Future CSS Tip! 🔮 (This one's close 🤏)
You can use "subgrid" to give child elements access to a parent's grid tracks 👀
This is great when you want to make sure content lines up 🙌 Check those cards 👇
article {
grid-row: span 4;
display: grid;
grid-template-rows: subgrid; 👈
}
In this example, article uses grid but makes use of the tracks defined by the parent layout container. That makes it easier to line up content within the cards 🙏
Cool thing is, we don't even need to define the rows in the parent. We use the implicit ones from the parent.
main {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(300px, 1fr))
}
This might be easier to understand with the video below that shows the grid tracks using DevTools and toggles subgrid on and off 🤙

Sitting on 26m doses of the Astra Zeneca vaccine when it's not even approved for use in the US is, at this point, like the UK starving Indians intentionally during their rule: yourstory.com/2014/08/bengal….
US has plenty of vaccines for itself from the other products. Why hoard AZ?

Tamil numerals which are somewhat obsolete, nowadays were used in the placards religiously.
This placard footer says ௲௭௱௪௰௨ which means 1742.
Interesting to see that, the number 5 in Sinhala archaic numbers 𑇥 is used as a decorative element to separate the paragraphs in this.

Speaking of Tamil letters without pulli (virama) - here is a glimpse from 1742 placard printed by Dutch Press in Ceylon.
There are some more significant peculiarities we can observe throughout the placard in Tamil script.
Compound letters of எ and ஏ are same. ர & ா are same.

This is another example of how pulli (virama) omitted in the early metal type of Tamil script. Even though, you can read the content and understand it well.
Earlier on, I have noticed the similar usage without pulli in placards from 1742 by Dutch Press in Ceylon.
