We don’t punish people in this way because we, unlike Pratt and company, are civilized, but probably the most appropriate punishment for them would go something like this:

It wouldn’t impact the legit porn industry. Porn performers are free to not perform, but of course don’t get paid. But they didn’t fly into a city they’ve never been to before, weren’t lured there to do a clothed modeling job instead of porn, don’t have any money for a hotel or a return flight, and aren’t physically…

The best is probably the combo cases, they put the phone into a rubber shell, then have a hard plastic clamshell around that. My dad destroyed one case (he broke off 3 of the 4 corner tabs of the plastic clamshell) and has broken 2 corners off the current one on a Galaxy S4 Mini he’s had for years. He drops his phone…

You missed the best (aka worst) part:

At best they will block auto-playing videos with audio, but even then it’s more likely they’ll mute the audio and let the video play. The only way you can stop it is with a third-party extension, for example I use one called AutoplayStopper and it does what it says.  It’s invaluable for browsing Kotaku now, and all…

Full refunds are the exception, not the norm when digital services shutdown. Everyone should go in with the assumption they won’t get any refund if the service closes, and plan accordingly. Going by how Google Fiber left Lexington, Kentucky, I doubt Google will provide any refunds for Stadia. They didn’t even want to…

I have to use peroxide once a week to keep my earwax under control and the bubbles aren’t a big deal. They’ll stay in your ear, they may tickle a bit as the peroxide boils away, but they don’t make a big mess.

A hyperspace bypass would be more fitting.

Also, notably, they have yet to do anything to lessen the punishment on the two announcers that were on the stream. Those guys remain permanently banned.

Late reply but it looks like no one else replied to you.

Going only by their statement, it seems clear that Focus Home is doing to this to punish Frogwares for pulling their games from Focus Home. It’s probably not legal, as the change was made unilaterally after the contract was signed, but Focus Home was likely counting on Frogwares to cave and re-sign with Focus Home to…

This will be a bit spoilery, but Rogue One’s been out for years now, so...

Maybe take a day off work, or an extra-long lunch hour and go see it one week during the day? Would be less people around, matinee pricing for tickets, and much less likely to have a shooter show up. They’d want to go when there were lots of victims.

I hear some states have reserved that solely for religious purposes.

Another way the amount can grow is if they have unsubsidized loans that they get deferments on, or are on an income-based repayment plan that has them paying less than the interest amount each month. In those cases most students will opt to have the interest capitalized, so the loan gets slightly bigger every month…

As I’ve heard it said, putting people to sleep is easy, making sure they wake up again, that’s the hard part and why you need an anesthesiologist.

I don’t remember a lot about the movie, but that scene was really great. John Williams did an incredible job with the music sequence, and the entire idea of communicating with music is plausible: at it’s core, music is math.

I’m not a doctor or an expert, but it looks like the main treatment for this in adults is cognitive-behavioral therapy. In children the treatment process is systematic desensitization. That’s probably why no one’s tried medicating her, there’s not a medicine to treat it.

Even if they meant something different and worded it poorly, my own reaction to that statement was “they’re guilty as hell and they know it.” I not only believe it’s true, I believe they ignored warnings that it would happen.

It’s more than a stupid rule, it’s one that will impact customers who are following the rules. For example, your family members, that all live in the same place as you, listen to Spotify a lot while out of the house (in the car, at the gym, etc.) could be flagged, because they aren’t always at the same location. That’…
