Cancer Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 That, and an RPG dedicated to over-the-top absurdities in levels of action and deliberate inattention to physical realities. You want a vehicle chase between an airship and a streetcar, with the cyberized sentient apes on the streetcar chasing the minions of the ancient Chinese eunuch sorcerors fleeing on the airship? I'm reasonably sure we've done that. Cygnia and Old Man 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Today is the 1 year 'anniversary' of the condo collapse in Surfside, Florida. It is also the day where a $1B settlement was finalized. For such a major settlement, that's fast. And that in itself is satisfying; the system's not completely broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asperion Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 I wonder how long it will be before our common English words disappear into trademark. In the past, I was told that words by themselves cannot be trademarked, but if incorporated into a logo, design, etc then it becomes trademarkable. This is because the word is a component of some larger image, not the image itself. Now it sounds as though the word is all that is needed for the trademark.

From the AP story https://apnews.com/article/sports-education-ohio-scholarships-trademarks-730b748275bddac70547062ffea0b1f8 Quote The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office approved the university’s request Tuesday. The school says it allows Ohio State to control use of “The” on branded products associated with and sold through athletics and collegiate channels, such as T-shirts, baseball caps and hats.
