I think step 2 should be obtaining a license that can be revoked

The “sphincters” are all valves, they don’t care what goes through. They aren’t there to keep stomach acid from passing. The reason stomach acids don’t make it to your poop is the reason stated above. Acid gets neutralized as soon as you hit the duodenum. Digestion is extremely complex. By the time food reaches the rectum, it’s gone through 15+ feet of tubing and several complex chemical reaction to be come the substance we all know and love.. poop

There is also fat and plaque buildup on your blood vessels over time which makes the same if not more blood have to move through tighter vessels

As well as a strong correlation with atherosclerosis causing potential high blood pressure

Doesn’t really inspire confidence after proceeding to be getting called under monetized, hopefully enough pushback they overhaul the draft

I'm not actually sure. You're right, it's kinda vague.

The relevant part of the OGL 1.1 draft document is as follows:

> X. OTHER PRODUCTS. Sometimes, great minds think alike. We can’t and won’t cancel products out of fear that they’d be > seen as “similar to” Licensed Works. Therefore: > > A. You agree that nothing prohibits Us from developing, distributing, selling, or promoting something that is > substantially similar to a Licensed Work. > > B. You own the new and original content You create. You agree to give Us a nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, > worldwide, sub-licensable, royalty-free license to use that content for any purpose.

Nothing specifically says they will act as you suggest, but neither does it specifically prohibit them. So I guess someone's conclusion would depend on how they feel about WOTC as a company, in this case.

So I guess the proper question to ask is, would be the scenario I suggest be possible under that ToS?

I did note that it seemed to be quite vague, intentionally or even unintentionally

Ill do my best, haven't been into this stuff in years, but now that my boys are old enough to play magic, im following this.

So, the creators of D&D came up with the OGL (Open game license) at some.point to deal.with licensing type stuff (very broad definition cuz im foggy on the ins and outs of it, but I know some of it relates to fan made stuff too, somehow). The OGL allegedly is an unbreakable and unchangeable contract, written in a very binding way, etc. D&D has operated and released under OGL 1.0 with everyone happy for who knows how long...

Then wizards of the coast (makers of magic the gathering) buys TSR or whatever company owned D&D at the time, Hasbro acquires WotC, and corporate fuckery begins. Margins, profitability, whatever. And cue to the recent drama...

WotC sent out an email/letter telling of a new business shift (including a major push to an online subscription type model) and either news of a new license or a copy of a new license that they would publish and release material under going forward. The new license would seemingly rescind OGL or at least open the door to modification of the unbreakable contract, or call in to question its validity... and since none of the creators are owners anymore they probably figured it'd be easy... But you know nerds.

After the immediate backlash and most people seeming pretty ok with trying a new system and boycotting the fucking joke that D&D is to the people who own it, wizards walked back their email or whatever and tried to say it was just being put out there as a draft, and was sent out to whoever they sent it to for thoughts and ideas. Not sure anyone buys this.

> effectively lets them take and market any ideas

The purpose of the back-licensing was to ensure that WOTC couldn't get bogged down with nuisance lawsuits if they happened to independently come up with something similar to what a licensee did. It was never anything so nefarious as "ha ha we 0wn all j00r content now."

You, and most other multicellular creatures, have a heart that pumps blood around your body. This heart is made up of lots of heart cells that can contract when electricity is applied but also make a small amount of their own. A collection of heart cells will sync up and start beating in unison

If electricity flows through your heart it can muck up the signals causing the cells not to beat in the right sequence and either beat erratically or just stop it. This results in no blood flowing around your body and kills you

Small things don't have a heart, they're just a little fluid sack. You could hit them with enough electricity to break down their proteins but you'll have boiled the water inside them first and killed them that way

Most types of media come with what's called a "license." It basically outlines what you are, and aren't allowed to do with it i.e. "You're allowed to watch this DVD, but you are not allowed to copy it." Things get a little trickier when the thing that has the license allows you to make things with it. Software like Photoshop has a license saying "You can use this software, you can't copy it, but anything you make with it is yours."

Some videogames don't allow you to make anything using the game, so things like machinima and Let's Plays are technically against the rules. Nintendo used to have super tight restrictions on what content could be made using their games, but I think they might have loosened up in recent years.

This is where D&D's license comes in. When it was released, it was released with a "Do whatever the fuck you want," license, which was great for players and content creators both since there were basically no restrictions on the stories you could tell, or how you wanted to release those stories. Recently though, the company that makes D&D tried to change that license to basically restrict what people could do with the game and try to put the company in control (especially financial control) over what content people made with it. They backpedaled soon after though, so it's hopefully water under the bridge at this point.

It is often used in calibrating certain radiation-detecting equipment, like Geiger counters. They are useful in mining, for detecting any possible radiation in an area or ore sample. That would explain the need for only a small amount.

There’s some good YouTube videos of it but essentially they said it’s under monetized and put out an intentionally vague and very self serving change to the TOS that effectively lets them take and market any ideas as well as a share of profits from any related content (above an amount?).

The games long and large success seems widely attributed to the fact that the business model was so open and accepting to fan content and this current iteration appears to be the exact opposite.

That’s a non D&D players understanding of where things are at now, correct as needed

Think of it like an x ray for rock. We expose a radioactive capsule and detect the reflected radiation. Since radiation can travel through solid objects we can use it to determine the relative density of rocks in a certain area which can help identify different minerals. Rocks are much denser than human flesh obviously. So the quick exposure we get from a medical x ray would be too short. Usually intervals of around 60 seconds are needed for the device to get a clear picture.

For the police who patrol the street, each city has laws deciding on the qualifications. The only way things will change is if a municipal party senses that they will win or lose an election if they stand on the wrong side of police reform.

State troopers are hired by each individual state, the same principle applies but at another kind of election, probably governor. FBI, CIA, DEA, ICE are federal police, you'd need the democrats or republicans to think they'll lose an election if they don't reform police accountability laws.

Politicians often have many ways to distract the few people who actually vote in American elections, you'd have a better chance if people were more politically mindful, and if more people voted. Complaining for 4 years then voting automatically for the same party every election basically changes nothing, and that;s why they invented wedge politics.

As I was taught, the reason is that pot has a natural element that lowers blood sugar. As your blood sugar goes down, your body's natural response is to get hungry...so...

Makes sense, talking to a friend about I was told everybody has it, was wondering if there are specifics of what triggers it, specially in moments that don’t seem to fit in

Thank you, this is helpful!

This is correct for most uses however as I understand it aerospace applications always require virgin (ie not recycled) aluminum because during the recycling process a small amount of iron will contaminate it and because iron is soluble in melted aluminum is practically impossible to remove. This is not a problem for aluminum cans and most other uses but for aerospace applications that use very high-grade aluminum this is not acceptable.

Aluminum is one of the few things it is 100% unquestionably better to recycle.

For a jurisdictional boundary the commonly accepted point is the Karman Line 100 kilometers above sea level. The idea is that manmade objects above that line are spacecraft and certain agreements apply to them, and below that are aircraft and different agreements (like territorial and airspace sovereignty) apply to them.

From a more sciency answer, the atmosphere thins out and there is a measure where they say it's not really atmosphere anymore. However, it is not uniform, in that kind of like waves on the sea, the "surface" of the atmosphere isn't flat but fluctuates.
