So .... Turnip had just finished a tense call with Canadian PM Trudeau ...

Blowing off steam afterwards, he complained to anyone who would listen how unfairly he was being treated by Trudeau, what a liar and cheat Trudeau was, and even how ignorant he was. "I can't believe he's so dumb!" fumed Turnip. "For some reason, the guy thinks I'm from Indiana -- and he won't stop bringing it up!"

"What do you mean?" inquired a cowed staffer.

"All throughout the conversation, he kept repeating 'what a Hoosier'!"

Meaning unencrypted. Your browser is set to reject http as "unsafe" even though it is perfectly fine for meaningless stuff, and you aren't transmitting your credit card or SSN. Such things need to be encrypted.

Doing so obsoletes the "old" internet, which is a damn shame. A certificate to host via https costs money, widening that digital divide.

Anyway, I do prefer a direct image link. It saves me work, as I post a lot, and most days, I spend waste time converting images and uploading them to an image host.

That was short? Anyway, that's what's going on.

I just did that.
