Qlwn How Chucky Opens a New Chapter for the Cult Series While Staying True to Its (Bloody) Roots
Kids and adults go fucking nuts for those snappy plastic bricks, but it appears the limit for Lego does, in fact, exist. Legos air max 96 annual sales dropped for the first time in 13 years because it had a surplus of stock, the brick maker announced today. Lego had too much merchandise both in stores and in its distribution centers last year, a spokesperson told the BBC. There wasnt enough room to get 2017 toys into the stores, and the toy trade is driven by newness, the spokesperson added. Lego saw an eight percent drop in its revenue last year, with sales especially bleak in North America and Europe last year, falling 17 percent. While the company bragged about launching hundreds of new products in 2016, there may simply be a limit to just how many plastic bricks a kid or adult might need. Households can have too many Lego products and not want more each year, Euromonitor toy analyst Matthew Hudak told CNN. A Lego spokesperson, ho chanclas yeezy wever, told Gizmodo in an email that while annual revenue dropped, consumer sales remained steady. Lego also attributed the decline to essentially trying to do too much. The company has expanded beyond just toys and into areas like film and video games, of which some were a total bust. So rather than watch tangible toys collect dust in warehouses, CEO Niels B. Christiansen told the Los Angeles Times that the company is going to focus on digital efforts鈥攖oys that l adidas sambarose ive inside kids screens.

Instead, a new fusion pairing a reebok laufschuhe ctually gave us the chance for some strife between the Gems鈥攁nd it turns out tha salomon zapatillas t they are just as fascinating apart as they are together. Cry For Help Cry for Help introduces us to the fusion of Pearl and Garnet, Sardonyx, a haughty yet grand combination voiced to perfection by Alexia Khadime as the Gems tried to take down a communication tower the stranded Peridot was using to contact the Gem Homeworld. While the main objective was pretty clear, that actual thrust of the story looked beyond Sardonyx and to the Crystal Gems relationship with fusion instead.

Growing up in rural Oregon, Erin Lauridsen didnt have a lot of contact with blind people like herself. She recalls there being one other blind person in her town, but they were much older and, unlike Lauridsen, had lost their vision later in life. So when her family got dial-up internet during her high school years in the late 90s, she said the first thing she did was find other blind students online, people she could relate to who were already out in the world living their lives. She read their stories. She got to know them. The World Wide Webs first role for me was connecting with community and kind of helping me figure out how I was going to get out in the broader world, she told Gizmodo.

Every so often, you come across a comic that throws you for the sort of loop that makes you pause a few pages in and think, I wasnt at all prepared for how damned good this is. Atari and Dynamites new Centipede series, based聽on the classic 1980s video game, is definitely one of those comics. You wouldnt initially think too much plot could be derived from an 8-bit game about shooting a pea gun at a bug, and yet writer Max Bemis and artist Eoin Marron conjure a world in which the titular centipede isnt just a creepy pest with an ungodly number of legs, but also a living calamity thats eaten a world. Picture in your minds eye a cross between the garg crocs winterstiefel antuan sandworms of Dune and a nimble, mobile version of Star Wars sarlacci.

In the mythos of Star Wars cosmic energies, the ability to exist after death as a Force Ghost is one of the most rare and powerful abilities a wielder of the Force can master.

At this stage, it feels like the browser wars have been fought and won. Most of you probably use Chrome or Firefox, and a sad few of you may even use Internet Explorer. But theres salomonschuhe a new browser in town, and it actually has some features worth sitting up and take notice of. Vivaldi has been around for more than a year in the alpha and beta stages, but it recently hit the version 1.0 milestone. Founded by ex-Opera chief Jon von Tetzchner, its squarely aimed at power users, meaning its loaded with extra features for browsing crocs hausschuhe pros. Its available for Windows, Mac and Linux too. Here are five reasons we prefer Vivaldi over any other browser. 1 Tab Stacking Weve all been stuck in browser tab hell before: That moment when youve opened way too many tabs up in your browser, and you cant find that one website you were just looking at. Vivaldi has a great feature called Tab Stacking that tries to prevent that from happening. Tab Stacking lets you create folders of tabs like folders of apps on your phones home screen . Just drag one tab on top of another and youve got yourself a tab stack. You might want to group together tabs from the same site, for example, or tabs that are centered around the same topic. You can keep all your social media tabs in one stack and all your wor adidas originals k-related tabs in another stack.

After analyzing the 75-million-year-old remains of a raptor couple likely killed in sand dune collapse, a Canadian paleontologist has discovered dramatic physical differences between the two, a possible sign of sexual dimorphism in the species, and further evidence that these dinos partook in elaborate mating rituals. The remarkably well-preserved fossil, which was found in Mongolia Gobi Desert, was analyzed by University of Alberta Ph.D graduate student Scott Persons. A few years ago, Persons co-authored a study showing that oviraptors, among other dinosaurs, featured large tail feathersthat were probably used to attract mates, similar to what peacocks do today.

The speed of light is fast, but the solar system is very, very big. This video explores the intersection of scales by travelling through an idealized version of our solar system at the speed of light, starting at the surface of the sun and heading to Jupiter over 45 minutes. It a common factoid that if the sun were suddenly vanish, it ;d be minutes before the light reached us for us to learn of its absence, and the trials of communication lag constantly haunt our efforts at robotic exploration. But it hard to intuitively grasp that, to really understand how freakishly huge space is even when travelling at light speed. This video by Alphonse Swinehart helps by exploring the solar syst air force one em by hitching a ride on a photon leaving the sun, keeping a consistent scale between the size of objects and distances between them. This is similar in concept to the fixed-scale interactive from last year, If The Moon Was Only One Pixel, where both the size of astronomical objects and the distances between them were kept to t adidas originals he same scale, except with the added factor of travelling at light speed.
