It could be changed at any time, it might not resolve properly, the page could be hijacked, an ad blocker could decide it’s an ad and show something else instead…

That was something Disney Lawyers claimed, but was never actually agreed/enforced.

Disney backed down. They still believe they have that right, and no court has ever said they didn’t, but the bad publicity was too much for them in this case. They’ll wait until there’s a case that doesn’t get that kind of publicity before they try to establish that precedent.

You aren’t internet.

The EULA isn’t null and void, but it’s pretty meaningless. Not because you can’t reasonably be expected to copy that link into a browser to read it, but because there’s no indication that you should or even must do that.

The EULA contains no terms, it doesn’t contain any wording saying what you can or can’t do. It doesn’t say what your rights are. It just contains something that looks like a URL. So, you’re still bound by the terms of the EULA (as much as you’re bound by any EULA) but the EULA doesn’t permit or forbid anything. It’s effectively the same as if it were blank.

They’re bound to the EULA, but the EULA is meaningless because it’s just a URL. They’re definitely not bound by whatever’s at that URL.

This would be like having someone sign a contract when the contract was just a shopping list. Sure, they’re bound by the “contract”, but the contract doesn’t specify anything they can or can’t do.

Raw onion can be good. An onion and cheese sandwich, while unusual, could be good. The issue isn’t necessarily the ingredients, it’s the ridiculous thickness of the block of cheese and the onion. Even a nice sweet onion would be rough if it’s that thick, and that cheese is going to be tough to even bite through.

Even more terrifying. It means multiple people in multiple places have decided that that’s a reasonable thing to sell to people wanting to buy an edible sandwich.

No it’s not. Cheese curds are springy, almost spongey.

They’re not just little bits of chopped up cheese. If that’s what they’re selling you in Wisconsin, you’re missing out on actual cheese curds. If you’d ever have any you’d notice the difference immediately, it’s not subtle.

The photo was posted to Reddit at least a year ago

You sure? On the podcast he hosts he said that he bought this “cob” on his way to a match that happened just last weekend.

Tim Stillman lives in England and was on his way to a football match in England, so it’s probably not NY Cheddar.
