Redis was acting up again.
Actually it's the Redis client.
I've scolded it soundly and it is back on the job.

https://www.gocomics.com/rubes [^] has the usual style pop-up 'We want to track everything you do' warning with Agree / Select Options buttons. However, the Select Options screen is unscrollable and if there is an OK at the bottom it is unreachable. So you cannot opt out.
GRRR!

Please change the subject line - it looks rather too spammy to be on the front page!
EDIT: Subject changed to avoid repeating the link

It was originally - top of the "Discussions" list.

Didn't matter - only the first post of a thread goes on the front page.

Worked ok for me? Banner was across the top of the page with the accept button right there.

Scrolls just fine here. And if it did not scroll, I would zoom out.

Start a selection with your mouse at the top, drag down to increase your selection. It will scroll.
Just opened the site, and I can opt out. There's even an "opt out all" button. Literally. It has that caption.
--edit
Retried a few times but there's no opt out just as you said, only a fancy UI that says "no". Added them to the shared host file. None of my clients can reach that that IP. Blocking it on a system level on a lot of connected systems; no matter what browser, the result the same.
Thank you for adding a cheater.

I write left so I consider myself a lefty, but I do pretty much everything else with my right hand.
I'm never sure which hand I use for what activity and learning a new skill that requires hands is always a little awkward at first.
As a drummer my left hand was certainly the weaker one.

I have started using my left hand for the mouse, so that my right hand does not get into some pathological condition - Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or some such thing.
