The “separation line” will prevent those climbing China’s side of the mountain to cross it, stopping them from coming in contact with anyone or anything from Nepal’s side. “The idea that anyone with coronavirus could even reach the summit is impossible because climbers with any respiratory difficulties will just not be able to reach the altitude,” mountaineering expert Ang Tshering Sherpa told the Associated Press. As COVID-19 cases and deaths in Nepal reach record highs, officials have not yet responded to China’s decision and have declined to discuss virus outbreaks on Mount Everest....

The Raptors' Amir Johnson, well aware of that, did his best to erase any chance of Leonard putting him on a poster. Judging from this GIF, I'd say he did a pretty good job of denying Leonard. [GIF via SBNation]

As previously stated, PS Plus subscriptions offer discounts on games, letting players get games cheap. Usually these PS Plus deals come on top of regular sales, meaning that already-discounted games can be picked up for even less. When it comes to the current Great Indoors sales event, players can pick up some of 2018’s biggest games, like God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2, for much less than the usual price....

The report also says that you guys are inefficient and screw up the nuts and bolts of retailing. Is that accurate? We’re talking about huge numbers of transactions, growing 90 percent in a single three-month period and delivering to customers better by far than any of our competitors. To me, that sounds like a company that executes pretty well. Why do you think the market reacted the way it did?...

The Change.org petition appears to have been started back in December 2019, months after the Pirates of the Caribbean star first sued his ex-wife over an op-ed she wrote about alleged domestic abuse. However, the petition, which is simply titled “Remove Amber Heard from Aquaman 2,” has been receiving renewed support as the former couple’s tumultuous relationship and ugly details about their marriage are aired in the courtroom. Depp’s career suffered when he was accused of domestic abuse by Heard, leading to him being partially shunned from Hollywood and recast in the Fantastic Beasts franchise....

Typically it would. But Marcos Ambrose and Casey Mears did you one better Saturday night at Richmond International Raceway. As Mears said himself, typical NASCAR fights include more slapping and fly-swatting than punches actually connecting. But Ambrose connected with his fist to Mears’ face. Mears, talking to NASCAR.com, noted that such an incident is not exactly something one just forgets. And Ambrose likely won’t forget it as well, especially if NASCAR penalizes him....

“This is one of our big sellers right now,” says Neil Edley, owner of Sugar Plum Chocolates, showing off packages of the red, white and blue popcorn that his equipment started cranking out shortly after September 11. And that’s not all: “Our American flag chocolates and American flag pretzel rods are selling great, too,” Edley adds. “This has been a very busy time for us.” (Like I’ve always said, nothing fuels America’s desire to kick Osama’s ass like corn-syrup-covered, stars-and-stripes-inspired snack food....

I’m talking, of course, about the horrifying images released this week of major league baseball bases covered with advertising for “Spider Man 2” (what, you thought I was talking about Abu Ghraib? Don’t worry, I’ll get there). The reaction to Major League Baseball’s “Spider Man 2” promo plan was, predictably, outrage. For an entire news cycle, it seemed as if there was no other story in the country. Everyone from former baseball commissioner Fay Vincent to former relevant person Ralph Nader rose in such anger that the plan was scrapped....

That question is explored in an upcoming book, Chasing Icebergs: How Frozen Freshwater Can Save the Planet, by Matthew Birkhold, a professor at Ohio State University who focuses on law, environmental humanities, intellectual property and Indigenous studies. Large swaths of the western United States are facing a water crisis because of a megadrought that has lasted more than two decades. Water stress is affecting a number of communities in the country amid drought conditions, and some are being pushed to the brink....

A majority of Americans, 56 percent, say humans should address climate change through tangible actions “right now,” according to a CBS News poll released Sunday. A two-thirds majority of Americans say they believe humans can do something about climate change, but nearly 1-in-5 U.S. adults surveyed say climate change “doesn’t need to be addressed” at all. While 64 percent of Americans said they believe climate change is a “crisis/serious problem,” people are far more split on the causes behind it and the information they receive....

Depp, aged 59, sued ex-wife Heard, 36, for $50 million over a 2018 op-ed in The Washington Post, in which she said that she was a domestic abuse survivor—a claim the jury found to be false and defamatory. Following a six-week trial, the jury on June 1 awarded Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages. The judge adjusted the punitive damages to $350,000, as Virginia law limits punitive damages....

Heard, 36, announced Monday that she would settle the case after a Virginia court ruled in favor of Depp, 59 who had sued her for $50 million over a 2018 op-ed for The Washington Post. She wrote in the op-ed that she was a domestic abuse survivor, but did not name her abuser. Heard countersued for $100 million, but Depp’s lawyers argued that it was obvious she was referring to the actor....
