To get all of the tricks remaining in the deck

I knew a professor who named his dog “Sweety” just to annoy his wife because he called her that also.

While trying to come up with a name for our previous cat I kept getting shot down by my wife. “Nah…nah…” One day we were walking through the supermarket and she asked again and I facetiously looked around and saw a sign in the produce section and said, “How about Kiwi?” We both realized that we liked it. lol

Rub that belly!

Adopted our furball from a foster family after their original owners couldn’t keep him. We liked the name and kept it.

I’m afraid we’re accumulating genetic defects and weaknesses because we’re not allowing them to be weeded out anymore.

If they are so pro life I’d expect them to support universal healthcare but they very rarely do.

In theory, a musician should be protected against abuse of their music.

You mean like with copyright (IP) laws?

Patents and copyright originated to protect everyone. Charles Dickens complained that his books were copied rampantly. Without them any invention by the little guy would be immediately stolen and ramped up into production at levels the little guy can never match. Why would I work on anything if it can just be stolen with no legal protection? Universities and SMEs constantly issue patents, if they can’t commercialize them themselves they can license them to someone who can.

chances are you cannot enjoy as much information and content as one born in a richer country.

What? The internet is full of free info.

The real issues are things like:

1. Insanely long copyright periods. Sorry but your grandkids/Disney shouldn’t profit from your work 70+ years later.

2. Patent camping. Either do something with it or lose it.

3. Patent lawsuit factories. The patent office makes money off of fees and is too quick to hand out patents that are overly broad or trivial. You have businesses that just hoard patents with no intention to use them except to sue others.

Well yah. The alternative is barter and farmers only need so many cell phones and software developers.

When you look at revolutions the tipping point was always the threat of going hungry and losing your home. That makes everyone desperate.

The left has become so focused on illegal immigrants and identity politics that they have abandoned working class economic issues and rural white voters and it has cost them elections.

Seeing as people have pushed out to every tiny corner of the country if it exists they would’ve found physical remains by now.

I’m centrist so I probably believe in something that offends both sides.

I have that and they still are still a pain (I said something else here and it got censored! LOL) to get in or out of a crowded tool jar. Then I always bump that end switch and they pop open in the jar.

UV light breaks the polymer bonds. You now have monomer dust.

The vast majority of people don’t fall into that and manufacturers will focus on the majority of customers.

Or do what they do in chemistry which is to take a rod (or in the kitchen anything like a dinner knife or handle) and place it against the spout and let the liquid then run down the rod.

Uhhhh what?

Thicker helps with balance in the hand. Cheap knives usually are too light in the handle or the blade is so thin it flexes. A sharp knife is what helps cut and you shouldn’t work with dull knives.

Tape a dildo to your vulva now sit down on a round bowl and see if it touches the rim. Now imagine you have to pee while taking a poop and you now have to shove the end down so it pees into the bowl. Do this without touching the rim.
