Man, The Simpsons HAS to be the longest running show ever.

I just thought of it. I've been watching the show (not religiously) since I was 9......

Yes and no. It is the longest running cartoon tv series. Which really means nothing, since a cartoon could potentially run for centuries with the same characters, unlike human actors, who have finite lifespans. Mickey Mouse was created in 1928 and is still going strong 87 years later. Gunsmoke has the record of being the longest running live action series. It began as a radio show in 1951 and ran until 1975 as a tv series.

@leothelioness Hope you're feeling much better now.

Guys! I attracted a girl that's my age instead of an older girl or a teenager!

OMM: Hoping the incessant meows of my cat will stop... it's far too cold for her to be outside.

You don't have a litterbox?

Lol! Of course she does, but she's an indoor/outdoor cat. It's about that time of year where she can't be outside.

Ahhh. My cats are all outdoor cats. One of the big toms running around here looks like a tribble from Star Trek now because he is growing his winter coat. lol

Does anyone think it would be worth the $50,000-$100,000 cost to obtain full domestic and international patent rights to an untested invention?

Untested? I'm not sure. What happens if you buy the patent and then discover the invention does not work? I guess it's a question of can you afford to take the risk? Nothing wrong with a little risk, as long as you can afford the consequences of either success or failure.

When I said untested, I meant that they had never been built full scale. I have two working prototypes of both inventions. The problem lies in the fact that one of them was designed to provide electricity for a home, but would be expensive for the average homeowner. But it could be scaled up for commercial application. The other, I think I might have a difficult time convincing people that it isn't a "perpetual motion" machine. It is basically a "re-invention" of 120 year old tech, but applied in a different configuration. One that doesn't violate anyone's valid patents. Ive seen similar devices online, but those don't actually work. Mine does.

Well, if you know it works then I'd say it's worth the risk.

It's cold and gloomy today. Brrrr.

How is everyone else?

Jack of Spades · Nov 17, 2015

It's getting dark here at this time of year. It's depressive. It was today already pitch-black at 5 pm.

I wouldn't like that at all. It gets evening time here very quickly, around 4pm it starts to get hazy. At 6pm it's pretty much dark out.

Well, it's the worst part before snow comes. It lightens the land up when it comes.

windy, rainy, sunny, cloudy. Typical auckland weather, changeable.

Travelers.Soul · Nov 17, 2015

Chilly, overcast...in another 2 1/2 hours or so it will be dark out. On the upside, I had a cup of coffee and I have been pretty busy so it's not all bad.
