Fair. But in some countries, the copyright clock starts with the first publication in that territory. Who knows what the rules are in some faraway Pacific island atoll? If the clock starts at first publication, and they’re just getting Mickey Mouse this year, it could be a centurybefore it’s public domain there.

OK, wait. While you’re absolutely correct that their positions in the car prove a single bullet fired from the sixth floor of the school book depository would create all the necessary wounds in a straight line path... Why in God’s name would the president’s limo contain a self-destruct device?

ALSO! Note that terms like “public domain” aren’t global. A work can be “public domain” in one country, but still under copyright under another nation’s laws. So if you publish your Mrs. Dalloway fanfic, you’re clear in the US but readers in other countries might not get to see it. You’ll likely still need permission…

Saw a guy here in LA miss his exit, pull over to the shoulder, then reverse back down the freeway in rush hour traffic for over 1/4 of a mile.

Same way he started off in Single A?

If that’s the case, it’s on the Autopilot to see what’s happening in those lighting conditions. If we’re gonna trust self-driving cars, they gotta work in glare.

Exactly what I see, looks like confusing lane markings. If that’s a fault of the light, well, then Tesla’s Autopilot needs a better way of seeing those kind of road illusions.

Why don’t we build the road out of rubber, and just drive on the rims? That would work, right?

Why are the refs blowing the whistle and sending the team back to the bench?

Why are there no penalties for the false advertising? Two cases in the article have a car advertised at $6k and then the person shows up and the car is suddenly $12k or higher. Why isn’t that being addressed?

With no third baseman to keep him honest, though. I mean, he could take a 50 foot lead, more than halfway to home. Who’s the pitcher going to throw to that he can’t beat back to the bag in a pickoff?

“Why is the national grammar rodeo in another country?”

Assuming it lasted for 27 rounds like this one, and there are 3 possible answers per round, you need 7,625,597,484,987 players.

There were two, maybe three, good episodes, and they were surrounded by a lot of dumb crap. And then followed by some tree-mendous shite.

Obviously starting out of the blocks gave him the boost he needed to pull away

My grocery store is undercutting Blue Apron as well by offering their own take-home meal kits. I think it’s only a matter of time, Blue Apron won’t be in business much longer.

Back in the 90s, the traffic lights in my medium-sized college city used to have special sensors on them to turn green when an emergency vehicle approached. Apparently a special strobe pattern (possibly in the infrared?) could trigger greens to give fire & rescue a clear path to where they needed to be.

Please explain this to Hamilton at the sister site:

If basketball doesn’t work out, he can definitely be an understudy to Doug Jones.
