Comment Re:Trade mark vs. copyright (Score 2) 35

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.

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.

You misunderstand the Maggots. They do not care about history or the Constitution. Their documents come from the Project 2025 crowd. They have a document that explains how the gov. can use ICE to invade cities and then invite in the U.S. military. In short, martial law. And its author was Pete Hegseth's brother; Hegseth is our FOX Pentagon Presenter, Now think about L.A., Wash. D.C., and Memphis, and the threats to Chicago. It is already happening.

There is no reasoning with these folks, they do not share any of the ideals upon which America was founded, unless you include slavery as one of them. So no plea for common ground is going to be accepted by them, there is no common ground they like.

Most of us have no basis for evaluating the quality of kids education.

I grew up under the (basically) Soviet education system. I can tell that it's waaaaay better than the average K-12.

One easy fix? Have a high stakes gaokao-style exam for the US students. SAT/ACT are about as tough as a wad of toilet paper.
