Oh, and we have an electric stove from 1956! It came with the house. It's a big one, with warming drawers and everything.

I have one of those black portable audio cassette players, about 9x6", and a large shoebox full of cassettes that I play on it. In it? Anyway, I don't use it often, but I do still use it. I also have this little portable tv/radio I bought for $1 recently that partly works. Trying to figure out...

I picked "3", and then read the first post! :D Thwen I changed my vote to "4". D&D 5E has a level and type of complexity that I dislike, and because I know it well I think placing it at level 6 makes sense - although it does beg the question "if 5E is a 6, what lies at 7, 8, and 9 before we get...

66.67% of vampires: not evil.

People are talking about how the shot of Ben when he's shaking hands with M'Baku is framed oddly, as if one or more characters were removed from the shot for this latest teaser. Maybe other members of the FF? In fact, Sue could be there - but invisible!!! 😉 So now I'm going to assume that Sue...

The "AI Overview will be equally wordy regardless of how much information it has found (let alone how much reliable information it has found). Basically, it's set up to make you think it's providing a lot of utility, even when it's not.

We clearly experienced that differently. Loki season 1 was Disney+' most successful series at the time, and season 2 had a ~35% drop from that. So, plenty of people watched it.

Jonathan Majors is quietly menacing in Quantumania, and really interesting in Loki season 2, but that movie has conceptual problems and story problems. That compounded with Major's harassment and assault convictions to sour the whole thing. Recasting and continuing to focus on Kang would have...

Based on the comics, the premise of these movies, and Namor's disposition in Wakanda Forver, it's not hard to imagine Namor working with Doom...for a while...

...and a hapless Reed trying to figure out what to do about it - that whole thing could be a nice little source of drama/comedy. I can see Sue nemused at Reed as he tries to nerd-ily out-macho Namor.

Seeing ANH way back when, I just assumed Ben was wearing weather-appropriate desert-y robes. Then TPM comes out and I'm like "HUH-uh?!?!?" Makes no sense any way you slice it...unless the Jedi took to wearing desert robes for some cultural reason (did the Jedi start out on a desert planet?) and...

The thing about Ben "hiding" in his Jedi robes is a real head-scratcher.

Maybe there's are no lawyers in SW, so there are no regulations about where dangerous buildings/rooms/chambers/pits can be located and no one has to spend time or money preventing people from falling into them. Maybe he went full Death Star after realizing how much darn trouble a galactic...

Weren't there some gigantic ones in the comics recently - and by "recently" I mean "in the last 25 years", because I'm old.

I wonder what Reed will do to push Doom to his limit, whereupon Doom clenches his fists and yells "RICHARDS!!!"
