Even if he did shoot one for Spider-Man (and given that they had to redub his audio for Captain Marvel, if he shot one that was usable) it makes a certain amount of sense to stop with Endgame, since it’s being billed as something of a narrative end point as well.

I generally store them in the comments of the related password entry in my password file. I also adjust the values of the codes using a simple-to-reverse pattern before adding to the password file.

Personally, I wouldn’t be too concerned about AMP; in fact, I think it’ll probably wind up being a convenient change that general users will welcome.

Vallejo Police have claimed that the officers fired into McCoy’s vehicle due to fear for their own safety.

I don’t think I’ve ever had French Onion with chicken broth instead of beef.  Or have I been horribly horribly wrong this whole time about what I was eating?

My favorite drive through story involves being able to see the customers, not hear them.

Order through their app. It works well, and usually I’m in and out in a couple minutes. Most of the time is spent filling up the soda and waiting for a gap at the register to drop in a tip.

Your ballot is great when the printer works (at least two voting machines at my precinct last fall weren’t, with the printed record being illegible, but the machines kept taking votes until I made the poll workers take them out of service) and the voter decides to double check every entry printed—which clearly they

Yes, language is encoded data. One to which everyone has a key and can interpret without relying on a third party.

It’s not about “does the bar code match my intent.” It’s about “does the program counting the bar codes care about my intent.” The voting machine can encode that I voted for candidate A while the counting box flips 50% of those votes to candidate B.

A bar code is encoded data.  You have to trust the code that decodes it.  If we could trust arbitrary code, voting machines wouldn’t be a problem.

Hell, the ACLU could even write an app that you can download on your phone that reads your ballot bar code so you could verify that the name you can already read and the vote you cast match.

JFC. Is that guy seriously trying to link himself to Boss Hogg of Dukes of Hazzard in a positive sense?

If the place is known for their fried chicken, they’re probably making a lot of it on a holiday. Large batches, or constantly cooking it, or both. Maybe it was a quirk of the kitchen having made a bit extra. If the quality of the food is good, no reason to assume you’re getting someone’s rejected plate or hour old

Using your fingerprint (data you leave literally everywhere you go without thinking about it) as a password remains a spectacularly stupid idea, and anyone who advocates for it is doing people a disservice.

There are times when I need the endorphin hit more than the calories, and I could see stuff like this being useful, if I needed endorphin hits less often.

Was it ever established that he knew, or even had reason to suspect, that one or more of his correspondents was underage?

Depends. Bluetooth leaks a certain amount of information to be visible to other devices. (The changes mentioned above might improve that, but I haven’t dug into it.)  It’s not designed to let other people be able to follow your devices around, but it’s possible. It’s why newer Android versions insist that you turn on

What does Domino’s have to do with pizza?

Errata has been a thing in card games for ever.  So have rules document that explain--and change--how a card is played.
