The public domain allows free use of anything in it. It allows people to innovate and expand upon established knowledge without having to pay tribute to original creators or their estates.

Intellectual property was created as a compromise to get people to be more open with their works. It allowed artists and writers to create things without risking their creations copied and losing their livelihood. Similarly inventors were also encouraged to publish how they invented because it granted them a period of exclusive access to controlling that method. In the long term the public benefits by getting access to everything.

It still costs more if you have significant scraps as that product is essentially processed twice. Even a half cent of extra cost per thousand bars gets significant.

I’d be surprised if more than 5% of people actually read the sidebar.

It’s a common problem with estates though even if 4/5 people want to sell it for whatever they can get, that 1 person can keep it in limbo for a very long time. If there wasn’t a will or trust that explicitly gave someone power (and even if there is in some cases), a few years of nothing happening isn’t actually outside the norm.

Wild boars are an invasive species, they don’t have natural predators.

It’s really not, boars can breed multiple times per year, have litters between 2 and 12, and can breed as early as 6 months old.

It takes lots of effort to keep a population stable, actually eliminating them is very difficult.

I remember people talking about stories where someone got a great job because they happened to be a big guild leader and someone at the company was in the guild. It makes sense to me, just running a 10 man Kara with people that already knew what to do was exhausting.

Not worth it in the US unless you are certain to get enough to never work again. You will be framed as anti-woman regardless of facts and that will effectively ban you from future employment.

Physicians have their humanity, but they can’t house the homeless in the ER. They will save their lives when they OD, get hit by a car, or something.
