So you do no remember you and Peter accusing me of lying and cheating? That
has completely slipped you mind? Really?

I could use wget if I wanted to... heck, I even have a GUI wrapper for it.
The claim I cannot do so is just silly... another lie from you.

I also showed you and even highlighted all the timing for one of my
solutions. The video I point to time and time again shows it:

* Download as PDFs all the recipes from the homepage of allrecipes.com (Owl
is the one who suggested this). I did several versions... here is one:
<https://youtu.be/_J4PppWroWY>. Mine not only worked, but the PDF had
selectable text and allowed me to do quick searches on ingredients and the
like... something Owl was never able to do on Linux. Worked so well that he
and Peter Köhlmann insisted it must have been faked.

Jump to the 1:00 mark and you can see all the details. Then I show the PDFs
and how the text can be selected and all how I can do with it as I do with
any text - look things up, etc. Worked great!

Now you were doing yours with the command line and may have eventually found
a faster solution... if I recall correctly that is what we decided. But
yours created PDFs that were bigger and you could not do any of the lookups
or the like I could do.

But the bigger point here is you just assumed I would go against my own
self-interest and fake it and Peter jumped in to agree. In that case I was
able to do you the favor of proving you wrong. With your current accusation
there is no way to prove you wrong, but your evidence is no stronger and
makes no more sense.

And now you say you do not even recall making your false accusations!
Insane.

My advice: Stick to tech. Come up with other tasks. Stop making false
accusations you cannot back.
