And the episodes are one hour long, that’s nearly two whole year 24/7 to watch it. It will take you 5 years to watch the 15000 episodes if you do this 8 hours per day everyday. It looks like they release 250 episodes per year, so in those 5 years you’ll have an additional 1250 episodes, 156 additional days.
And standard cheese is just milk way way past its conservation date.
I don’t find blue cheese so strong. Some are, and they can become too strong if they are a bit old, but they can also be very delicate. There are also way stronger and more in your face cheese than blue cheese.
Today definitely, because their use was twisted by those big corporation. Forcing artists to give them the rights to the IP.
Definitely a big problem for copyrights, patents are still 20 years, but they are also problematic. Biggest issue is patent trolls, companies who patent anything, sometimes even things that don’t really exist, just to attack companies who innovate.
Not sure if this is sarcasm, but yes, I do think artists should be rewarded, but not for more than 100 years after their death, that makes no sense.
This! Patent, trademarks, copyrights, all those intellectual properties laws were created more than a century ago, a time very different from us, with no corporations capable of pushing hundreds if not thousands of patents per year.
Those laws are so outdated that they are played to the inverse of what they were supposed to do. They were created to protect the inventor to make sure he can win money on his invention, today they are used to protect big corporation to make sure they can buy or kill whoever who would risk attacking their revenue.
They were invented as a way to push creativity and protect it but they are used today to limit and block creativity. There’s a good reason why creativity in technology in the last 10 years has come more from open source movements (additive manufacturing, blockchain, machine learning, etc.). It’s the only way to still protect creativity, making it open, therefore non patentable.
It’s their age and sex, Gandalf is indeed 2049 years old during the events of the Lords of the ring.
Can confirm for Switzerland. It’ll probably be some crappy tea bag quality, like lipton yellow or Twinings. They’ll also probably charge you 4-6 CHF (about the same in USD) for it.
I’ve had the chance to see this painting in real life at Musée d’Orsay and it’s one of the most impressive and stunning painting I’ve seen. It’s beautiful, and so is the museum.
Before I had my daughter I was never sick, thought my immune system was strong. Then she started school and I got sick every freaking time she got a little bit sick. Turns out my immune system is crap, I just wasn’t in contact with sicknesses that much.
The definition of being rich which I agree the most with is that you have invested your money so that it works for you sufficiently to cover your lifestyle’s expenses. It does not mean that you drive a fast car or have a penthouse but you don’t have to work to live.
For me it would mean being able to do whatever, learn to draw, play an instrument, travel, probably work on some software idea (my job), maybe try to create a company, but do whatever and be free to do so without any fear.
The same people will use Gmail without batting an eye and we all know what Google has been doing for years with emails in Gmail.
It’s quite funny that now that there are “AI” that everyone can use, people get all worried about their data being used to train them but nobody cared before when it was Google or amazon using them to train their models.
But that’s something that I witnessed change since the 80’s and makes the electronic crappier, it’s the fact that appliances in the 70’s-90’s were incredibly easy to fix. It was not rare for the manufacturer to even give schematics in the user’s manual. There were shops to repair stuff everywhere and it was something approachable by anyone who could hold a soldering iron.
