Finished season 2 of One Punch Man. If Saitama paid attention to his surroundings, each episode in this show would be much shorter.

Now I'm ass-deep in Outlander... Period drama + romance + vague existence of magic + Scotland = so good.

There is nothing worse to me than inconsistent indentation and missing spaces between properties and values.

I got a freelance email coding job this past week (I love coding HTML emails), and before I could do the actual work, I had to stop to correct their template's indents and add spaces to the HTML attributes and CSS prop/values. It was driving me crazy.

They were also missing a few closing tags... like wtf

As a high-level healer I recommend getting a mouseover addon for healing. It's a lot easier than target-healing. I use Healbot and only put my dps skills and cooldowns on my bar.

as another high-level healer, i say BOO to that! i hate heal bot :P all keybindings, baybee. to each their own, though.

I have returned to retract my previous sin about javascript: It has morphed from a coding hurdle to an impenetrable wall i'm forced to climb. I.. god help me, for I'm about to self teach myself this crap.
programming is actually a lot of fun. ngl it is a fair amount of work to get a point where you can make big things happen, but it's so satisfying when you do. html/css are still my favorite languages, but javascript is cool af. you won't regret learning it.

here are some resources i'd recommend:

developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript - ongoing reference and learning, a good place to start
javascript.info/ - fantastic tutorials, open source and continuously edited by experts
www.codecademy.com/ - has a great text-based javascript course, you can write your code directly in their provided editor and it gives you feedback about what you're doing wrong
es6.io/ - wes bos has an amazing video-based tutorial series on javascript. also check out "javascript 30" for 30 days of projects.
teamtreehouse.com/home - subscription, video-based courses with quizzes and challenges, also great

my in-laws came over to bring an easter treat, but i wasn't wearing a bra so i hid in the pantry.

then i had to wait ~5 mins in the pantry while they talked with my husband until he was able to conspicuously lead them away.

then i snuck into the basement lol

since part of me is morbidly curious about supernatural (but not enough to watch the entire thing)... if i were to actually give in and watch the show, what's the general "cutoff point" for "this is the season where the show really should have ended, it's all pretty much downhill from here (or at least thoroughly beaten to death and largely repetitive and/or nonsensical in its stake-raising)", as it were?
look i'ma be real with you

i have enjoyed literally every season of supernatural. not joking. i'm not even, like, a hardcore fan; i watch it casually when i'm bored.

it's a good show. the weakest season is probably season 7, but it's not bad.

it's been there for almost as long as i've been on jcink (aka at least 4 years) so. yeah. no extra work required, it's already a feature, even if it's not a great feature.
oh, i mean that making a theme responsive is extra work. i knew about the jcink switch link :D sorry, that wasn't clear.
