Magneto would be able to lift the hammer, not because his powers give him control over magnetism, but because he is worthy to!

Kamala Harris hasn't won, no. But I think she's already achieved enough momentum that if she loses, it will be safe to say that Joe Biden would have also lost.

I've gone back and forth between a common bashrc file in my Dropbox folder that is symlinked to ~/.bashrc on my devices, and one that is imported from a regular bashrc instead, and recently it ended up in a state where it accidentally tried to do both, resulting in an endless loop. I discovered this on my Pop!_OS PC, which reacted to this situation by crashing on login lol. What??

Ocaml stands for "Objective Categorical Abstract Machine Language", so it's pronounced like "Camel" but not named after it, unfortunately

If you have access to Disney+ or piracy, watching a couple of (they're eight minutes long) episodes of the show Bluey would probably charm your butt off and also give you a lot to go on for fun ways to engage with kids.

It's all about being real and in the moment, and giving them ways to experience novelty. A parenting book my partner was reading reminded her that all you need to do to engage a (toddler, but the point stands) child's interest is to turn the laundry basket upside down. Everything that's dull to you is new to them (and everything that's exciting to you, they're often not ready for yet).

I read a lot of Batman and I don't know what you're referring to. I'm sure it's established canon, but I feel like a lot of people write Batman that don't consider "a curse on Gotham City" to be part of the mythology that they're contributing to.

I assume OP just did their best to make up an example. She doesn't say anywhere that she is a superfan herself or even has read the books at all.

This summary from the Independent necessarily cuts out a lot of the nuance of AOC's points - I say "necessarily" because she spoke on Instagram for a full hour - and one thing that she seemed to emphasize - more than the "They don't 100% support Harris either" point - is there there is very little time remaining in the election year to make any changes to the ticket. There are just weeks until the Democratic convention, and Ohio requires the names to be finalized even before that. She also emphasized that any change to the ticket, especially any late change, increases the chance that the presidency will ultimately be decided - if not by the bureaucracy of a swing state, many of which, like Ohio, are Republican-controlled - then by a legal case that goes before the (corrupt, she didn't need to explain, although there were arch eyebrows at this point) Supreme Court, which is just not an ideal situation for democracy.

I've read that comment a lot and it makes me feel like there's something big that I might spoil if I ever Google about it. But like I'm a couple dozen hours in at this point... After how many hours of playtime would you say the "don't look it up" advice expires?

You don't need admin to plug your computer into the AV do you? I assumed it was OP's computer.
