The pharmacy actually had my meds ready when I went in to collect them today

I've been kinda wanting a Commodore 64 for a while

It's a bad vulnerability, but the logo for Spectre is really cute
A robotic punk rock band fronted by a maplebot would be both adorable and kick-ass
More robotic rock bands please
