“No ma’am, according to cladistic phylogeny, we ARE monkeys”

I dont think they’re getting worse. I think Marvel is leaning more into the cartoony/fantasy aspect of the movies. That makes the CGI looks weird compared to earlier movies where they were more grounded since theres no frame of reference to mimic. 

Yup.

I have to disagree with that last dig at cats. Many cats will bring home a dead mouse or bird and present it to their human, or leave a half-eaten mouse on their pillow. If that’s not sharing their kill, I don’t know what is.

Good. She’s been consistently great in her performances to date. Haters be damned.

Fingers crossed.

CNBC supposes they might move to Texas, with plentiful energy and lax regulations.

There are different cryptos just as there are different types of crude oil

It’s Magic: The Gathering cards with a significantly higher environmental cost.

Again, for something to be a commodity it would need to have a purpose. Commodities are typically raw materials or farm products. Cryptocurrencies do not have a purpose except as an investment vehicle (and money laundering, and other criminal activities for that matter). Will that change in the future? Maybe, but I…

Cryptocurrencies are very much not a commodity. Oil and farm commodities are resources that are used in production. Cryptocurrencies are used for... money laundering? I have no idea to be honest.

It’s a farce that consumes more electricity than a major country, much of it sourced from fossil fuels. And I have the feeling that there’s a big overlap between crypto fanboys and folks who yell about electric cars not being “green” because of power production.

“Ponzi Schemes”? I time and again hope for some sort of journalistic integrity and fairness in the writing of GMG articles, but obviously I’m deluding myself. If you don’t like crypto, fine, but don’t be shortsighted enough to write it off as a farce.

“journalistic integrity and fairness”....this is a blog post on a blog site, not the Washington Post.

If spending a lot of time on this site, you may want to read the author names and remember that they have their own perspectives, and that informs their writing.

Then, you wouldn’t be clutching your ‘fairness pearls’ th…

Specifically, taking a step back from the technobabble aspects: this is (part of) exactly why we have fiat currencies now. Because resource-based ‘hard’ currency, whether it’s backed by gold or by cowrie shells or by data widgets, is vulnerable to rapid and unpredictable changes in value due to bottlenecks (or sudden…

Not really fair. We’re in terms of service overload. Everything has one, they’re all 15 pages long, they’re all 95% the same and the words are English but the language isn’t.

If your family is sweating at 78 degrees and you’re worried about them dehydrating, you and your fellow penguins need to move back to Antarctica.

Prediction (that won’t come to pass): Sharon is posing as The Power Broker for Fury in order to flush out the real Power Broker OR this ‘Sharon’ is a Skrull

The upper atmosphere is a dynamic region that constantly changes due to solar output. The decay rate is a type of deal that is somewhat exponential, so a slight increase in drag early in the process can shave a lot of time off the process. All objects bigger than a softball are tracked, so this pallet of batteries…

I’ve been on board with this since Season 2 of Discovery.
