      I went looking in one of my academic institution's search engines but it didn't turn up the original source. Someone with more time is gonna have to do it unfortunately but it's never a waste of time to collect receipts

        try to create a post here - paste img to the url field - then copy the img url that is generated - you don't have to make a post for the img to be hosted
