So to my surprise, apparently some of them do. That's weird.

Really common experience for me too. Very common Autistic experience as I understand it. Our brains will never prioritize things the way our corporate overlords want and that's part of the reason why we change jobs every couple years.

Congrats, that sounded like a real beast. I'm sure you'll be glad to have it behind you.

`typeof struggle === 'so-very-real'`, but my Autism solves this version of it for me by being averse to the texture of potatoes and therefore never buying them.

How big is the can!? I thought ours was the big one! We give ours 70g wet, 27g dry (about 1/4 cup). I prefer to weigh everything because even just a few calories can be a pretty big difference for a cat.

This is awesome. Also, 6 slices!? When my cat was on a strictly wet food diet we just gave him half of it twice daily, because I think we read somewhere that fewer is better for their weight management. But I assume you have a good reason for exactly 6 slices so I'm curious.

Cheers to all my neurodivergent kin whose brains went swiftly and directly to Werewolves of London.

I don't think I can disagree with that, but time also flies when we're having a blast, so I'm not sure. Perhaps only pain and hardship make things feel more drawn out, but those too will pass into distant memory before we know it.

A month, a season, a year. At risk of stating the obvious, all of these become smaller and smaller fractions of our lives as we age. When a year is one tenth of your life, that's significant. That's practically an eternity. When it's 1/44 of your life? Not so much.

Hell yeah. The grasshoppers in my yard are also named Steve. The universe is so intricately connected!

Thanks for the example, I'll have to play around with these! I wonder if having to e.g. import lit from CDN changes anything here? Examples I've seen all use module scripts. How would you do it in this case?

Maybe it's early but I'm not connecting these dots. Do you have a simple example via jsfiddle maybe? I'm genuinely curious.

Not sure if I follow. Even if you load them in the head you still have to do customElements.define and that delays your component's display content. Pretty sure one needs proper fallback content to avoid LS and FOUC, regardless of where the components are loaded.

By the way, did you know about import maps? These are way cool. Import from CDN, but write the import code the same as if it were a node module. Way slick. By the way, my own AI chat bot taught me how to do that part.

Components might add to the slot content, but in many cases they might just listen for events or update some of the slotted content. Here's a couple headless examples. Also, these are just a couple JavaScript files. There are no bundlers involved here. Simplicity is the way.

If you let your web components define too much of the actual content, you get things like layout shifts and FOUC. Those suck, you don't want those. In this pug template you can see how things get slotted into the web components (the tags beginning with alfred-*). All the page structure is here.

This is probably really funny to people who know a lot about wine and French geography, with bonus points for understanding what's meant by "West O" and "LQS." I want to laugh today so I guess I have some studying to do.

This forces you to rethink the problem and find ways to reduce runtime complexity, or to use safer data structures. You can really learn a lot from doing these, even if the problems don't feel like what you do at your day job.
