Yeah, if you want a single system for heating and cooling, you'd be better off getting a heat pump. It's the most energy efficient thing for both anyway, from what I've been told.

As an American whose only knowledge of UK government comes from sporadic episodes of Politics Unboringed, my first thought would be to replace the Minister for Women with a Minister for Gender Equality. They would have all the powers and responsibilities of the Minister for Women, and also gain any powers and responsibilities that a hypothetical Minister for Men would need.

  • If there is a need for a Minister for Men, then that need is met by the Minister for Gender Equality
  • If there is no need for a Minister for Men, then the only thing that changes is that the Minister for Women has a new, less controversial title

Sounds like a win-win to me, but again, I'm a dumb Yank lol

But they didn't decide it directly and arbitrarily, as OP is suggesting might have happened. The power to elect the President is in the hands of the Electoral College, and the House of Representatives. The most that a Supreme Court can do is tamper with the process of tallying the popular vote.

I actually just watched this movie for the first time yesterday. Yeah, it was pretty bad. But this is an interesting idea, though it would be quite an undertaking. I'll probably come back with a full treatment soon lol

Could they not afford The Wells Fargo Wagon?

Then Sea of Monsters ended up being worse somehow.

Because the onus is on the farter to say something courteous. Because we, for some reason, decided that a involuntary, natural bodily function is rude.

Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised to be reminded he was still alive. I keep forgetting it was his brother that died, and not him.

That seems to be the official line from the Russos and/or Kevin Feige, yes. Take that however you will.

That would actually be comic accurate, too (to some degree). At one point, Aunt May reveals on her deathbed that she secretly knew Peter was Spider-Man for a long time, and wanted him to know that she was proud of him before she died.

They retconned this, of course, bringing Aunt May back to life with no memory of Peter's identity. Then eventually did more stories about Aunt May learning Peter's identity, dying, then coming back to life... man, keeping up with comic book lore sucks.

Cool idea. Unfortunately, I don't see how that would work, since Endgame uses branching-paths time travel instead of closed-loop.

Stop, you'll give the bots ideas!

In all seriousness, I never fake anything. If I see a bicycle, I click it. Plus, I never need to fake my pauses, since the ones I get are actually bitch hard lol
