Mozilla Developer Network, "Realizing common layouts using grids": https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Guides/Grid_layout/Common_grid_layouts

Reading guides like that while lamenting the shortcomings of vintage Web browsing, even via RetroZilla in a Windows 98SE VM, does strange things to a girl, y'know?

Related: CSS grids are 3 years older than Chromium-based Microsoft Edge and only 2 years younger than EdgeHTML (Trident)-based Microsoft Edge Legacy.

I'm reading that the CSS "display: contents;" on TR and (implicit) TBODY elements wrecks accessibility of tables as tabular data, rendering their TH and TD cells as ordinary content with no tabular relationship instead, but since these are tables "misapplied" for layout only and never meant to be tabular data themselves (one of the only ways to control page layout in pre-CSS and CSS1 days), that seems like a perk in this specific case.

Applying the CSS "@supports (display: grid) { .wrapper > tbody, .wrapper > tbody > tr { display: contents; } }" with wild abandon in GeoCities HTML table-based layout templates optimized for Internet Explorer 3 and/or Netscape Navigator 3 to make them pleasant on sub-VGA pocket screens while still remaining optimized for those early browsers and every desktop browser since: from IE3 to Edge 125, and from NN3 to Firefox 128.

TIL there used to be a corporation called the International Steam Pump Company, but the first few times I heard the name I kept hearing "the International Steampunk Company" instead.

While it operated during the USA's Progressive Era, it was only in the half coincident with the Edwardian Era, not the Victorian Era.

While grocery shopping & passing through the frozen pizza section, I realized something:

A party pizza feeds a regular person, while a regular pizza feeds a party of people.

@mavica_again That's some admirable optimism, aye.

2: "Yep, just like fruit flies like a banana."

1: "What?"

2: "What do you mean 'what'? Time flies like an arrow, and fruit flies like a banana."

1: ...

2: "That's why you never leave arrows out: they attract time flies."

2: "Time flies are bad and super hard to get rid of. You have to swat them *before* they show up or set up fly-catchers *after* they're caught."

Related, that's not kettle corn, not at all. Kettle corn is popped in an entirely different kind of vessel:
