Many have tried, but my strong magic and alliance with Good repels all that
easily.
Besides, if you strike me down, I will come back more powerful than you can
ever imagine.

Just did that.

Er, something *is* different.
I present to you the horror that was the downloaded image:

Egads! My pixels are getting mangled in the ether!

It only seems to happen to larger images.
The site is hosted by Hugh Blair of evolt.org
I'll have a word with him.
I'm using the same client for uploading and downloading from both sites, so
I'm guessing this is a server-related issue. Both servers run Linux.
<tip type="cooking tofu">
I'm not a fan of the bland custard-like taste and texture of regular tofu.
Want it to taste more like meat? Put a block overnight in the freezer. Then
let it thaw for a few hours in the regular compartment. Cut this up. The
resulting tofu has a more chewy texture that absorbs flavours better.
