I’m pretty sure Moist Von Lipwig said that about their son because this story involves both a young man (Heitmann) and a pre-teen girl (the 12yo in the car he hit) dying. Parents tend to think about their children when they read things like that, because it reminds them that something could happen to end their…

Every damn time I see a cop pull the “I feared for my life” excuse out of their ass, I want to scream at them “THEN WHY THE HELL DID YOU BECOME A COP?” If you fear for your life that much, you should pick just about any career other than one in law enforcement.

One of those soft lunch coolers with a strap works wonderfully, and even keeps them cool for maybe 10 to 15 minutes!

It’s actually worse than 95 years, that’s just for corporate owned copyrights. For individuals, it’s life + 70 years. If someone writes a novel at 20, then lives to 100, the novel will remain under copyright for 150 years.

Yeah, I really appreciate that his heart was in the right place and he was trying to help, but stopping in the middle of two lanes wasn’t a good idea.

You’d think that, but all evidence suggests a significant chunk of the population cannot (or probably more like will not) learn that lesson.

For the little kids the big plush one like they have at the Ghibli Museum works wonderfully. It was awesome seeing all the kids happily crawling all over the thing. I’d like to see an animatronic one myself, the idea sounds awesome.

I don’t know about all of Disney’s Ghibli DVD releases, but I remember that Laputa’s subtitles were not the same as the dub. That was particularly memorable because the dub was soooooo bad that my mom asked me to switch to subs and Japanese language. She never does that, she has trouble reading them quickly enough.…

Can you imagine how horrible it’d be for any kids who’d seen Totoro watching that? They’d be crying for days.

There’s an easy solution, at least in this case. He’s already community manager for two games, so have two community managers covering multiple games and don’t allow them both go on vacation at the same time. Adjust the number of games covered in total by them until the financials work.

Doesn’t everyone love a cellular peptide cake with mint frosting?

For that quantity of cards, he probably had to spend more for a good portion of the sets. Still an insane amount of money.

That doesn’t get the point across either, because the city pays it (or rather, the city’s insurance company pays it) and the police officers involved don’t see a dime of that money taken from them. And the courts nearly never remove their qualified immunity, so you can’t sue the officers individually. It’s almost desig…

He got fat beforehand, he was on the Jenolan traveling to a colony to enjoy his recent retirement from Starfleet. While he was in the transporter buffer 75 years, TNG takes place roughly 100 years after TOS and that episode took place in the sixth season, adding another six years into the timeline.

Patterns of foods and materials aren’t stored at the same level of detail, think molecular level versus sub-quantum level for the beings the transporter transports. This makes the storage requirements vastly smaller. If you tried replicating a human at the same level of detail you’d get a human-shaped dead object.

Even if AdBlock plays a role, it’s not entirely due to it. They do that to me in Pale Moon, a Firefox fork, but if I load the same pages in Chrome, they display properly. Both browsers use uBlock Origin and the same filter lists.

Plus this type of fraud actually isn’t the fault of Supercell & Kabam, because selling of accounts is basically always against games’ Terms of Service. Some developers look the other way and don’t do much to stop it, but they also won’t help you if your purchased account turns out to be stolen. All support will do is…

Nope, you have to basically guess if it’s valid or not. The good news is the vast, vast majority of coupons are legit, most people don’t try to defraud retailers. As for the small portion that are fake, a lot of them nowadays will be downloaded from online and printed. You don’t even have to be hunting for fake…

The bar code will scan on photocopied coupons, and that’s a large source of real coupon fraud, so you can’t rely solely on whether or not the bar code scans to determine if the coupon is fraudulent. If he’d simply said “This looks photocopied, and company policy is not to accept photocopied coupons,” it would have…

Manly Guys Doing Manly Things last published a strip on June 18th, so it’s right at a month for them. But Nerd Rage last published a strip on November 10, 2017. They had been on hiatus for nearly two months when Gamer Cat went on hiatus in January. Gamer Cat came back from hiatus on June 11th (going by the website’s…
