HTML First; CSS Grid Complete; Validate Like A W3C Boss I trust everyone had either an amenable U.S. holiday celebration or managed to avoid social media posts from those of us broadcasting our tales of food and drama. My plans for de-screening went awry, and I ended up using the break from these Drops to…

Engrossing Mobile Shield (esm.sh); “Excuse me, I gotta take this…”; The End Of (Arguing) Guides Happy 🦃-Eve to the Drop’s U.S. readers! Thanksgiving is usually a time spent with family, but we all know how quickly such engagements can go pear-shaped. $RELATION gets into a political debate that ruins dinner or your other $RELATION won’t…
