It was only off limits on the cover, but that’s been true for decades. Within the pages, he was still called Captain Marvel, and the rest were called the Marvel Family, until just a few years ago. Freddy Freeman even had to say “Captain Marvel” (not Shazam) to transform into Captain Marvel Jr., meaning he literally…

He’s not running against her or campaigning against her, but he’s still going to be on the ballot for the same office. There are going to be people who vote for him, which is going to split the Democratic vote, leading to the very real possibility of a formerly solid Democratic seat going to a Republican simply…

Google can create a program targeted at poor kids across the country (this will snag most of black and America and the rural whites) - that start in elementary school and work their way through middle and high school with full scholarships, guaranteed internships and priority in hiring once school is done.

The Disney/Fox deal was talked about in December, but it has not yet gone through. As of the latest reports I can find on it (February of this year), it may not go through at all. Unless I missed a memo, Disney has not regained the rights to any of the Marvel properties Fox owns the right to.

Oh, absolutely. I think the US love affair with giant SUVs is ridiculous. Most of the time I see them tooling around town as daily drivers, completely bereft of extra passengers or cargo. For some people, they serve no other purpose than that the person who owns it likes it. Which, whatever, I get that.

I always thought that it’d be a great idea to try and put hybrid or EV technology into these monster SUVs. Smaller cars are already getting pretty good on fuel. The Ford Focus I drive gets up to 40 mpg highway... the Prius only gets 53 highway, 58 city. Yeah, more than 25% increase in mileage, but it’s not earth…

I am now. Grew up just west of Evansville, in Mt. Vernon.

The Prepara oil sprayer is listing for $21.95 at Amazon, not $12. Is there a coupon code that I missed?

When my son was growing up, we had a large, heavy, rustic-looking coffee table. It was made of 2x6 oak, very heavy, with curved corners and no sharp edges. And we couldn’t have lived without it. The table was at the perfect height for my toddler son to kneel on his knees and eat a snack (or dinner in front of the TV,…

But it wasn’t actually about the “armed militia” being able to prevent our armed forces from turning on citizens... it was never about that, and the framers made that clear in ancillary writings. Hell, we didn’t even HAVE a real military at that time... we had nothing BUT volunteer militias, which had been called up…

Doesn’t that, kind of by definition, mean you should have been a Slytherin all along?

This is kind of what I was going to ask about here. I am a supporter of pay equality... do the same job, get the same pay, regardless of gender or race or orientation or any other factor. But I do not watch this show... is it a true ensemble show? For example, the friends on Friends, in my book, were all the…

I guess it depends on how much you love what you’re doing. If making these films and TV shows is a passion that goes deeper than just vocational obligation, I can easily understand that kind of devotion to it. For example, I am heavily involved in the local theater scene in my city. I leave my day job almost every day…

Let me just say that as a non-sports fan, I don’t actually have a dog in this fight, but there’s one comment in the article that deserves addressing just from a logic standpoint.

A) No, she was not given a warning as required by the law (written warning). “He asked me to turn off the music. The second sentence out of his mouth was, ‘You can be arrested for this.’ He then returned to his squad car.” 

Experiments like these tend to show more psychology/statistical result, really, as in, the psychology of crowds and crowdsourcing. With a large enough pool of people voting, it can show you how swarms behave. As far as economic theory... nope, not an economist at all. I understand the basics of the subject at best.…

My guess would be, he had the money to blow on the experiment, but it’s an experiment... and he wants more money in order to continue with experiments like this. While I can’t say that there’s a lot of scientific value to this type of experimentation, I’m not a scientist... and he might learn enough from this…

In the town I used to live in, the city would have the guy who came to read the water meters check your grass. If it was higher than a line marked on a stick (about 4 inches, tops), they would send you a warning to cut your grass. If on the next check it was still higher, you would get a notice that the city was…

If the teacher gave the richest kid in the class a “Most likely to become homeless” certificate, it’d still be a crappy thing to do. If the teacher gave the strongest, most well adjusted kid the “Most likely to cry about every little thing” certificate, it’d still be pretty crappy. If the teacher gave the kindest,…

“Inside jokes” with your students are one thing... “Most likely to cry over every little thing,” “Most likely to become homeless,” “Most likely to become a terrorist,”? Those aren’t inside jokes, those are insults, even if they’re based on things that happened during the school year and were laughed about with the…
