Elvis is alive and well. He lives in the next town over from me. I see him down at the general store time to time. He moved here to get away from all the glitz. Very nice guy.

It is way past time to end all patents.
Ideas are a dime a dozen.
I have ten before breakfast and at least one is great.
I invent things. I don't patent it, I implement.
Time to end all patents.

In trains and busses you look at other people.

"$3.5 trillion ($3,500,000,000,000) in value has been wiped out by falling prices"

That wasn't real money. Stocks are imaginary. The losses are not real. It's just a game.

And you're abusive. Is this because you think you're anonymous? You're not actually - follow the legal actions and weep.

Your geography is odd. The northeast does not include the Rust Belt nor Detroit, etc.

Your economics are even stranger.

But then you're an anonymous coward so what more can we expect.

Yes, that was rather my point. If you go to a commercial smokehouse company who smokes bacon, hams, hocks, trotters, etc you will find they have a box with similar brains that computer controls all the details and has recipes for different products.

I've read about them a lot, studied them in situ and am working on building one for our on-farm smokehouse. What they hype in the article is quite familiar and not particularly novel. This is just media hype. PR.

This is much like a commercial meat smoker. They have all of these features. They're completely automated. It's how we're makin' bacon in the modern day.

None of this needs to be expensive and it shows that you are actively using it. Then if someone sues you for it you can easily defend yourself and sue back for damages.

"The bill covers posts that are racist, sexist, or show religious intolerance, along with hassling people over disability or sexual orientation."

That doesn't go far enough. Some trolls harass over other things. Trolling and stalking need to be clamped down on.

Will the last person to leave Chicago please turn off the lights?

You are walking along the sidewalk and a piano drops on your head killing you. The dropper of the piano is responsible, not you, not the maker of the piano.

You are walking along the sidewalk and come to a construction zone, step inside ignoring the warnings and fool around. A piano drops on your head and kills you. You are responsible. You were an idiot. You have been eliminated from the race. Game over.

You jump out of a skyscraper and land on your head on a piano. You die. The physics were the same. The fault was yours. You are liable for any damages to the piano, the workers moving the piano, emotional trauma to the innocent bystanders, etc. Game over, again, for you.

Too bad Matt Patches can't learn to communicate elegantly rather than using foul language. He has no credibility as a result. Ignored.

You seem very depressed.
You have a pattern of negative posts.
Would you like to talk about it?
Maybe Dr. Eliza v3.0 can help.

TracFone is great for what it does. It allows us to have a simple emergency phone in our vehicle. Nothing fancy. Cheap fixed cost annual plan. Easy. It cost us about $100/year. The phones are essentially free. ($0 to $19). If the phone gets lost you call up TracFone and they transfer the minutes to another phone. Easy-peasy. We've had ours for about a decade.
