It seems unlikely to be an accident that they're measuring the length of Japan using an island (Etorofu/Iturup) that has been controlled by the Soviet Union and Russia since 1945 but is still claimed by Japan.
For those who find it difficult to imagine the entire length of the front line of the rus-Ukraine war, this is:
distance from Barcelona to Warsaw;
almost the entire length of the US border with Mexico;
distance from Etorofu to Nagasaki in Japan;
distance from moscow to The Hague.

I suspect that (like many fingerprinting aspects of text rendering) is already exposed through 2D canvas.

One of my local Indian restaurants offers 2, depending on how they've inferred your ethnicity over the phone. Either mild/medium or medium/spicy. It's the only Indian restaurant I know where my preference is mild. (My default is medium in US or Australia, spicy in UK/NZ.)

One thing that breaks with some of the toggles.oddbird.net demos is the issue described in github.com/tabatkins/css-tog…

Right now this is experimental; don't want to ship if it's bad for accessibility.
I don't think that means every use of toggle must have perfect accessibility (I don't think that's possible), but it should lead to the web being more accessible than it is today.

Figuring out if we can have default ARIA roles inferred from toggle usage patterns is the next thing I'm looking to implement in the toggles prototype. There's a bunch of notes in github.com/tabatkins/css-tog… though I'm not sure how comprehensible they'll be.

I think there's generally been a trend towards performing actions on mousedown because it feels faster.
A tradeoff here is whether you want the action to happen on mousedown or mouseup. (Really mousedown versus click, but click happens when mouseup happens.)
mousedown happens sooner so feels more responsive/performant to users. click doesn't fire when mouse moves (far enough).

There's also popupshowtarget and popuphidetarget.
toggleid is really too short, doesn't have any sign it's about popup.

Does that include the flying in a small plane going up (more dangerous than commercial), or just the skydiving going down?

I think my local nextdoor moderators deleted a thread a week or two ago because my suggestion that speed cameras are actually good caused the thread to be too heated. Though maybe it was for some other reason...

Only tailgated? Last week I had someone pass me in a left turn lane leading to an intersection with a stop sign for driving 30mph in a 30mph zone.

The icon for the 24th & Mission BART station being (I think) at 23rd & Mission confused me a little when trying to read the details of the map.
Just use the flag of New York City for all the languages until we get tired of looking at the flag of New York City (which shouldn't take long)?

But that pseudo name matches marker-offset, which is quite a bit older, so I'd put the "origin" of the name quite a bit earlier.

Ah, the way @NWS_BaltWash obliquely says "well, maybe the remnants of that hurricane are coming this way", and if they do, we're going to get some rain

Can they perform basic tasks like making planning regulations and rules for infrastructure contracts?
