Wow, even my VPN doesn't work for Imgur anymore. So I can't view this.

Thanks to our government's draconian Online Safety Act. :roll:

Actually it's still pretty blurry even fully zoomed in

Also FWIW this isn't because the UK super-blocked Imgur, it's actually because Imgur themselves are geoblocking the UK. MediaLab/Imgur had a fine levied at them back on 10th September, and thought simply leaving the UK would make the fine go away (the ICO have stated this is not the case and their investigation remains ongoing). There is quite literally no reason for Imgur to be blocked in rainy old England.
And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future

Swanson's law is the observation that the price of solar photovoltaic modules tends to drop 20% for every doubling of cumulative shipped volume.
