That just gets me excited to start a fresh new seasoning. Starting from bare metal is a good feeling

Congratulations. You are either a pink smear or pink mist, depending on which direction you end up going.

I thought it was a trick by sign writers who charge by the letter.

The Red Dwarf bit on this is great

Stark made the suit with no help. He doesn’t need a specific suit because he has the skill to invent whatever he may need.

At this point, Peter can’t make himself a suit like that, so if he is nothing without it, he can’t respect the power it brings. But he isn’t nothing without it, which is what Stark is trying to teach him: not to rely on power of others.

I’ve never heard an ad mid-sentence. Surely that’s an error on the podcasters side. Don’t they have to mark the timecodes for ad placements?

That spelling really changes the vibe

I think there’s no hard rules. I think in Australia, with the Dallas Buyers Club fiasco, the judge said a fair compensation for pirating a copy of the film was the price of the DVD, but because the studio were trying to sue a single individual for millions they threw the case out.

As far as know there is no precedent for piracy punishments on individuals. The best they can do is ask your ISP to send you a strongly worded letter.

It’s because she’s got all them teeth and no toothbrush

In case you haven’t realised, the correct word is swab/swabbed. You are being made fun of for swapping the correct word for a different word.

Aliens aren’t evil. They are animals that are being territorial and procreating.

Edit: assuming we are taking about the Alien franchise of aliens.

A lot of people are expressing the sentiment that the government should have exposed and punished them, but quietly kicking out spies is par for the course. When this hits the media it’s generally a bad thing.

Everyone spies on everyone. Everyone knows they are getting spied on. You have to be careful how you respond because you don’t want to escalate. You make it known to the other government that they have been caught and you gently move them on as a show of good will. When your spies are caught abroad breaking laws you want them to do the same for you. Now that this has gone public, India lose face, which could cause future tension. Also, sometimes finding spies on home soil can be useful if you let them think they haven’t been caught.

The average citizen thinks you can use playground rules here, but espionage is all about being subtle.

Have you seen the film Dark Star? Bomb number 20 gets stuck in the release bay with the detonation countdown still running, so they have to spacewalk out and convince the AI not to explode.

I’m not sure how official “copyleft” is, but it reads like the creative commons licence which which falls under copyright.

So yes, one of the advantages, and explicit purposes, of copyright is that you get to maintain control of how your intellectual property is used.

The people who argue against copyright need to understand that one of the functions of copyright is to prevent companies with deep pockets from taking the profits you deserve for your hard work.

Ever heard of Coober Pedy?

Honestly I thought it was longer. The time when I first played it seems like a lifetime ago.
