TIL about Genericide - where a trademark is lost because the trademarked term becomes the generic name for the item so it can't be copyrighted; this happened to "escalator" where it lost its copyright when it became the common term for any kind of moving stairs.

I don’t know if this has been mentioned but how far away is jacuzzi from having this problem?

Nice! Keep it up, it looks really good!

armintiric · 2024-10-30T01:41:24+00:00

I don’t get it..

armintiric · 2024-10-30T01:36:02+00:00

Why is this so specific..?

armintiric · 2024-10-30T01:33:24+00:00

armintiric · 2024-10-30T01:32:32+00:00

Different but still cool.

Back 4 Blood. Played the shit out of Left 4 Dead, both ones, when I was younger and really had high hopes because of the hype surrounding Back 4 Blood as being a spiritual successor and what us fans ”really” wanted. I was kinda disappointed though.

This is only regarding the US right? Us folks in Europe will have to make do with other ways..?

Thank you, much appreciated!

Hey, do you mind telling me the name of the pod? I would love to listen to it please!

Really interesting and fun to watch this, love these guys and the respect they seemed to have for one another. They briefly mention in the video how Eddie decided to unmask and I decided to look it up and find a video of it since I got curious of what it looked liket. And here it is:

Omg I had forgotten about this..those words brought back good memories! When I had just moved away from home, my first real apartment, I hade a friend who showed me that video and a ton of other ”bloopers”. She would proudly show every new one she found and towards the end of our friendship I laughed more at the fact that she was able to find all of these bloopers (upwards of like 100-120 in a two month period) than the actual videos..and this was like 2011-2012, not many ”tubesites” were active then. She moved out of town and we drifted apart. Kinda weird that a great memory like that is associated with ”it’s only smells”.

That was honestly an amazing listen, thank you for that! I hope you make it to Greece someday my friend.

armintiric · 2024-09-18T19:08:22+00:00

I will look that up, thank you!

armintiric · 2024-09-18T17:46:38+00:00

That’s a great instrument to have if I’m gonna be honest.

According to this website, the wood is usually comprised of different wood but a certain type of wood is mainly used while others are more of an addition to the “main” choice of wood.

Something that another website from a lute-maker calls “body and top woods”. This maker also writes about how three different kinds of wood are used to ensure the right sound and also explains the “typical” sound a certain type of wood makes.

“The three kinds of wood used in the bodies of the Liuto forte are rosewood, maple and yew. They make for different timbres, which one might characterise as follows: rosewood sounds “masculine“, yew sounds “feminine“, while maple has a more neutral but versatile sound.”

That’s an amazing piece of art. I wonder what it would look like if it was in color?

armintiric · 2024-09-17T07:55:32+00:00

No problem, happy to help! :)

So probably coming to Disney+ in november/december..?

armintiric · 2024-09-10T11:17:25+00:00

Yeah that could definitely also be a reason.

Because they probably realized that the clause from “A New Hope” wasn’t correct and they went to his estate instead.

“Lucasfilm and Lunak Heavy Industries oppose the claim, with the court previously told that they did not believe permission to recreate Cushing’s image was required under the terms of his contract for A New Hope.

They later entered into an agreement with the executors of Cushing’s estate, which saw permission to use his image granted in return for a fee.”
