Amber Weinberg<p>I've noticed a persistent issue with using grid and aspect-ratio on mobile. Basically the aspect-ratio, even a basic 4/3, is overflowing the grid instead of resizing with it. I either have to replace grid w/ flex in mobile (and it works) or remove the aspect-ratio completely (and it works).</p><p>Has anyone else noticed this??</p><p><a href="https://front-end.social/tags/css" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>css</span></a> <a href="https://front-end.social/tags/webdev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>webdev</span></a> <a href="https://front-end.social/tags/webdevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>webdevelopment</span></a> <a href="https://front-end.social/tags/webdeveloper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>webdeveloper</span></a> <a href="https://front-end.social/tags/grid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>grid</span></a></p>

"Trump claims that rapid adoption of solar and wind power has made U.S. electricity unstable and expensive, justifying his bid to end most subsidies for renewable energy.

But reliability has improved dramatically in the U.S. grid with the most renewable energy – in Texas - and electricity prices there are below the national average"

Current power outages in the US. Looks like the grid is holding up right now in the midwest/east coast, despite the record loads.
