The comment was "# MULTIPASS!" https://github.com/workarea-commerce/workarea/blob/master/co... Some context: - The 5th Element is a cool movie - My sister's dog was named Leeloo Dallas Multipass and she was like my favorite dog of all time - I was the original developer of the `ProductMultipass` search query feature - Turns out, funny comments make other developers like your product more

Ugh...the tax shit in the US is so annoying. At least your e-commerce system is meant for a single kind of transaction, I worked on a more multi-purpose system (that was also open-sourced! https://github.com/workarea-commerce/workarea) that handled everything from physical items to buy online pickup in store to digital items to subscriptions. It was a LOT of work getting that tax system in order! We usually recommended our clients work with a company like Avalara or TaxJar (which is now just Stripe) so they wouldn't need to take on the burden of taxes, but a lot of folks didn't and just used our stuff. It got confusing lol...
