Certainly it could be, I would like to see some proper study done into it, but it’s probably borderline impossible.

Conversely patents are somewhat unobtainable by the average Joe, I think I saw it costing somewhere in the region of 25-50k to patent something by the time you factor in the cost of a decent patent lawyer.

Maybe a 10-15 year patent period with lower barrier to entry would be a good thing.

Indeed

Haha, I just happened to be watching engine swap videos earlier today and thought it fit well!

I’m in the same position as you. From what I gather you can still transfer files, I’m still buying a kobo when my voyage bites the dust.

Isn’t that pretty much how parents work already? They’re extensible, sure, but only up to 20 years total. Not only that but you’re forced to document it too.

Lol, my cat would not at all be happy with being scratched there. Persistently ignoring his nips would result in a bite.

I know you didn’t ask, but may I volunteer a car engine instead of a spoon. There’s still IP involved in a car engine, but nobody is going to tell me I cant put my VW engine in Honda and sell it.

Not really, the original point was to prove the earth isn’t 4000 years old. Even if this were the only way lead could be created I’m assuming some portion of the decay could take place in space and then be part of the earth’s formation.

A Polish colleague of mine once accidentally picked Czech in an online work training exercise and then spent the next 30 minutes giggling to himself. I asked him afterwards what was up “Czech sounds like baby talk”

I skim read the title and made assumptions. Substitute Palestinians for Hezbollah in my previous post, doesn’t really have any bearing on how difficult it is to spin it.

Thank you

Seems pretty easy to spin “Depriving Palestinians of the funds required to wage war on Israel” or something variant thereof

I still don’t really care

If I remember correctly the Skype for business still identified as communicator on the about page.

If I’m not having a whoosh moment, the fact they have bases in Ireland and the Netherlands very much sounds like they’re operating a Double Irish Dutch Sandwich.

A life sentence in the UK is distinct from a whole life order. Usually 25-30 years. The 12 year minimum is the length of time before he would be entitled to parole.

You’re going to want to be in the passing lane more than 5s before you pass another vehicle, doubly so at 270.

It does seem to be debatable in one case - specifically Shamima Begum, at the time she was stripped of citizenship she was apparently entitled to Bangladesh citizenship through her parents (hence why the home secretary felt it was possible) however Bangladesh have said she was never actually a citizen, she’s never been to Bangladesh and they have no intention of giving her Bangladesh citizenship. The courts of appeal in the UK have sided with the former home secretary, however she does appear to be effectively stateless.

In general though, it is understood that a person’s citizenship in the UK cannot be stripped unless they are dual citizens.

That post definitely has got a strong “not all preppers” vibe to it.

Ah, just at the turn of the century.
