    Could be if the extras were not originally billed as speaking parts, the threat was too not upgrade them to the pay grade for speaking parts.

    I know in SAG-AFTRA productions there’s a limit to how many words you can speak on camera before you have to get a SAG card, that usually comes with an upgrade in pay and benefits.







  • Dude, all the work is in the maps, and they generally sell them proportional to the amount of map content. There are two benefits:

    1. Studio doesn’t have to staff up to do all the content at once, but they still get paid periodically for what they do produce. This keeps the staff employed longer in a more stable position.

    2. You can pick and choose which areas you want to get. If you want a big bundle, those still show up on Steam too at various levels of discount. But you’re not locked into having to deal with Ohio too.









  • “Writ of habeas corpus” is a court order to a government law enforcement organization to bring the (hopefully still alive) body of a prisoner into the court room, so the court can determine whether the prisoner is rightfully detained. It is one mechanism that prevents the United States from holding political prisoners with no charges or hearings.

    Corpus delicti is the murder thing.

    The right of habeas corpus refers generally to the right of the law courts to supervise the detention of prisoners. And by extension to right of citizens to petition the courts to release an improperly detained prisoner.

    Habeas corpus is explicitly written into the Constitution, so you can’t just repeal it by legislation like how this knucklehead is suggesting. You can suspend habeas corpus during war; that’s a specific exception in the Constitution that’s actually happened at various times in various wars.
