People seemed to forget what a ghoul Mitt Romney is too, the instant he denounced Trump that one time. It’s weird, right? And, just because it’s always relevant: Dick Cheney can fuck all the way off.

Do you think it could be because there was some semblance of following the rules when those fuckers were being awful (even if those were rules they changed so recently the ink was still wet, ahem definitionoftorture ahemhem), compared to the outright lawlessness of this lot?

But everything will still be built with cut corners and minimal QA.

I approve this edit

Intellectually honest in that they were open to having their minds changed through debate. Buckley saw his earlier positions were wrong, and regretted that he took them. This stands in contrast to the Republican party of today which is almost entirely dogmatic in its beliefs.

Ah, I didn’t know there have been things that prevented the call from working (aside from the whole fall from grace storyline). I guess that’s why I stopped reading comics. No consistency 😂

That actually gets around my questions above nicely. Moving Mjølnir ≠ using Mjølnir. If the hammer can be moved by natural forces, it’s just a chunk of metal - it won’t have the devastating impact it does when Thor throws it.

And I guess if Thor woke up and called the hammer back, it’d go regardless of natural forces acting on it.

Uru is a metal ore from the first moon in existence, and has existed since the beginning of the universe, being said to be rubble from the rock of creation and the strongest substance in all the realms. It is purportedly unique to Nidavellir, one of the Ten Worlds. It resembles stone, but it also appears to have metallic properties.

Edit: I think I found a good answer below. Even if natural forces could lift Mjølnir, the enchantment would not be in effect - getting beaned by a 40-something pound chunk of metal would still hurt, but it wouldn’t hit as hard as it does when Thor uses it.

Ah, but Magneto’s not the one lifting the hammer - he’s directing magnetic fields that are doing the lifting!

So, could the wind pick up Thor’s hammer, if it were strong enough? How about changes in gravity - is Mjølnir as hard to pick up on the moon as at the surface of the Arctic ocean (Earth’s highest-gravity location, I couldn’t find coordinates)?

If so, then I ask: is the magic of the hammer smart enough to know the difference between a primal force and a primal force that’s doing someone a favour?

And she didn’t even need that copy of Time magazine for it.

busting hundreds for the odd file you can prove they downloaded is expensive and takes forever.

And might well not be legally possible if all you have is an IP address, because lest we forget:

An IP is not an ID

It’s a really stupid question. Valid responses include:

For what?

Ehh, I halfway agree, but there is value in keeping historical stuff around. Heritage laws exist in a good number of countries so that all the cultural architecture doesn’t get erased by developers looking to turn a quick buck or rich people who think that 500 year old castle could really use an infinity pool hot tub; there are strict requirements for a building to be heritage-listed but once they are, the owner is required by law to maintain it to historical standards.

I only halfway disagree because you’re right, forcing people to pay for something has never sat right with me generally. As long as the laws don’t bite people like you and me, e.g. there are relatively high requirements for something to be considered “culturally relevant” enough to preserve, I’d be okay with some kind of heritage system for preserving the internet.
