touch it, so
the aspirational down kids over at dod get a chance
to shine.
mircea_popescu: the problem here is
that dod is uniquely unequipped
to do
this.
this is a job for
the ss, which is WHY
they handlwe counterfitting in
the first place.

thereby actually doing some work

the effect of

time you
