The public must gain it’s share of the revenue for allowing a private company to use public domain IP exclusively.

Hold a yearly auction to see who is granted rights to the property which is now the public’s.

I purchased that Sharp microwave in the 90s, don’t know, lost track of it, moved across country into a house with a built-in microwave that is also a Sharp.

Ever since I saw his videos I feel like I somehow won the microwave feature lottery.

It’s a good unit, weird they aren’t all as good or better.

At some point race should fade away as some other trait like eye color or attached/detached ear lobes.

Having said that: if everyone who has attached lobes is being blamed for the world problems then I think you may get push back.

As an Arizona voter I’m not voting for him but there are worse people running in politics. This guy is Qanon crazy but not morally bankrupt like some others. Watch the Channel 5 with Andrew Callihan video. I guarantee the image you have in your head is different than who this guy is in reality.

Ukraine is stating almost 300k dead. There’s some factor who are casualties above that that are wounded.

In the article the Russian priests are saying 1 million lost to death/wounded.

Ive seen some analyst say that dead/wounded are 1:3 in this conflict which would check the 1 million figure.

Toyota and others have been promising solid state battery tech. It’s time for them to deliver yet these plants won’t be ready until 2030. (If they can make it work at all.)

I wish them luck. But they are coming from the rear and have a long way to go.

Gotta find time for a rewatch of Tucker and Dale vs Evil

This poster can be seen in the Michael Jackson Thriller video, directed by John Landis, the creator of this movie.

I always thought it was a joke about how poorly made horror films were made, pure schlock, but came to find out there’s a full movie behind that joke.

Rest in peace Suzanne.

Her character and the thighmaster commercial often positioned her as a punchline, but I will always appreciated her spirit which had a Dolly Parton like quality - there was only love for her.

Having said that, October 16 is her Birthday (today) which she would have been 77. Mathematically living exactly 77 years on earth. (Assuming she had lived past her birth time of day yesterday.)

Property owners trolling local community IRL.

The messaging coming from Budenov, the Ukrainian head of intelligence:

“We have the ability to hit any part of the temporarily occupied Crimea as of now. Absolutely at any point we can get the enemy. Those who have done stupid things, it’s better for them to leave,”

“And those who are waiting must prepare and do everything to help, first of all, the intelligence agencies, and then further, when the troops go into the open.”

Psyops for sure, but part of me wants it to happen. Now with this battery gone it definitely sets the stage.

Good take - I think you nailed it.

I would add this:

Ricardo f’in Montalban

The dude nailed it.

His chest should have been in the credits for supporting actor.

Oh man

That article wrapped me up in a cozy small town newspaper article, so basic in its nature to make you laugh a little about a sale of a sandwich costume that sold for $16,000 🫔

And something about lettuce 🥬

Here we go again.

Lawmakers: put back doors in end to end encryption.

Tech sector: we can’t.

Lawmakers: think of the children.

Tech sector: it’s math, if we weaken the tech, nothing is private.

Lawmakers: yes, or leave the market.

Tech sector: ok.

This has been playing out since the Clinton administration and the idea there, which failed was key escrow. Key escrow still isn’t a solution becase the code is, now, open source.

The lawmakers want the public to have less privilege than the criminals, or they want the entire population to act as criminals by using freely available software. This shows no forethought.

I have no problem with craft beer or the people who make it.

Just stop with the endless IPAs.

PottedPlant, 9 months ago

Thanks for the explanation.

If that’s your thing, have at it.

Went to a local brew pub and they were sold out of anything BUT IPAs. There were only 3 non-IPAs and 8 or 9 IPAs. So I wondered, has the market decided in favor of IPAs?

But then, they sold out of everything else?

So where are we in relation to ‘peak IPA’, before or after the peak?

You have inspired me to be open to try a few more in a ‘one and done’ fashion.

Amazing it took this long! Must have been some creative accounting.

COVID, the CCP red lining capital rules, and the housing price collapse started 2 years ago. So congrats to Country Gardens for hiding this for 24 months.

China is going through their 2009 housing collapse now. It’s going to be worse than 2009, at least for China, due to the combination of factors of the post pandemic world.
