It’ll affect it, but it won’t stop it. This is a good question to bring up though.

I design medical devices. IP is incredibly important in this process to protect our R&D investment in the current system. If IP didn’t exist, we’d protect that through other means like obfuscation of function.

Also if IP didn’t exist, I could design devices that are so much better at healing people. So much of what I do is restricted because someone else has 30 years left on what they patented.

R&D is expensive. Just because you see what someone else did, doesn’t mean you can easily replicate it.

In short: if your goal is pure profit, yeah removing IP probably hurts this a little. If your goal is producing the best product, then get rid of it.

I think the best solution would be a much shorter exclusionary period for patents.

There’s gotta be a cooldown right? This is why I space out activations of my ult “Do A Crime”.

How many slaps until he heats up to a nice medium-rare?

Well, time to get fluent in Spanish.

Hola, mi amigos.

Nooooooooooooo

Back in my mind, rent free.

And it’s gonna be enforced, right?

Right?

Ain’t paranoia if it’s valid…

Solidarity. Fuck musk and trump.

A decent portion of our best have already left.

I’m going to stay and fight, but I respect the ones who choose to leave.

That’s fair, keep the protest attitude, but take care of your family first!

Dang, I wish I had heard about this before now! What’s the best way you all hear about stuff like this?

I feel a new SCP entry

I also firmly believe that this approach is way more likely to get people thinking about consumption in their lifestyles in a positive manner, vs the stereotype judgemental hippie that is often imagined.

Where to draw the line, when it comes down to it, is a very personal decision and depends on a lot of different circumstances. I think we can all agree that the furthest we can move away from animal exploitation is the “best”, but that isn’t always feasible.

It’s a lot like recycling and reducing waste. We don’t need a few people doing it perfectly, we need everyone doing it imperfectly. Just doing it better than now. Any degree you move toward the ideal is worth it, and not making it all the way should not be shameful.

Cleaning the humidifier with H2O2 is relatively benign. It’ll probably take care of the mold/algae issue. I’d run it outside or in the garage as a precaution, but the risk is low as consumer grade H2O2 is very diluted.

It’s got twice the oxygen! The ONLY possible outcome is becoming the new captain America.

I’ll do what I can to help from the US side!

Brushing the cats regularly is the first step - this removes loose fur that will otherwise fall out on other surfaces. Most cats love being brushed, and id say doing it a every week at a minimum will help.

Other than brushing, having the right type of vacuum can make a big difference.

Are you in the southern hemisphere? Our cats shed a lot more in the summer vs winter. Spring is especially bad, as they are getting rid of their winter coat.

Thank you for taking the time to make sure you’re taking the best care of them! They have a good home with you.

Around 2/3 of us, yes. The 1/3 who voted red, and the 1/3 who did not vote.

But not all of us.
