Man, those picture breaks are like hammer strikes to the face and all I'm trying to do is read this guy's post.

Open your dev console (f12) and paste this:

  for (var i = document.images.length; i-->0;)
  document.images[i].parentNode.removeChild(document.images[i]);

That will strip out all the images on the page.

I use it as a bookmarklet for when I browse with CSS disabled, since images often ruin/break what I'm trying to read once I do that. :)

Hah! Great minds... :)

Seriously -- feels like every single sentence was accompanied by a clipart pasting.

High energy from lightning, solar flares and - - - other electronics like valve amplifiers can cause any number of issues for camera sensors and processors. Here's a photo from an amplifier shoot I did awhile back. A lot of the photos came out like this or were so corrupt I couldn't do anything with them, adding another dimension to glitch photography.

I've seen what seems like gamma ray problems on CRTs on older planes that have been flying a long time. Not quite dead columns but more like streaks from top down (part way and at angles).
