You’re welcome! I just ended a relationship with someone a bit manipulative. I wanted to learn more about the patterns I saw so I can get better at spotting them earlier and avoiding them all together. I was looking at borderline traits when some of them seemed a little familiar. Concerned, I looked into them, but this info helped me realize that I’m experiencing cPTSD, not BPD.
I realize you’re joking, but the lyrics most people know (“take me out to the ball game, take me out with the crowd,” etc. ) IS the second verse. The verse following that well-known section is:
Katie Casey saw all the games, Knew the players by their first names; Told the umpire he was wrong, All along good and strong. When the score was just two to two, Katie Casey knew what to do, Just to cheer up the boys she knew, She made the gang sing this song:
Which is then followed by another verse of the well-known part of the song.
Anyone interested in American history should watch Ken Burns Baseball. It’s an excellent documentary series about baseball that’s packed full of fun facts like this. One of my favorite facts I learned was that people sang the Star Spangled Banner at baseball games before it was established as our national anthem. The documentary goes through the history of baseball and how everything that has happened to the sport beautifully depicts everything that has happened in the country’s history through the lens of baseball. For all the good and bad, it’s a great documentary series. 10/10 highly recommend!
Fun fact- Mormons believe that Joseph Smith translated golden plates into the book of Mormon by sticking his head in a hat. For decades they tried to hide this and portrayed artwork with him as translating the golden plates directly, but i think it was a lawsuit that caused them to start portraying artwork correctly and owning up to Joseph Smith being a mad hatter sticking his head in a hat to receive the word of God.
Sounds kind of silly when you think about it like that but they’ll of course tell you it was divinely inspired. Just like when he married a 14 year old by promising her family a spot in the highest degree of heaven.
I never considered Joey Smith getting high offa hat fumes. I just figured he liked the smell of his hair grease or whatever they used for pomade. Fun conjecture to consider tho.
it's a vector recreation of this low-quality gif, which you can't really tell whether it was a gradient or not. but the colors are indeed kinda different and more accurate to an actual rainbow lol
you cannot copyright a drawn apple with a piece bitten off
That's correct, you can not do such. Apple does not litigate its logo with copyright but in trademark disputes. Prepear and Georette are examples of this.
You too can create a logo of an apple with a piece bitten off. It's up to a court to decide if it's coming too close to the Apple trademark, most people want to just avoid that and settle amicably, but if you've got to the pocket change to fight it in court, you can argue that your bitten off apple isn't a trademark infringement.
If you find a company that isn't keen to defend their logo, you can totally get away with it. Apple is on the other end of the spectrum of being someone who will protect their trademarks to the bitter end. Jack Daniels and Disney are two more examples of companies that will legally punch a five dollar start up into a bloody mass over trademarks.

I’m saying that while any specific drawing of a prism is protected by copyright, the general concept isn’t. Drawing a prism, even one that looks almost identical to the one on the album cover, is not restricted. (I’m not sure we actually disagree.)
Kinda interesting at a broad level … that there’s still something to the efficiency of language.
Sure storage is cheap now, but so much of the calculation of the utility of data in modern tech is the presumption of an internet connection and retrieval of information over the network.
With the internet going to shit in various ways, local or decentralised computing is making more sense, at least depending on your priorities and perspective. And so all of a sudden, storage tradeoffs become a bit more meaningful. Do I need all of the pictures and media … or would a simple textual description suffice for most instances with high res media available at a more centralised archive if I’m really interested? A picture is worth 1000 words, but takes a hell of a lot more digital storage space!
The 100Gb version mentioned above does only have thumbnails/lowres pictures, yeah. Better than nothing for some types of articles, but not everything. The true text-only version is actually only ~53Gb though.
