By that logic you would also need to ban car a/c controls, car stereos, maps, mirrors, makeup, food, purses, wallets, combs, and brushes. They have all been contributing factors to accidents caused by distracted drivers. But there is one thing common to all of them, humans getting distracted by stupid shit and getting…

What I got out of the conversation is that he was already the Black Panther and defender of Wakanda, but now he was also the king and that would make it even more difficult for Steve to keep Bucky alive.

A touch of frost could also refer to Killer Frost.

I like you Stuart, you’re not like the others, here, in the trailer park.

It has nasty, sickening aftertaste that lingers long after the sweetness has faded. I have yet to find one artificial sweetener that doesn’t have it. Sucralose is the least objectionable of an objectionable lot.

He’s not a Baum character, he’s Hawkeye from M.A.S.H.

How many hours did it take him to learn in the first place? He didn’t just show up ready to roll, it took many years of dedicated practice to do what he does.

Nuclear power is certainly the *prettiest* of the bunch.

I agree 100% on Ex-Machina. Even in the end when everything was going down, I still empathized with Eva.

This also reminded me of Aeon Flux. She was often shown being regenerated in a high tech medical bed.

I hadn’t heard of this, but the last line sold me.

The first few minutes and I was all, yeah that's cool man, but then it was oh.. holy shi.. wow.

That sound! Makes you cringe for days.

Same thing with my chihuahua mix, he does the usual bravado barking with most dogs until he gets to know them, but my neighbor's pug tried to bite him and now he loses his shit if even smells that the pug has passed by recently. If that isn't hate, I don't know what is.

I would watch the hell out of that if it was a movie!

This pretty much says all that needs to be said about Australia. :-P

Is that you Azathoth?

Check out the Bolo stories by Keith Laumer. Quite often the AI tanks in those stories are the heroes, an quite sympathetic despite being killing machines of untold power.

I have noticed it a lot in his other articles and I find it incredibly distracting. It's not always used in the same grammatical way either, sometimes it's used in place of 'that', while others it is uses to replace 'which'. I don't remember which article, but in one of them he did it 5 or 6 times in the space of 3…
