So, are German men also called "Germen"? xD


I see what you did there xD


This is interesting. However, I seem to have hit a roadblock at level 6 (layer). I tried changing the z-index (thinking it might reveal something, because - layers), but in vain. Scanned through the HTML and css. Nothing, still. Hints?


You are on the right track with that initial thought :-)


Umm..

  She piss bed, pussy busy red!
  Men run cab, nun sip pill, deer led
  pig hit lip, tie tin cap!
  Dig mud ball, fin gig!


Sorry if I'm missing something, but how is this collaborative?


Ah sorry if that’s unclear. It’s not password protected, so I just log in to my coworker Emma’s list to add stuff to her todo list (and she to mine too) instead of sending her an email asking her to do something.


Hi, how can I do that technically?

Other than that I like this approach. It looks simple and intuitive. It would be interesting though to see if there's a possibility to add more details behind each todo item. If you send emails to people asking them to do something, often one line is not enough to explain that.

About a year back I had written a script that would scrape a page every 15 minutes, and notify me when the content changed. It was basically a Band Tour page, and I wanted to be the first to know when the tickets got announced so that I could grab 'em before they got sold out.

P.S. : It was an amazing concert. :)


Took me back almost a decade. I'd take a "Print Screen" of the desktop, make that the new desktop background, and hide all the desktop icons after that. It was great fun to watch them struggle, trying to click on the "icons" which are actually embedded in the background wallpaper. :)


yeah or the image with the 'My Computer' logo so it kept opening up something 'appropriate'


“If something happens very slowly over quite some time, maybe over decades, the different parts of the brain take up functions that would normally be done by the part that is pushed to the side”

The way I see it, the Human Brain increases its efficiency (Assuming the 10% Brain Efficiency Myth is true) in such cases, to be able to do all the work that otherwise an entire Brian would have done. I'm curious what would happen if we were to somehow gradually disable parts of the brain, ensuring all functions of the Human Body are still intact, and then suddenly bring all of it back.


There is a limit to the flexibility of the brain. In a compensated brain, it is very likely that an injury that would normally not have any effect on function would have devastating consequences.

To answer your question, I'd imagine that it likely depends on the timescale. People with TIAs have decrease in function that lasts minutes to hours, and on return of proper bloodflow, might take days to fully recover. You might see this as people who completely lose speech during the TIA, and then have word hunting for several days.

A brain that adapted to gradually diminished function, say as a result of microvascular changes, over the course of months to years would likely experience the same debilitation if there was a sudden permanent change.


> Assuming the 10% Brain Efficiency Myth is true

It is not. It's one of those things that qualifies as "Not Even Wrong".


I was confused on selection patterns too. But now that you mentioned that it was meant to be used by 'tapping' (started out on touch devices), selection behavior makes much more sense. Tap to select, tap again to deselect. Tap another item to add to current selection. Thanks!
