Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 19-9-2026 — International Talk Like a Pirate Day

19th September, 2026: Talk Like A Pirate Day.

Right: it’s Saturday!

And?

It’s Talk Like A Pirate Day!

Which means, of course, I’m going to encourage you to talk like a pirate.

Which could be fun … !

~≈🏴‍☠️≈~

I’m also going to discourage you from something.

I’m going to discourage you from downloading and installing TorBrowser.

And discourage you from downloading and installing Transmission, or something like it.

If — if — you install the pair, I’m going to discourage you from visit sites like Pirate Bay, then using the files you find there with Transmission, to illegally download movies and TV shows.

Doing so can get you in trouble*.
