Your spinners page is vibrating extremely angrily: https://ascii.rest/spinners, also some other components like the progress bar - whenever width changes.

There's a really weird black passport on the bottom of the main page in the 'coming soon' section.

1. Only our diplomatic passports are black

Re:Fifteen years later, the Apple Cards origin story on Tuesday September 29, 2026 @08:13PM (#49902668)
I honestly couldn't find any documentation of it anywhere. But it's clearly in the picture.

Can't believe they got USPS to do a custom stamp in 2011.

I use AST replacers, much more reliable.
I guess we also need more antipopes.
Re:No Man's Sky Cosmos on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @06:40PM (#49635614)
