No president ever stands up and says "I take the blame for what my predecessor did." But they are all quite whiling to take credit for things that they had no hand in.

I never said I attributed anything 'good or bad' to Biden or even Trump in my statement. I said presidents take credit or blame by the public for things that were beyond their control.

Historically, presidents take credit and the blame for things they didn't do. Economic policy is one example. They actual economic changes take time to really be felt on main street. Very often those changes occur just before they take office or after they leave.

And despite presidential elections being the SB and WS all tied into one competition, the real path to controlling the government is through the house and senate. But THOSE elections aren't as cool.

Not an IP lawyer, (those people are EXPENSIVE), It's perhaps less about the idea than it is about the process to get there. And yes the patent office does make mistakes at times. It's just expensive and hard to correct those mistakes because it generally takes a judge to do so. And I'm willing to bet this patent is valid in the EU also due reciprocity agreements and trade deals. It would take an EU judge to invalidate the patent, which would cost as much as doing so in the US.

One thing that I have learned over the years is that no patent is actually really valid until a judge bangs a gavel and says yea or nay to the patent, (I've held a couple). Until then, it pretty much just a piece of ass-wipe paper you can wavy around and hopefully scare off others that don't have the money or want to spend the money to challenge the patent.

Oh I've seen pictures of them. Just haven't seen one in the real world nor seen one tossed on the ground. I do suspect they just aren't popular around me. Smokers around here probably prefer real cigarettes.

That seems like a "you" problem at the polls in your state. Not an issue here.

I live closer to Winnipeg than I do to my state capital. We are often referred to as "Canada Lite" by other states.

I had that misfortune when I was teaching math at my local school for 4 years.

I probably spend more time you side than you do. I just mostly do it in a forest.

I wouldn't claim to be all that enamored of humans as a rule. But I'm not a hermit in the classic sense.

Yeah, I live in legal weed state. The nearest dispensary is a mere 20 miles away. I'm not even sure they sell vapes. Flower and edibles for sure, but I have no idea if they sell vapes. (I've never been there-- weed just ain't my thing). But I still don't see any used ones tossed out. Maybe we are just neater people here and don't litter.

Then you need to find a different planet.

 

After 5 years my trusty old textured plate is wearing out and I'm in the market for something new. I print PLA, PETG, ABS, and TPU. There are so many choices now and I need some guidance!
