We’re already not running Biden.

Are you aware of this television program? It’s called “The News.”

I am positive prior art could be claimed for most if not all of those. Square Enix could cry afoul of the “mounting creatures” one as well as I’m sure many, many other earlier games on a plethora of platforms.

You could mount and ride Chocobos in Final Fantasy 2, i.e. the real “2,” the JDM only one on Famicom, which was released in 1988. The aforementioned patent was only filed on Nintendo’s part in 2024.

They can, to use a technical legal term, get fucked.

And exactly what is “lewd, obscene, or profane” is not actually defined in the law.

Surely that’s never been abused in the past. No, sir.

It is, provided you specifically do not look at the driving skills of the people who live there…

Denver is a liberal island in the generally quite conservative American west.

It never has been, and if it ever were we wouldn’t have needed all those statues of the chick with the scales and the blindfold as propaganda.

They carry batons here, too. And Tasers, and pepper spray, and lots of other weapons that are not guns.

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

Matthew 24:36.

RTFM, noob.

Seems to be missing “hole,” “canoe,” and “whistle.”

If you stick a penny in the back will it do a wheelie, too?

I maintain that the best joke in the first Toy Story was Mr. Potato Head thumbing at Woody and going, “laser envy…”

No, surprisingly.

For grins just now I scrolled through ten (10) pages on “all” (i.e. including federated and not just local lemmy.world posts) and sorted by “hot” (the default).

I got one MurderMoe post, one ChainsawFolk post, and one TouhouProject post.

…And about ten linuxmemes posts, I didn’t even count how many politics posts, several TenForward posts, like five Lemmy Shitposts entries, quite a few News and World news, and three inscrutable posts in Arabic despite by content language being set to English.

Barely a single pair of anime tiddies among the whole lot. What a drag.

?

I don’t see any anime subs by default just browsing the lemmy.world all page when sorted by hot, active, scaled, or new. So what exactly are you doing, and where do I sign up?

There are retro revival consoles that aren’t deliberately made to looks like the original incarnations. I think the issue here was that the consoles being sold were deliberate counterfeits of otherwise valuable original retro machines.

For instance, litigious as they are Nintendo has either been unable or unwilling to snuff out things like the RetroN machines which play original Nintendo and SNES cartridges (and Genesis, and some others) but don’t claim to be a Nintendo machine or look like one in any way.

That said, I personally would totally buy a fake OG JDM Super Famicom just to have on the shelf, or even a shell just that looks like one.

Roses are red

Violets are blue

They say it don’t be that way

But sometimes it do

Water heaters are also stupidly easy to install.

For some reason, in my locale you have to apply for a permit to replace a water heater. I strongly suspect the compliance rate with this asinine scheme is very near to zero. (For anyone reading this, yes, I will totally pay the state for the privilege of installing my own water heater in my own home when I switch mine to hybrid. Scout’s honor.)

Data was a person, to the extent that there was a very famous episode exploring defining him as such. He may have been a machine, but he had clear free will and was capable of thinking for himself, to the extent that the Federation even at their level of technology at the time had no idea how to make another one of him. He was not made specifically to fill a Starfleet uniform, either – Enrolling in Starfleet academy was his idea and he earned his commission just like everybody else. That’s not something a toaster would do, no matter how complicated of a little song it can beep.

The existing crew of the Enterprise certainly knew this having already served with him for some time, several of them having their asses saved by him personally, and one of said asses also having been tapped.

I imagine Sales™ would not manage to clear that bar, and Pulaski would have no idea either way (unless maybe she were thoroughly briefed).

$0.50 per kWh is absurd. Where we are, the power company charges $0.1065 on peak and $0.1001 off. (As in, about a dime.)

Note that this is still about 33% more than at the start of the pandemic. We were around $0.07 per kWh prior to 2021.

People are going to see this, so here’s the answer.

Logitech’s web UI is crap. See that tiny, unlabled triangle on the list on the left?
