Sorry, legacy code and technical debt. Please check in with us in ~2000 years or so, we might have the next minor bugfix version up by then.

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of an episode of The Orville, Mad Idolatry.

When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords? in c/[email protected]

Russia ‘fires intercontinental ballistic missile’ at Ukraine for first time in c/[email protected]

Honest question: are eggs going to be affected? Corn feed for chickens is mainly domestic, there's a lot of US factory farms. I'd expect tarrifs to primarily hurt foodstuffs that are heavily mported, like avocadoes, bananas, grapes, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, etc.
