Yeah, if you've ever been to any beach in SoCal and looked at the richie rich houses crammed there it's immediately obvious that they are a terrible idea. Lots of them have pilings and plastic tarps draped over the hillside trying to stop erosion. Almost like building on a sand dune isn't smart.
You're going to see me punching myself in the dick even harder!
Holy shit, deep memory, I've seen this book in person. It was at the community library in a building where I lived. Everyone assumed it was some white elephant gift that got slipped onto the shelves out of embarrassment.
Yeah, something like that. Looks like it's caused by this markdown parsing library: https://github.com/markedjs/marked
They are parsing markdown and sanitizing the output on every single page load clientside, and I guess that includes wrapping CR/LF with tags.
We're surfing the interspace now.
For some reason paragraph breaks are being added after loading the text via JavaScript. Very bizarre.
Good luck, they're such divas but worth if for the orgasmic flavor.
Fresh garden tomatoes.

I'm impressed you can repeatedly catch a horsefly. Those things are insanely fast and agile.
I interacted with devs at several Zenimax studios and watching all the employees in other countries take long vacations, generous parental leave, etc. really threw into sharp relief how fucked the USA is. And Zenimax USA benefits were considered good by USA standards, but they were so obviously nothing compared to countries with worker protection enshrined in law. Surprise, despite all that time off, many of those international employees were still extremely valuable.
Across foreign and domestic employees, Id Software in particular seemed lean, talented, and just generally switched on. One of the best experiences of my career. Arkane Lyon, too. I was dumbfounded at the layoffs. It's like Microsoft excised the most creative and productive parts of the company on purpose.
I gave up hope when Marc Laidlaw posted his story treatment years ago. It might come some day, but it will be something closer to a reboot or a remake, a totally new generation's take on an old franchise. Not saying that it will automatically be bad, it could be good, but it will also be different.
The trillions they already extract are just for the regular churn, like Hegseth's lobster dinners or train loads of battle vehicles that get sent directly to a field to rot. Despite the Pentagon's repeated admonition that without a galaxy-sized budget they won't "be ready for war", when anything happens beyond the small-scale terror attacks they regularly inflict on foreign civilians then the "piGgY bANk iS brOkEn".
