31 U.S. Code 5112 says “No coin issued may bear the image of a living former or current President,”

The good news is this is illegal.

The bad news is Republicans probably don't care.

A notation exists for all sarcastic comments by adding "/s" to the end of the comment. If you don't always take comments at face value then you will risk endorsing horrible ideologies.

Is a ghost a creature? Can you put a ghost in a body and touch it to count?

I've never really had this issue but I wash most things by hand. Pyrex and Anchor are both pretty top quality for their heat resistance and durability, the required equipment to make shaped tempered glass and composites is not common so there is not a lot of competition in this market.

I wonder if it's possible to paint heat resistant silicone over the lines of the cup? But even then they might not adhere to the glass well.

I'm not sure what you're not sure about. Most of your comment is repeating what I said.

Smart protestors, causing all of this ruckus over EU membership. They realize their immediate safety is at risk, here, with war spreading out from the Russia-Ukraine conflict and also with the scaling up of Chinese Military.

If the devs don't give it away for free and the distributors don't give it away for free then you're getting files from a third party which has risks associated. That's literally the only reason not to pirate now.

Also, the Corpos would still have antipiracy methods like DRM and control all print, merch, and other media.

Counter-question: Why would you buy it? Why would they even make it while starving?

Developers get paid now. Turning that into a creator economy reliant on donations is silly.

I admit it is a fun mental excersize to imagine a world where corporations would struggle to monetize something, but I think it's wholly unrealistic given distribution has costs.

If Steam could take and resell your games without paying you anything, they would sell more of your game than you would and all of those sales would be lost revenue for you.
