I'm suspicious that a lot of those 12,000 are constants. Just based on how I think those guys operate. You and I would change a constant and recompile. They will just splat location 0x239A

This stuff reminds me of what my mother said about feminists trying to get people to spell women with a y. She didn't like it because it made feminism seem like something petty and frivolous. If I put my tin foil hat on it feels like a

People get confused the hyper inflation in Germany was right after the end of WWI when Germany's economy was collapsing. Turns out you can't fix that with monetary policy. A point. Economists like people to believe that hyper infl
