Providing 2-3 lines of explanatory context is hardly a research paper, but enough to illustrate reason behind a simple statement.

AFAIK, the author of this comic is somewhat of an asshat that exercises varying degree of censorship on a comic strip subreddit, based on their personal beliefs.

All I think is "oh, that person is either a tattoo artist (and friends with a bunch of them too), or good friends with one". But thats just based off of my own experience, the people I know that are heavily inked are all tattoo artists or married to one.

You made advertisement... Bad OP, bad!

Technically that would be a boat and not a ship

A goose in leather jacket and sunglasses?? I'm getting some serious whoosh-feeling here

I usually just borrow e-books from the library, download as epub and strip the DRM from the file so I can read it, and return the eBook to the library right away for the next person to borrow it.

I haven't encountered a captive portal at all. I can use the internet just fine without VPN.

There's a web interface included that works OTB.

I'm not sure if qbit has a setting for it, but what I've done is that I have multiple instances/docker containers of qbit. One is specifically for ratio requiring torrents where I don't have a bandwidth limit on upload and have a higher limit of active seeding torrents that the other instance.

I have plenty excess shivs already, I'm trying not to and up a hoarder.

Mayhaps OP should call that 4chan fellow for help

I only use pretty basic modelling, and have no interest in advanced CAD featueres, I've tried both the link branch and ondsel, and I honesty think they're about the same level as regular freecad. None of them are even near as intuitive to use as for example onshape, they're actually a bit of a chore to use IME.
