Black Widow jumps to Summer 2021 -- (edited) - mud Sep 23, 10:03 15

  - I would imagine it comes down to how they're reconnecting stories after this forced reboot. -- nm - David Sep 23, 10:41

  - I doubt it. -- nm - Remlik Sep 23, 10:41
  - As of right now Falcon and WS are connected to Black Widow and Wandavision and Loki are connected to Dr Strange and posibly Thor L&T -- nm - eag Sep 23, 10:32
  - Doubtful. Doctor Strange could. -- nm - Spawn Sep 23, 10:19 2
    - I'm pretty sure that's why WandaVision just got hard-locked. -- nm - David Sep 23, 10:41
    - It's all connected, Spawn! IT'S ALL CONNECTED! -- nm - Mopsy Sep 23, 10:21
- This seems to give credit to the idea that Mulan didn't do as well on Premier Access as Disney hoped. -- (edited) - Inigo Sep 23, 10:17 3
  - I don't believe for a second that Soul goes theatrical in November. But it might go "All Access". -- nm - Mopsy Sep 23, 10:20 2
    - I agree it won't come out in November. They could delay until March. - Inigo Sep 23, 10:24
    - Doubtful. It is too unknown. -- nm - Spawn Sep 23, 10:22
- Smart. Horrible, but smart. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 23, 10:04

at a quick count, I have 22 ways to make things spicy in my house right now, ranging from white pepper to a homemade Scotch Bonnet jerk sauce. - Reagen Sep 23, 09:48 7
- 23 if you count your assless leather chaps. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 23, 10:17 1
  - all chaps are assless. If not, they're pants. -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 10:37
- Expired. Expired. Expired. -- nm - Geico Aunt Sep 23, 09:59 1

I agree with Steven Calabresi about almost nothing, but I mostly agree with him on this op-ed. - pmb Sep 23, 09:02 18
- Also, this should apply to federal judges, too. -- nm - Inigo Sep 23, 10:18
- How would you deal with the Justices who've already been on the court for 18+ years? -- (edited) - Inigo Sep 23, 09:59 5
  - You’d have to have some sort of transition. My proposal would be FIFO. - spamlet Sep 23, 10:07
  - In Canada, they have mandatory retirement at 75. -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 10:03 1
    - FWIW, so do we here, even if our Court is mostly a bad joke. (NM) - Marlowe Sep 23, 10:30
  - My comment below solves for that as well. -- nm - znufrii needs to cancel his gym membership Sep 23, 10:00 1
    - Would the amount of justices emeritus be infinite or a capped amount? - Inigo Sep 23, 10:08
- Yup that’s the most logical solution. -- nm - spamlet Sep 23, 09:21 7
  - Heck, even JackDawson had come around to the idea the last I mentioned it to him on here. -- nm - znufrii needs to cancel his gym membership Sep 23, 09:58 1
    - If he, pmb, and I all agree on something.... -- nm - spamlet Sep 23, 09:59
  - I mean, it still leaves open the question of what happens if one dies, is incapacitated, impeached or retires prior to the end of their term, but that - pmb Sep 23, 09:27 4
    - I think it’s the same process as any other federal position. Appoint someone else to fill out the term. - spamlet Sep 23, 10:11
    - I would hope someone wouldn't retire in the middle of a two-year appointment. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 23, 10:06 1
      - It would be an 18 year term, they're just staggered so a new justice is appointed every 2 years as one rolls off. -- nm - pmb Sep 23, 10:32
    - Solution to that is justices would still sit on the court as justice emeritus, but any case is heard by only the nine most junior members. Also works for recusals. -- (edited) - znufrii needs to cancel his gym membership Sep 23, 09:50
- Had this conversation yesterday. And the two years falls in year one and three of a president's term. -- nm* - Spawn Sep 23, 09:19 1
  - This ties in to my big concern with this. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 23, 10:15
- We’ve had 3 die in 15 years over the age of 80. Two of which could switch the ideological bent of the court. - Will Hunting Sep 23, 09:08
"The Chargers’ team doctor accidentally punctured his own quarterback Tyrod Taylor’s lung just before kickoff Sunday" -- (link) - decline Sep 23, 08:47 13
- was that wrong? should i of not done that? -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 09:06 3
  - It's not like he really needs it or anything. He's got a spare, right? -- nm - decline Sep 23, 09:15 2
    - Also, Tyrod probably didn't even think about his cracked ribs at that point, so...mission accomplished?!? -- nm - decline Sep 23, 09:24 1
      - now that's some proactive medicining! -- nm - prayformojo Sep 23, 09:43
- "Quick, its the Chiefs, injure me. Gimme the reason not to play this game." -- nm - Tyrod Taylor Sep 23, 09:00 1
  - He's a QB. KC's defense hasn't exactly inspired fear this season. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 23, 09:41
- Mmm, ribs -- nm - Beryllium Sep 23, 08:54 2
  - Also, someone should check if that dude has a gambling problem -- nm - Beryllium Sep 23, 08:55 1
    - If that was the case, I'm pretty sure that the doctor would have disappeared before this report as I'm pretty sure the Chargers still covered - JD Sep 23, 09:37
- Mistakes were made. - David Chao Sep 23, 08:53
- Did the DC medical staff find new jobs that quick? Damn. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 23, 08:52 1
  - Dr. Vincent Vega. -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 08:53
- No comment. -- nm - Bills medical staff Sep 23, 08:49
I'm putting the RCP battleground state averages in this post, mostly so I can search later what they were on this date -- (edited) - ty97 Sep 23, 08:45 2

  - Don't vote naked -- (link) - Dano Sep 23, 10:35
I'm currently eating the ghost pepper McChicken. -- nm - Shaun Sep 23, 08:28 20
- I saw a sign for that at the McD's down the street. Would you recommend? -- nm - Diva Sep 23, 09:15 2
  - It was fine. Not something I'll actively order again though. -- nm - Shaun Sep 23, 09:17 1
    - thx -- nm - Diva Sep 23, 09:19
- McD's spicy nuggets are decent, but Wendy's are better and BK's are marginally better. -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 08:38 1
  - I haven't tried spicy nuggets yet. I don't think they are here. - Beryllium Sep 23, 08:39
- Is that the same a the McChicken Plaid? -- nm - zunkskunk+ Sep 23, 08:35
- Do we have this in the US? -- nm - loosilu Sep 23, 08:33 2
  - we have three sandwiches right now - increasing heat apparently. "Spicy McChicken Challenge", Habanero, Scotch Bonnet and then Ghost. -- nm - Andie Sep 23, 08:41 1
    - Jealous. -- nm - loosilu Sep 23, 08:55
- I hate that's it a mayo sauce. - Reagen Sep 23, 08:33 9
  - [gag] -- nm - mud Sep 23, 09:00
  - It's milder than I was expecting. But, it's still the hottest thing I've had in awhile, so it's not entirely comfortable. -- nm - Shaun Sep 23, 08:35 4
    - And the heat is done. Not very long lasting. -- nm - Shaun Sep 23, 08:41 3
      - Like, on some level I expect this. Fricking *McDonalds* isn't going to put out an actual "melt your face off" spicy sandwich - Reagen Sep 23, 08:52 2
        
        Totally. Don't get me wrong though, this would destroy the typical Maritimer. -- nm* - Shaun Sep 23, 08:56 1
        
        They'd have to go to the hospital -- nm - Beryllium Sep 23, 08:59
  - if the spice was in the batter i would absolutely have tried this. but it's in mayo, so, obviously not. -- nm - Andie Sep 23, 08:35 2
    - Right. Wendy's does this the right way. -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 08:38 1
      - Yup -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Sep 23, 08:39
- I liked the scotch bonnet one, but my intestines did not. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 23, 08:29
South Florida pauses football after Notre Dame outbreak -- (link) - prayformojo Sep 23, 08:28 1
- Truly they paused football sometime in the second quarter of that game. -- nm - The Masked Baron Sep 23, 08:59
Netflix gets the new series of Bake Off on Friday (well the 1st episode) which is 3 days after the UK broadcast. -- nm - LMS Sep 23, 08:20 1
- Sweet! Thanks for this info :-) -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Sep 23, 08:33
Georgia is closer than Texas or Ohio. I'd definitely campaign there, and work with Stacey Abrams to help people be able to vote safely. -- nm - Inigo Sep 23, 08:19 7
- oh yeah, I knew I was forgetting a state -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 08:40
- And as much as I appreciate the appeal of running up the top line score, let’s also remember there are crucial state legislative races to support -- nm - znufrii needs to cancel his gym membership Sep 23, 08:22 5
  - That's actually a reason *in support of* campaigning in some of the states that are stretches for Biden. -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 08:41 2
    - And a better one, imo. -- nm - znufrii needs to cancel his gym membership Sep 23, 08:42
    - Even if Biden loses that state, he can help with the state legislature -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 08:41
  - It's not as much running up the score as giving yourself more options to win. Like Will outlined on b2. Which states and races are you referring to? -- nm - Inigo Sep 23, 08:24 1
    - Not anything in particular, but more as a generic comment to flip anything that can be flipped ahead of redistricting, really. -- (link*) - znufrii needs to cancel his gym membership Sep 23, 08:31
dailybeast: Trump’s aides decided not to alert him .. while he was onstage .. because they feared that his crowd would cheer about her passing -- (link) - mud Sep 23, 08:12 14
- Least surprising news article ever. -- nm - Qale Sep 23, 09:01 1

    - Hillary was too kind. -- nm - loosilu Sep 23, 08:26 1
      - Nasty woman. -- nm - Spawn Sep 23, 09:33
- His comments about RBG once he did hear were surprisingly human. -- nm - Inigo Sep 23, 08:22 5
  - probably written by someone else. -- nm - Diva Sep 23, 08:25 2
    - Oh, I'm sure, but he usually doesn't even say the right pre-written thing. - Inigo Sep 23, 08:29
    - Absolutely. It didn't sound anything like him. -- nm - pmb Sep 23, 08:29
  - Well, what was shared. I imagine his initial response was more like what his aides were talking about. -- nm - Spawn Sep 23, 08:25 1
    - Trumpers haven't hidden their death watch for her. -- nm - loosilu Sep 23, 08:26
- good instinct on their part. -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 08:13 1
  - can you just imagine .. [shudder] -- nm - mud Sep 23, 08:15

  - yup. in 1. -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 08:13 1
    - you know it's real good when you're angry you didn't think of it first -- nm - rollo Sep 23, 08:14
There's a German word for everything! -- (link) - TWuG Sep 23, 08:06 3

In local filming news ... -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 23, 08:01
I admit it, I have avoided talking to my dad because I worry he will say he is voting for Trump. - Spawn Sep 23, 07:57 8
- I have the same concern with my dad. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 23, 09:45
- My parents *despise* Trump. Thank goodness. -- nm - Judge Bane Sep 23, 08:34
- My dad is. -- nm - loosilu Sep 23, 08:25
- Like I said on B2, I’m glad we don’t talk politics. - znufrii needs to cancel his gym membership Sep 23, 08:23
- My father is a MAGA hat wearing die-hard Trump supporter - decline Sep 23, 08:09
- It's a tough thing to have to deal with. - TWuG Sep 23, 08:02
- My parents were always Republican, for as long as I can remember. We haven't agreed on a much over the years with regard to that kind of thing. - sycor Sep 23, 08:01 1
  - My mother and step-mother are both democrats. My father and sister are both republicans. I would try to talk to him but I know my big-sister - Spawn Sep 23, 08:06
