I’m also on Mastodon as https://hachyderm.io/@BoydStephenSmithJr .
Policing the speech of other people = authoritarianism, yes.
Copyright is a government-granted (and enforced) monopoly. Under anarchy, no one would benefit from copyright protection, at least not the same way we have it now.
People could voluntarily police their own speech to stay in an association… but I don’t know how/if that would scale.
Works created by the U.S. government do not benefit from copyright protection.
I don’t believe either the government in general or congress in specific have the blanket ability to ignore copyrights held by others.

Well, maybe I’ll try again in the future but I don’t currently own a Samsung.
I guess the answer to at least one of those is no. Last time I tried a battery replacement, I broke the screen either during assembly or disassembly. I build my own desktop PCs, and have fixed laptop monitors and drives, but every time I attempt hardware repair on something phone-ish, I make it worse (even going back to when I owned an OpenMoko).
Employment is a necessity under Capitalism. Performance is not.
I agree. I don’t really see any problem with her performing the play.
BUT, I’m not sure the library should be forced to let her use the space (or be assessed civil penalties). So, I don’t think she should sue or that the suit should go her way.
I could be convinced if the library is supposed to be providing performing space to the public and the library is controlled/funded by the government. Then, I think she might have free speech protections, especially after they had done some scheduling. Asking her to change the characters definitely seems like content policing, not mere “time and manner” control.
Living in the sauna that is Arkansas, I don’t usually think about dry air, but I think you are correct. If you’ve dehydrated yourself through breathing, plain water is fine for hydration.
If you can have food that is an electrolyte source with your water, that’s fine.
If you consumed the food prior to the dehydrating events, it won’t assist in restoring electrolytic balance.
Tap water has too few electrolytes to restore your electrolytic balance after losing water (via sweating or urination). But yeah, it does technically contain electrolytes.
Yes, all the ways in which human lose water they also lose electrolytes (“salts”). More with sweat, but still some with urine. So, re-hydrating should include at least some of those. This has been known for decades, tho ravers often forget it and have died from hyponatremia.

For me, the best part of the episode was when they tried to “surrender to the rebellion” and there was a second automated system by someone further up the fascist hierarchy.
The “anaphalaxis” I was talking about was the alternative to the sub crush, and what happened to the billionaire that is the subject of the article, so I think you might have misunderstood me?
Bee-igi.
Based on the simulations I’ve seen, yeah. I’m sure there were plenty of panic in the sub and during the anaphylaxis, but I believe once the sub failed, there was less than a second between in first physical sensation to the complete disorganization of the nervous system, rendering the sub death quite painless. With anaphlaxis, even a sudden, sever attack, there will be several minutes of (at least) muscle strain as your diaphragm desperately tries to pull in more oxygen, and also general pain as your tissues squeeze against one another as they expand and nerve cells die.
I can and have accepted death; I’m too old to believe radical life extension will save me. But, many deaths are incredibly painful. If I have a choice on how to go out, inert gas asphyxiation seems best, but some sort of rapid disorganization isn’t too bad. Anaphylactic shock seems worse.
It’s like intraoffice e-mail.
Analysis and review are fair uses available to everyone.
The military does have fairly broad ability to violate, or even nationalize (and then classify), copyright and patents. Technically they have to justify that with a national security claim, but those are rarely reviewed or rejected. I doubt any of the U.S. armed forces pays for a public performance fee when barracks movie night exceeds 10 individuals, even if the movie is Disney.
