Yeah, mineral oil isnt conductive, and one offs submerging their system in mineral oil have been around since the 90s. That said, the cost / difficulty in scaling lithography further means you will probably see more of this sort of thing in the future. While I can't see Corsair aquarium kits on...

I checked if there was a new episode of this before I checked on Falcon & Winter Soldier...

It's almost like the absurd amount of anima need to complete just _one_ covenant and the covenant specific drops are there just to pad out the amount of time before you finish collecting all the 9.0 mounts/pets/etc., or something. Weird! And I have to think that whatever 10.0 is was already...

This show has a hell of a voice cast, which makes it extra weird that the, what, 40 year old Gillian Jacobs and Steven Yeun are playing teenagers. And yeah, the pilot plays the long game before admitting that this is the tone of the comic. (The episode where they show what the Vilrumites were...

Wasn't Eternals supposed to come out long before Shang Chi? Then again at this point Marvel is probably scheduling the plague movies just so they lead into the Disney+ shows properly. And yeah, I sure as hell won't be paying $30 to watch a prequel that (as far as anyone knows) just sets up...

I honestly think one gets traded / cut before the preseason is over. I'd be very interested in seeing how much of their contracts are signing bonuses (which apply to the cap now) vs. per game salaries (iirc, those apply on a by weekly* basis), vs end of season performance bonuses (which would...

I can see the Patriots concluding they can't draft one of the top QBs without burning too many draft picks to move up, but $14Mil for that level of performance? That just doesn't seem wise, unless Darth Bill is using whatever he has available to make one last try before retirement. To be clear...

Hey, I logged on yesterday. I haven't today and didn't even summon the mount, but I am sure I will one of these weeks!

The TV rights deals are weird, networks like CBS get a significant percentage of their total ad sales from the ads that air during NFL games... but also send a significant percentage of their operating revenue to the NFL for the rights to broadcast those games. It's more a sign of the continued...

To be clear, the covenant 'content' ended weeks ago. Blizz has finally become mercenary enough to acknowledge that pets, mounts, appearances, etc. are the only thing with any longterm 'value' and have locked them behind timegates or covenant specific drops (to artificially cut the number of...

Some the special effects were very dodgy in this episode specifically. The question being, did this episode just not get finalized pre-covid, or is this already exceeding the budget for the Marvel TV shows? Using Evan Peters for Quicksilver and having him just be "Some Guy" that exists in the...

Just so everyone is clear, game 17 was agreed to in last year's CBA. Game 18 would need the next CBA in 2030.

Every professional observer on Earth thought the Texans would release him, as his salary wasn't worth it without a paycut, which Watt clearly has too much pride to take, hence his 'forcing' a release prior to being cut. The Cards have to hope they get a good run of health out of Watt, as his...

Well, yeah, it was assumed it would be cross-conference and based on last season's rankings, the only question is which of the three other cross-conference divisions (since you play one of the divisions naturally every year) would be the one your division gets this year. Kaines, it won't be...

I will point out that if Sword dude could locate Fake Vision with his Vibranium tracker a couple episodes back, then that implies Fake Vision's body is real enough to have atomic decay?!? I am assuming Vision, the kids, etc. are all real matter, but only while they are in the Hex.

Bettany's reference could be to whatever mutant collects Pietro and brings him home, or we get a sneak peek of the Dr Strange 2 villain and they've just kept the casting under wraps. Has Bettany worked with either Magneto before? Mahes, that was the Sword headquarters, not the (levelled in...

Retconning their powers from 'Created by Mind Stone' to 'Awakened by Mind Stone' isn't much of a surprise, though technically, MCU Quicksilver may have just been given his powers by Wanda. Only one episode left, yes? And we have to get White Vision, grown kids, Photon using powers, likely a...

This episode was a wet fart, salvaged only by the 60 seconds of 'Agatha All Along'. Then again, I couldn't care less about Modern Family.

Nah, we can kick this up a notch: flying is account wide, but flight for each zone is tied to completing the covenant for that zone.

If you could talk to our Community 5 years ago, and find out we havent done a single goddamn thing in that time!

Just started watching this now, but the auditorium they are doing this in being empty sounds very odd.

I can't tell you how amused I am that the show's way of telling us we're done with TV shows is to break out the MCU credit stingers. Still don't know what role Mailman and Anya from Buffy play. Still think Mailman is the witness protection guy that still remembers reality (which will be helpful...

Since we keep mentioning the Steelers, and I love Spotrac, give a listen to #249: The Pittsburgh Steelers with Mark Kaboly, & Valuing MLB Projections with Cousin Dan

NVIDIA Nerfs Ethereum Hash Rate & Launches CMP Dedicated Mining Hardware states that they are intentionally shittying up the drivers for bitcoin operations. Miners then using custom drivers doesn't even seem like a speedbump to them.

To be clear, Rogue Squadron is the only movie project with an announced release date, and even that's not until Christmas '23. I strongly suspect Taika Waititi's movie gets made, and Feige's project afterward, but Rian's 'movies' just sound like 'sit on the rights in case they're needed'. (To...

I don't see Watt going into the same division as a brother, and as mentioned above, the Browns are more likely to regress than progress. This smells like him realizing what most teams will actually pay for him nowadays and trying to bump up the price.

I rewatched (or watched, in the case of things like Captain Marvel) all of the Marvel movies when I signed up for D+, and I have a far higher opinion of Thor 2 now than before. It's not good, mind you - the dark elves suck from top to bottom, and the anything involving Portman and earth is...

Oh, I think 2021 boils down to Bucs / Chiefs again. Bucs since they are in a pretty good cap spot and Saints are about to fall apart, meaning the Bucs should win their division (at least) and get good seeding, Chiefs because I don't see Ravens or Bills catching up enough.

As much as I think JJ would want to retire in his home state, the Packers aren't in a great position to pick up much of a contract. This time of year, NFL 2021 Salary Cap Tracker is one of the handiest reference points for me. I would be pretty surprised if the Chiefs, Steelers, or Packers...

If we're going with the Sword director coverup version, then he intentionally sent Monica in to get absorbed into the town so she wouldn't dig into what he's been working on. (As mentioned in that episode, far more creating weapons than pre-snap.) Him suddenly leaving to Washington in Episode 4...

As expected, once I 'knew' the source material better (and Malcolm in the Middle was the stealth best comedy of that era), I got a lot more out of the homage. Seems like we are going with the most predictable outcome, the town was already a preexisting project, likely finding new ways to create...

Chirs Wesseling died? Fuck.

Uhh, do you think Brady plays pass rush, and to a far lesser extent WR, RB, and TE? TB (as in Tampa Bay) got a pretty sizable Brady discount on a number of offensive players after already having a monster defense.

Yeah, this is just a carbon copy of Bucs / Packers at this point. Time for the Chiefs to get some points to keep things theoretical, but never really in doubt.

Brady isn't pass rushing against backup Oline.

The backup Chiefs Oline will be what makes or breaks this game.

I hadn't seen it announced, but apparently the minimum Salary Cap is $175M for next year, with most thinking it will end up atound $185M. The Saints are still hosed in that scenario, and it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of these QBs moving around take pay cuts, or at least restructure base...

Yeah, the tag was 'when accidents get out of control' or something similar - though the commercial actors are also unidentified.

Vision was basically recreated from scratch by Wanda, and she copy pasted left and right: as mentioned, he has Quicksilver's speed powers, Wanda's flight powers, and in this episode, they mostly 'are of the same mind', like her breaking out Wanda's anger here. The FBI board is not a complete...

FBI is a white dude and this is the 21st century. He may be incompetent just because he's a white dude, not because he's trying to clean up his op gone bad.
