  I don’t believe so. They will only award a new patent if yours is meaningfully different from previous technologies. I would suspect they would deem the other direction “not a meaningful difference.”

  Idk. My dad has always liked going to church. My family is catholic, I don’t really engage in any of it anymore. But my dad has always been a proponent of science. His opinion is that they can inform each other.

  He believes in evolution. He knows vaccines work. And he certainly is not a trumper. He also likes to tell the story of how the big bang was initially hypothesized by a catholic priest.

  I smell ya! I used to work 12 hour shifts of manual labor. First day off was always spent with a huge headache. What a waste.

  Decades indeed. Thomas Nast made his first cartoon in like 1860 or something.

  My wife is born and raised in Texas. She thinks churches on every corner is normal. Now she is a travelling surgical tech and falling in love with upstate NY. It’s not my beloved Pacific Northwest, but I will gladly move anywhere away from these loco church people.
