i personally wouldn't described teenagers killing each other with luminous green hunting knives as a 'weird panic' but perhaps something that needs a lot of attention and a multitude of steps to solve. banning these insane weapons is, would you believe it, one quick step that might help.

perhaps people printing their own guns at home is actually quite bad and in fact should be controlled in some way without it being seen as a fundamental incursion on your rights.

just a thought from across the pond.

i feel like a good business idea would be showing new product names / logos to a group of 50 people from various demographics and ages to see if the name clashes with something else.

Re:Gatsby raises $28M Series B led by Index Ventures on Wednesday May 27, 2020 @05:15PM (#23330082)
used gatsby for my portfolio website and recently wanted to add a p5 sketch into it and went round the houses for about 2 hours as i did an update which broke everything.

ended up sacking it off, creating a static html/css/vanilla site text right in tag and boom done in about 20 mins.

ridiculously over-engineered. use react if you want the madness, plain if you want to just do something normal
