  • It depends. The battery issue is a nonissue, but the short trip can absolutely have an effect. It takes longer for your engine to reach true operating temperature than the oil/water coolant to get to temp. There’s videos out there that can explain the equations for larger engines, but if the drive is less than 15 minutes, it’s likely he’s building up carboxylic acids from nonvaporized water in the pistons. That ain’t a good thing.










  • Ya know, I’m actually okay with that. Up to endgame it wasn’t really all that much. You had Ironman x3, GoG x2, Strange x1, Thor x3, Spiderman x1 (x2 if you want to watch the one right after endgame), Captain America x3, Avengers x3, Ant-Man x2, and Black Panther, all of which set you up for endgame. Thats… a grand total of 20 movies, plus the spiderman right after endgame.

    Is that a lot? Sure, 40-50 hours. But let one company have a cool, big, tied together place in movies. I liked my invincible comic read. One book, straight through from beginning to end. I also liked when I read through the Marvel Ultimate comics, with about four or five of the serials that I was reading interweaving. I can’t think of any other setting that was tied together like that in movies. The closest you’d get would be the television types, with a few hundred episodes.

    I’ll agree that the tv show styles were too much. I personally couldn’t even watch the first trial of those, the agents of shield, right? That first episode was just such terrible writing. I definitely don’t want to take that 40-50 hours (over 11 years, too, so that helps) and multiply by exponential scales.





  • I thought it was less about racial stereotypes, and more about this big recent push across multiple fields to not have people’s names attached to things. Right now (or recently) it’s about oviducts v Fallopian tubes or the bulbourethral gland v Cowperis gland in biology, which I’m familiar with. I think there was a post and comment thread about birds specifically in the last few days on Lemmy; same thing with people’s names being removed.
