[Sorry if this joke is too lame, but...]
A pedophile, a traitor, a thief, a fraudster, a wife beater, a failed businessman, a draft dodger, a tax evader, a semi-literate moron, a felon, a mob boss, a rapist, an insurrectionist, a mass murderer, a tacky decorator, a golf cheater, and a senile man walk into a bar. Says the bartender, "And what will it be for you today, Mr. Trump?"

Ray Bradbury has a story with this theme. IIRC, written in the 1950, and set in the very near (then) future after mankind is wiped out by a global nuclear war.

Many sources, like Wikipedia,claim that the concept of copyright was born in England in the 17th century and give the impression that it was about properly rewarding *authors*. But in fact it was invented in Continental Europe a couple of centuries earlier. 🧵‍>

OBJ is a file format for describing 3D shapes of things, e. g. for 3D printing. A .obj file contains data lines that define coordinates of points, corners and colors of polygons, curved surfaces, etc.
Today I learned that version 3.0 of the OBJ format may include lines like this:
csh <command>
Executes the requested UNIX <command>.
Sigh. Have we learned nothing since the Morris Internet Worm?

Wasn't is an established precedent in the US that contents created by machine were not copyrightable/patentable?

But actually it is both! The signals are electric potential waves that are fueled by chemical reactions and trigger chemical reactions...

What is the proper general term for someone who is bent on imposing their *religious* beliefs on those who do not share them? Like the Taliban, Iran's Revolutionary Guard, the Spanish Conquistadores, ...

Never have I ever understood the rules of American football.
(I barely learned /some/ of the rules of baseball when my kids were going through the Baseball With The Parents Watching rite of passage, but promptly forgot them as soon as that brief period was over.)

The deletion mechanism of Wikipedia must be the main cause of editor burnout. There is a clique of editors who get their kicks by bossing other editors and deleting their work, rather than creating or improving articles. Instead of discussing a proposed deletion on the article's talk page, they have their own corner of Wikpedia - the "Articles for Deletion" (AfD) page -- which is usually frequented only by them...

Does not look like Trump or Sanders. Biden, perhaps?

Back in high school I had an exceptionally lazy teacher who let the students grade their own exams.
When did the FAA start delegating the certification to Boeing?

I didn't care for the ability to block generic users, because I had long stopped looking at my timeline. I have been checking only my "Notifications", which has been showing only a couple replies or mentions per day.
But I had to block a couple hundred HEX fanatics because they kept replying to my messages with insults and HEX hype, which hogged my "Notifications".
Does that new "improvement" mean that all those HEX douchebags will reappear on my Notifications?

Don't trust the Wikipedia article. The definition of "mole" was changed in 2010 and some editors apparently haven't realized that yet. Now the Avogadro number is an exact number, essentially adimensional like pi or 360 degrees per turn. No longer a "physical constant".

But hopefully a significant fraction of those neofascists are superficial, created by the right-wing media, satanic preachers, and GOP rhetoric. They might be "cured", or at least made less radical, if only those sources of poison could be removed...

Debates should be mandatory, for all elected posts -- with unedited videos freely available from gov sites.
Ads on any media, on the other hand, should be strictly prohibited.
