To be fair I’m sure most COBOL devs are on the verge of dementia.

What do they even get out of cutting these cables? How does this benefit china in any way?

Something about this really makes me want to see if you can separate out the component metals of a car via extremely high temp fractional distilation.

You say that, but I have had a pet snake since I was a child and because I was a boy child I assumed they were male. But once I got older it occured to me that I have no idea if they’re actually male or female (because sexing a snake isn’t as easy as with mammals) and it seems more likely that they’re actually female. But I’m not certain either way and I genuinely don’t care. So I’ve since started refering to them as they/them. My dad still points it out every time I do it. “Oh, you have multiple snakes?” It’s kinda weird considering he’s so progressive in every other way.

I’m kind of curious if this would work if you already have implants. With those being screwed into the bone would it do enough damage to prevent growing a tooth in that location?

Yes, but building codes and city ordinances still apply. Owning the property doesn’t just exempt you from laws.

Exactly, overall it sounds like a great law to have on the books because fuck ads. But there are going to be edge cases like this. In this case the mural obviously shouldn’t be considered an ad but that needs to be decided on a case by case basis in court which it sounds like is what is happening.

The law limits the size of advertizing displays. If the mural is considered an ad then it is too large. Over all it’s probably a good law to have because nobody likes when the entire town is plastered with billboards, but there are going to be edge cases like this where it doesn’t make sense.
