CSS: Using Invalid and Valid Pseudo-Class

The title is ambiguous actually, why do we want to use an invalid pseudo-class? 🤔 And is it not valid pseudo-class in CSS plenty? Why? Because. Hi.

Chess: Drunk Bard Zukertort Opening: Tennison Gambit

I played offence (white piece) — in 3 minutes Super Blitz game as Anonymous on Lichess employing drunken Tennison Gambit . The tipsy placements after the Tennison Gambit bit were indeed wild. Expectedly, I did plenty of blunders as the offence side. But! Checkmated my opponent at 33rd banter. 💥 🤣 Hats off to the defence side — for being generous obviously — as I wore no hat to begin with. The defence side was quite baffled I assume, by the way the online indicator stayed green for more than 3 seconds after the checkmate. I did not laugh, composed(ly holding it together) — I did smile a bit after the online indicator turned gray. The speculative opening combined with the speculative tipsiness were indeed both confusing. Hence... Be my guest.

Thus, it is...

Suck

Suck The original meaning is "to draw in air or liquid through the mouth". The word suck stems from Old English (Anglo-Saxon) sūcan . It was Germanic to its very bones — more in common with Old High German and Old Norse. Anglo-Saxon sentence examples: Sē cyning wæs swīðe gōd . It means the king is very good . Sē cild sūcþ meolc of þǣre mōdor brēoste . It means the child sucks milk from the mother's breast . Indeed with the accent for the vowels, confused Greek letter, and the mashed together alphabet 🤷 Romans talked like that (alphabet discipline), non-Romans talked with diverged flavours and lisps. Thus, the party. 🎊🎉🪅👯💃🐐🐔🐄🥳 The extravagant (confusing-cough) writing was developed later on — Latin literacy first brought via the Christian Church. Then, the party. Most notably, St Augustine of Canterbury , arrived from Rome. "St" is Santo (masculine) or Saint in English. It does not mean that person suddenly h...
