Biggest idiot of all. Why don't I know these things? I can see me messing around with a lot of css in the future. Thanks Skep. You are a genius

Oh god, I can nev keep those things straight. I think I have already been using rem, but I will check as I hypothetically redesign my website.

I uh. I think I use pixels... What is rem? Like, the sleep?

1 like

brachypelmide 7 months ago

yeah, like the sleep (em is a font's native size, relative to the parent element; rem is a font's native size, relative to the document)

skep 7 months ago

To simplify (and generalize) a bit, rems and ems are relative units; they're good when you want a measurement to be flexible based on a font size.

real talk i use vh or vw for everything i can't remember which

skep 7 months ago

I started using those recently, they are very cool but it is a little cursed to set font size as a percentage of the browser width

Moved the site options to a button menu and other minor tweaks. I think it should work fine. Give a holler if anything is broken.

That Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer with Bing Crosby and Ella Fitzgerald is a banger, though.

I can't listen to "Duel of the Fates" unless it is the music video version. Also, your lack of any songs from "Christmas in the Stars: Star Wars Christmas Album" is disturbing.

It occurs to me, I -have- seen custom HTML tags. Zendesk's knowledge base software uses them now; the WYSIWYG editor inserts them to power some of its functionality, but since they're unstyled containers they don't affect the published page.

The ultimate chip shame is reaching the crumbs at the bottom and using the bag to funnel them directly into your mouth. Also, if we’re allowing foods with origins elsewhere, I’d add Tex Mex to the list. It’s just as popular as pizza and significantly more delicious.
