Spare batteries are pretty key.
Cold poptarts are largely flavorless. This may be an advantage depending on your preferences and the specific type.

Presumably a poptart eaten still frozen would be nothing but texture.

You bite into a frosted poptart with candy filling at room temp and you can’t taste anything?

Did you not unwrap it?

elon's obsession with x reminds me of this guy who tried to claim legal ownership of the word 'edge' in any context as regards computers or software for decades

quote:

During the trial, Langdell claimed he invented the Edge logo in 1991, prior to the magazine's launch in 1993, and submitted a floppy disk from 1991 containing a file with the logo. However, Future's expert found the disk's contents were created using Windows 95.[85] The judge summarized: "Dr Langdell concocted disk 1 in support of his claim that he had invented the EDGE logo in 1991. When this was exposed by the claimant's expert he constructed an elaborate explanation and created disk 3, having learned from the Report how to avoid the mistakes he made the first time."[86]

quote:

In 2001, Edge Games sought revocation of Namco's United Kingdom trademark "Soul Edge" (for the arcade game Soul Edge) for reasons including an alleged similarity between the "Edge" and "Soul Edge" marks. The opposition failed on all grounds. Nevertheless, Namco had already decided to use the name Soul Blade for the PlayStation version in the United States and Europe to avoid potential complications, with the name Soulcalibur being used on all sequels for the same reason.[91]

quote:

In 2014, Edge Games began a trademark case against the game peripherals company Razer Inc., regarding its Razer Edge gaming tablets. Edge Games filed an application for "SL8" in tablets in 2012, serial number 85704825, indicating that it would sell Windows 8 tablets at some point.[106] The application was eventually denied.[107] Langdell's subsequent attempts to trademark hardware under the "Edge PC" name were granted, along with "Edge Games," and "Edge Gaming PC" in 2019 and 2020.[108]

and the piece de resistance:

quote:

Edge Games filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against EA over the "Mirror's Edge" mark in June 2010.[71][72] Almost a year later, and after a case in the UK court against Future, Langdell claimed that Edge Games filed the lawsuit against EA at the insistence of its trademark partner Future Publishing.[54][73] Edge Games charged EA with engaging in willful infringement and unfair competition, and requested damages and a court injunction against further infringement.[72] EA responded with a counterclaim to cancel Edge Games' trademarks, and argued that Edge Games obtained the trademarks based on fraudulent representations to the USPTO including doctored submissions of magazine covers and game boxes.[74][75] EA added that the trademarks had not been in commercial use at the time of registration.[74][75] The judge denied Edge Games' request for an injunction in October 2010,[76] stating that Edge Games had abandoned use of its marks, misrepresented its case to the USPTO,[76][77] and not shown their use of the trademarks to "legitimately extend beyond trolling various gaming-related industries for licensing opportunities."[78][79]

EA and Edge Games reached a settlement in early October,[77][80] where Edge Games would surrender the trademarks "edge" (registered twice), "cutting edge", "the edge", and "gamer's edge".[81] No damages were awarded to EA or Edge Games, and each would pay their own legal fees.[82] The settlement stipulated that neither party admitted fault or wrongdoing and that no party was found guilty of wrongdoing.[81][82] On October 10, 2010, it was reported that the settlement had been approved by the judge, and a final order had been issued.[81][82] The USPTO cancelled the five "Edge" trademarks on April 9, 2013.[83][84]

Have any news organizations interviewed any of the companies who still advertise with X to find out what the gently caress they're still thinking?

I suddenly realized that I'd never seen Season 6 of Silicon Valley, so I went back and watched the finale of S5 to remind myself what was going on.

And what I had forgotten was that the show makes a significant plot point of how cool and desirable Teslas are, particularly because of "Ludicrous Mode", which figures into the plot as a way to have some characters go very fast.

It reminds me that Elon had to call it "Ludicrous Mode" instead of "Ludicrous Speed" presumably to avoid having to pay royalties to Mel Brooks or whoever. And that's got to gnaw at him lmao
