Which is reasonable in principle, but when they sell the exclusivity, they’re and to put that money back into their research expenses.

I’m okay with public money going to funding research projects that become private profit for a limited time. I’m a capitalist system, which is what we’re operating in, this seems to be the most effective. Government partially funds otherwise unprofitable R&D, companies make the product, and ordinary people are able to buy it at reasonable prices, and once exclusivity ends, anyone can make it.

Can you use them on Android?

But it still says “1 ignored message” when they say something. I want it HIDDEN ENTIRELY, Discord!

So how should we make this available to people then?

I’m sure they are, but don’t you dare ask why bird flu is such a problem in the first place.

Research isn’t free either.

Yes, that supports what I was saying.

It isn’t, really. In informal English, subject ellipsis is common, but the implied subject is usually “I”, hence my original comment.

Subject ellipsis occurs in the casual register with first person as the predominant referent

Windows does not require secure boot.

Then use a complete sentence instead of leaving it ambiguous.

Saves money sure, but every other week? I have to buzz it twice a week to keep it short enough to not look terrible. That’s enough effort that I’d rather apply a regular treatment.

I don’t think UCLA is going to produce retail products themselves.
