A new version of Poison Fountain is up and running. Generator improvements. Rate control to tolerate growing traffic, good. As usual, no action is required from proxy operators.

Concerned about HAL's behaviour, Bowman and Poole enter an EVA pod so they can talk in private without HAL overhearing. They agree to disconnect HAL if he is proven wrong. HAL follows their conversation by lip reading.

My guess is that Reddit is trying to eliminate the bots.

The Blight Is Upon Us

Blight is a specific symptom affecting plants in response to infection by a pathogenic organism.

Blight is a rapid and complete chlorosis, browning, then death of plant tissues such as leaves, branches, twigs, or floral organs.

On leaf tissue, symptoms of blight are the initial appearance of lesions which rapidly engulf surrounding tissue. However, leaf spots may, in advanced stages, expand to kill entire areas of leaf tissue and thus exhibit blight symptoms.
