@aaronpk That's interesting and kind of weird. I also tend to like black coffee, hoppy beers, strong greens, etc. (and spicy foods, although I would not eat a raw habanero!) -- but cilantro has tasted like soap to me for as long as I can remember, although tempering it with something acidic like a lot of lime juice seems to cut back on the Palmolive a lot.
interesting, I might have to experiment with adding lime juice next time! Although actually maybe that explains why I haven't really noticed it before, because most of the time in the US I have cilantro on mexican tacos which often have lime juice, but this time it was a mild soup. -
I decided to set up a URL shortener on my short domain, aaronpk.com, thanks to some recent discussion in the IndieWeb chat.
I found an open source project that is basically exactly what I would have built if I had built my own: https://polrproject.org/
The installation wasn't seamless, but I'm familiar enough with the tech it's built on so I managed to get it set up. I also made one modification to it, which is that if you type in a short URL that doesn't exist, it redirects to the same path on aaronparecki.com, so that all my regular pages now automatically have a short URL.
This is definitely a lot nicer than my previous solution of adding URLs to a text file. -
Yesterday there was cilantro in my soup, and suddenly it tasted so much like soap that I couldn't eat it.
Over the last few months, I've noticed that cilantro has started tasting bad, but didn't really think much of it. I looked up the food sensitivity list of people who also think cilantro tastes like soap, and now I am super confused, because most of these are my favorite flavors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supertaster#Specific_food_sensitivities
• Gins, tequilas, and hoppy beers are my favorite
• I eat brussels sprouts, cabbage and kale all the time
• I am a huge fan of coffee, always unsweetened
• grapefruit juice is a staple in my fridge
• I make my own tonic with quinine so that I can make it less sweet and more bitter than normal
• I enjoy ridiculously spicy foods, and I eat raw habaneros for breakfast every morning
So why is cilantro the one that tastes bad to me? And why did this change? I used to enjoy cilantro! I didn't think this sensitivity was something that could change in people over time. -

@aaronpk i'm all for using grid, but <tr> is a 1D row element so there's no real difference w flexbox, is there? you could use align-items: stretch
The problem is the <td>s. As display: table-cell, they can't also be flexbox containers to have the contents stretch to the full height of the cell. I need them to be display: flexbox, which means they can't be a table, so then I can use the grid to create the <tr> and flexbox again to contain the rows in the <table> -
