Which is sorta the problem with speculation in these threads. We can say “Trump said X”, but really his decisions are based on the number of hamburgers he had that afternoon or which voice whispered in his ear last. We only have wild speculation.
I don’t hate the idea, but it adds unnecessary confusion, so I can see why it was dropped.
Also if the plan was Jedi not being attached… that changes the future character arcs.
Sure it isn’t a perfect comparison, but the idea is the same.
Comcast introduced the “Xfinity” branding in 2010. I still call refer to it as “Comcast”. Any conversation I have where an ISP comes up, the word “Comcast” is used. If someone says “Xfinity”, they often follow it up with “you know, Comcast”.
Now that’s a VERY clear brand change.
The name “X” is a VERY confusing brand change. It will likely be called Twitter forever. In fact at some point Musk will sell or give up on “X” and I guarantee within a year the new owner will change the name back to Twitter.
Lol, you’re right. I forgot Nintendo be Nintendo. You might be right.
What are the downsides to becoming a state?
I agree, but with a much longer time window.
5 years from now the headline will be “Nintendo sunsetting music service” with the top comment being “What service?”.
The apps are already built and will require very little maintenance. Since it’s a “value add” it doesn’t need many users to convince Nintendo to keep it turned on.
“You’ll be dead,” Swisher noted, to which Downey replied: “But my law firm will still be very active.”
You can have a will and an estate, but if your estate fucks you over is there anything anyone can do about it?
It’s not technically what you mean, but during the first Doctor Strange film he gets injured and teleports himself to a Hospital. I seem to recall he gives a diagnosis of himself to Christine Palmer while he is in his spirit form, since his body is dying.
Finally, Smell-o-vision. Truly the future is now.
So first off I appreciate your “about:config” dump, that is helpful.
However, having ONLY that dump makes it difficult to actually diagnose your issue. It would be helpful to have an idea of what fails.
Second, you have “media.peerconnection.enabled” set to “false”. That setting controls WebRTC. Google Meet uses WebRTC. If I set that value to false my Google Meet meetings fail to load, it just stays stuck at the joining meeting phase.
So maybe that’s your culprit. Of course I would expect if you’ve had this set for a long time I would have expected it to fail for a long time. Also both alternatives you mentioned use WebRTC, so I would expect those to fail with that setting disabled.
Of course if it used to work with that disabled then it’s possible Google Meet changed and had a fallback no longer in use or something else.
As an aside, I understand that WebRTC has (had?) issues leaking local IP addresses while connected to a VPN. So I understand why you might have it disabled.

The only conclusion I can draw is that google is so desperate for my data that they refuse to service me unless I give them this.
What is your config? It’s possible you’ve got things configured in an unexpected, but valid, way that causes Google Meet to fail.
How does it fail? Are there errors in the console?
You’re immediately assuming malice, but it may simply be a mistake (Google’s or yours).
I’ve seen technically less than half but “Coming 2 America” is on my TODO list, so more than half eventually. Of the nearly half I’ve seen… I’ve seen worse.
Oh I agree, you just want to believe that even the world’s stupidest person could eventually learn something. It’s not like this is a case of him being deliberately obtuse, which we often see, he truly believes his own nonsense.
It’s honestly madness.
The former President, running a multi-million dollar campaign, with access to the best information in the world, has nothing to say but rambling “but the TV said, but the TV said!”
Just an absolute fool.
To extend this a little further, computers also don’t actually store books, they store blocks.
For example, you have a computer that can store 50 blocks of information. You store “Moby Dick”, taking up 20 blocks & “Tom Sawyer”, taking another 20 blocks.
Next you decide you don’t like “Moby Dick”, so you delete it. You also decide you want to store an ice cream menu, taking up just 1 block.
That menu will be stored based on where the computer thinks the block fits best. So you might have 20 blocks that still contain “Moby Dick”, or you might have only 19 blocks that contain most of “Moby Dick”, but it might be missing the beginning, middle or end.
If I were doing data recovery I might not be able to provide you with the complete “Moby Dick” story. I might only be able to give you part of it.
Looking into why blocks, let’s say you’re writing up the first draft of a book report, it might take up 4 blocks. Then later you edit, improve and add to that that book report, and now it takes 5 blocks. The computer took care of making space, even though your report got larger. It didn’t know if you were going to add 1 new block of information, or 1000 new blocks of information, it figured it out and did the rearranging for you.
However when it comes time for you to look at it, it automatically knows how to put it together. (And usually it does group things together if it can).
This is important to keep in mind when it comes to data recovery because the more you use your computer the more likely blocks are allocated and data gets moved around.
If you delete important photos, then spend the weekend surfing the Internet, those photos might be gone. Or if they are available, might only be partially available.
I do agree that some TV shows stretch and pull the DBZ style, however I think it’s less and less. Seasons are shorter, 10 episodes or so, but it isn’t a strict rule.
It’s a shame it isn’t discussed in the article, but I wonder “What about TV?”
I watch a lot more TV shows than I do films, not just because TV is longer but usually TV has the more interesting story to tell.
That isn’t to say films aren’t interesting, it’s just that I wonder if the shift is the dividing line between generations. Films were where all the big stars were. TV was seen as a stepping stone. Now TV has a similar and sometimes even higher level of prestige.
The article does touch on length for a moment, but doesn’t dig in. When it comes to TV you might only need to watch 22 minutes, 44 minutes, maybe an hour to get a solid feel for where the story is going. Plus it has a logical stopping point.
For a film you might get 20 minutes in but you’re not sure. Should you stick with it? I suppose better films aren’t usually this way, but should you watch just a little more and find out?
Both have their place. Both can be great.
I’m not well versed with lore but “What If: Iron Man: Demon in an Armor” has Tony and Victor swap bodies. It happens when they are younger so they have different paths and that story isn’t the one that is going to be told here, but… technically yes.
But also keep in mind it’s fine for the MCU to do things a little different. In Multiverse of Madness we was the “Illuminati” in a way similar to existing material, but still wholly unique. Additionally we got characters like Mordo who get new arcs and growth that differs from any existing media
While I do expect this to be a little desperate on Marvels part, they’re also bringing back the Russo brothers, I think it’s also a way to bring hype back to Marvel and the idea of the multiverse. The future is mutants and Secret Wars will be a great way to get that going so I think we’re going to speedrun it and a cheesy strat like bringing back RDJ is a way to do that.
In terms of story I don’t think they’re going to ignore that he played Tony Stark/Iron Man. If we’re going to play with the Multiverse (and we are) then a variant of Tony is fair game.
So yeah. And Nolan did Batman, so it’s not unreasonable. But also, I doubt it.
