I'll give you bananas (we have only the 'regular' ones and the 'organic' variety, whatever that means). However, my grocery store probably has more than ten varieties of apples. I'm quite happy that most of them are labeled with a number that the scanning drone can input directly in the cash register.

Where did you read that?
So what if there's a no-fly zone for months? People fly too much anyway.
Yeah, tell that to my friend stuck in Switzerland. I think she'd like to get back home to her children.
I mean really, who needs an expensive big SSD for your porn collection? Unless you have 12 monitors running porn simulcasting...
Who are you and how did you get into my home?
