I encountered this madness by way of a guided tour of the Tower of London, specifically a mention of the Beauchamp Tower.

I pointed out that this was insanity, and suggested to correct the pronunciation, but my request was denied. Which I then glolmondely accepted.

@syphdias @TyberiusPrime I agree on the "no true way to limit abilities" part.

`AGENTS.md`: "Always create a topic branch before committing."
OpenCode prompt: "Refactor the --flurbnicate option to accept a numerical argument."
OpenCode: adds commit on `main`

"Spanking" is a kinky activity between consenting adults who understand safewords and tap-outs.

If you do it to kids instead, it's called beating, violence, or child abuse.
