Yeah.  Pretty much exactly what we all figured would happen.

If you want to know how it ends up, go read the article.

Software engineer Jordan Scales wrote a CSS-only file that makes plain HTML look like Windows 98

I was tempted to apply the CSS to All The Tropes's page for Windows 98, but ATT doesn't have a page for (just) Windows 98. So you're saved from that, at least.

RCMP officer among 17 confirmed dead in Nova Scotia killing spree

The shooter is also one of the 17 dead.

Quote:Const. Heidi Stevenson, a 23-year member of the force and mother of two, was identified as the officer killed. A male officer suffered non-life threatening injuries. Lisa McCully, a teacher at Debert Elementary, was also killed in the attack, according to a news release from the Nova Scotia Teachers Union.

If you're feeling a little claustrophobic cooped up in quarantine, count your blessings I guess, because I just woke up, looked around my eight by eight by seven foot tall bedroom, and had a panic attack because "this p[lace is too big," until I could box myself in with some stuff on either side of an armchair, on a sturdy little table in front, and my wide-brimmed hat acting as a personal ceiling to cut off everything above my eyebrows. I hope this is not going to be a thing going forward, because while not wanting to leave the house has been manageable to the point I didn't even realize how much I hated it, stomach-turning terror at not having solid walls close enough for my elbows to touch is liable to cause many more problems. Not least because in a high-risk household I'm still the least-unhealthy choice to go for the grocery runs, and the thought of doing that "again this week" is raising my heart rate as I type it, and not because of anything to do with the corona virus.

Fuck.

And I should keep a journal or something instead of dropping this kind of thing on you mob. Doublefuck. Doing it anyway because fuck all the ducks.
