   Fun "game", but asking you to identify one of the main roads, vs some minor, three-house road makes it very luck-based. Also, I clicked directly on the (correct) road, and it took the points away, because the hitbox was off https

   Farmers don't care about the clock, neither do the cows. Work traditionally started when the sun came up, and cows got fed then too... since cows still can't read the clock, they still get up and want food at sunrise, DST or not.

    I mean... sometimes you want to install 3rd party, non-appstore software, and not having that possibility is a fuck-up for me (and a reason not to buy apple).

    The biggest benefit to being "virus free" (even though it's not), is the package management. On windows, most software installs, updates, etc., rely on you executing a random .exe file, downloaded from some random page online

    "It's different when we do it"? Why don't you agree? Americans occupied a sovereign country, started a war there... why no sanctions against american oligarchs? And if not, why sanctions now against the russians?
