You’re such pests. In your depths of your ignorance, what is it you want? Well, whatever it is you want, I can’t deliver because I just don’t see it.

One fascinating cultural practice of the Sarmatians is that they would gather together and stand in a line to block off closed roads.

Voting for a fascist makes a person categorically a fascist. And by accepted measures of fascism, such as Umberto Eco’s Ur-Fascism, you’d have to do some major rhetorical gymnastics to conclude anything else.

I’m yet to see a convincing, authoritative historical source on the “whale killer” factoid. Follow the trail on asesina-ballenas and Basque fishermen and you get nowhere.

The print is smudgy and the oval graphic on the print is a raster that’s already been stretched, I think. Add the image focus being a little off and the compression by the file host, and it’s a conjunction of mess.

I actually didn’t realize they’d renamed it from μBlock to uBlock. I assumed people typed the latter for convenience.
