To add extra weight to this comment. It is a common tactic to attempt to "bounce" a batter out, which basically means bowling with enough speed at such a short length that it comes towards the body, and especially, the head. If a batter is unprepared, it usually requires getting out of the way because trying to play a shot is likely to end up with you getting out or struck by the ball.

The ball is much harder and denser than a baseball and even a famous up and coming professional, international, batter died when he failed to get out of the way and was struck in the head.

Basically, there is a very real safety concern for players when it comes to something like this.

I guess the idea is that if a person is giving you zero ad revenue, then them switching to a diff browser instead of removing ad blocker doesn't change your equation.

But if any of them do just turn off the ad blocker it's a win...

However I'm not sure if they lose other revenue because they don't use chrome (like data tracking info)

Thomas Jane was also fantastic. Same with Jared Harris. Shame they couldn't secure him for later appearances, his character is great and he did the belta accent so well.

I guess in terms of an actual weightless object... Not... But if you have 2 equal weight items, call their combined weight 1 weight unit, take one away, that's half a weight unit, take two away, that's zero weight units.

Ironically the main actress is a New Zealander.

Also wasn't aware aussie/kiwi accents were a fantasy trope, especially as those countries didn't really participate in the medieval period.

Yeah this blows my mind. If you wouldn't allow a paranoid schizophrenic to hold office, why are you allowing people who think the earth is 6000 years old and dinosaurs aren't real?

I mean, 69ing for a hour as payment could work for some people.

Wait, it's she alive? The wording in the article makes it sound like she's dead.

I'm pretty sure they get more money from people freely giving them data using a lot of their services (maps, search) than they'd get if they gatekept searching with a, subscription that people opted out of.

I realise you're being facetious and I do agree with your sentiment... But I guess if this was true we could/should look at potential other, cheaper, alternatives (like invest in more wave abs geothermal power)

Conspiracy became full right wing propaganda quite a while ago. Pictures of Clinton with epstein would get a billion upvotes but there were never any ones of Trump despite him being more relevant
