I think you're probably right past a certain threshold of time or sales, but this one has thirty reviews.

I think you've nailed it - I was racking my brain connecting the article with any interpretation of the poem, rather than the literal text. This feels closer to using Mending Wall to justify a taller border fence.

The US has no federal laws AFAIK regarding use, only possession, which itself was reduced to a misdemeanor ages ago. Hopefully, the Congress will take a leaf out of the Alaskan legislature's book and simply stay out of its citizens&#x2

Ever thought about making this a bot? I was thinking about an automation to post an archive link for paywalled articles, but I suppose that's not allowed.

I'm happy to keep paying Marco $10 a year to leave Overcast's UI alone... I'd do the same for a secure but otherwise invisible browser.
