    Star Wars

    Well, now that they also own the Alien Franchise, we could have a Crossover. Vader Vs. Alien. But since this is Disney the Frozen princess would show up at the end and conquer them using the power of love. ;)

    Star Wars

    **Spoiler** I though that the "Force Awakens" marketing was very misleading: They focused a lot on the "Old" heroes, and they didn't even get a scene together (Don't get me wrong, it's a fun movie, I liked it, but I think they relied to much on the old saga and actors during the marketing...

    Best Protection for This Event, for Someone with High and Low Frequency Tinnitus?

    The thingy is to help you insert the plugs into your ears. the outer end of the plug fits in the thingy. Then you pull up your ear a bit with one hand, and with the other you insert the plug with the thingy. It's easy, you'll get used to it in no time.

    Best Protection for This Event, for Someone with High and Low Frequency Tinnitus?

    You need to insert them pretty good with the thingy that comes with it. It gets softer after a while. You'll probably get used to them in a while.
