Aren’t they planning another one? They’ve got a chance to bring the title back home.

Any Brits care to explain to a Yank what it means when it says the conservative candidate “lost his deposit”?

I was JUST thinking about taking my son to see it for his first theater film. Guess that settles it

Exactly, each keystroke is an atomic task! Doesn’t that make you feel more productive?

I’d argue that if it’s possible to only partially complete it, it wasn’t an atomic task to begin with.

The only ideal that type of company has at its heart is the pursuit of profit. If they see a real cure that costs less than the long term “maintenance” care they would be all over it. If not, then not.

Novel cancer treatments aren’t a terribly good comparison in my opinion. Rarely does a single one in isolation offer a clear and permanent cure - though with any categorization that broad there are of course exceptions.

Hell, when scientists identify care that is likely enough to prevent the need of reactive treatment insurance companies often make it free to lower their overall costs - teeth cleaning and flu shots for example. That’s not altruism on their part, it’s economics.

Oh totally, and one player can readily dip in and dip out if you’ve got differing interest levels.
