I want Roland Emmerich to make a movie out of the short story A Pail of Air.

tl;dr/spoiler: ~20 years ago, a black hole passed through the solar system and captured the Earth, dragging it inexorably away from the Sun.

The value of the DNS is that we all use the same one. You can declare independence, but you’d lose out on that value.

“Please” is short for “if it pleases you” or “if you please”. It’s used to turn a command into a request. It’s probably not used on Lemmy, etc. because we’re not requesting things of each other a lot.

He seems to be confusing “freeware”, which is basically a license for copyrighted work, with “public domain”, which is the absence of a copyright.

When only one of the two parties is unwilling to continue the employer-employee relationship, it is obvious who is the moving party.

If the employer will not allow the claimant to continue work, even though the claimant wants to, then the employer is the moving party.
