    Photo true; account false. "The photograph displayed above features an amusing juxtaposition of the usual hunter/prey relationship (the two beer-swilling moose are an especially nice touch), but that's all it is. Driving with one's vision impeded by a head covering and causing multiple traffic...

    Which is which among Cyclone, Hurricane, and Typhoon?

    I do not think tornados and cyclones are treated as the same phenom, differentiated merely by size. Off the top of my head: - cyclones are driven by the heat soaked up from oceans, tornadoes by land (though waterspouts get their energy from water) - cyclones are formed and move at least in part...

    Social media is lies. All of it. Unless you can verify it; it didn't happen like that. What's really frightening, is that a LOT of people do not know this.

    ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad

    MysteryMen (1999). (highly underrated film). Invisible Boy can only go invisible when no one is looking at him. An apparently useless skill - until the team needed someone who could get past the robot-activated laser.

    Site Usability nitpick -- Hyperlinks should be underlined

    It meets A level. Just. I have not actually found any guidelines about body text v. link text contrast for AA level. I find guidelines about body text v. link text contrast for A level (3.0:1). I find guidelines about background v. link text contrast for AA level (4.5:1). But not both...

    Site Usability nitpick -- Hyperlinks should be underlined

    Don't need to. Individual customization is already available. Users have control over their own browsers if they want to change their own settings. (A couple of members have made this point.) The point is: when a site sets their default state, do they cater to those who already have excellent...
