  document.querySelectorAll('.athing').forEach(function (row) {
    const sub = row.nextElementSibling;
    if (!sub) { return; }
    const score = sub.querySelector('.score');
    const points = score ? parseInt(score.textContent, 10) : 0;
    if (!score || points < MIN) {
      row.style.display = 'none';
      sub.style.display = 'none';
      const spacer = sub.nextElementSibling;
      if (spacer && spacer.className === 'spacer') {
        spacer.style.display = 'none';
      }
