  • Would you claim the second an athlete leaves the field they’re no longer an athlete?

    “Sports” cars are tuned towards their racing counterparts. Auto racing is a sport. We don’t know if that owner does autocross, probably not, but that is classified as a Sports Car regardless of anything else.











  • Imagine if you had a hammer and decided to use it to hit a nail and then someone came along and said “I see you’re using my method to build a house! Pay up!”

    Well, you can’t patent something like that!

    Imagine you open up a game engine, any engine, and decide you need to point to an objective so you decide to use an arrow. A game company says “You’re using our method to identify objectives! Pay up!” and that one is a unique mechanic?

    How long has humanity been using arrows to point to things? How can you patent it just because it’s a digital arrow?



  • This was a movie that I’d seen one day and promptly forgot the name of it. I tried in vain to find out years later. I asked my mom and she had no idea what I was talking about. I asked everyone and no one even knew. I was convinced it was a fever dream or something.

    Until I heard Tech N9ne’s Everybody Move and he said “Falling Down like Michael Douglas” and it was a core memory unlocked and I finally got to watch it again.

    It was every bit as good as I remember.

    Saying the words “Break dancing” and “she creates her own moves [as why she failed]”, to me, proves there’s zero need for that to be an Olympic sport.

    I’ve always kind of detested ‘judged’ sports, not the sports themselves but the idea of judging creative expression on a scale. Like, “We, the panel, have decreed that your moves were not funky fresh. Pop and lock your way to the locker room please.”
