Maybe I’m dumb, but I’m in agreement. I feel like that would’ve killed in the theater.

Forget the thread, the spoilers are in the fucking article title. How exactly is a regular reader of this site supposed to avoid that? It’s awful. And it isn’t even in a morning spoilers section. And this isn’t the first time either that this author has done that. And it’s also a major major major plot spoiler…

Book 7 was published nearly 10 years ago.

No one really answered your question in respect to patents so I will help. The government explicitly allows the receiver of research funds to pursue an exclusive patent and monetize their discovery or patent in their own name, but the government is granted a licence to “practice” the patent in their own research and…

It’s an investment without direct returns. Say you spend $200 million on a drug that helps 2 million people live (and work, and pay taxes) ten years longer. If each of those people contributes $10/year more to society, it’s paid for itself.

Why do you fucking idiots insist this is Berniebros problems? Yes, everyone should have just voted for an extraordinarily corrupt politician. God damn those fucking people who didn’t vote for Hilary, it’s certainly not Hilaries fault that she burned her own campaign to the ground, that she threw bernie under the bus…

Scorpion, meet frog!

Hey, now. Think of it from the pilot’s point of view. It’s not like he has the opportunity to indulge his minority abuse fetish at home with becky, and the company is starting to get wise to his ‘activities’ down in Malaysia, so the choke-an-asian-prostitute-weekends are all but done for.
