I’d cut her a bit of slack.

She might have been dreaming of this for a long time, she thought that she could trust her boyfriend to do this simple and easy task, but one very important to her, and he fails to do it, and since they’re in a relationship, one doesn’t think of writing stuff down.

If it happened as reported, I agree with the ruling, but I wouldn’t be so quick to ridicule her.

1. oral contract
2. If it was important, she should have prepared a back-up.

Sure, until after several insect generations when many have adapted.

There have been achievements in North Korea … They do have a cohesive, pristine actually, innocent culture. A culture that has not been penetrated by globalisation and by Western mores and is very interesting to see.

or maybe try Vimeo:

"Turn the tables with our unity.

They’re neither moral nor majority."

What if the company openly said they weren’t selling you actually Disney-approved stuff, but your friends don’t have to know that?

wp:Mickey Mouse

Although Mickey Mouse entered the public domain in 2024, the character, like all major Disney characters, remains trademarked. The trademark lasts in perpetuity, as long as it continues to be used commercially by its owner. So, whether or not a particular Disney cartoon goes into the public domain, the characters themselves may not be used as trademarks without authorization.

​

The latter could constitute fraud, but instead let’s say instead of a dude in his garage it was a company that made generics?

Why should I care if a Mickey Mouse T-shirt is Disney-approved?

IP trolls are holding back progress.

What I find quite annoying is how people created these monopolies.

50 years ago, there were 3 (arguably 4) American car companies—still a de facto oligopoly, but 3 is better than 1. The Japanese and VW added to it.

​

Today we essentially have one search portal, Google; one social network site, Facebook; one video-hosting site, YouTube; and one micro-blogging site, Twitter/X.

If people spent perhaps 1/10th of their micro-blogging time on other sites, Twitter might not have been as attractive to Musk and his backers, but they chose ease over choice, and now they’re wailing over what he’s doing with it.

I’m off-topic.

I mostly agree with your statement. Maybe Amazon likes the internet, but probably most others in big business in the US don’t: it might account a bit for the shitty websites of many of them.

He would have succeeded; and that point would probably be reiterated a few times at his funeral.

The leaders of countries such as the PRC, Modi’s India, Putin’s Russia, ans Iran might not like the idea of decentralization.

Indeed, they might not like the internet itself.

The original wasn’t, but this cover kind of is.

My question isn’t totally rhetorical: I’m but an pseudonymous person on the internet.

Also, I don’t think it’s an engineering problem as much as a political one.

What is their ratios-of-brine to seawater do they use?

Presumably it’s toxic mostly because of the concentration of salt.

If it can’t be used—and up north salt is used in winter for roads—it can be cleaned a bit, diluted with more seawater and discharged back into the ocean.

((the brine of 1 mass unit of seawater that’s been desalinated) + 20 units of regular seawater) ÷ 20 = 20 units of 5% saltier seawater discharged
