(linuxiac.com)
I’m also someone.
Thats how the avengers beat kang in the cartoon
Kang who comes from a couple thousand years in the future uses a modified version of iron mans operating system
So iron man is able to exploit it

I should get into selling Electrolytes ~ Smart teen me
If there's still turkey in the fridge, I'm totally having sandwich ~ hungry teen me

Isn't this the idea of docker?
I was just thinking lets have the date expand infinitely.
