or the perfect song for the perfect moment.”
