It's Dr. Manhattan from The Watchmen I believe. I could be wrong though since it's been decades since I last read it.

True, but the consensus among legal scholars is that it's not a binding precedent. I don't remember the reasoning behind it.

There are a lot of people in this thread who became legal experts by passing the Reddit bar exam, or something of equally imaginary significance.

You are quite simply mistaken.

Yeah I'll totally get on that.

You can find what the manufacturer recommends for your make and model in your owners manual or you can look it up online. It's never 3k miles and is almost always something like 6-8k miles, with increased frequency as the vehicle ages. Older vehicles frequently burn more oil so you might want to check your levels more often if you use one as a daily driver.

Supply is definitely part of the problem. I'm not familiar with a single expert who claims otherwise.

No, that's only one of a much larger suite of factors.

In a word the answer is cost, or economic viability. Local papers can't operate for free, even strictly online. It costs money to hire and maintain a functional staff of college-educated reporters and editors who are willing to live and work in small towns and rural communities.

Without classified ads/advertising, a physical subscription base and real newsstand sales, where is the money supposed to come from?

The answer is that it's not there at all, and that's why local news has basically died over the course of the last two decades.

If you can think of a new workable revenue model for local news, by all means please do tell. The entire nation is screaming for a solution, though many of us may not know it.

Agreed. That said, I am uncomfortable with the idea that policing language is the correct or only solution to the problem.

Fully agree. Unfortunately we are a very small minority.

That's an unwarranted assumption. It's perfectly possible that they are already familiar with your arguments and are uninterested in relitigating the issue with idiots. Certainly that would be my position.

Why would anyone give a fuck about their "image" on an anonymous Internet forum? Honest question.

I'm not sure that it's as "quiet" as OP thinks it is.

Fortunately the relevant authorities are well-aware of the threat.

The field of computer science decided what AI is. It has a very specific set of meanings and some rando on the Internet isn't going to upend decades of usage just because it doesn't fit their idea of what constitutes AI or because they think it's a marketing gimmick.

It's not. It's a very specific field in computer science that's been worked on since the 1950s at least.

This is because the Internet killed journalism's revenue model. In the past a big metro daily had three main revenue streams; subscriptions, newsstand sales and classifieds/advertising. Newsstand sales is the only leg that didn't get gutted by the internet, so in order to keep it viable, they have to charge more than they used to, but even then, it's just not really cost efficient and many major metro dailies no longer print a hard copy version.

One problem with journalism is that since everyone consumes it in one way or another, everyone imagines that they have an informed opinion about it, but unless you went to j-school and/or have worked in the field, you probably don't.

That's caused by leaving a gap though, not by the rain guards themselves. You aren't really answering the question.

Meritocracy in the US is almost entirely a myth, outside of a few sports.

Free will as it's popularly understood doesn't actually exist.

Most shoes are bad for us and cause injuries over the course of our lives .
