Captain Marvel, she flew through a ship and destroyed it in 5 seconds, ship likely has the diameter of a mile, yet she gets tossed around effortlessly by Thanos...Duuuuuuuuuumb.

That was some fan service teaser of her powers. Just like what happen when Superman showed up kicking ass at the end of Justice League.

Plus Thanos sucker punched her using the power stone.

Yeah of course.
Yeaaaaaaaah...plus they have to make it cinematic.

I was able to suspend my disbelief right up until the "Female Heroic Pose Before We Save Spiderman" moment. That was so artificially set up. I enjoyed the rest of the movie, and I do my best to not think about things too hard.

Just another one of those fan service teaser. A-Force teamup scene.

I'm generally fine with fan service, but that was such a jarring moment in the narrative flow. To go from "we're fighting for our lives against a powerful enemy that has all of us engaged" to "let's get every single female (many of whom didn't even have more than one line if any at all) into a single camera shot to pose for the audience" was more than my suspended disbelief could take.

For those of you working for yourself or doing more itemized expense tracking for work what do you use? I'm trying to get something that will allow me to deal with receipts and mileage (at least), and I haven't found anything that I've liked out of the free/trial apps out there. I've tried Everlance, Hurdlr, and Quickbooks Self Employed.

This line is not very encouraging for the ongoing health of the community: "As a combined company, our focus is clear, and our goals are achievable: to build the preeminent marketplace that connects technology buyers and sellers"

For Honor Standard Edition is free until 8/28 on uPlay.

I'm still building a 30'x10' patio. It has been the work of three weekends so far. Hopefully finish up next one.

Freespace2 is free on GoG for the next ~48 hrs. If you haven't played it and you like either space flight sims or a compelling story it is worth playing. If you like both, it is amazing.

@Kelly Nice find - I keep forgetting to check GOG for classics like this. I honestly can't remember if I played it when it came out, so it looks like I'll be adding another game to my library. Teenage me had a pretty terrible PC and no money back then...

I'm on their mailing list. They're pretty good about not spamming for the most part and only sending out emails for major releases, things on my wishlist, and freebies.

Thanks @BRRABill for hooking me up with a rack

I see from your Risk 2210 that you are a man of consequence and refined taste.

Evaluating personal task management tools. Ones that are still on the table:

• ClickUp
• Trello
• Asana
• Notion

I'm a little annoyed that Microsoft removed the capability for personal plans in Planner.

Without more experience or information it is difficult to draw an exact conclusion, but have you considered that he is on the autism spectrum? Some of the things that you're listing could be indicators of that. There are significant differences to how you will work with someone on the spectrum vs someone who just has control issues.

I kind of want to see one of those. And really want to see one. And actively want to avoid eight of them! LOL

I am SO not a pop culture guy.

Thanks for the riddle. lol

Is Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker that you really want to see?

On a certain level I want to see TROS fail. I want Disney to get the idea that what they have done with Star Wars is bad and they should feel bad. (https://www.superherohype.com/movies/472176-kathleen-kennedy-claims-star-wars-films-have-no-source-material)

I do hope that they keep Boba Fett completely out of the series.

While that's necessary for it to be serious in any way.... I think we all know that that will never happen. Disney has zero capability to not have every possible character tie in in a Star Wars franchise. You know C3PO and R2D2 are going to pop in from time to time, too.

Start downloading the shows you want to watch because ISP networks are likely to be flooded once things start going into full quarantine

Warrior Nun on Netflix.

It was fun. Pretty light (despite the violence and gore). Not a deep, provocative, thoughtful show. Worth a watch, but I'm not raving about it.

Why not get your hands on GNS3 or PacketTracer to practice on? It is nice having actual physical gear and related issues to work with, but it can be cost and space prohibitive.

What do you all think of using some of the more uncommon TLDs for a business? I know what NTG/ML think given their usage of .co and .it, but I was curious about the general feeling. I'm considering using a .it, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet.

The ability to generate project or task lists from a ticket and tie it to the ticket.

Is a self hosted/on premise version of Sodium going to be an option? We are a government contractor and we handle sensitive information, so something with a similar model to SW is not an option for us. You don't have to cater to us if the market does not support it, just asking.
