- Pro tip: Use 100dvh rather than 100vh. dvh is dynamic so it reacts to changes in the available device height. Useful as on mobile browsers the height of the window often changes when you use certain browser features

- I'm sorry I can't take this article seriously. It's complaining about ads but the ghacks website itself is covered in adverts.
- I MOT it (obviously) and service every year but if I know something needs doing that's going to be expensive I just live with it. Especially if it's electrical because that can be a mine field and cost lots of labour time. Sometimes I try and make repairs myself and learn something in the process
- Spending $25k on a car (if they exist) is just an insane thing to do in my opinion. In the UK we are quite lucky in that the used car market is very good. I always just buy a ~£1,000 diesel and run it into the ground, then rinse and repeat.
I think in 17 years of motoring I've spent around £5,500 in total on cars.

- I'm currently working on https://brickranker.com/
It's basically a website for tracking the value of LEGO sets and minifigures. For example see https://brickranker.com/rankings/minifigures/star-wars for a list of the most valuable LEGO Star Wars minifigures.
You can also catalogue your own collection and track it's value at https://brickranker.com/collections
- Does anyone remember the Simpsons in CSS thing, that was cool
- Just seemed to classify everything as either mob, swab, hairspray or barbell
- That is correct, relative to the town / city you are viewing

- I changed it so they are ordered randomly now. Let see if that makes a difference. Having them in alphabetical does make it easier to find what you want but there is a search.
For some questions I'm going to have to display the answers in some kind of fixed order, for example chronological order for films
- That would be good but I wanted to make an app where you just do a simple, fun task every day. With an ELO rating system you can just keep going and going whereas with this it only takes a minute or so
- Sorry I did exclude those fruits which people typically mistake as vegetables like tomatoes. Otherwise the list would have been too long.
- I don't think it destroy diversity, people can still choose what they want. It's just a fun way to see how your choices would compare to the masses.
Also for what it's worth my top 3 were Mango, Gooseberry and Tayberry
- The problem I have with this, is if I reduce the choices to the more popular ones I always get people complaining like "How come dragon fruit isn't on there?!"
But I agree that for questions like this where there are a lot of potential answers, then it can be overwhelming.
It makes around $500 a month from a mixture of adsense and affiliate schemes. Would be good if I was making more but I've automated most it so I spend maybe 1 hour on it a month.
