    The blockchain is going to destroy everything

    Sounds like, from what I read elsewhere, the UV bulbs used were ones ordinarily used for sterilizing surfaces, and thus were far too powerful for what they were being used for.

    The New TFwiki Discussion Thread (2023)

    Hard to say - it sounds like DDG sources data from Bing, and I discovered that TFWiki wasn't showing up on Bing either. A test I did just now on both Bing and Duck Duck Go had the site appear in search results, so hopefully it's now fixed.

    The New TFwiki Discussion Thread (2023)

    It might have been the site's robots.txt, which was set to not give their crawler permission to index the site. Even though that hasn't changed in eons and their crawler was indexing it anyway. I've added permissions for them, so that might fix it.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I feel like they're going to need to hit him with something more substantial than a $10,000 fine to stop him violating gag orders. He can probably find that much down the back of his sofa.

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    I guess eventually they'll run out of Republicans to nominate and they'll have to vote for Jeffries. (Or, I guess, more likely they'll start on Republicans who aren't members of Congress)

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Making it anonymous would definitely make it worse for the Republicans. There's a non-zero possibility some of them would be so fed up with their party, that they'd vote for the Democrat nominee, and the Republican party would tear itself apart even more with suspicion and accusations.
