- Snoqualmie Falls is among the largest and most significant waterfalls in the United States. Situated along the Snoqualmie River in the town of Snoqualmie, the falls plunge a into a huge amphitheater carved in ancient volcanic bedrock. Officially Snoqualmie Falls has a height of 268 feet, however lidar data suggests this measurement to be that of the hydroelectric system, rather than the falls itself, and that the waterfall itself is about 10-12 feet shorter. The natural volume of the Snoqualmie River, coupled with the great height of the falls makes it one of the most powerful waterfalls in North America. However, that power was too tempting a prospect for intrepid engineers, and in July of 1899 the Snoqualmie Falls Hydroelectric plant went online - the first hydroelectric facility in the world to be built entirely underground. In 1910 a second powerhouse (this one above ground) was constructed downstream of the falls, which was greatly expanded again in the late 1950s.

Hello, and welcome to CSS Hell, where you will be subjected to 15 unimaginably torturous CSS puzzles. “What did I do to deserve this?”, you ask. But you know perfectly well: you blashpemized Cascading Style Sheets. I saw that time your friends were complaining about CSS and you piled on with “CSS isn’t even a real programming language”. It is. I saw you upvote that Reddit meme about vertically aligning a div. Just use a flexbox. I saw you chuckle sensibly at those CSS Is Awesome designs. I couldn’t stand to let Håkon Wium Lie’s divine creation be slandered in this way, so I decided to show the nonbelievers like you the wrath of CSS’s unhinged power.
