Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. That kinda' clever. I was thinking you could change the name of the css each time you want it to refresh, but figured that would be too much of a PITA.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ooh thanks.

Very clever! One of the commenters had a good idea to further this: make the version # a php variable containing the date stamp of the css file. Then you never have to update the css link.

That won't work for the board, but I might be able to force a reload right after the file is updated and saved, and hopefully that takes.

Well, I don't want to do a file date/time read every time a page loads. Overhead.
So, I overstated. Can work. Don't think it's our best solution.
I'm pissed that what should work, the http headers, does not.
Right now I think asking the user to refresh one page is clunky but overall better.

Sudo Make Me a Sandwich: the robot edition
Inspired by one of the funniest goddamned XKCD strips of all time, Bre Pettis and Adam Cecchetti have built a "Sudo make me a sandwich robot" that makes a sandwich when you tell it to.
I like what happens when they don't include the "sudo".
