Laser tanks are impractical. What if the enemy wears mirrored shades? That laser goes right back and kills you instead. You don’t want your 100 million dollar tank to be taken out by a pair of Ray-Bans.

Premium drops are random, determined by a formula that takes into account friendship, mood, and daily luck (for ducks and rabbits). There’s no clear cutoff value. More is better, of course.

Make it a habit to check on all of your animals every day. You’ll keep them happy and youl want to see if they produced anything anyway.

The amount of work actually doesn’t matter (except when it does; especially the EU may consider it). The specific wordings might matter but that’s not immediately obvious. A dictionary is at least close enough to mere database that its protected status isn’t automatic. The more selective the dictionary is the more obviously it is protected since the selection process is an expression of creativity.

Fake entries are definitely used in practice, most likely because they move the dictionary from “probably protected but the court would have to decide” to “definitely protected”.

What they actually own the copyright to is the fake entries they added to the dictionary because mere collections of facts aren’t copyrightable.

If that’s how TFTs worked we wouldn’t have vsync settings in games.

Good to know. We initially set that network up well over a decade ago so my knowledge isn’t exactly current.

I wasn’t trying to make the point that he or the Mattachine Society didn’t matter. I merely find it very amusing that after a long and meticulously crafted campaign to make gay people as inoffensive and nonthreatening as possible, the thing that accelerated gay acceptance was when the exact opposite happened and people started showing that they didn’t have to be nonthreatening.

The combination of a quiet composed voice and a loud angry one was more effective than either would’ve been on their own.
