Hah!

Mostly because I’m not the most competent techie, I’ve been using VLC between my PC and iPhone, for moving “books” around on devices that are very out of date.

Pffftt… coward.

We are social creatures that like stories.

The story that fossil fuels are bad and that electric vehicles with point source environmental consequences that can be mitigated through [insert economics 101 term here] is a good story.

An honest assessment of what it would take for a society to transition from a fossil fuel based to renewable based is only a good story for engineering and math heads.

Fair… I’m pretty sure I was being needlessly evasive/pedantic.

Not everything in a contract would be allowed to be enforced by law… so no.

Try writing a contract that includes voluntary cannibalism, let it get out to the public, and see if the police just let that slide.

Sure there’s words there but are they actually legally actionable? Like something in an EULA that says, we reserve the right to delete this from your hardware if you don’t sent us a cookie every six months. Its there… but it doesn’t matter.

Abuse maybe, but illegal? No.

Its kinda like sending a “cease and desist” letter with a lawyer’s letterhead (usually an empty threat) but with the automoderation system in place about copyrighted works it winds up being up to the person defending themself from the claim to do the work to prove fair use instead of the person making the claim of infringement.

Profitability might not be the issue, neither are supposed to function solely to make a profit. From the linked blog post, referencing an email, it is stated that its costing more than the revenue can support.

From a general internet search:

c(3)'s can’t engage too much (or at all) in legislative stuff but a c(6) can

c(3)'s are supposed to do things to help a group outside of itself while c(6)'s are supposed to exist to support their members

c(6)'s aren’t required to report personal information of a person/entity making a donation to the IRS or public

Found a copy of Transformers: Devastation.

Its a freaking blast.

Fuck… new political compass just made its way into the wild…

Back in my day we’d just huff the gas fumes while we were filling up the car.
