We used to have bugs full of these spelling fix suggestions for the times you needed a no-op commit in order to retrigger builds.
Now we just have build infrastructure with self-service retriggers...

In case you weren't paying attention to tropical cyclones right now: the strongest tropical cyclone *right now* isn't Florence; it has 170mph winds and is going to hit the northern Philippines (probably Cagayan Valley region) in less than 24 hours. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_P…

Tomorrow starts the Global Climate Action Summit in SF. As we dive in to come up with great climate strategies, let’s remember that if you’re not tackling housing & land use patterns, you’re not comprehensively tackling #ClimateChange. #GCAS2018 My piece: medium.com/@Scott_Wiener/a-c…

It makes a table-column-group box. See, say, drafts.csswg.org/css2/tables… .
(But what's a box if you can't see it?)
On the other hand, its backgrounds do show up somewhat indirectly through drafts.csswg.org/css2/tables… , and its borders show up indirectly when border-collapse: collapse.

Helene appears to be only the fifth Tropical Storm to form in the Atlantic east of 19°W.
(This is based on the discussion from Fred in 2015 at nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2015/al… and a quick skim of the Hurricane season maps from 2015-2018.)

Newsflash, Brett Kavanaugh: Contraception is NOT abortion. Anyone who says so is peddling extremist ideology – not science – and has no business sitting on the Supreme Court. #WhatsAtStake #StopKavanaugh huffingtonpost.com/entry/bre…
