Comment Re:If you buy a movie, should be able to download (Score 1) 111

Are you talking about digital game downloads or games that require you to always be online?

Because the licenses for digital games almost never get revoked. Usually that only happens when a publisher is forced to recall a game.

If you have a license for a digital game, you can still re-download from the respective online store it even if the game gets delisted and is no longer for sale.

Always online games are worse as it affects both digital and physical copies. Especially for single player games that unnecessarily need an online connection to play. When the publisher shuts down the servers, all versions of the game stop working.

I have never had a dryer in my garage. My previous house had a laundry room adjacent to the garage but I'd have to unplug the dryer and use a really long EVSE cord with the door from the house to the garage open slightly all night. New house has the laundry room on the second floor.

The question is: do people have their dryer in their garage in California?

Why? What's so odd about a medical school named after a non-doctor?

It's like playing word association. I say "water", most people say "wet". If someone says "lemonade" you stop for a second because it was unexpected. It's not wrong, just unexpected. Now you have to stop and think: yeah, you need water to make lemonade...

They first thing that comes to mind when someone says "Albert Einstein" is "physics". So when you see "Albert Einstein school of Medicine" your brain goes "That was unexpected". Now you have to stop and think about it: wonder why a medical school was named after him.

Schools are commonly named after donors, as are hospitals and arenas - why does the namesake for a facility have to in a field related to the activity within the facility?

Usually you see something named after someone ex "Jones school of Math" you don't know much/anything about Jones so there's nothing contradictory/unexpected to give you pause.

I think you're trying to hard to spot an issue where there really is none.

Pot, kettle, black. You're trying hard to spot an issue with my comment where there really is none. It's a JOKE. I'm not being serious nor am I pointing out an real issue.
