@newplasticbags @juanbuis It looks like it’s a problem in Apple WebKit’s table rendering ignoring the explicit border styling. Renders properly in Blink based browsers. Gecko based browsers have a different problem.

[Michael Chu @cookingengineer]

@newplasticbags @juanbuis The vertical line to the right of the ? Cell should not be there. I struggled with getting the tables to display correctly in both IE and Firefox back in the 2000’s and eventually gave up. I should probably revisit.

@kazualvibes @juanbuis I named it Tabular Recipe Notation

[Michael Chu @cookingengineer]

@d_j_harman @juanbuis Thanks! This is the intended output but over the years website table rendering has changed some and my old css broke and I didn’t update

[Michael Chu @cookingengineer]

@juanbuis Due to how websites render changing slowly over the decades the tables aren’t exactly as I intend them. Some of the vertical lines shouldn’t be there. I should probably spend 30 minutes to figure it out and then an hour to script the edits for the DB and then 8 hrs proof reading

@kloe_cooke @paularambles I’ll fix it. I wasn’t prepared for traffic after this many years.

[Michael Chu @cookingengineer]

@sudbalaji @paularambles I mark the ingredients block as “steep” or “steep X min” on the right side and then underneath (indented) write discard solids. If I had to compose it for the website, I would either break it into two tables or have the discard on the right covering the same items as the “steep”

@hulu_support @zetasigma I just got a news notification that Anora won best picture. Thanks Hulu for cutting the live stream just before. Slow clap. Well done. #onejob

[Michael Chu @cookingengineer]

@hulu_support @zetasigma How do we watch the ending? The app no longer has a link to the live show?

[Michael Chu @cookingengineer]

@hulu_support so… who won the final Oscar’s because my feed cut out right after Best Director and the Hulu app no longer has a way to watch the live feed!

Only way to tell if your turkey is safe & not overcooked is with an accurate thermometer. The best is on now on sale https://t.co/dycmQp92cO

@PedernalesCoop is there an ETA on the Circle C outage? Out neighborhood has been out for 2 hr now. UPSes are all out of power.

@TWC_Help Thanks! I guess it might have been a test as I don't see a recent alert for the Austin area.

[Michael Chu @cookingengineer]

@TWC_Texas Missed an emergency alert message on my TWC TV about an hour ago. Any way to look up online what the alert was for?
