Multiplication is commutative.

50% of 6 == 50/100 x 6 == (50 x 6)/100 == 50 x 6/100 == 6% of 50.

It's probably a combo of a lot of things, like screenshotting, encoding issues, accidental conversion, etc, but at least for sites that advertise themselves as image repositories, I'm pretty sure it's to get you to actually visit the site. I've run into sites where the real image actually costs money to download, and ones where it's free and they're probably hoping for ad revenue from the page view.

The perils of community-sourced data

It looks like a Cloudflare interstitial. I also don't think sites get to choose which challenge types show up in reCAPTCHA, so this is on Google.

The "family size" lasagna is about 1400 Calories total. I think it's reasonable to say that's 2 adult servings, but Stouffer's says it's 5.

The site is using Cloudflare for DDoS protection, and unfortunately Cloudflare is probably the most effective tool for this. It also looks like it might be archive.org in the screenshot, and they've been dealing with a lot of DDoS attacks lately.

I don't think Google advertises "we force you to scan a QR code" as a feature of reCAPTCHA either, so it feels a little weird to me to blame the site for using a DDoS protection tool that in turn uses reCAPTCHA for human verification when Google randomly decides to add a new stupid challenge type.

We're happy?

I got a 4TB NVMe SSD for $160 a couple years ago. It's over $500 last time I checked a couple months ago.

I'm sure that's their excuse, but I think most people buying and heating a frozen lasagna are doing it because of time and effort, so it's about on par with cereal companies calling their sugar pellets "part of a balanced breakfast"

Assuming they're actually moving a lot of units.

It's actually git

Did someone say heat pumps?

I'm pretty sure it's saying you can't turn left onto the road to the left of the intersection. Looks like some pretty bad road design.

macOS updates haven't cost money since 2009

One of the many problems with these massive pickup trucks is that the headlights are so high up that the normal mode is effectively high-beams for anyone who isn't also in a massive pickup truck

Windows is getting worse and worse, but do we have to spin legitimate bugs as some nefarious plot?
