One of the nice things about Twin XL is that it is literally half of a standard king. The boxsprings are interchangeable, since King boxsprings tend to be just two Twin XL halves. If you and your partner need separate sheets (as my wife and I do, since she’s a very light sleeper), Twin XL sets can usually be picked up…

I worked in the industry for several years as well. Just because some workers are relatively easy to replace with under-experienced alternatives doesn’t mean unionization can’t work. Some of the oldest and strongest unions in the country are those that represent labor forces whose jobs look (on the surface) like they…

Customers will notice the lack of quality, and production will eventually come back, even if there’s some short-term backlash. Moviemaking can be done most anywhere, for example, but the studios know they can’t consistently make quality work without union labor.  Video games will be the same.

Unionize. Unionize. Unionize.

There was a similar effect between Luke and Leia, as he was able to give her a memento while ghosting to Crait.

Composition, definitely. Recordings would only become public domain if they had come out at the same time as the composition.

The fundamental issue with the plastic straw debate is that there wasn’t anywhere near enough focus on the issue of how the straws keep getting into the ocean in the first place. It’s first and foremost a question of proper waste disposal methods.

Identity can be extremely important, though. Adapting to deafness, for instance, has yielded several new languages and subcultures.

I’m pretty sure the Mind Flayer might be a nickname for the alien from Rogue One used to interrogate the pilot.

Interesting. I had not seen that until today. I still wouldn’t hold out too much hope for a TV/game crossover, however. The fundamental question would be whether content that’s original to the show (rather than content original to the books) is transferable to a third party without the agreement of the show’s other…

Remember, there’s no relationship between the games and TV series. CDPR would have to sign a new agreement with the rightsholders for that to happen, and I find that exceedingly unlikely. 

It would be nice to have a transcript of your videos posted though. 

EXECUTE ORDER 69.

The games are their own separate canon.

“Netflix’s The Witcher is based more on Andrzej Sapkowski’s books than it is the games.”

Gamebook is also an existing term.

That’s not a legal requirement to protect the trademark. It’s a fairly standard strategy.

Cellophane lost their trademark in such a manner. While Kleenex and Band-Aid are both household names, they actively protect their trademarks from infringement by other companies and products. 

Only two of the books were collections of short stories. All the rest have been novels. 

However, a smart HR department knows that in the long term, the company’s bottom line can suffer if employees are consistently mistreated.
