Personally I prefer the flavour of plant-based alternatives over dairy milk. So I don't see myself having any interest in buying it.

Two words: pube loofah. The mons pubis is a great place to lather up. Then I just scoop up soap with my bare hands and bring it where it needs to be.

This post confuses me. Why would code be simpler than the math notation? Both involve symbolic abstraction of basically the same complexity
