what stops them from replicating my thing with more money and resources?

That's what happens today, anyway. Most of us cannot afford the lawyers to make the law work for us.

In contrast, if we re-use an innovation the billionaires have purchased, we go to jail.

The surprisingly deep copy of Balatro in "Dave the Diver" is pretty good.

But we just hope that harsh chemicals will cover up the natural consequences of our inhumane practices. So I can see both sides.

Please send help. We're disgusting.

"The Mandalorian" is fantastic space western, and worth watching for what it is, if you can ignore the Star Wars connection.

It might tempt you to also watch "Boba Fett", which does not stand in it's own at all, but does weirdly contain a couple of good enough bonus episode of "The Mandalorian" for marketing reasons.

Downpour is great for audio books. I was pleasantly surprised to find a non-mopoly replacement for Audible.

Did I miss something, or is a 12 year old in France now in (indefinite?) police custody for being curious online?

Altair Basic was released in 1978 for hardware that sold around 25,000 units..

I'm sure glad computing remained exactly equally complex since then, with exactly the same number of users, and same minimal diversity of use cases. (This is sarcasm.)

Everything should still take 10 days. Anyone who tells me it takes longer probably believes all that crap about the Internet being more than a passing fad. (Still sarcasm.)

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be buying one at the first opportunity.

My other action figures are going to have to stand in the shadow of the glory of "it's just Jack Black, I guess".

(No sarcasm. I'm really going to buy this. I love the idea of Jack Black just playing "Jack Black".)
