[U.S. Marines @USMC]

Chuck Norris didn't join the Marine Corps...the Marine Corps applied to him.

Heaven’s streets have always been guarded by Marines. Today, Chuck Norris reported for duty.

We mourn the passing of Chuck Norris, a @usairforce veteran, who also became an honorary Marine in 2007 when awarded the title by then Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. James T. Conway.

Chuck Norris is one of just over 100 individuals to be awarded the title of Honorary Marine in the entire 250-year history of the Corps.

Some missions may require a battalion, but this one just requires an Honorary Marine.

@_JamesWard Colima does run on the MacBookPro M1, I use it to build images all the time. So I assume the runner has the issue.

I somehow missed that! If you're stuck on the JVM due to past investment, I think GraalVM is one easy way out

[David D. Lucas @DavidDLucas]

@lukaseder @sdeleuze Need interfaces so we can mock responses on the repos. Use of statics should be eliminated. Finding issues with mocking tools with how the DSL Context is exposed in a parallel test run.
