@TwitchyTeam Does this mean my Legos will have little baby Legos if I do it correctly/unprotected? Could save a lot of money--those things are expensive!

@MarioNawfal Why do I get the sense that worldwide employment numbers are going to take a statistically significant drop, in addition to a lot of pricey Beltway housing becoming suddenly affordable. This is a modern-day Augean stable situation
