Conan the Destroyer (painting)

The Destroyer is a 1971 painting by American artist Frank Frazetta. Notwithstanding the prolific use of the word "Conan" that's been attached to Frazetta's work for many years, none of his paintings bear the "Conan" name.[2] The painting depicts Conan the Barbarian in the act of swinging an axe with dead warriors around him.

gollark: The timing attacks thing: since you can send GET requests to domains you probably shouldn't be able to, and time how long they take, you can infer some data you shouldn't be able to from other domains.

gollark: Because you can access cross-domain scripts and images without explicit optin by the site they're from, guess what? TIMING ATTACKS, *and* you can check whether there's an image or not at some arbitrary URL because while CORS weirdness won't let your code read the *content* of an image you include with `<img>` unless the site it's from opts in, you can check the width/height and whether it loaded or not.
gollark: But there is more!
