    This variant being in that time doesn't even make any sense, none of the time bullshit gadgets can possibly be that simple to make even if you have instructions. They didn't even really have electricity, let alone electronics and you're telling me all the time travel gadgets have zero circuitry, it's all something I can build with blacksmith's tools if I know how?

    At this point it begs the question why is this show afraid to go into the future, pop into 3000 AD Chicago or whenever he's supposed to be from, make your guesses about what crazy nonsense that looks like and have fun with it.

    Not sure if doing a bit, but in 1925 half of all homes in the U.S. have electric power.

    So a bit more than a smithy combined with the book knowledge and being the right person to understand it was enough.

    Too bad it was the year 1893 and lighting up the bulbs at that world's fair was a huge technological marvel? Even 1925 would be stupid though.

    We're talking he'd need to build the tools required to build the tools required to build the tools required to... x100 to make something with digital logic. The time loom prop being a complete hoax was nice, "oh good, he can cobble together some lightbulbs and wires that vaguely resemble the time loom but in no way functions" but then he had a completely functional, if somewhat bulky, disintegration rod.

    There's just so much thought and effort and layers of industry into every little piece of a technological device it feels immediately and abruptly wrong.

    And again, as the writers they had the option of picking any time and place. If you want to be dumbasses "hur hur in 3000 AD the Earth is probably destroyed" then fine he grew up on Tau Ceti Center or Neoterra or Jemison or whatever colony mankind settled, again it's a blank slate to just have fun with.

    I mean - you know you're talking about a series of movies that started with the main hero building an infinite power unit in a cave in the desert, right?

    But he had several crates of high-specification parts and purpose-built components in that cave, right?

    They were really more "scraps," if memory serves.

    With multiple boxes I can see that being feasible...

    Pretty sure
    Renslayer is a Kang variant.

    Which is interesting, given the character in the comics
    is Kang's eternal love.

    And last season, Loki and one of his variants fell in love.

    That's what the obvious direction to go would be but
    It'd be colossally out of character for Mr. "I went to all this incredible trouble to eliminate all of my variants for the safety of everyone and everything, total genocide is the only way to be sure" to decide "oh but I'll keep this one variant of myself memory wiped in the one place she could do the most damage if this house of cards tumbles".

    So I'm hoping Miss Minutes finishes her "you're not going to like it" speech by revealing she's his ex-wife, as that sounds most normal and apparently in keeping with comic lore, or that the writers go with mother or daughter if they want to get weird with it

    Also re: box of scraps, I realize you're probably just making a joke on the line but my pedantry demands I point out that crates of "scraps" of Stark missile technology are probably the most advanced components in the world and they also provided him with various tools we see, including computers, in their sincere attempt at providing him everything he needed to build what we're told is the newest, best missile used by the US military.

    Also apparently ESPN+ is getting to do A Thing™ tomorrow. Sounds like Redzone for Hockey. Interested.

    Was just coming to post about this.

    Tonight will be a fun night. All 32 teams play, featuring 16 games. And instead of every game starting at, say 7pm ET, start times of every game are staggered. The first game is caps/leafs, that starts at 6pm ET. Then there is a game that starts at 6:30. Then another at 6:45, then 7, then 7:15. there's a game starting every 15 minutes until later in the evening, when there's a half hour break between a couple. the last game that starts is flyers in vegas at an 11pm ET start time.

    ESPN is doing a thing called Frozen Frenzy. It is being billed as like NFL redzone. That broadcast starts at 7ET on ESPN+, and it will also go onto ESPN2 on TV at 8ET.

    I'm going to be interested to see how ESPN does this. Hockey isn't like the NFL where you know when a team is in scoring position, and it is easy to switch between games. It'll be more dynamic, so I'm really interested to see this.

    Except that it isn't available in Canada at all. Sportsnet is not picking up this broadcast, so we can't watch it. booooo.


    Overall, I really like this idea. Every team playing, start times staggered so there will be overlap but you don't have 10 games all starting at the same time and also in intermission at the same time. It's going to be an awesome night and I hope this experiment works so we see it a bit more often in the future.

    It being on a Tuesday is kind of weird but I'm also not sure what else the NHL does with it. Friday is where TV goes to die, Saturday in the US is college football, and Sunday is NFL football, so the NHL doesn't want to try to compete too hard with that. I think this is a reasonable compromise, but in the future I'd also like to see one of these nights on, say, a Saturday in March.

    went in for ines because she seems cool and it would be nice to have a different vanguard strategy besides oops all flagpipe, and there's nobody else i want until typhon.

    took... too many pulls, i was going to stop after the 2nd 6* but it went to 6* pity twice and i got two irene dupes, so then i was only like 25 away from the guarantee. didn't actually go to the pity, but was close. i did hilariously get saileach also on the last pull who was new, so i guess in the grand scheme of things it could have gone worse.

    Considering the things he set in place, no, it's not really at all out of place for him to institute that plan.
    He goes out of his way to set up an elaborate plan to remove himself from the role in which he has trapped himself, with the whole thing masked as a hunt for a deviant. In case that result, which he specifically arranged so he couldn't know the result, ends up leading to another inter-reality war and he's been killed, he sets up an elaborate plan to make sure somebody will take over that same role. He only trusts himself, so he picks a Kang variant that will stick it out and be dedicated to the cause. So he's been keeping a backup Kang in his pocket the whole time to make sure there is something to replace whatever void in leadership he leaves.

    And Renslayer doesn't even need to know if she's a variant or not, all that matters is that she can do the job. This whole "plan" with her getting a Kang to run things could just be another setup to get her to not trust other people, especially not Kang variants, or Miss Minutes and eventually just set herself up as She Who Remains.

    I have gone the fully opposite direction and my therapist is completely unconnected to the rest of my medical care and psych care because whew have I had some real fun times maintaining (and losing and regaining and losing and regaining) access to my ADHD meds. Wish I had advice for you on how to skip the two months of discussing your brain problems to get to the psychiatrist, but I found my current psychiatrist by getting a referral from an evaluater and then bursting into tears when they said they couldn't see me! party time

    I like a lot of things about using a teaching hospital for all my medical needs, but the shuffle of 'previous resident graduated, get assigned new resident, hope they're not an asshole about meds' is the trade off

    Score effects and all, but final shots tally was around 35 to 14 for the Caps. In a 4-1 loss.

    The fun stat I heard yesterday is that the Caps are the only team in the league that hasn't held a lead in a game yet. Their only win came against Calgary, and was a shootout win.
