Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

I woke up in the middle of the night a few nights back and started thinking about old X-Men comics, you know, as a perfectly normal brain operates, and it struck me that Sentinels - those nutty old mass-produced murder robots - were built with the ability to breach escape velocity, which I'd always thought was supposed to be a really challenging thing to do

Yes, but the iron in hemoglobin isn't ferromagnetic. Which is good, because otherwise having an MRI would pull all your blood out.

See, Magneto has power over MAGNETISM. Not "Power over ferrous items"

To his detriment, he never took a basic science class, so just mentally went " Okay, Magnetism, I can control anything Iron/steel. Neat!"


If he didn't have that blockage, he would be an Omega level mutant, as everything has a magnetic field.

If your referring to just the scene from the movie, and not something from the comics, they explained that ability. There was an earlier scene where Mystique seduced the guard at a nightclub, knocked him out, then injected ferrofluid into him. The next day when the guard goes to work at Magnetos prison, Magneto then extracts the ferrofluid, along with a lot of blood.

The Galactic Encyclopedia posted:

Magratheans are the inhabitants of the legendary planet, Magrathea. Because their planet-building operation was so successful, they reduced the rest of the galaxy to abject poverty.

Since no planet was rich enough to buy a planet from them, all Magratheans decided to sleep through the recession until the galactic economy returned to a level which could require and pay for their services. The only Magrathean to appear in the story is Slartibartfast.

I guess you wouldn't want to know that prehistoric Italy had an owl species the size of a child. However, it's only that size because mice where it lived were as big as modern cats.

We of course know the real scary birds were the 50lbs geese that shared its habitat.

Rule of acquisition #111:
Treat people in your debt like family...exploit them.


A former coworker who is the sister in law of a current coworker went to work on a cruise ship (Carnival) and he told me the way they pay is a lump sum of like 10k or so for a period of time which sounds great until you work out it comes to just minimum wage or even less. And nothing is free on the ships so if you want internet you pay for it.
From what he said most of the Americans that work for cruise lines come out of their contract with almost nothing because they buy the duty free booze in their off hours and just party for their entire contracts.

Henley called paramedics to his home on November 21, 1980, where a 16-year-old girl was found naked and claiming she had overdosed on quaaludes and cocaine. She was arrested for prostitution, while a 15-year-old girl found in the house was arrested for being under the influence of drugs. Henley was arrested and subsequently charged for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He pled no contest, was fined $2,500 and put on two years' probation
