Trademark means that they can't use Mickey Mouse in a way that would confuse people into thinking they are Disney.

You are legally allowed to use someone's trademark. For example, the word "Boston" is trademarked, but we can use it. We can use the word Pentium, and even say "Pentium sux", but you can't fill a box with AMD chips and use the Pentium logo to convince people it's from Intel.

Is the world is more complex than your childish understanding of it. Also Trump fucks kids.

In general democrat-run states have better schools. There is however several factors that make it tough for them to be perfect. For one thing there is still a little bit of the old nastiness involved in funding schools through property taxes. And is a little bit of the old white flight and other bits of nastiness.

Now the Democrats could fix a lot of that but they don't generally get supermajorities they get small majorities and here in america, and I get it wherever country you're from you don't understand this, but we set up our system to make it very very hard for regular working people to improve their lives by requiring super majorities for just about everything so that the wealthy land owning elites (corporate nowadays but when the shit was set up they were landowning) could effectively exercise veto power and that the regular rank and file citizens would need a super majority in order to override The veto of the ruling elites.

This means the Republican party can and does sabotage anything the Democrats try to do even in places where the Democrats are technically in charge. Because the word technically is doing a lot of work there.

This is before we talk about the effects of automation and process improvement on middle class jobs and the tax base but I think that's probably a bit over your head.

I don't think you actually want to learn but if you ever do look up a book called The People's History of the United States. You have been lied to your whole life. Also look up newt Gingrich and the contract with America.

Or if you are you don't know our history. They started slashing the funding and all the other really nasty right wing shit after Barry Goldwater lost in the mid 1960s. That's when they figured out they could trade racism and bigotry for economic gains.

You're right we don't each get our own truth. The reality is that this is been going on for decades.

Donald Trump is the culmination of 50 years of right wing extremism and a slow descent into fascism and dictatorship.

It's like boiling a frog only the frog is actually smart enough to jump out of the fucking water.

And yeah orange man bad. He fucks kids. Generally speaking somebody who fucks kids is pretty bad to me but your mileage may vary.

Is from property taxes. Like a lot of things it goes back to classism and racism. It's a way for rich people and white people to avoid paying for the poors and/or minorities to have school.

The other 38% of your funding comes from state level and federal money. That money is there very specifically to try to correct what's wrong with using property taxes to fund schools.

As an added bonus it maintains the suburbs that do not have a large enough tax base to fund their schools.

I am guessing though that you are not in a very well-off School district because the better ones with more money have plenty of supplies paid for by the district. Better food in the cafeteria too.

It's not a scam but it is a little bit of nastiness leftover from darker times.

"Payable on delivery."

It makes sense. Rockets are heavy, that's why they are expensive. Having helium 3 will make the rockets lighter (since helium is lighter than air) allowing the rockets to float to the moon at a much cheaper price point than with solid fuel.

If NASA had thought of this, they could have gone to the moon much more cheaply. Typical government waste.

That's what I thought: you are making things up and wishing they were true. Worst kind of idiot.

If you want performance, you choose C. That's what the data shows.

People like you don't want to use Rust, they want other people to use Rust.

Hopefully these bombs remain historical artifacts.

It did, in fact, make the news: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/wo...

That's because you don't know how to use a search engine and look at benchmarks.

Seriously, think before you post.

War is awful, but, that doesn't remove the necessity of having weapons. And a military.

The threats are real, whether we approve of them or not. If we did not develop weapons, we would be wiped out by those who did. It's an unhappy truth, but a truth nonetheless.

There is precisely zero obligation on your part to participate in the development of weapons. That's what freedom is all about. But even so, ensuring the ongoing survival of ones' people is hardly a waste of time.

Which exploits are you talking about here?

What I'm saying is, you're a liar.

That is not Utopian, according to you?

Supernovae can produce gamma ray bursts, and gamma ray bursts can wipe out humanity (and most other surface life on Earth).

So, I guess, fingers crossed?
