Those of you who have DVR/Tivo probably have gotten used to skipping the commercials. Obviously, advertisers and TV stations don’t appreciate this, as alot of their revenue because of this.
Advertisers have found ways to include ads in new ways. Product placement comes to mind, where they put a pepsi can in the scene of your [...]

DC enacted a ban on handguns and requiring strict rules for keeping shotguns. The Supreme Court is going to rule on whether that is against the second amendment, or whether the second amendment only allows for militias to keep weapons.

So, not much to do on break after law school. I appreciate that though- doing tasks with the least amount of mental use possible is a welcome change. Basically, I’ve been parked on my dad’s couch watching a ton of football so far.
