I have 0 sympathy for the studios/distributors but they also did not pay the licensing fees.

As time goes on, we should be simplifying laws, not creating more. The reductionist view is that content should be freely available as long as the IP isn't being developed/marketed still. And in order to prevent practices like Disney's vaulting we need a developed IP rotation of every X years to prevent IP hoarding. At it's root copyright law is rooted in greed, after you are done with the initial release, it just becomes part of everyone's culture.

As the other user stated it's for going to large events (corporate comicon). What they failed to mention is that it's also considered a safety issue to some extent. It also labels you as a tourist and likely shows that you are carrying spending money. It's relevant in medium sized cities, but larger ones the tourism is massive income and the locals know there will be consequences for acting out.

I tried watching the Jetsons last year and it was pretty painful. The story moved really slow, the mother was claiming to be overworked pressing a button. Everything was a mildly linear improvement from the 1950s and it had very old ideas. It did not age well

Another user was demanding 4x salary for in office, I would consider a 20% pay bump per in office day a reasonable request that likely results in a remote contract. It's essentially saying it will cost you double to make me come in for that day.

Former lurker and exclusive mobile user, I'm mildly surprised you guys have profile pictures; but I suppose my investment is low.

Thanks for the effort! I assume the exchange guy will have a strong opinion but I do appreciate it!

Iirc in the Netflix documentary: that was a marketing gimmick to appear playful and improve their image since ph is the public face of mind geek.

Mind if I ask a work question? I purchased a cannister of CO2 for a kitchen appliance, but have another project requiring nitrogen. Are there any cleaning procedures or vacuum seal requirements before changing gases to prevent contaimination/interaction?

I got my license at 18 before I moved out, but my parents made the entire ordeal a nightmare. It was more anxiety than it was worth to get my required miles in with them as the instructor. People living in large cities often never get the opportunity, it's high stress and taxis are readily available. Car ownership is expensive and public transportation is available, as well as biking. In uni I taught several Asian students how to drive because countries like Japan often have expensive training programs, and insurance is painful for testers. European cities are often designed for micro mobility and bikes and smart cars are preferred just because of size.
