You've got me there!

According to Pantone 19-0912 it is. You were just very savvy to printing industry standards as a child.

Do we have the technology to do that considering the increasing heat, gravity, and magnetic force as one goes deeper? I feel like anything we could do would involve lots of nukes that would basically destroy the planet in the process.

It reminds me vaguely of Operation Trojan Shield, except with explosions.

It could be a binary file, though that would probably make it smaller if anything.

I'm guessing the point was the developer didn't invent some proprietary log that also contained a dump and other things that could conceivably be very large. That would also be terrible design, but managing to create hundreds of gigs of text in a game crash log is a special kind of terrible.

I was thinking the same thing. This seems like investigative journalism that's more public and without the ethics and rigor part.

They are very much as a whole not negligible. They can be--people can get checks for cents sometimes. But they wouldn't go on strike and sign a deal if it never amounted to anything. I'm not even in the industry and have a passing familiarity with the concept; I've just been reading about it and listening to people from it for years.

DGA also has residuals in their contract. IATSE might for some roles, but you can't feasibly give everyone involved in a production residuals. The point of residuals is to hold over people in roles that are very fickle and can go years between jobs, like everyday working actors and writers. If you're going years between jobs getting hired for craft services, your food might just suck.

It would be great if everyone could get a share, but that's not realistic. Big productions can have thousands of people who work on them. Having to send the carpenter on a film a check for two cents yearly would create insane administrative overhead. There has to be a line somewhere.

While they are still insufficient, residuals do exist. It's why SAG and WGA went on strike last year, since streaming residuals were (and to a degree still are) garbage. It's not as directly tied to sales as if they received points, but with Hollywood accounting that's a risk. Though if you're talking about Nebula, maybe this is more about YouTube creators which is a different can of worms.

It really depends. One tenant could have an ant problem because another adjacent tenant is attracting them, which the landlord needs to address. If the structure has decaying wood, that can attract carpenter ants which is a landlord issue. Some ants like humid environments, so a poorly ventilated structure (like one with mold) could be the cause--also the landlord's problem.

Matt Walsh read this comment and is crying and throwing up as a result.

Judging by how many numerical fields on mobile websites still give me the full keyboard, maybe not.

The article is using as a source a 4chan post that had a docket number that didn't check out. I'm pretty sure this is a joke someone took seriously because they needed to publish something today.

This would get almost immediately dismissed by any judge.
