Saturday Night Club ONT - February 21, 2026 [2 D's]
Welcome to Club ONT - a collaboration of The Disco and The Dino. Do you believe in miracles? A special greeting to any Winter Olympians among us tonight. Rumor has it that a member of the very first Jamaican bobsledding team is a lurker. As is an assistant equipment manager from the 1980 "Miracle on Ice" men's hockey team. Free drinks and unlimited restroom tokens to anyone wearing an Olympic medal!
Bar is open. As is the dance floor. Come on in!

Saturday Night Jokes and Other Funnies
Girl walks into a tattoo shop and asks for Elvis on one thigh and Johnny Cash on the other…
Tattoo artist says "Alright let's get to work, but I'm gonna need you to take off your pants so they don't get ink on them." After a few hours, he finishes both tattoos. She looks in the mirror and freaks out. "These don’t look like Elvis or Johnny at all," she says, crying.
"Sure they do," says the artist. "Here I'll prove it." The artist goes outside and grabs a man standing on the corner and brings him into the shop and asks "who are the people in these tattoos?"
The man looks intently and after a couple minutes and says, "I don't know who that is on the left and I don't know who that is on the right, but the one in the middle with the beard is definitely Willie Nelson!"

PSA; the Widows cursor is not symmetrical. You're welcome.
Working with only pixels and basic geometry, the only angles are 45 degrees (one over, one down) and 26.6 (one over, two down).
When you try to build the cursor properly, you'll find that you need half of a 45 degree angle, or 22.5, but since you can't do that, I think they picked the 26.6 angle as closest.
Long story short, it's a compromise brought about by the limited number of angles you can actually construct on a pixel grid!
If you were to place the tip on the same line as the 26.6 degree stem, the stem would not be midway between the lower corners of the arrowhead, it would be closer to the right side. Thus, it seems that it was shifted left to make that area more symmetrical because that error was less obvious.
Club ONT wishes the US Men's Hockey Team all the best in their quest to capture the gold medal tomorrow morning. Having said that, there will be zero tolerance for Slashing, Cross-checking, or Boarding on the dance floor this evening. Holding The Stick and Hooking will be tolerated in the parking lot only.
