Nobody is respecting nobody's patents.
So everyone is respecting everyone's patents?
US patent office grants patents for trivial things that everyone does.
I always remember seeing something several years ago about a patent for a tire swing. As in tying a rope to a tree branch and tire.

In the UK they have had to keep the free school meals going for children not going to school because otherwise their parents couldn't afford to feed them properly.
As far as I know, most schools in America are doing this too. Or at least tons of ones I've seen. I guess I can't speak for all 50 states, though.

I think it was posted here because many Slashdotters will get in to a big fight over Brexit for no reason.
But yeah. I don't see any legitimate reason to post this article. Maybe next we should post about a celebrity getting it, and how they are sitting on a $1,000,000 couch while waiting to recover?

That depends on what your definition of "is" is.

Yeah, I saw it too. I thought he had just heard the words and said what he heard. I don't think he understood.... but I also don't think he was saying she had physically scrubbed the emails away with liquid bleach, but that seemed to be the Snopes reaction.
I just thought it super weird because they normally seemed to research and look through thins when discussing legends or fake stuff online..... whereas this was just "no she did not clean her computer with bleach that wouldn't' delete emails!". I don't remember exactly what it was, just that it was incredibly stupid and made no sense that it was part of their fact checking to prove his lying.

My wife is a teacher and has been telling me how everyone is saying stuff about how nothing should be graded OR REQUIRED and that the students should just get passed. They say the students are not all in the same equal environment, so it's an equity issue and they should not be affected by it.
So since some kids may be in a less good position.... No one should learn because it would be unfair to those who might learn less? Great future we have coming. Then again everything in school is looking more and more fucking awful every day from what I've been hearing. The IEP shit is going to ruin everyone from being able to survive in the real world. Stuff like "He has trouble focusing so he shouldn't be allowed to test with more than 6 students around," and such.
