Thought it was clear: I wrote a reply, realized it was inaccurate, and so removed it. If there’s a way to delete a post rather than just editing it, I don’t remember what it is.

<deleted for inaccuracy>

“I write the total amount of my bill including tip below the numeric total and above the signature line like one would write it on a check. Every time.” I may be missing something here, but how else do you do it? Is the normal thing to just write the tip amount in and then not write the total on the total line?

Ben Affleck is Quantum and/or Woody

It’s a shame that they started off with their version of Dark Knight Returns, because otherwise: Michael Keaton for Old Batman.

Oh god, I just watched that clip and she’s definitely going to be president.

So “a Bruce Springsteen song” then.

I’ve never had Steak-umms, but I love this article. 

Just do a red carpet leading to an after-party, where one former Oscar-winner chosen at random gets behind a podium and reads off the names of the winners. 

Bring on the hosting team the Oscars deserve: James Franco and Ricky Gervais. 

I really wanted my next car to be a plug-in hybrid wagon, but all the plug-in hybrids on the market seem to be too small, too big, or too expensive.  One of those VWs might be a viable alternative. 

Ha, I saw people making jokes about the Kominsky Record on Twitter. I did not know it was a show.

Cool that the trailer also managed in just a few seconds to summarize the 2018 internet.

I always get this movie confused with Disturbing Behavior and at the time, I think I liked that one better. Haven’t seen either in the intervening decades though. 

I didn’t do a ton of reading this year, but I tore through Harry Connolly’s Twenty Palaces series (Currently 4 novels and two novellas) in about a week and a half this summer. I don’t know if this is a real genre, but I’d describe them as Hard-Boiled Fantasy.  (This may not be a reference that helps anyone, but I hear…

Yep.

At least putting “Ram” or “Dodge” on the front of a truck tells pedestrians what it’s for and what they’ll probably need to do.

Well DC did/does have a Captain Marvel, though I understand they call him Shazam now.  (And Nintendo had “Captain N: The Gamemaster” - which was kind of stupid and bad to be fair.)

From the trailer I’d’ve assumed Yon-Rogg

Looks like they’re merging/streamlining Carol’s story and Mar-Vell’s. And her memory loss won’t be the result of Rogue absorbing her whole personality for obvious reasons. Changes that are probably necessary because otherwise her backstory would be a total clusterfuck.
