Hitting was bigger, but notice nobody has their head down up against the wall or in the corner. They protected themselves rather than trusting the refs to do so.

I know the feeling.

In Estonia, you can still get an old fashioned Motorola stick phone without a camera or GPS. They remember the Soviets over there.

I think the trend away from carrying a tracking device will only fade after we've deposed and imprisoned trump, eliminated the republican party, and put all the MAGA assholes in prison or a grave. Millions of them.

I certainly hope the trend of making it harder for the authorities to know everything about you continues.

@ultraviolence

Ha. Funny mistake, tho.

Thanks.

@Slatlun

Thank you!

I'm a huge fan of King's early stuff and had read the 800p "The Stand" half a dozen times before the 1200p version was released. I didn't notice anything in the long form that added to the story. I say his editors were right to cut it the first time.

This is an unpopular opinion, but I really think you can skip 400 pages without losing anything.

@KanadrAllegria

As far as pandemic themed books, "The Stand" by Stephen King wears the crown.

"The Andromeda Strain" by Michael Crichton isn't bad, either.
