instead of centering an element using CSS try using CSS for a data center

might be more efficient — just an idea

@zachleat I'd very much like to `display: none;` those data centers, if we're speaking plainly.

idk, i heard that it's tough on the grid so the margins are really bad

maybe the efficient ones are just padding their numbers

I hear HTML is pretty efficient too, could use an attribute?

`data-center`

@zachleat Are you thinking about storing the vectors in LCM (Large Checkbox Model)? could store text in :before and :after content, return answers using css selectors? I’m reasonably sure these words are real CSS words, but less confident it’s actually meaningful - which might just be on brand for it all. But I can promise I wrote this string of thoughts myself.
