Not The Onion@lemmy.world•United argues 'window seat' does not mean 'seat with a window'English
1·10 months agoI disagree with the ruling because the bone in question was described as “long, thin”. If it was just bone chips, then it wouldn’t have caused the complainant issues. Because of that description I think the liability should (ultimately) be on the party the was responsible for deboning the chicken.
I could be wrong about how liability cases work, but I think the Ohio case should have held the restaurant liable for the complainant’s injury/distress but allow their findings to be carried into a suit from the restaurant against the supplier of the bag of boneless wings.
No deboning process is going to be perfect, but that’s what liability insurance is for. I do think no “long, thin” bones should make it through a reliable deboning process, tho.

38·10 months agoI know you are getting downvoted, but I call the seat furthest from the aisle the “window” seat no matter what is on the “far” side of it.
So, I think it’s entirely possible that United wins this case in front of a judge. If it gets decided by a jury, I’d expect at least one person of the 12 (or so) to insist that “window seat” means there has to be a window.

1·10 months agoI think you may have taken me too seriously, but if so that’s a very dismissive response. I think your reply would be improved by describing at least one (nigh-universal, so it applies to “things” in general) force and saying why it exists.

Why do things fall? What happened to “a body at rest stays at rest”?

12·10 months agoWhile that may contribute to the slipperiness of ice in certain circumstances, we know that ice is still slippery even when the compressive force is unable to melt the ice, even a thin layer. For example, we’ve studied ice at temperatures and pressures where liquid water doesn’t form.

I don’t remember the details exactly, but in the (most common) crystalline arrangements of H20, at the surface/edge of ice the individual molecules don’t have all their crystalline “partners”, so they can still shift around to varying degrees, which makes ice slippery even when none of it can / does melt–all of the molecules are part of at least one crystal.

5·11 months agoI don’t know about those specifics, but I too think that Elmu’s reaction to Vivian’s transition is a large part of his transphobia. I’m pretty sure he’d be a POS anyway, but society not letting him control his progeny really gets him worked up.

Analysis and review are fair uses available to everyone.
military guys claim the govt has complete fair use which I doubt
The military does have fairly broad ability to violate, or even nationalize (and then classify), copyright and patents. Technically they have to justify that with a national security claim, but those are rarely reviewed or rejected. I doubt any of the U.S. armed forces pays for a public performance fee when barracks movie night exceeds 10 individuals, even if the movie is Disney.

27·1 year agoPolicing the speech of other people = authoritarianism, yes.
Copyright is a government-granted (and enforced) monopoly. Under anarchy, no one would benefit from copyright protection, at least not the same way we have it now.
People could voluntarily police their own speech to stay in an association… but I don’t know how/if that would scale.

I don’t believe either the government in general or congress in specific have the blanket ability to ignore copyrights held by others.
