    What is not cool is that ROOT was "designed" and built by people who had absolutely no idea how to run a large-scale software project. And it shows everywhere - it's one huge monol…

    This is pure BS. The self-appointed progessives/wokes are not moderate or centrist in any way, but they have huge influence over Democrats' policy. And they will be responsible for…

    It is legit, but you need to prove your losses due to the breach.

    Not going to happen, major reason for annexation was to keep Sebastopol as the major/only Russia navy base in the Black Sea. That reason will never vanish as there are no other sui…
