The big thing about Fair Use/Fair Dealing is it’s not automatic protection from any sort of consequence, lawsuit, or prosecution. It’s only a possible defense you can try using once you’re in court about it, and there are no guarantees it’ll work out for you.

Fair Use/Fair Dealing has never been the magic “you can’t do anything to me” protection many people seem to think it is. A judge has every ability to decide what you did wasn’t a fair use and judge against you.

Not to mention that zillions of underage kids have their own legit cards nowadays.

The company’s stance is fully against using it on arthritic joints.

WD-40 Company does not recommend the use of WD-40 Multi-Use Product for medical purposes, and knows no reason why WD-40 Multi-Use Product would be effective for arthritis pain relief. WD-40 Multi-Use Product contains petroleum distillates and should be handled with the same precautions for any product containing this type of material.

People who swear by getting pain relief from spraying and/or rubbing on WD-40 are actually getting that relief from the cooling effect and/or rubbing, and it’s nothing to do with the chemicals in the spray.

It’s the latest in a long red line of red lines.

I have been chuckling like a dork at this particular patent since such things first became searchable online, and have never found any evidence of it being manufactured and marketed at all.

The “non-adhesive adherence” is illustrated in the diagrams on the patent which you can see at the link. The inventor proposes “a facing of fluffy fibrous material” to provide the filtration and the adherence; basically this thing is the softer side of a velcro strip, bent in half with the fluff facing outward so it sticks to the inside of your buttcrack to hold itself in place in front of your anus and filter your farts through it.

Many places have ways to drop off a bit of e-waste for free. In my area electronics manufacturers who sell their products in the state have to facilitate free recycling of e-waste. In practice this means pretty much any large electronics shop has a bin somewhere you can freely leave stuff to get recycled.

Because you can.

And in all likelihood forcing your fingerprint or face unlock is perfectly legally acceptable for them to do. A password or a code is something they’d have to force you to say and ultimately you can choose not to (though they’re still fine to just try and hack out a pin/pattern on their own, or use phone-cracking tools or backdoors) but you have no defense whatsoever against your biometrics being used.

Try this invention from 1977!

(I love an excuse to bring up my favorite thing out of the US Patent database.)

From the article:

Aida said the new material is as strong as petroleum-based plastics but breaks down into its original components when exposed to salt. Those components can then be further processed by naturally occurring bacteria, thereby avoiding generating microplastics that can harm aquatic life and enter the food chain.

As salt is also present in soil, a piece about five centimetres (two inches) in size disintegrates on land after over 200 hours, he added.

The material can be used like regular plastic when coated, and the team are focusing their current research on the best coating methods, Aida said. The plastic is non-toxic, non-flammable, and does not emit carbon dioxide, he added.

So I think the next thing the goose wants to know is, what’s it being coated with?

And then tow it outside the environment.

TIL the grabby gloves thing I missed due to lack of VR gear wasn’t HL3.

Good day!

I would also sacrifice your first unborn kid for this.

My Ashley O. doll is starting to glitch out a little. Should I be worried?

And they bought Cool Edit and destroyed it.

Corel bought Paint Shop Pro and destroyed it, not Adobe, though it was an Adobe-style move to be sure.

It’s the most popular web browser in the world. Direct access to the browser windows and browsing data of the majority of Internet users would be the point.

And the world supports many free and open source OSes, many of which have no present ties to or support by the people or organizations who started the things they were forked from.

I see no reason why the next big browser thing couldn’t be a Firefox fork.
