Or…Kingpin’s figured out Clint was Ronin and is cleaning up loose ends by having Eleanor - who is clearly one of his lieutenants- coordinate his liquidation. Fits the profile of a mob boss (plausible deniability for a high-profile hit), and it’s palatable for Eleanor to help her keep Kate from becoming the next…

I mean…the guy shook off prison like it was nothing after Daredevil took him down in season 1 and he survived being Punisher’s target in S2. He’s clearly not going down easily, especially versus a non-superpowered hero with a bow and/or a sword.

I’m all for that. But doing that will require some some major adjustments to the plot with Alex being dead, since the whole Alex/Bobbi storyline is a big part of the last couple novels. Not saying it can’t be done (especially after seeing how they effectively combined Drummer, Bull and Michio Pa into a single…

Counterpoint: You’re wrong, and Amazon has increased the show’s production values dramatically since it moved over from SyFy.

Part of me is super relieved that with ongoing boosters, and kids as young as 5 now being able to get vaccinated, COVID-19 should hopefully be behind us soon (or at least be reduced to a manageable endemic illness).

Great. I’m sure after legal fees, it’ll work out to like $12 a claimant.

Exactly. As long as I’m getting my work done and people can reach me by phone or email if they need something, why the hell do my boss and coworkers care what I or my surroundings look like? Does it matter that I haven’t shaved in two weeks or that I’m still in my pajamas after lunch, or that I’m working from my…

He’ll be rolling in with Elvis, Tupac and Bigfoot.

Or Nazis who are more cheerful about being Nazis?  I could see that going either way.

You have a choice as to whether you’d rather risk the actual negotiation/trade-in/transaction turning into an entire Saturday afternoon of frustration in a local car dealership, or whether you’d rather risk some uncertainty buying a car you’ve only seen online from a company that may or may not know how to deal with…

I’ve seen it said that vaccine mandates will probably do more to clear out the bad actors in most police departments than “defund the police” or any of the other police reform measures currently on the table. And I wholeheartedly agree.

I guess there are some nice improvements over the 2nd gen AirPods. But at that price point, you might as well just get the Pros and call it a day.

The endemic scenario is looking most likely. Any chance we had for “COVID zero” died last spring. If we can get enough people the vaccine, and keep some baseline level of safety protocols in place (which, let’s be honest, would probably also help limit colds, coughs, the flu, stomach bugs, etc, too), it’ll just become …

This is analogous to putting warning labels on packs of cigarettes. Well-intentioned on the surface, but completely ineffective. If you were going to heed the warning label, you probably weren’t going to use the product in the first place.

Same. My wife and I lived in a 600 sq ft apartment when we were in our early 20s. For a family of 6, I’m sure it would have been like being indefinitely stationed on a submarine. But it was perfectly fine for just the two of us - especially in a dense urban area with a lot of shared/public spaces (parks, libraries,…

Fruits, vegetables, grains, a few animals with lower resource use (like goats or chickens). The exact crops would vary by season, locality and the manpower available to sow and harvest them. Plus, you would probably still need to barter with neighbors or at a farmer’s market to round out what you had access to.

It sounds incredibly invasive and potentially very painful and expensive. But for people with debilitating depression that’s resisted every other viable therapy…it’s good to have another option.

Apple, Google and Microsoft would probably have to help if we, as a society, get serious about containing FB. They’re certainly not blameless or without some conflicts of interest in the process.  But the enemy of my enemy and all that…

Going beyond the cute/privacy nightmare debate, I don’t get the point of Astro in the first place.

Xbox gamers with GamePass who may have sat out Avengers when it launched?
