@notjustbikes Early in the COVID Pandemic, Medtronic "released" one of their ventilator designs as "Open Source"; I worked with a team of mostly MIT engineers to take this info and build ventilators.

It was BS. Mostly "image" PDF's, half-assed BOMs, missing code, 3rd-party parts (like the air pump) without even listing the source.

IT was a PR joke, a complete distraction. All the documentation was saying is "yup, Medtronic built a thing".

@natematias "copy" covers a lot of ground when you realize it would have been a 698 year old "copy" vs a 725 year old original! How did Harvard *only* pay $27 for even a 698 year old document?

THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHURCH SUPPORTED THE RIGHT TO ABORTION UNTIL 1978. THE ONLY REASON THEY CHANGED WAS FOR POLITICS. SO THE BIBLICAL CLAIM AGAINST ABORTION IS A BUNCH OF CRAP!!!
