the new ootb looks good. solid suggestion.

I liked them the old way. I hate change! Get off my lawn!!

definitely more readable, just a tad jarring cuz i'm used to my eyes scanning straight to the middle of the screen for 20 years of coming here. i'll get used to it. i like iterative improvements, even if (especially if) they're a bit disruptive. it's how we become better people.

Blue still rockin’ the html like it was 1998

Diocese Suspends Abuse Victims' Compensation Program, Citing 'Economic Turmoil'
Now if they'd only suspend the abuse.

+1 for old format. New format is just wrong somehow, maybe I'm just used to the old one?

Old gas blob from Uranus found in vintage Voyager 2 data.

That story stinks.

The bailout socialist corporate welfare package of 2 trillions for the rich? It's actually 6 trillions. 2 direct, 4 indirect.

Here it is from Larry Kudlow's mouth On CBS News

Yeah, not good. Despite Larry's assurances of transparency and oversight, it will be a four trillion dollar slush fund with little to no restrictions and at the whim of Trump lapdog Steven Mnuchin. It will be ugly, and US citizens get to pay for it.

Maybe (and that's a big maybe) different governance next year could help.

Blue,

The bullets alone really do help separate one link from another. Especially on mobile where one can not "mouse over" a hyperlink to figure out how many lines it folded onto and where the next new hyperlink actually starts.
I think that is "Rob"s best reasoning for adding bullets.

You probably don't need so much padding around the headers that separate each bullet list. I think that padding looks more dramatic on desktop than mobile since on mobile you have the bullet heading name and the bullets aligned more closely together.

Maybe if you can detect desktop/browser and use appropriate CSS for each?

Switching between table and bullets layout would take more than CSS, and inserting two HTML variants in OotB's (with media switches) would be cumbersome.

Maybe remove the space between each header and it's first bullet?

That would be fairly easy.

I prefer the compactness of the old format.

Hey, economy restarts, AND Social Security becomes solvent. Win-win.

Problem, liebruls?

On the news today in Canada:
US wants to militarize US/Canada border.

Wait, What? dRumpf Wants Troops at the Canadian Border
If Canada was smart they'd put up a wall. Lord knows it would have prevented all the troubles that Mexico has.

Poor Mexico, so far from God and so close to the United States!
Porfirio Díaz
President of Mexico

So if Canada builds the wall, does the US pay for it?

The bullets don't work as well here as they do for the regular sections (Safety Dance, Tech Bits, etc.) because each one of those is a single section. Here in OotB, there are multiple sections. The result is too much vertical spacing that means I have to scroll up and down while commenting on Blue's comments or a particular story that appears at the top. I preferred the old way. Everything fit on the screen without scrolling.

Old format is better. That just takes up way too much real estate.

In other news:

Combine that with the militarization of the northern border with Canada to prevent US citizens from escaping.

Are you starting to see the pattern/picture?

They're preparing you for the slaughter and they don't give a shit about a few dozen millions dying, mortality rate could go as high as 10% ( Italy are fighting it and are at 8% and no it's no just the age, the average age difference isn't really that great, just a few years ) if they let it get completely out of hand so that it passes as fast a possible to save the economy, 10% of 330 millions? 33 millions...

If I were a US citizen, I'd be afraid, VERY AFRAID.

Worst part? If we let too many people get infected, the epidemiologists predict the mutation rate will accelerate, if the virus mutates enough, not only will the vaccines won't work on the new mutation, but having recovered won't necessarily mean you'll be immunised VS the new mutation and it could happen ALL OVER AGAIN.

The rich are panicking and have gone batshit ( pun intended ) crazy.
