"did you just buy the AML-S905X-CC because it of the name" i had many contenders for potential single board computers to use as my base for muninn, all of which would have worked equally well, and then i made my final decision based on it being called "le potato"

i'd say "pay attention to who has kind things to say about rod liddle, the racist pedophile, following his death" but to no surprise it is the entirety of the mainstream british press
