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.

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.

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.)

This Simon Bar Sinister shit is getting real.

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.

After personally speaking to a Taiwanese engineer working for TSMC in AZ, there is a major cultural difference, it shouldn't be overlooked.

People forget though, Intel is also expanding their plant in Chandler so this project is competiting for workers from within a diminished work force against a huge competitor. Intel doesn't need to be told how to pay and run US based capital projects.

If anything TSMC should be embarrassed they couldn't successfully forecast a huge capital project to completion. That's where the lack of competency and blame should be placed.

 

Developer be praised!

When you zoom into an image and move it to an image boundary Connect no longer exits zoom mode.

That was extremely frustrating.

 

So I found this one up by accident while watching a video. The volume control was inoperative. I exited the video and found that volume up and down now controlled page up and down. Exiting the application. The volume control returns.

Maybe this is a feature??
