Gesso is a white paint mixture that acts as a primer to prepare rigid surfaces for painting. It is made from a combination of chalk, pigment, and a binder, traditionally rabbit skin glue. The word "gesso" comes from the Italian word for "chalk". Using gesso helps create an even, slightly textured surface for paint to adhere to, preventing paint from soaking into the canvas. It also protects the canvas fibers and provides flexibility to prevent cracking.

#Google #Chrome "feature" now broken.

I made many #GoogleChrome search engine "bookmarks" for sites I use often. As a keyboardist, I'd create engines with good shortcuts, but the URLs wouldn't use `%s` for the search string. E.g., my work uses #Canvas LMS, so I had a `cnvs` engine with URL `org.instructure.com/login/saml`. I'd type `cnvs` in the box, press enter, & away it'd go.

Now engine URLs without `%s` are invalid! I add `%s` to make them work, but now I must type a search string, too! 😛👹👺
