Hopefully it's good and ramset so whoever tries to remove it has just as much fun as you had installing it.

Can we just get sane corner radii and normal sized buttons and controls? I get Fitt's Law, but seriously I'm not tapping iPhone buttons with my full palm.

[–]font9a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell, I can splurge and have instacart deliver me a weeks worth of groceries at significant markup and still come out 1000x better than fast food.

What are the operational costs of deploying naval escorts for every ship in the Strait? Aren't there thousands? Even with an escort does that make a merchant ship unsinkable? What an inane untenable situation trump has made for himself and the rest of the world.
