1) buy Apple and Amazon

You can just make another account. If admin has an issue with “sock puppeting” I’m sure a private message would suffice to handle it.

Well you heard wrong. TSA took away the roasting sticks.

The passengers had to draw marshmallows, using nothing but crayons, and the crayons melted, leaving nothing but waxy jello full or bits of paper containing warning labels, something about cancer in California.

It was a pure stroke of luck that it all happened outside of California, else the entire passenger load could have developed cancer.

Jeez, guys, just make up a new APC character every couple years and pretend you're a newhire. Then retire the old one to be TOS compliant. This ain't rocket surgery.
