They definitely market the "brand" leading to quasi-religious fervour. Of course, there's religious devotees to all 3. I throw my lot in with the Linux crowd because of freedom: freedom to use the software and not give a fuc

Lots about the US, not much about Ukraine. Ukraine isn't a pawn on a board for two nations to play with, it's a country. NC makes good points if that's how you see the world but his opinions are outdated. People deserve to

I mean, you can definitely tell the difference between, say, a mass-produced egg and one from a naturally raised chicken. The latter often has more orange-y yolks. That being said, some large-scale producers add stuff to the diet to get m
