“Dramatically we use that. The death of so many people is used dramatically in our story because basically, it adds to the guilt and the trauma of Barry Allen...” by arbitrarily moving the engine away from the city, which significantly reduces deaths... Read more
Thanks for the context. All too often, in click-bait driven online posts, the largest result of an action are pinned as the largest, or sole, cause of an action. It would have been all too easy to simply say Disney was playing hardball against someone who picked a fight that threatened profits and curtailed business… Read more
Thanks for the confirmation. I haven’t actually had occasion to test it myself, but it seemed simple and safe enough. As a bonus, your costs seem to blow up the cost amortization benefit of expensing a $130 tank. Read more
Get OP’s big cannister of CO2, or (as others here suggest) other sized cannisters of CO2, ... how about no additional cannisters. Read more
I agree, but comics are fixated on the idea of replacing OG top-tier heroes with a new generation. Unfortunately, the willpower to resist monthly sales numbers almost always subverts this. Read more
Sounds like ‘right direction’ thinking, but at the same time ‘feel that rage’ has been the reaction to several DCU movies over the disrespect given to the characters. I kinda wish JG would go silent on DCU plans since many of his vague comments have fueled more friction in the fan community. Silent until something he… Read more
Regarding the poignant callback of Rocket past theft of arms, legs, eyes, batteries, and other cyber-tech elements now being tied to the even further past Tragic Batch Kids. Maybe it was planned, maybe a joke that evolved into an opportunity, or maybe something between. But also adding in Nebula’s Rocket-upgraded-arm… Read more
Best thing in Phase IV/V so far. Lots of over-the-top, emotional, and visually ‘looked cool’ moments. I heard some gripes that it pulled too long and hard on heartstrings, and I see that, but I also saw some restraint, balance, and skilled story development with solid payoffs. Read more
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Read more

Not on the top list, but it’s in the graphic. I don’t know that Coke II was an actual failure as much as many think. Coke was removed from the market, Coke II promoted as the new Coke, Coke classic returned to the shelves after angry demands, and Coke II phased out over years. What many don’t realize is that the Coke… Read more
I do enjoy the youtube videos put out by Peter Zeihan. He does make some very big predictions (China collapse, war outcomes, etc...) which may or may not be worth a grain of salt. But his demographic series, discussion of commodities and import/export, and the historical reasons Russia has been aggressive toward… Read more
I remember when Satellite TV launched and the promise was there would be so many channels, there could be channels for all kinds of special interests like an Opera channel. When the Internet exploded and modern tech nostradamus Bill Gates book The Road Ahead barely mentioned it. When digital currencies first appeared… Read more
I don’t know that we’ll be ultimately denied the courtroom drama. True, Fox could pay whatever to settle every one of its cases and likely have money left over. Read more
It’s funny how I often wind up agreeing with the substance or sentiment of the headline here, but not the header synopsis, or vice versa, of these posts. Read more
In dramatic fiction, the AI will always have human traits, and often the worst or most indifferent to human wellbeing. Read more
Least ozone and lowest short-term fine particle pollution all a-b and a-c cities. Clearly, scientists should study why pollution prefers cities later in the alphabet. Stop environmental alphabetic bias. Read more
In the comics, she did physically deplete herself, but only after heroically massive energy discharges, so the energy was, at least partly from her own mass. Read more
Can’t disagree with that cuz history. Read more
