Yea and IP is a colloquialism anyway for copyright, trademarks, patents, and trade secrets there isn’t a specific amendment or common law of ‘ideas are same as houses’ just an imaginary gotcha to a mistaken interpretation.
- brookst 4y agoYep. It's like people who think they've had an epiphany that says something about physics when they discover that the things Americans call "shock absorbers" do not, in fact, absorb shocks.
- Dylan16807 4y ago> the things Americans call "shock absorbers" do not, in fact, absorb shocks. ?? "A shock absorber or damper is a mechanical or hydraulic device designed to absorb and damp shock impulses."
- brookst 4y agoSprings are what absorb impacts. Shocks, or hydraulic dampeners, are what keep you from bouncing on the springs forever after hitting a bump. They're a system, but a car with dead shocks will still absorb bumps without transmitting to the cabin, it will just make you seasick.
- Dylan16807 4y agoYou're using a strange and overly narrow definition of 'absorb'. The springs and dampers are both taking in the kinetic energy. And only one of them does it permanently, and it's not the springs. I'd rather drive a car with (pressurized) shocks and no springs than drive a car with near-ideal springs and no shocks. I bet the former would absorb bumps much better than the latter.
