# So you decided to say 'Fuck it, I'm going to post it when it's too large anyway'?
Fair enough.

# too large for what?
Get broadband and live a little. It's not 1998 anymore.

Besides, I optimised it lots and couldn't see how to get it down any lower.

# well Mrs S cooked up a load
but she wasn't feeling well on Sunday and daughter went out Halloweening, so I ate alone, then yesterday I had another for my dinner and she still wasn't feeling well, and I've just had a third for my lunch. There's more left too. Glad I'm not at home tomorrow

# I could skip the chicken and eat a plateful of all of those, to be honest :)
/also an interesting tip - to get really moist poultry meat when cooking, add lager to the roasting tray, and occasionally baste it over during it's time in the oven.

works a treat on chicken, pheasant etc. The meat stays moist and doesn't dry out

(I helped save b3ta! Barbarossa is not my real name, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 13:00, archived)
# i suppose it depends on what's going on in your gif
this one here is pretty straight forward jokes wise, but i find for some, the low dither/colour option takes out too much detail a lot of the time.
in that case i'll resort to optimizing it near the limit, but usually aim lower for the sake of others.

# Yeah no point in destroying a decent animation for the sake of a few bytes or so
I think in general the 400k limit is often pushed closer to 450k in practice, but in the above animation there was no real need for 699k.

# Absolutely, and you know me I always aim to bring my animations under the limit
as for jokes being better than quality of image - we have the likes of Mutated Monty who always worked within the previous 200k limit and made gif magic for us all to drool over.

there are plenty of people still on dialup or mobile/limited broadband who post here.
