It’s just bad engineering, the industry is so hell-bent at all times to produce the fastest card the most quickly, that there just isn’t the time to sit down and make it effecient or of a reasonable size.

You would end up scaling back or banning rights on everything down to cinder blocks and rocks, heck, even your toaster is a potentially deadly weapon.
Way to go, Emma. Even that was boring
There’s only one thing I can really take away from this whole thing with the unanimously approved con court justices and their unanimous dismissal of the grievance against ASUO President Emma Kallaway: Even when scandal seems to envelope her, Kallaway bores it all away.
