Some of that cuneiform really slaps

Just watch out for Gozers

Now that's a religion I can get behind

Wait...it's behind me right now, isn't it

First, change your DNS servers to something like Quad 9 so your ISP can't track you that way. Then maybe consider switching to usenet, which is more secure in that you're downloading from a server (or servers) over an encrypted connection instead of via torrent, where you're both uploading (distributing) and downloading, and your IP address is available to anyone else downloading.

With usenet, all copyright-holders can really do is issue a takedown request to the indexer or host, neither of which is you.

Heirs of a cold war
That's what we've become
Inheriting troubles I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I'm living with something' that just isn't fair

Which usually requires an email address, in my experience, so it's really only worth doing that if you already have an account at that site.

Protip: Use a VPN and connect to an EU country. You'll see more of the single "Reject All" buttons.

There's probably a handy wildfire around to light 'em!

Fun fact 1: That is Hayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli

Fun Fact 2: KitKat in Japan is made by Nestle, so he probably would be disappointed to find out that his KitKat is made by Nestle

It LITERALLY isn't.

SARS-CoV-2 is an enveloped, single-stranded RNA virus from the coronavirus family, with a large genome. Its structure includes the spike protein that enables the virus to attach to and enter cells via the ACE2 receptor.

Rhinoviruses, on the other hand, belong to the Picornavirus family, and are non-enveloped, single-stranded RNA viruses with a significantly smaller genome. Rhinoviruses attach to cells via the ICAM-1 receptor.

Red Hat contributes a lot to the Linux kernel and has a history of open-sourcing many of their previously closed-sourced acquisitions.

Oracle bought Sun and then tried to claim that anyone who used the Java API owed them money.

Red Hat is redeemable. What Oracle is trying to do here is like Sauron saying "Hey guys, I really care about open source Middle Earth and want to make things super chill again! Oh, and hey, y'all want some free rings?"

Belief in the goodness of humanity rarely survives extended contact with humanity.

A bit older - it's from the Monty Python "4 Yorkshiremen" sketch.
