When they started erecting fixed speed cameras here, they soon had a vandalism problem.
So they put a security cam on another pole nearby.
So the smartasses just trashed that first.
The authorities had to fit two security cams watching each other....

A few places have discovered that these cameras can't withstand shotgun blasts.

A policeman sees a guy leave a pub at closing time and get into his car. After observing some erratic driving, he pulls the man over.
"Where are you going at this time of night, sir?"
"I'm on my way to attend a lecture about alcohol abuse and its effects on the human body, as well as smoking and staying out late."
The officer asks, "Who would give that kind of lecture at this time of night?"
"My wife."

Suddenly I need to care how many "em"s high text in an <h1> tag (and <hN>) needs to be.
I feel like I just stepped off the edge of the earth. Or maybe stumbled on a path wherein if I follow it at the end there's some guy named Ted who holds the keys to the kingdom - all of this arcana that nobody cares about anymore because everyone just uses webkit.
What am I doing? *headdesk*

It's always a nice day for mild to moderate insanity.
And think of it this way: if you kill all the psychiatrists, are you no longer crazy?

If you are into simple typesetting, you should look to the code of TeX from Donald Knuth...

Love Tex, but it's old. LyX would be the somewhat modern approach. Or Markup. Markup seems to be the new thing for html typsetting.

Huh, wait a minute, who's using WebKit anymore? I know Apple still use it for their Safari browser, but Chrome (and the new Edge) uses the Chromium engine and given that Chrome is the most used browser, I'd be focusing more on Chrome!
That being said, I spent a while away working on REST APIs and microservices, and some legacy web applications which were put together by 10 year old scaffolding, so coming back to modern development and discovering that everything is now measured in ems and rems, that was a culture shock. Though I think it makes more sense, let's abolish the age of having to get pixel-perfect padding to prevent your whole page from collapsing like a Word document.

Every e-reader that I'm aware of (I'm not saying all of them mind you) uses webkit.

Say I don't have room to wrap a single world like supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
In the real world, I'd just find a syllable and then hyphenate.
I don't think I can do that - and i don't think i *should* do that in html and css.
I don't know *what* to do.
What would you do?

I would but it's kind of critical to what I'm doing right now, because how far I read through the document directly corresponds to what can fit on the screen vertically, and that depends on what fits horizontally.
I mean, I guess I can kind of punt this one case if that's what you mean, but it's one of those situations where not making a decision is itself making a decision.

So you'd just split, like in the middle of the word, or at least, as far as the text goes on the screen and then wrap to the next line? I suppose that makes sense.
