I'll explain to you how CopyLeft works if you pay me. If you pay year-after-year, I'll keep you updated with how it works over the time and... I'll even allow you to call me twice per year.
Except this only works on the bacteria on contact.
Get a bit of slime and the surface never touches most of the bacteria.
Most of the biofilms are... guess what... bacteria. The smoothness of the surface may even promote the formation of a bacteria nanofilm.

Then, I'd suggest you research some methods to deal with the increase of temperature in your car, due to the absorbtion of light in the spectral range 350–1150 nm (near infrared to near UV) - you'll need to dissipate approx 1 kW for each square meter of absorbing surface

I've asked said people what they think of ascorbic acid, to which most of them effectively say they'd avoid anything containing it. Not a very good idea to completely shut out one of the most important amino acids from your diet.
Would you please show me the amino (NH2) group specific to aminoacids in the C6H8O6 molecula formula of the ascorbic acid?

Unique? Maybe not, but again not that usual on/. You see, not many of us have girlfriends... at college... with daughters...

Thanks, but no thanks: I can't be bothered indeed.

This is technically incorrect.
Let me try: Tellurium-128 has a half life of 2.2(3)e+24 years.
Tellurium 128 has not existed for 2e+10 years, let alone 1e+24 or a couple of 1e+24 years. Based on the best research and scientific modeling, nuclear scientists expect that any certain amount of Tellurium-128 will be halved after 2.2(3)e+24 years, but that is an educated conjecture, not an observed fact. etc

Excepts from it:
The Brazilian and German initiative seeks to apply the right to privacy, which is enshrined in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), to online communications. Their proposal, [...], affirms a "right to privacy that is not to be subjected to arbitrary or unlawful interference with their privacy, family, home, or correspondence." It notes that while public safety may "justify the gathering and protection of certain sensitive information," nations "must ensure full compliance" with international human rights laws. A final version the text is scheduled to be presented to U.N. members on Wednesday evening and the resolution is expected to be adopted next week.
Publicly, U.S. representatives say they're open to an affirmation of privacy rights. "The United States takes very seriously our international legal obligations, including those under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights," Kurtis Cooper, a spokesman for the U.S. mission to the United Nations, said in an email. "We have been actively and constructively negotiating to ensure that the resolution promotes human rights and is consistent with those obligations."
But privately, American diplomats are pushing hard to kill a provision of the Brazilian and German draft which states that "extraterritorial surveillance" and mass interception of communications, personal information, and metadata may constitute a violation of human rights. The United States and its allies, according to diplomats, outside observers, and documents, contend that the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights does not apply to foreign espionage.
In recent days, the United States circulated to its allies a confidential paper highlighting American objectives in the negotiations, "Right to Privacy in the Digital Age -- U.S. Redlines." It calls for changing the Brazilian and German text so "that references to privacy rights are referring explicitly to States' obligations under ICCPR and remove suggestion that such obligations apply extraterritorially." In other words: America wants to make sure it preserves the right to spy overseas.
The United States negotiators have been pressing their case behind the scenes, raising concerns that the assertion of extraterritorial human rights could constrain America's effort to go after international terrorists. But Washington has remained relatively muted about their concerns in the U.N. negotiating sessions. According to one diplomat, "the United States has been very much in the backseat," leaving it to its allies, Australia, Britain, and Canada, to take the lead.
There is no extraterritorial obligation on states "to comply with human rights," explained one diplomat who supports the U.S. position. "The obligation is on states to uphold the human rights of citizens within their territory and areas of their jurisdictions."
Duhhh... what?!? So, breaking human rights doesn't count if done outside the country of the perpetrator? You mean Abu Ghraib was perfectly legal after all?
Why are you only blaming the cops? What about the legislators who drafted and passed the law, the governor who signed it, and (if it's prosecuted) the DA who pursues it.
I suggest to let the cops deprived by their retirement deal with those.
Yes, I do say it in jest, no shadow of an if (what else can I do?)
which means you probably don't live in Texas,
No! I gladly do not live there and enjoying every moment of it.
eliminating teaching critical thinking skills to children lest it undermined the autority of their parents
Well, yeah...
Matthew 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
They are good parents and truly have their children wellbeing at heart: you think is a small thing to be blessed all the days of your life? (meanwhile, other can enjoy this Earth, be it kingdom or just a republic)
And, on top of that, this blessing comes cheap indeed - just have you kids dumbed down, I hear it costs much less than the opposite... (isn't this the very reason for which Texas board buys text-books in bulk?)
That's an engineering problem. You know, we can put them flyers in orbit. Assuming we can do this, we can go further and put them on an orbit around/closer to the Sun and use some kind of EM radiation to send the power on Earth.
Or... you know... we begin by boosting the receiver end to take advantage of that kind of EM radiation the Sun already emits and eliminate the energy cost of the drones?
Uh, in times past the US has been 100% independent. In fact, prior to WWII the US was very isolationist and doing just fine as an independent sleeper superpower.

I don't think so. A lot of people are into that sort of thing.
Yeah... think of the lost jobs and taxes... what would happen if nobody has to pay for spanking or whipping any more?
Could someone explain how CopyLeft ransom works?
I'll explain to you how CopyLeft works if you pay me.
If you pay year-after-year, I'll keep you updated with how it works over the time and... I'll even allow you to call me twice per year.
You could power the car with it. ;-)
Using the car's interior as the working volume for the expansion of hot gases... that would be an idea!

Does Mint have an independent millionaire sugar daddy supporting it?
Although I'm not sure if that's a pro or a con right now. ;)
con?
(Insert appearance jokes here.)
Nope. I'll go with "The Year of Linux on the washbasin".

Yep. Supplementary, before the above, one can still google on the line of:
product_name problem or product_name fails functionality
Substitute product_name and potentialy refine problem/functionality to something that make sense for the product/model and you wouldn't like to happen to you after you buy it.
Something like: https://www.google.com/search?q=belkin+N150+lost+connection or https://www.google.com/search?q=belkin+N150+overheat.

Isolationist? Oh, really?
Don't worry, they didn't. It was borrowed money.
