Once again the yearly physical onslaught was attempted, but this time, I had a secret weapon: Doing some seriously hard training including 2 hour hikes and cycles in some local mountains and a lot of daily 12 minute steep ascents.
The result? I skied like I did 20 years ago!

My latest candidate on "ugliest functional CSS selector":
#someTable th:not(:first-child):not(:nth-child(3)),
#someTable td:not(:first-child):not(:nth-child(3)) {
display: none;
}
I would so like to meet the design committee for CSS one day. Preferably with a raw fish in my hands[^].

Ugly. Granted. But how that's exactly 'functional'?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Part of the monstrosity I'm currently working on wanted the ability to page through columns of a table - first column must always show, then one of the others. That was part of the solution - I just need to update the number in the second :not for each column. So, functional at the moment.

After looking at that CSS, no wonder Gloria was sick on Monday.

Ugly, maybe, but extremely useful:
Quantity Queries for CSS · An A List Apart Article[^]
One I almost used the other week, to apply different styles to the first item in a list if there were an odd number of items:
.product-box:first-child:nth-last-child(odd)
{
...
}

I don't see how being able to chain pseudo selectors makes CSS a bad thing. You can format it anyway you want if you're concerned about readability...
#someTable
th:not(:first-child)
:not(:nth-child(3)),
#someTable
td:not(:first-child)
:not(:nth-child(3))
{
display: none;
}
If you don't like the lack of stuff like inheritance, just about any CSS preprocessor these days will give that to you.

Hi All,
First post after a day NotInThePub, working on a trial basis for the company I had the interview with. Seems not too bad!  . Mentioned a way of doing tests using ATE they liked  . Met a customer that had an idea for a product that seemed interesting (read so bloombin' weird that only he and a friend wanted one) but do-able. Sadly discussion of money is for tomorrow (talk of covering costs at least!) but all good  , need ![Beer | [beer]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) as it has been a little while since I have had to whole early morning thing...

Sounds good! 
But I must say working for a company, for any amount of time, without talking compensation first seems a bit odd. Then again I've not looked for employment for a long time, things may be different these days.

An interesting thought, though, is that the company keeps a string of interviewees coming along, each doing their bit for free. I suppose stranger things have happened!
