More time was spent on this review, than was spent on the design of the knife!

Appreciate the content, great read!

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".

What's your setup and hardware look like? I'm just curious.

My jellyfin service has been up for about six months, and has played probably 100+ shows and movies, for myself internally and a few external clients over that time. My hardware is a HP elite desk mini and a 10TB USB HDD

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

I stick to only low-calorie guns, so I can eat more per week without getting too fat to get into my huge truck.

How's everyone feeling today?

I'm a solid right column, second row from the bottom.

Actual budget does do that! You can tie it to automatically import transactions via SimpleFIN.

Some things you'll need to manually do, like real estate valuations.

That makes sense! However, in American style monarchy, let's have the country run by the....... Chancellor maybe?

Pretty much. I've never been more disappointed in my fellow Americans than over the last few months.

Both the apathy, and the actual Nazis running around.
