that's an interesting case because the same people went after Intel years ago and settled out of court, Intel was making arguments that they had given money to the researchers and it was funded by US grants which made the whole thing a little weird. im not really down with patenting work you do on the gov't dime unless the parents can be licensed at a reduced rate or are open in some way

get this: the vast majority of publicly-funded research is behind an infinite series of very expensive paywalls so people can only get scientific information from lovely angelfire websites about morgellon's

im aware, yes. i think there are plenty of legitimate reasons that the system works as it does, but I don't have to be happy about all of the repercussions of it.

iTunes is a lot better on a Mac than Windows. Apple should really split iTunes up into separate things then make them all really good rather than one thing that's kinda ok. idk how it'd work but that's not really my problem

opening a restaurant at all is the huge gamble. once you're paying rent and other fixed costs anyway, serving lunch should be a no-brainer. individual people with mobile kitchens, putting around in trucks that barely pass health inspection, make tons of money serving lunch. if you're already paying for a real kitchen and seating anyway and you can't come up with some mediterranean/thai fusion gluten-free grilled cheese panini cupcake wrap that sells at lunchtime then idk what to tell u

lunch is riskier than dinner

- traffic is difficult to plan for thus difficult to schedule for.
- lunch menu adds extra food costs, prep time, labor costs
- guests expect lunch to be cheap, which means less profit

so no, lunch isnt exactly a no-brainer

bt audio seems buggy in a way I can't quite reproduce reliably - like, sometimes things will sound off because they're coming through the bt source at a lower pitch or play slower or cut out intermittently

most voters would be rightfully incensed (even republican voters) about a massive tax break on repatriations. both parties benefit from the current situation where repatriation holidays occur every so often with cover from both sides and the rest of the time everyone can point at the other side and scream about how terrible they are
