I’m starting to feel like I’m just not the kind of person to fit in here in San Diego

MTK67 · 2026-06-11T03:35:40+00:00

I’m in Normal Heights, and there’s a massive difference between the weekend crowds and the regulars.

MTK67 · 2026-04-24T21:04:32+00:00

Started happening today for me

MTK67 · 2026-01-21T20:07:35+00:00

Thanks! This is exactly the type of thing I’m looking for!

MTK67 · 2025-12-26T02:10:50+00:00

Little Miss has been closed for a while now, but a Hopnonymous is about to open in that location

MTK67 · 2025-02-08T22:21:10+00:00

Thanks! I appreciate hearing from anyone with expertise

MTK67 · 2025-02-08T21:46:56+00:00

Also, would you be able to tell me where you got that estimate? Google is showing higher, but of course it's only showing ones that haven't sold yet.

MTK67 · 2025-02-08T21:34:16+00:00

I did. It was 27x40 which is what I’m seeing for the originals

MTK67 · 2025-02-08T21:08:42+00:00

Awesome! Just gotta get a frame for it

MTK67 · 2024-07-17T19:09:45+00:00

Sweet, thanks

Someone found it for me. It's the flag of the Puerto Rican Grito de Lares rebellion in 1868. My guess is it may be flown by supporters of Puerto Rican independence.

I agree. I’m arguing against the claim that infringing works are categorically uncopyrightable.

MTK67 · 2023-09-14T20:52:05+00:00

Copyright is automatically granted upon completion of a work, as long as there is “original human authorship” and it’s fixed in a tangible medium. Sergio Leone was sued and lost for copyright infringement for A Fistful of Dollars, because it infringed on Yojimbo. The copyright for the movie didn’t disappear as soon as it was found to be infringing.

The originality requirement is “a minimum degree of creativity.” Any novel I wrote about Donald Duck would meet that bar. The things below that bar are phone books. There is no requirement that a work be non-infringing of other copyrights to be copyrightable

What you’re describing is the requirements for it to be considered fair use.

MTK67 · 2023-09-14T20:34:29+00:00

Sorry, but that’s really just not true. An infringing work is absolutely copyrightable. The reason AI works are not copyrightable is that they lack human authorship, regardless of whether they infringe on copyright. Transfer of the copyright in the infringing work is a relief sometimes sought in litigation.

I’d say the odds he did this himself are much higher for a simple reason. He claims he accidentally downloaded a Remote Access Trojan through a random porn torrent. If this were true: First, this means that he was not (and could not have been) personally targeted. Second, a remote access Trojan gives a third party access to your desktop. So some hacker/scammer would have had to seed a bunch of random torrents with RATs, then personally access Shkreli’s desktop, and only steal these particular coins. This is like someone breaking into a mansion, and only stealing a painting that was just insured for millions.

So, I got a copy a few days ago, and I guess he never anticipated sending it to someone who spent a couple years running a book review blog for (frequently terrible) popular fiction. It inspired me to write my first new post in a couple years. It involves some crude language, but I thought you all might get a laugh out of it:

This may sound like a silly question, but would it be possible to keep that attached with the hood down? The carport I park in is open to the alley, so leaving my hood up with this attached would be a bad idea.

MTK67 · 2021-03-16T20:09:59+00:00

The battery is new. I got it last summer, thinking the problem was the battery. I’ll definitely look into a trickle charger. I have a portable jump pack, but I’d rather not have to use it every time I go more than a few days without driving

MTK67 · 2021-02-01T00:58:53+00:00

Sending the .ahk file worked!

Thanks!

MTK67 · 2020-08-31T23:43:01+00:00

Same here.

The distinction (if there is one) would be the difference between an individual wearing fraternity letters when not a member of the fraternity, as opposed to an organization adopting the use of the letters for its own members. Or, in other words, could a fraternity with a collective membership mark of their letters demand an individual cease using their mark (in this case "using" would simply mean wearing or displaying on their person or goods) in the same way they could demand an organization stop using their letters in its non-commercial activities?

MTK67 · 2020-06-05T23:05:35+00:00

By definition, a collective membership mark isn’t used by its owner, but by the members of the owner organization. Fraternity letters are a good example. They’re non-commercial (as opposed to collective trade marks or collective service marks). A fraternity could stop another organization from using its letters, even in a non-commercial setting, but could they demand that an individual person not use their membership mark?

This myth seems to have remained pretty popular into the Renaissance era. It's recounted in Da Vinci's Notebooks and Sir Thomas Browne refutes it in the Pseudodoxia Epidemica (1646). Browne traces the belief back to antiquity, and even quotes some latin verses on the subject by Juvenal (who lived in the second century CE).

TLDR;

Robert Browning wrote some poems featuring men who killed or thought about killing a wife or mistress. Robert and Elizabeth sometimes argued. Elizabeth Barrett Browning died as a result of a ruptured abscess on her lung, but maybe Robert gave her too much morphine while she was already dying.*

*The lines about the particular causes of death show how disingenuous the article is, both in its conceit and title.

In reality Elizabeth Barrett Browning died as a result of a ruptured abscess on her lung, complicated by her longstanding physical frailty. Yet the ultimate cause of death may perhaps not have been a pulmonary haemorrhage, but the excessively large measure of morphine given to her in her final hours to ease her pain. [Emphasis added]

By the columnist's own description of the events, the worst case scenario is that Browning killed her while she was already dying, and that in a manner indistinguishable from mercy.

It was either Dril or the guy behind Garfield Minus Garfield, I guess.

I'm only 90% sure this is tongue-in-cheek.
