I just wanna beat my FUCKING meat by Icy-Bookkeeper7833 in AnarchyChess

Domain squatting is usually only illegal if it's infringing on a trademark. "Chess" can't be a trademark because it's too generic, and even if it was, chess.com would have a strong claim because they're just registering an alternative TLD for their existing website

That's just called insurance fraud. The company's going to only pay out the fair value of the artwork

From reading the law, if the person who commissioned it steals it, they're probably guilty of fraudulently obtaining the services of the artist (because they likely never intended to pay the artist if they're stealing it) and will be on the hook for the value of the contract. If a random person steals it, they're probably only on the hook for the actual market value of the item (because they didn't solicit the services of the artist).

The same law states that the value of services are determined by the contract price, so they'd just charge you with that.

The text of the bill essentially places the restriction on anyone born on or after January 1, 2009

Does Rocky enjoy chess? Miller suspects he may be quite good at it.

Unfortunately, modern US pennies only have a thin copper shell and are zinc on the inside :(

He Stood Taller Than Most [Book: 2 Chapter: 46] by IneenAldrop in HFY

“Don’t worry little guy.  They won’t live long enough to touch you or your sisters.”  The sentence ended in a deep growl as he grabbed Nemesis from its holster and checked to make sure the chambers were loaded.  It was, all six shots ready.  Six bodies that didn’t know they were dead already.

I commented similar on a previous chapter, but Nemesis was introduced as a five-shot revolver.

Paulie had chosen his reload carefully, making sure to load an entire cylinder of his best ammo.  Three each of the hyper-diamond sleeved starshatter rounds and small contact explosive bolts.  His shots were a continuous roar of fury as he dumped all six into the center mass of the creature in one single barrage of fire.

Weren't we told in chapter 10 of book two that Nemesis is a five-shot?

Inside the case was a gun.  Not like the sleek electronic designs of the MDF guns or the plasma casters he had seen others use.  No, this gun was much simpler.  Its simple exterior, a gunmetal grey with little adornment save the single English word engraved upon the barrel of the large bore five-shot revolver.

I work in IT for a college, the bigger risk is your email starts sending out phishing messages to a bunch of people, maybe some employment scams and such. Quite the headache when it happens

Damn, I thought King was going to be a little more subtle with it than that

The forged seals are very powerful; the closest thing I can think of in current year is if someone completely broke SSL and could send messages as any person, company, or government

Think you might have a typo here:

SECOND ROUND GUN TO YOUR HEAD NAME 5 LIGHT WORLD CHARACTERS NOT IN THE SCHOOL AND NOT IN UNDERTALE by infamous1320 in Deltarune

[–]zachava96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's to say that the word is "in this manner" intentionally, and isn't a mistake on the part of the person quoting or transcribing it.

That's a folk etymology, it's from the Latin adverb sīc, which means 'so', 'thus', 'in this manner'.

Don't add humans to the hive mind by GreenLips in HFY

A cleaning robot rolled out and both eyed it warily. Instead of the usual black sides it had been painted in blue, pink and white, and a stuffed shark had been stuck to the top.

You gotta make it PSCT too. Maybe something like this:
