Iran threatens British shipping in retaliation for tanker seizure ... “If Britain does not release the Iranian oil tanker, it is the authorities’ duty to seize a British oil tanker,” Mohsen Rezai said on Twitter. The Gibraltar government said the crew on board the supertanker Grace 1 were being interviewed as witnesses, not criminal suspects, in an effort to establish the nature of the cargo and its ultimate destination. U.S. President Donald Trump, while not specifically mentioning the supertanker incident, repeated a warning to Tehran: “We’ll see what happens with Iran. Iran has to be very, very careful,” he told reporters at the White House. British Royal Marines boarded the ship off the coast of the British territory on Thursday and seized it over accusations it was breaking sanctions by taking oil to Syria. They landed a helicopter on the moving vessel in pitch darkness. ... Edited July 5, 2019 by Foxx 2

I found it interesting because of the very nature of what the patent applications were for. Very out of this world type of stuff. I'm equally amazed that anyone would not find these to be interesting. And, yes, you can find patent applications for all sorts of crazy things. 2
Deranged Rhino Posted July 6, 2019 Author Posted July 6, 2019 Never had to evacuate a movie theater before, that was a fun time tonight when the shaking started. Low and slow here in LA, nothing damaging. But China Lake is having a rough 48 hours - I'm watching 5.0 aftershocks hit while the geologists are briefing the news (as I am typing this post). Is it too early to come back for Training Camp? 4

Thank you. “He” made stuff up and submitted it. Anyone could do that. JK Rowling could submit a magic broom patent application tomorrow. This is just nonsense. I understand how applications like this fuel magic thinking. I like Star Trek too. Edited July 6, 2019 by BeginnersMind

The USPTO has some standards. Rowling couldn't submit a magic broom patent, for example, because "magic" isn't patentable. She'd have to describe how it works. At least one of those patents from Hedge's link shouldn't have been awarded, as it was a perpetual motion machine.

Deranged Rhino Posted July 6, 2019 Author Posted July 6, 2019 The reaction(s) of the hosts are pretty funny (only because it was fine/no damage in Studio City). She's ready to run from the moment it starts.

You can submit a patent application for anything including magic. Which is why the magical thinkers here find this so exciting. Edited July 6, 2019 by BeginnersMind
