6 to 10 years? What kind of risk were they taking on? I’ve lost about 3 months worth.

This was a news article from 2015. Since then nearly every year has set a record for being the warmest ever recorded.
We’ve had a decade of pumping more money into the money machine while our ecology falls apart around us.

the deaths appear to be more the result of the vehicle fire, as opposed to drugs, or injuries the victims sustained in the crash. And troublingly, that testimony also showed the Cybertruck’s doors could not be opened in the aftermath of the crash, preventing Riordan from pulling the other three victims from the flaming wreckage.

A place near me does this. It’s the worst. The spaghetti is chewy because it’s dehydrated from being grilled.

- Comment on A monolithic and ruthless conspiracy: What was John F. Kennedy referring to? 2 months ago:
You’re not going to like this answer but he didn’t say Soviet Union because he didn’t need to. Everybody understood that ‘communism’ was ‘THE Global Conspiracy’ ever since McCarthyism took of.
Check out A conspiracy so immense : the world of Joe McCarthy by David Oshinsky to learn a little of what the attitude of the time was like.

He was talking about the Soviet Union. Don’t they teach this very basic shit in school?
- Comment on [TerakJK] Avowed vs The Outer Worlds - Obsidian's previous game - Attention to detail. 2 months ago:
It’s interesting to me how divisive reactions seem to be on Avowed, some people loving the hell out of it and some being very lukewarm. It’s not even falling along the usual IGN reviewer love vs indie reviewer scepticism divide like Starfield or Veilguard. I wonder what’s driving the difference?
- Comment on is it wrong/selfish to cut contact with my trump-supporting father? 2 months ago:
It sounds like your life will be immeasurably improved by cutting him off. But it’s such an intense, personal decision that I’m not sure any internet stranger could honestly say one way or the other.
- Comment on Do most people still use computers, or do people only use a smartphone as their main/only device? 2 months ago:
Seems like smartphones are generally used more often than PCs among younger cohorts compared to older. In Britain at least.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 2 months ago:
Going from decline to fall. To be fair it took Rome 200 years or so I’m sure the US will limp on for a while yet. But it won’t ever be what it was again.

- Comment on Why the 2020 video game Immortals: Fenyx Rising doesn't infringe on the trademark of the 2011 film Immortals? 2 months ago:
There could be a huge range of possible answers to this question. But we can look at the listings to get some clues.
IMMORTALS FENYX RISING Owner: UBISOFT ENTERTAINMENT (France) Nice class: 9, 14, 16, 18, 25, 28, 41
Regional Trademark Registration Region of filing: European Union Status: Registered (June 25, 2021) Number: 018409702
And
IMMORTALS Owner: Relativity Media, LLC (USA) Nice class: 9, 16, 28, 41 Regional Trademark Registration Region of filing: European Union Status: Expired (November 12, 2020) Number: 009520024
Now there is some overlap between them. The Nice classes, which denote which product/service categories the words are trademarked within, however within a single Nice class there can be a variety of products.
Fenyx rising’s trademark is still active and we can see it was refiled in June 2021, with some previously expired trademarks of the same name having expired in November 2021, whereas Immortals expired in 2020. Without going into the details my best guess is that the initial filing was more limited and has now been expanded to cover more media.
But the big one here is the characteristic word. By adding Fenyx Rising, it could be argued that in addition to the material differences between the trademarks that there is enough separation to ensure there is no risk of confusion from audiences. There are also multiple Immortals trademarks which could make that would in and of itself less defensible depending on the potential conflict.
Finally we can’t discount the possibility that the two parties came to a pre-arrangef agreement to exist in the marketplace side by side. This often happens and unless one is a long-serving distinctive trademark then usually parties can find a way to agree.
