I habitually throw random spelling and grammatical mistakes into my posts and comments all the time, to make it less likely that anyone can fingerprint my writing style and thereby dox me. That is the only reason for any such errors.

Personally I enjoy seeing the numbers go up. Looking at the current top ten by ratio according to my torrent client most of them are obscure things that I’m probably the only one seeding — but the number one spot, at a ratio of 565, goes to “Shrek (2001) [1080p]”.

Rice and beans curry: Pinto beans, basmati rice, diced tomatoes, chopped spinach, garlic, cumin, coriander, butter, habanero sauce

Cook the beans for however many hours. Add the rest of the stuff plus a little less water than you’d normally need for the amount of rice since there’s some in the tomatoes. Bring it to a boil, let it simmer for however long it takes your rice to cook.

Just guessing, but I suppose it could be cloudflare “verifying” the web browser by subjecting it to all manner of abuse to confirm that it is worthy. Disabling your ad-blockers and such, thus leaving yourself open to all its probes and getting its fingerprints all over your browser’s insides might be what’s expected of the user here.

foreign piracy in the United States

For a moment there I thought they were talking about actual pirate ships sailing across from Liberia to raid the east coast.

Public transportation.

Whatever doesn’t kill me makes me contemplate my meaningless place in the irrational universe.

You can have a cup of tea, I’ll put on a Beethoven record, and then you can untangle and sort all the stuff in my big box full of old cables, chargers, components, and adapters. If you find a micro usb cable you can have a cookie.

But not many are as bad as reddit.

I believe the conventional way to phrase it is “show me the face you had before you were born.”

I am paranoid to think of such things occasionally, which is why I can tell you that my password is long enough that it includes more than half the alphabet.

The foxwq client isn’t free software. It is a great injustice.

It isn’t so great, and it is everywhere.

Follow-up question: Can someone explain it in a goofy pirate accent?

Windscribe, although unless you pay an extra $2/month they time out and need to be reconfigured after one week.

they’re just manipulating the DOM

Imagine trying to explain that in court. Yes, your honour, it’s a sort of object-based model representing the document. No, it’s not really a model of an object exactly. Yes, it’s made of bits and bytes, the same kind as you would use in a computer program, but it has that in common with… no, it does not actually object to anything…

Probably some kind of translation error. They must mean “privacy”.
