The basis for the most common cold is... not a virus.
The basis for the most common flu is... influenza.

Actually, no. Facebook does have offices in Brazil, and if very much susceptible to all legal measures.
Why would anyone even consider the need to block access to a company to hold it legally responsible?
Brazil is not that much of a backwater place. Companies actually do business here.

Oh, a legal precedent costs much more than the case dollar amount. It opens the doors for other fines and lawsuits.

Wouldn't it be funny if that was the solution to the "impossible amount of processing power" for the hypothesis that we live in a simulated universe?

Racists are found in virtually every branch of the sciences, and that doesn't mean they are right, or that racism has any scientific basis or merit.

That Monty Python reference saved my say. Thank you, kind sir.

There is a risk, all right. Meaning the money isn't going to line the pockets of campaign donors.

I agree. People keeps bashing this movie but the idea was to create a sort of live-action anime and they did it.

The demand for pirated content increases as new streaming services are released, competing with Netflix.
When you have to pay 10-15$/month for 7+ difference services, piracy numbers skyrocket.

There is plenty of empirical data published that back this assertion. Netflix was, at a time, one of the greatest piracy deterrents. But as companies got greedy and everyone started having their own streaming service, the piracy numbers started to go up again.

... when they turned digital without notice I canceled it.
To be clear, my problem wasn't the magazine going digital but that they have done with it without any prior notice. Also, I did pay for international shipping and they said my subscription would stay the same price which I don't think is fair.

I wouldn't dare speak for ALL vegans and vegetarians, but most of ones I know have no problems with this, think it is a great idea and would try it if available around here.

Why would vegans be against something that is marketed as being indistinguishable from beef? It check all the boxes, including the ethical ones.

Worth noticing that the first torrent CAM for Endgame hit the interwebs on the 25th.
Doesn't look like piracy made any difference whatsoever on the box office.

Must be nice where you live. No unemployment, unlimited options for people to pick whatever job they want. People don't need to work for low wages, they do it only because they want to, in the place you live.

Must be really nice.

Or??? :-)

Go comb your hair, kid!
