I wonder if anyone has challenged these restrictions in court. Most states follow a rule against perpetuities that would void any perpetual encumberance on a property (I think South Dakota is the exception).

Fifteen years ago means the patent will expire soon, so the idea will be public domain for others to implement.

I write code for embedded systems that have hard real-time deadlines. Flashing an LED is an inexpensive number of operations compared to most other diagnostic techniques. I can connect an oscilloscope to them to get meaningful accurate time measurements. I am not blinking out Morse code status messages (although I have considered it for some particularly squirrelly problems).

It’s me. I write software and complain to the hardware team when I don’t have leds to blink for diagnostic purposes.

Separate apps for various retail stores. I don’t want a home depot app. I don’t want a kroger app. We have a generic app for this category called a web browser. If you want me to download a specialized app for your store, I assume that means that my browser does not sufficiently breach my privacy for your “business purposes.”

If someone is proselytizing, I see them as less than human.

Reality Dysfunction was Peter F. Hamilton.

One of my cats has a much bigger murder section than the other. Her brain is probably about 30% murder and 30% food. Oddly, she is substantially thinner than the other one who is not very food or murder oriented. The porky one is mostly nap - probably 60%.

Maybe we should make his fantasies a reality. Treason can be a capital offense. Subverting our elections while being beholden to Moscow sounds a lot like treason to me.

Rape rates declined following the code spread availability of internet porn, I wonder if they will go higher in the stupid states (I live in one). Obviously, VPNs neuter the impact of the laws some, but not everyone is savvy enough to use them. I feel bad for adolescent boys.

Coming soon to the U.S., we need the seven-day work week to outcompete our foreign rivals. Don’t you want to be rich? It will trickle down. No that is not Reagan’s ghost laughing out loud at how gullible his constituents are, why do you think that?

Well there is no commandment that says, "Thou shall not grab thy date’s hog in a crowded theater on camera and in front of children. " I guess she is okay. Lol

They have a grifter to interpret it for them. They read curated selections. It is useful to know certain passages. For example, 1 Timothy 2:12 is useful for shutting down a female proselytizing.

Caught in the act of rape? Permanent damage would not be a bad outcome.

If Goebbels Junior here got the punishment he deserves, he’d probably become a conservative martyr and rallying point. Which I think would be useful for identifying others in need of re-education.

It was a German Shepard mix. I definitely felt like I was fighting for my life.

The cat was my pet probably 20 years ago. He jumped on the table and landed on a plate of barbecue sauce, so I had the bright idea to try to give him a bath to wash it off. He didn’t like baths.

The dog was probably 37 years ago. I was around 13 or 14. The dog was attacking a neighbor kid who was about 6 years old, so I was intervening to save the kid. The kid got away and my yelling attracted the dog’s owner’s attention. Not until after I got bit. It was some kind of German Shepard mix. My parents and the parents of the six year old reported him to the police, but nothing really happened. I think the owner was a cop.

I hated that dog. He was usually on the other side of a big fence and would bark super aggressively whenever anyone was near. When I intervened he had the kid’s head in his mouth. I kicked him in the ribcage as hard as I could, and he turned on me.

I got stitches from both incidents. Four for the cat bite and I think 12 from the dog. Cat was on the hand near the base of my thumb. The dog was on my right forearm.

No stitches for the hamster, he was a pet, but not very domesticated- probably because we had cats in the house too. I was probably about 8.

“Our newspaper is in such dire financial straits that we can’t afford to turn down any adveriser.” does bad things to employee morale and shareholder enthusiasm (which we all know is what really matters). When the truth is too damning, you cannot run with it.

I have been bitten by a cat that meant it and a dog that meant it. I would rather be bitten by a dog. The cat hit bone. The dog did not. The hamster bite bled profusely, but otherwise wasn’t too bad. Based on the information in this comic, I am going to avoid birds.
