Or, like, a mouth or something.

She got other holes.

I mean, at least you can.

14TB or 140TB? The latter is what’s being talked about, so that’s more like 2800 movies. Which more than covers that 1000+ movie criteria.

I’d imagine they were effectively banned, but not explicitly banned.

*7 hours (I just had this discussion with my partner, I thought ten as well)

Nah, they pay people to do it, like in Mexico

I believe they reach adulthood in their mid to late thirties. Merry and Pippin are technically in the equivalent of their late teens when they head off with Frodo in FotR

Water makes other water wet. If you have a single water molecule then it is not wet, as it has no other water to make it wet. Otherwise water, as a grouping of multiple adjacent molecules, makes itself wet.

People dont just neatly fit into boxes, to be dismissed as having singular motivation that is all completely surface level.

Just watch out for the zombie mode.

Does this give them any actual control over Blender development or is it just one of many groups saying “We like what you’re doing, keep at it”?

Not saying there isn’t the possibility of pressure because “If you don’t do what we want, we’ll pull our funding”… but again, if they’re just one of many patrons at that level (amongst many at a smaller level) so that’s not necessarily going to make that big a difference.

Are there requirements for these programs? Or can they make it as onerous as possible to disincentivize usage of said program? (More rhetorical than anything)

“Legal” is now (more) dependant on political loyalty than it is actual jurisprudence.
