gollark: I have some JS which *almost* works, except it's *somehow* off by a few percent and it cuts off the bottom of the text.

gollark: Why is it that CSS makes it really easy to do complex layouts and such but there is literally no simple, working, consistent way - even with JS involved - to make a text area automatically fit its contents?!

gollark: Villains should really read the evil overlord list: http://eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.html
