The qoute says the “authors”, so this law is not exclusively tied to actors, but generally works of art and the people involved in creating it. Thats why I called out things like remakes.

And while you are right that in many of my examples there would probably be contracts to avoid these issues, my point was to show how easy it is to break this law (and that copyright owners do it all the time themselves).

Also, fair use for parodies is not a thing in all countries - not sure if it is in Denmark.

That only works up to a point before nations push back. Additionally it assumes there is value in those assets. If there really is a train that stops in the middle of nowhere, you’re probably never recouping those costs.

Yeah, it also seems weird cause things like remakes, parodies, trailers, etc. all would technically violate that law.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. Of course they’re going to try to get the most money out of you, it feels like fixed rate mortgages though at least give the buyer some leverage.

They make it sound like lenders game the system to make the fixed rate loans not super beneficial (refinance costs/etc.). I have no idea how true that is, but even if it is, having a fixed amount you owe each month is so much easier for the everyday person.

I can’t imagine having a variable rate loan and then finding out due to the Fed raising rates that I know owe another couple hundred per month.

Based on this we’d expect the PS6 by 2027, meaning there is only one year left for the Ps5 as “current Gen”.

Sure the “lifespan” of the console will be longer, but most people think of it in terms of the console being the current generation of consoles.

Deflation can be really damaging because it disincentivizes things like investments and longterm projects. Here are a couple of examples:

• One of the biggest issues with mortgages is if you are under water (can you pay off your debt if you sell the house). With deflation, you could buy a house today and owe more than the house is worth tomorrow.
• If the total cost to manufacture a car is $X, but by the time I can sell the car the market would only pay $X-50, then I’m actually better off not making the car.

Essentially, high deflationary pressure causes people to hold their money and not spend it. It’s what happened in Japan around 1990s-2010s resulting in basically negative growth in their economy - Source

Hyper inflation is a similar issue, but on the other end. The value of money is lost so quickly that things like life savings can become worthless due to money losing its value so rapidly.

It’s a common trope to joke about the use/misuse of the Oxford comma - Examples .

So the responder is extending the joke to make it the Oxford “coma”. Since the original person was asking for a long sleep in between life and death, a coma sorta fits their description.

It says Oxford Coma. So it’s coma (someone who can’t be woken up) vs comma (punctuation).

It took me way to long to notice the missing m.

I mean, you don’t get paid everyday, missed paydays are the metric of pain people are feeling.

Surprisingly, actually two different agencies. You have CBP (Customs and Border Patrol) which do - customs and border patrol, and ICE (Migration and customs enforcement) which do - mostly immigration stuff.

I absolutely agree with you, I got to a point where I had solved the “main” puzzle, but was struggling to complete other puzzles (that I knew the solution to) simply due to room draws.

I wanted to love the game, but it held itself back on the RNG design. It can be so detrimental to the game that I wouldn’t recommend it to most people.

Yeah, I couldn’t find an article going into that level of detail on what “packaging” meant, but I have to imagine it’s the more involved process.

I believe packaging here is more involved than just putting them in a container.

Which means, these chips are made in Europe, but actually finalized as a real product in China.

Isn’t this basically what turned into the “Manosphere” with people like Nick Fuentes, Andrew Tate, and Charlie Kirk.

Basically moving away from explicitly “dating” to general “manliness/Alpha” stuff, but still preying on typical male insecurities.

Yeah, just imagine what would happen if he had gotten in an accident. Even ignoring abducting the child, can you imagine what a mess that insurance report would be?

I’m sorry, you think it’s normal for federal agents to drive away in a citizens car WITH a child in it?

Not to mention it was a 1 year old, and the family doesn’t know what happened with the child during the HOURS they had here I their custody.

Maybe this is a “whoosh”, but this is something the IRS (under Trump) decided to do. So no voting was directly involved.

It was a surprise hit for me. It feels more approachable than most souls likes and has a pretty decent story.

I imagine that it would be a decision that just affects things going forward to avoid all of that.
