When you order pizza, ask for extra sauce, not cheese. They typically don’t charge for that but often include extra toppings to make the pizza look “normal”
If you have Paramount+, don’t mind doing a free trial, or like to sail the seven seas, you can watch The Reagans documentary series. Another documentary that gives you some insight into the type of people they were is the Rock Hudson one. The TL;DR on that one is that they had been good friends for decades, especially Nancy, and the moment it came out that he had AIDS, they pretended he had never existed.
Ronald was basically an idiot but Nancy was a truly foul human being.
A trademark (also written trade mark or trade-mark[1]) is a type of intellectual property consisting of a recognizable sign, design, or expression that identifies a product or service from a particular source and distinguishes it from others.[2][3]
I would say an animated intro isn’t a trademark, and even then making a movie with that material isn’t copying someone’s trademark for your trademark. But this could get interesting.
I mean they just need to slap a ™ on every official appearence of Mickey. Hell, they can easily say an abstract representstion of Mickey’s ears represent Disney and they wouldn’t even be wrong.
This is pushing my knowledge but trademark infringement would be if you use their logo as your logo. You can’t mislead people into thinking your product comes from them. That doesn’t mean you can’t ever have public domain things in your product.
In November, I was sick for a month. I was coughing like crazy after contracting a respiratory virus.
Early December, I’m getting better. I was doing my things, like, changing my son’s bedsheets, when I had a small cough. And I heard “clok” sound in my body, followed by a very intense pain in my ribcage.
I had cracked a rib. Not caused by how intense the cough was, but by repetition of the coughing for more than a month.
Thursday 2 weeks ago I got laid off due to the economic environment.
The stock market hit a new record high that day.
The next day a grant I got one of my programs named in came through for 80k. Between that and my other program revenue, I’d have been fully paying for myself the next 2 years.
FM receiver on phones + 3.5mn jack was a crucial source of local radio transmissions. I suspect some phones still ship radio receivers but the popular types like Samsungs and iPhones don’t seem to care (or perhaps that competes with their music and podcast markets).
Here in Italy since 2020 it’s not legal to sell a device that has an FM receiver if that device doesn’t also have a DAB/DAB+ receiver, so many companies have been shipping software updates that disabled the FM receiver app even if they were compliant on older phones. Kinda sucks.
That sucks! As long as a device can decode the signals, I don’t see why they should phase it out just to be compatible with DAB+ (especially when infrastructural costs are not a major factor).
Just like with Threads, you have to ask - why are they doing it? What’s in it for them? How good an internet citizen are they? And the answers for me, just like Threads, are not good for the fediverse.
Some of the replies to people against Threads federating are that those of us who don’t like the idea are isolationists who don’t want the fediverse to grow. They’re wrong. Nobody I know is protesting WordPress federating, or Discourse or Flipboard or microblog or (if it happens) Tumblr. The fediverse getting bigger is not a bad thing. But the likes of Meta and reddit are not good internet citizens. Being picky and having standards about choosing to federate with entities like that is the most responsible thing we can do.
That reminds me that one year, my cousin’s boyfriend got her a $1500 coffee machine, a flight of syrup and like a $500 giftcard to a local coffee shop for beans. Turns out, she was cheating on him with a woman at the time, and she broke up with him like 1 week later to be with her. It took all of us chewing her out to give the poor guy his present back so at least he could recoup the ~$2200 he spent.
I’m Jewish and never really cared for Christmas much because I always felt like an outsider- until I spent one in the UK, where it’s pretty much entirely secular and just about having fun. Such a different experience. I’d probably like Christmas in America if it was more like that.
As a Scandinavian, I'm genuinely super happy to hear that! As far as I'm concerned the Christians are very welcome to celebrate whatever they'd like, but they have no right to monopolize the festivities. It's winter solstice goddamn it, it's been celebrated since the beginning of time and belongs to everyone!
It sucks how much of it is Christian in the U.S. My whole life it was, “oh, you’re not a Christian and willing to do our Christian things for Christmas? You’re not one of us,” until I went to the UK. I wish people here understood.
