Now I feel old. I still see the wacky brother from Wings and am waiting for the hilarious screw ups to occur.

The US military budget is actually more than what NASA has gotten in 50+ years.

I call him Brother Michael still as well.

I think that’s the only logical thing, though it might also smack of elitism (at least with those filthy mutants). Shared responsibility, experience, and ongoing reality. I do think the biggest problem with Flash type scenarios is he drops the Flash bomb on everyone. Real efforts to maintain secrecy, even with people…

I loved how Ultimate Spider-Man handled this. He basically told MJ right away, and every other character who could kind of figured it out on their own. Peter wasn’t stupid about keeping his identity a secret, but he wasn’t very careful either.

Yey the gods are good! Can we also fit the gay dads AU in there some how?

I suppose one way to deal with it in a semi-responsible manner is to keep it a secret when you first start dating but if the relationship looks like it’s got some long-term potential to break it out, with the up-front statement that it’s a big secret.

I have to commend the show for making the energy drink people into proper villains, given how many people in the supplement industry today are basically just putting whatever they feel like into their products without any oversight

I don’t find this a very convincing case of why the bad science matters. I have no trouble understanding why it bothers you as a scientist, but we are talking about a Hollywood that continues to drag out the “we use only 5-10% of our brain” concept every few years. That’s stupid, but it doesn’t matter—because this is…

There’s probably an awful hedge fund that also invests in this stuff.

Wish I could say I was a tremendous Lee fan, but until Lord of the Rings and the Star Wars prequels he was just one of those British character actors that lurked on the edges of programming I watched. Which left me surprised that I’m actually really bummed at his passing. In looking through his roles, I found one that…

And make their Zords humans of varied ethnicities and cliched archetypes!

I still remember this one from high school and being amazed at how little time humans had been around compared to the history of the earth.

this, and every similar diagram in every biology textbook ever. as good as I was in biology classes, text descriptions were useless and diagrams of what was literally going on was the only I could ever learn/retain anything about processes.

I learned cursive through 3rd grade believe, but I will echo that my printing is atrocious and my cursive just looked like a Jackson Pollack painting.

I was trying to think of what’s best in NC but I think you nailed it! I was going to say Cheerwine, but I’m not certain that’s what they mean.

I fully admit to driving 2 hours or whatever from Raleigh to Lexington for the sole purpose of eating at the Honeymonk (and bringing back a shitton of barbecue with me to go).

Buuuuut... Eastern or Western? Cause them’s fightin words.
