Which begs the question. In 30 years time, when all your senior attorneys have retired and no longer around to catch “hallucinations”, where are the new ones coming from if we got rid of all the associates?
Some kind of Matrix-like pod, I assume. Patent attorneys don’t reproduce sexually. Can you imagine?! Eww

Found the bit where he explains so music works the same as ai pictures as it just turns the music into a spectrogram first, makes sense
They’ve made a thing that stops ai from accurately recognising stuff to protect people’s music from being stolen. Current takes two weeks and a lot of electricity to do though. I’ll stick to making music no one will hear or would want to copy

“Pull the other one, buy me dinner first” is a British idiom used to express disbelief or skepticism about someone’s offer or request. It’s a playful way of saying “I don’t believe you” or “That’s unlikely”, often used when someone is trying to get out of paying for dinner. The phrase implies that the person is being silly or making a joke, and you’re calling them out on it.
In this specific context, the person might be trying to avoid paying for dinner and is being playful and sarcastic. The response is a way of calling them out on it and indicating that you don’t believe their excuses or claims that they won’t be able to pay for dinner.

The phrase “you can’t pipe the pope” is a humorous way of saying something is impossible or extremely unlikely. It’s a rhetorical question designed to emphasize the obviousness of the answer. In this context, it essentially means “there’s no way that could happen.”
The saying “you can pipe the pope but you can’t ripe the rope” is a humorous and rhetorical question, implying that certain actions are impossible, while others are not. The phrase plays on the sounds of words, suggesting a comparison where “pipe the pope” (an impossible task) is contrasted with “ripe the rope” (a seemingly absurd but not impossible task).
“Riping” a rope, which likely refers to untangling and softening a rope, can be achieved through several methods. For a skipping rope, hot water immersion and gentle drying can help loosen up tangles and folds. For climbing ropes or other rope types, washing with mild detergent and lukewarm water, brushing, rinsing, and allowing the rope to dry can soften and untangle it.

The idiom “there’s more than one way to berate a horse” implies that there are various ways to criticize or scold someone, just as there are different methods to train or discipline a horse. It suggests that you can express disapproval or frustration in numerous ways, not just one.
Elaboration:
The idiom “there’s more than one way to berate a horse” is a playful way of saying that people can be critical or upset with someone in many different ways. It emphasizes that there are multiple approaches to expressing disapproval, just as there are different methods for training or managing a horse.
Example:
Instead of saying “I’m very disappointed in you,” someone might say, “There’s more than one way to berate a horse, and I’m just going to use a gentle one.” This suggests that they will express their disapproval in a subtle or indirect way, rather than being overly harsh.
In essence, the idiom highlights the flexibility and variety in how people can express their dissatisfaction or criticism, just as a skilled rider or trainer has many options for guiding and correcting a horse.
Wasn’t supposed to be a reply to @the_ravens but as the saying goes, there’s more than one way to berate a horse

I don’t get these results at all. Maybe it’s a Brexit thing?
The saying “once you pop, you can’t stop” is a phrase used to describe something, particularly a snack, that is so addictive that it’s difficult to stop eating once you’ve started. The phrase highlights the irresistible nature of a product and its ability to create a desire for more.
Elaboration:
The phrase is a classic example of how marketers use language to suggest an addictive quality in a product. The “pop” refers to the action of opening a container, and the “you can’t stop” part emphasizes the perceived difficulty in controlling consumption.
Context:
-
The phrase gained widespread popularity as the slogan for Pringles potato chips.
-
The slogan reflects the addictive nature of the snack’s taste and the convenience of its tubular packaging.
-
The phrase, and its variations like “once you pop, the fun don’t stop,” effectively communicates the idea of a snack that is both enjoyable and hard to resist.
