I'm a bit OOTL. How the hell does that even work?

Calling digital copy-pasting piracy is akin to calling breathing displacing the air, data centers be damned.

The thing is, getting this kind of exception doesn't happen even when 5 million people sign a petition. The government is ruthless. Usually.

Yet here we are, a 79-year old got it. Usually you need the situation on national news before the relevant authorities would even begin to consider granting such an exemption. So the users of the program are never anonymous. They need to be exposed to the media in order to get it.

Yet here we are, a "random" 79 year old got it, and that's all we know about them. So thinking the "random" person coincidentally the same age as Trump isn't most likely to in fact be Trump is definitely not a stretch.

Surely a random 79 year-old from from North Korea is equally as likely to be the recipient of this as arguably the most powerful man alive, and unarguably in the country where it's happening.

Why am I not surprised such a creature was found in Australia of all places?

You're probably thinking (rightly) of this type of tractor. However, the cabin unit of a truck is also called a tractor.

Searcing for the Jiefang J6p yields results of the latter type.

We don't have that tradition so I get chills at the month of hyperactivity and bad teeth I can imagine. Especially if that cone is 100% candy.

Don't forget the terrorist Doctors without borders!

And the terrorist Nobel prize comitee that dared honour them!
