I refuse to watch a Marvel movie until they make an Asbestos Lady movie and then that will be my favorite. https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Victoria_Murdock_(Earth-616)
Until then, they all suck equally.

Bitcoin isn’t destined to go up because supply is theoretically set. Demand could easily disappear and there could be a massive sell-off that puts more supply out there. It’s easy to imagine BTC mining being banned in a major country because it’s incompatible with carbon emission goals, raises electricity bills, puts pressure of electricity grids, facilitates money laundering, or any number of things. That would trigger a sell-off and unless some whale is capable of being the unofficial central bank, there’s nothing to stop it.
I know a guy who once held the Guinness world record for the loudest whistle. It was eventually topped — records are made to be broken — but he held the title for a couple of years.
He’s known as “Whistle Monsta” and NFL fans might know him from Saints games. He’s a long time season ticket holder and they show him on TV a lot.
They aren’t independent companies. Marvel is a Disney brand and DC is Warner Bros. Discovery. You might be able to get a rough estimate from their parent companies’ quarterly reports but to my knowledge, they don’t report it that way. (Like Disney usually breaks things down by “experiences,” “entertainment,” “streaming,” etc. for investors, who aren’t really concerned if the movies are branded as Marvel, Pixar, or Disney).
Definitely! Get your hopes up as much as possible and pre-order the mega tycoon edition the second they let you.
I guess I’m gonna have to start practicing a New Zealand accent so I can travel in peace. G’day, mate! Wait, no. That’s wrong.
Is there a Duolingo for picking up an accent? Or maybe I can do something else. How much Buckfast do I need to drink before I sound Scottish?
Sanctions against America are enforced by the only country that can defeat America: itself. And if that doesn’t work, maybe like a unified Taliban and Viet Cong coalition? I’m not sure. We’ll cross that bridge when we get there.
Don’t forget that it’s essentially owned by the Falun Gong cult/religion. The Washington Times is similarly run by a cult/religion (the Unification Church aka Moonies).
The line between cult and religion is obviously blurry so I’ll leave it as an exercise to the reader to form their own opinions on Falun Gong and Unification Church.
He clearly doesn’t understand how office politics works. If I’m taking a Zoom call at the beach, I want my camera on so I can flex on everyone in the office or home in their pajamas. I hope the CEO joins the call and sees me in my shades so I can get promoted to VP of Staying Light and Keeping it Tight.
Not mine. Mine so big, they got their own municipal recycling program.
It’s a meaningless term for web developers, just as Web 2.0 was. It’s supposed to mean decentralized services and it was sort of hijacked by crypto companies for marketing purposes. Blockchain isn’t a particularly useful technology outside of its niches of cryptocurrency and gimmicks (like NFTs or whatever) and isn’t used by 99% of web projects. (There’s no Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc. blockchain, after all.)
I’ve been a web dev for decades now and to me, Web 1.0 was basically the era when people posted their own content on their own web sites. Web 2.0 was a marketing term used by social media companies to describe a new era where even non-tech savvy users could post content on MySpace, LiveJournal, Facebook, etc. There was no major tech advancement. Web 3.0 is supposed to be an era where even average users can take advantage of decentralized services. Again, nothing major tech-wise.
In terms of actual technology, there’s been significant shifts like CSS 3, HTML 5, ECMAScript 6 (JavaScript’s standard, which has evolved a lot recently) and others. Server-side web tech has also changed a lot over the years. Most web sites probably still use PHP — Wordpress is surprisingly ubiquitous — but NodeJS, Ruby, Python, and other languages have had major advancements. Those (and several others) are the ones actual web developers cared about.
TL/DR: Web 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 are just marketing terms with vague meanings to describe shifts in web culture, not web technology.
It means their nose is dirty and if your nose is dirty, they’ll say it with words.
Molecular gastronomy.
Maybe try the recipe before you talk shit, you scaredy cats.
I was hired to ghostwrite Alanis Morissette’s “Ironic” but then her accountant got strange with my change so I sent them a version where nothing was actually ironic. And then they actually liked it and released it. How the fuck is “rain on your wedding day” even supposed to be ironic? It was supposed to be a “fuck you” and they ran with it.
If anyone is curious, it’s an American thing: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negotiated_rulemaking
Most bills are vague and give regulatory agencies leeway on how to interpret them. It’s like Congress passes a law that says, “No cookies after 8pm.” and a regulatory agency has to decide what is a cookie and which time zone and how to enforce it. A lot of actual policy happens during the rule making progress (called “reg neg”).
I worked in politics and have a degree in international affairs so people definitely argue about that. But I got good enough at coding and Linux that it became my career and people tend to trust me on that stuff.
There’s certain fields where everyone thinks they’d be good at it and they’re wrong. Voice acting is probably one. Seems easy but it’s really fucking not. And most people who think they understand politics don’t know basics about how legislative committees work, much less negotiated rulemaking.
US Attorney Damian Williams said the scheme was so sophisticated that it “calls the very integrity of the blockchain into question.”
If that’s actually true, they should be given a sentence of time served and a job writing useful software.
This isn’t what you’re looking for but don’t dream of being a businessman. Dream of making something that solves a problem in people’s lives. Definitely learn about business. You need both. If you just want some money, go to an elite college and go into corporate law or finance. But you’re never going to become for real rich if you don’t solve a problem.
I’m actually George Clooney. (This is my alt.) And if you think you get a lot of texts from politicians begging for money, try being me. I had to turn on my burner phone for my wife my because her bestie said men with two phones cheat. I was like, “I’m not fucking the entire Democratic Party, Amal. If I gave them my real number, my iPhone would buzz every 2 seconds like this Boost Mobile one. We’d have to use walkie-talkies to plan dinner.”
Quiet and peaceful is underrated.
