- Scrolldown animations are very popular now. Just slight shifting of the text and increasing opacity is enough to give the user a nice scroll feel. Also gives a bit better load time and responsiveness, since the lower panes don't have to load when the initial page does.
- Decent overview: https://www.bluecompass.com/blog/how-to-liven-up-your-website-with-scroll-animation.
- The difference between iterator and iterable. They're very similar, they just slightly differ in how Python deals with them under the hood. Both can be looped over. Iterators just have an explicit __next__() method so they inherently know how they're supposed to be iterated over. Iterables don't have this behavior. Python calls iter() on them to determine how to sequence the iteration. TLDR: An iterator has the "how to iterate over my data" baked into it. An iterable does not.

- vars() is useful. Called without arguments, it's like locals. Called on a variable (like vars(myvar)), it will return the __dict__ elements.

- Meditated for a bit today for the first time in a long time, love it. Great for destressing.
- Did a little research into carnivory and other dietary choices. Some are extreme, like the sole "beef-salt-water" lifestyle. There are worshippers of this end of the spectrum, just like there are on the vegan side. Both with firsthand accounts and both with scientific research. Cholesterol too. Diff btw dietary cholesterol and blood cholesterol.
