I just now noticed this little banner between every single post - seriously?

The above images were on my desktop but wouldn't upload to Pelican Parts.
It worked after resizing them.

There is hidden tracking script contained in the image which tries to transfer directly from imjur/mediagiphy.
(I've got javascript blocked w/NoScript)
So despite the image being on my computer, the image is still controlled by a remote website.

Is this starting to be a trend with all file types on the internet?
Download and store something on your computer.
But viewing/sharing/using them will require remote permissions first?

Enjoying watching people significantly hurt is sadistic as far as I’m concerned. That’s what I’m not interested in seeing and I’m asking widebody911 to not post those here. I’m thinking we’re really not in disagreement here.
I can see why they call you thread killer. It pains me to read all your whining, so I put you on ignore.....

See how easy it is???????!!!!!!!!

Kvetch likes to kvetch and cannot abide any opinion that differs with his, it "pains" him. Closet liberal.

I don't think so. I show them as being uploaded to PP, not linked.



Lets try one on my PC downloaded from the 'Net.



I didn't see anything about this coming from anywhere else.

It took me a while to come to an opinion about the creation in the photo above.

My first reaction was


Then I thought


Now I think

Looks like a half a pipe clamp.

Possibly used in plumbing installations?
