If you’re going to use giant pictures in your posts (and I don’t necessarily object to them here—they seem appropriate in a post like this), could you please save them in a format that doesn’t make their file size literally four times as large as it needs to be (for no benefit whatsoever)? Please? :)
Everyone reading Less Wrong on not-quite-fiber-speed internet connections will thank you!

I’ll see what I can do! (I’ve been completely ignoring that up to now, so yeah, probably can do better.)
Cool, thanks. A couple of tips:
Easiest way is to just re-save as GIFs
If you’ve got a Mac, GraphicConverter (a shareware app) can easily automate this process
You can also make a little Automator droplet that you can just drag-and-drop your files onto, en masse, and have them auto-converted
(There are even fancier approaches but that should do for now. Let me know if you need any help with this!)
