@usgraphics Not sure what happened but before like a year ago I never had to think about scrollbars on the web. Since then every website I work on has had to have scrollbar colors & gutters set to not look horrendous. The whole auto hidden scrollbar thing is nasty to design around.
Caroline Munro on how lucky she was to be cast in "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad" (1973):
"I had been signed by Hammer, for one year, for a contract, out of which I did two films; one being 'Dracula A.D.' (1972), and the second one being 'Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter' (1974), which kind of would come full circle to Sinbad.
[Captain Kronos] was written and directed by Brian Clemens, who wrote the screenplay for 'The Golden Voyage of Sinbad' (1973), so I was lucky enough to have been chosen for 'Captain Kronos', and they were searching for some body to do Sinbad, and they wanted a big name, somebody American or well-known, but Brian said “No.”
He kept lobbying Charles Schneer & Ray Harryhausen, saying, “I think you should come and look at the rushes and see what you think, because I think she’s right.” So they said “No,” but eventually Brian persuaded them to do that, and they saw the rushes, and that was how I got the part. So it was lovely, like work-out-of-work. I was very lucky to have done that.”

PICARD: Data, shields up
DATA: Brilliant! Shields can reduce damage we sustain. Not immunity. Not hubris. Just prudence. It's not precaution—it's strategy.

NASA just officially unveiled their master plan for a permanent Moon Base at the lunar South Pole
This is not just about flags and footprints. NASA is moving to establish an enduring, sustained human presence, and they are heavily relying on commercial innovators to build it
The roadmap is highly aggressive:
• Phase 1: Heavy robotic missions and commercial payload deliveries
• Phase 2: Semi-permanent infrastructure, including fission surface power and lunar drones
• Phase 3: A sustained, permanent human outpost
The most important takeaway is NASA explicitly stated this base is the ultimate proving ground to prepare humanity for missions to Mars
While legacy aerospace companies are still struggling to reliably get a small capsule to the ISS, NASA is setting the stage for massive lunar infrastructure....which is exactly the kind of heavy-lift planetary deployment SpaceX’s Starship was designed for
The multi-planetary economy is officially kicking off
Badger Badger Badger, also known as “The Badger Song,” is a viral internet meme and classic Flash animation from 2003 by Jonti Picking.
The looping animation featured dancing badgers, mushrooms, and a snake, paired with a catchy repetitive song that became one of the most iconic viral videos of the early internet era.
