A Lithuanian equivalent to “there’s no such thing as a free lunch” is nemokamas sūris tik pelėkautuose. It means “the only free cheese is in a mousetrap” * read on for more international cheese phrases (this thread may not turn out grate, but hopefully it will be gouda ‘nuff)…

For all the "It doesn't matter" people, I can confirm that in response to the court order, all 10 of the DOGE people at SSA were completely removed from the system. Someone was just dying to wipe their profiles, and they did it immediately.
