America is a Gun
England is a cup of tea.
France, a wheel of ripened brie.
Greece, a short, squat olive tree.
America is a gun.
Brazil is football on the sand.
Argentina, Maradona's hand.
Germany, an oompah band.
America is a gun.
Holland is a wooden shoe.
Hungary, a goulash stew.
Australia, a kangaroo.
America is a gun.
Japan is a thermal spring.
Scotland is a highland fling.
Oh, better to be anything
than America as a gun.

My neighbors' Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV makes a flying saucer "whooo".
This week I will put the studded snow tires on my car, so it will just make the sound of walking on broken glass.

I bought a particular TI pocket calculator because it still supports octal. There are some corner cases where the \xhh parsing will go awry, such as following the two hex digits with the characters A-F.
It was easier just to use the octal value of the character/symbol.

"…we need to reach certain development milestones that will bring K-9 Mail into alignment with Thunderbird’s feature set and visual appearance."
As a long-time Thunderbird user, I have to say that's a really bad idea. The T-bird UI is ungainly and intimidating on the desktop, and I can't imagine any of it will translate well to mobile.
