behold the "HTML bomb"

It's a counterattack for AI companies that persistently scrape and rescrape your web site, even when you tell them not to

when a scraper grabs it, it becomes a 10-gig HTML page and 💣 goes the scraper

Ahh I just bought a new pc with the same case, but black. But my desk looks like yours, maybe I should have gone for white!

The statue needs to be 100ft tall. At least.

It wasn't until just exactly now I figured out that with "Moonage Daydream" Bowie wasn't doing some weird riff off of 'teenage' or the like, it's a world era! Stone Age, Bronze Age etc. It was 1972! They were going to the moon. He was living in the Moon Age!

I once heard an aussie proverb which went "we call our cunts mates and our mates cunts"

my only feedback is that since the madders injury you should probably strike out "backup".

It'll be interesting to see if people keep using it as much after they enshittify it if they start needing actual revenue. I guess once people get accustomed to using it they might pay(less likely) or live with some kinds of ads.

10 years with a man from the other side of the world who it truly felt like he became one of us. A real connection. I don't know when this will happen to this club again. Thank you so much, Heung-Min 🤍👑

But his smile lights up stadiums, and our faces every time we see it. Showing true emotion at all times, he was our connection on that pitch. He cared as much as we did, maybe even more. >

His football was electric, incredible goals and dribbles, especially in the very biggest games. I would have loved to see him play Dortmund or City in the CL just one more time. >

He paid back that kindness and loyalty a hundred times over. A kindness given, a love returned. Especially when things truly looked bleak, he stuck with us. Even more than stuck with us, he renewed! >

In 2018 the club decided to allow Son to miss the start of the season in order to have a chance to win an Asian Games gold medal, which would give him an exception to 2 years of military service. He succeeded and I feel like it was one of the best decisions the club ever took. >

I love Sonny. A reason we love him so is that he displays exactly that emotion, Love. Increasingly rare in the transactional mercenary nature of modern football. Both towards the game itself, and fans, but more valued by us than those: to the Club. >

Can't remember what mediocre movie it was, ages ago, but there was old man at the front who seemed to be a bit slow as he laughed at jokes like 3-4s after. Especially bad ones. He had the weirdest loudest seagull-like laugh and it made the whole theater laugh over & over. We were crying at the end.

Incredibly dumb. But it does occasionally mean we get funny things like this.

The first 100% effective HIV prevention drug is approved and going global An epidemic that's been sustained for 44 years might finally be quelled, with the milestone approval of the first HIV drug that offers 100% protection with its twice-yearly injections. It's a landmark...

Anyways, AIDS is going to be gone soon, this is a generic with FDA full approval.

"we're suing you because you somehow illegally obtained the exact details of the release clause!"

one week later:
"ha! you didn't exactly match the release clause!"

I myself would do 1 in real life, but 2 looks cooler and is nicer for a FPS I think.

I like it in pen and paper rpgs when after losing all sanity you roll to see what kind of crazy you become, and you then have to start role playing that.

What recent manager of ours do you feel like would be the most competent in a normal office setting? Feels like it's Frank? Can you imagine Conte in a normal job?

... And then use his death as a life lesson for spurs fan Tom Holland?

I saw Akira in the cinema yesterday. God I'm so happy I did. What a feast for the eyes, ears and mind! Very much recommended if you get the opportunity!

He left for Leeds, I think?

Willem Dafoe is 70.
Here’s that time he wanted to talk about film festivals with Robert Pattinson but Rob had other things on his mind…
