Q: How did Veronica get from Earth's orbit to Wakanda in a matter of seconds?

From the looks of it, the containment system and the Hulkbuster seem to be floating in Earth's orbit. My question is, how did it get to Wakanda in a matter of a few seconds from the time of deployment? Is it really how long it takes for something from Earth's orbit to reach Earth?

Q: Does hulk care for Bruce Banner

We know that Hulk and Bruce Banner are two different personality sharing same body. Bruce Banner mostly don't trust big guy (Hulk). However, Hulk takes over everytime someone tries to hurt Bruce. In Avengers, Bruce mentions that once he tried to shoot himself in mouth, but Hulk spit it out. I...

@TomCody I don't got their reason for bitching. First it was not over using spoiler like them and now its not getting 100s of upvote in minutes of time.

Or is it just....we want to bitch, so we will make some reason .

Can't we (or SE in general, actually) enact some minimum character requirement for answers? When has a single line answer ever been good?

@Walt Is it not already there?

Its 30 character.

@AnkitSharma Must've forgot (also never posted one under that, of course). Still seems way too low.

While many famous quotations prove that you can cram a fair amount of wisdom into 30 characters, that's not usually what happens in SE.

Yeah...agree on that

30 is too less

But i am sure it must be raised in main meta before

Can't find any.

@MovieReel so do you want him to have wireless dreams

1:52 PM

Uh, has this questions really just been edited into an even worse and more opinionated state after getting closed? Either that was some kind of joke or someone's logic was upside down there.

@TomCody lol

2:18 PM

Universal has made $5.5 billion dollars this year, setting the record for biggest studio take in a year so far, and they've done it without a single film based on a superhero or young adult franchise. geek.com/news/…

@MattD Now if you could also tell me they've done it without a sequel, prequel, reboot or remake, I'd even applaud.

Hmm, Mission: Impossible and Terminator are relatively small, compared to other major blockbusters.

@MattD Don't forget that Star Wars is Disney, too, though, and that studio already seems to be the runner up.

2:40 PM

Half of their top ten highest grossing films don't fit those categories.

Is the title of this question actually a spoiler and should we do something against it? (I wouldn't ask if it was neither a hot question nor rather hard to despoiler while keeping it meaningful.)

Q: Why did Walter White let Jane Margolis die?

In season 2 of Breaking Bad Walter let Jane die. He could have saved her but inspite stood there and watched Jane die. What was the reason behind it.

I'd say it's a spoiler fo sho.

@MattD Any ideas for a reasonable title then?

And no, "Why did he let her die" or "Why did Walt [spoiler]" are not reasonable. ;-)

Change Jane Margolis die to "let her die"

I feel it's ambiguous enough

@MattD Bleh!

2:43 PM

Come up with a better one then, I really don't see any other way around it

What was the episode? I'd rather opt for "Why did Walt not help in S0XEXX" or something similar than some this "her" or "that character" stuff.

Phoenix (Breaking Bad)

"Phoenix" is the twelfth episode of the second season of the American television drama series Breaking Bad, and the nineteenth overall episode of the series. == Plot summary == Walt just barely delivers the inventory of drugs to Gus in time, but misses his daughter's birth. He arrives at the hospital, where he finds that Ted was the one who drove Skyler to the hospital. At Jesse's apartment, Jane wakes up when her father, Donald, calls because she is late for a rehab meeting. At lunch afterwards, she does not mention that she has started using heroin again, and acts like she does not know Jesse...

@TomCody didn't we decided to straight close them?

@TomCody Where's the info about "if you run in an election you get swag"?

@Catija I don't know. I'm not sure that was said that officially anywhere.

@TomCody Ah. Hmmm...

But @MattD Got some sort of email saying that he'd get swag for it, I believe?

I got something about being given swag for at least stepping up to be a mod, but I don't recall receiving a package. I believe I set the address to be my parent's in the event it came while I was out of the country, but I can't remember where the link to the original form came from to verify that, or if I could even verify the address at this point. — MattD May 8 at 15:40

@TomCody Was the graduation stuff said anywhere? Because the post you link to in that question doesn't say anything about swag that I can see.

Oh, the link is just to the wrong question... this one has the swag in it: meta.movies.stackexchange.com/questions/1501/…

7:14 PM

@Catija Indeed, and it's largely known and common law. I'm just not sure it's written anywhere.

@Catija In chat and other less official places. But I actually got news some time ago from SE. They just don't seem to have created swag for us yet. So they (supposedly) haven't just forgotten us.

@TomCody Ah. Gotcha.

@TomCody I'm writing up a post for Meta SE about swag and how the new graduation system will affect it.

Do you know if the Election swag is related to the site design at all or if it's more generic?

@Catija Well, I set the check mark for "site T-shirt if available", but still got a generic SE T-shirt (probably for the same reasons that they don't have M&TV T-shirts yet), so I'd say the design isn't that important for the election swag. But the graduation swag seems strongly coupled to the design (and I want my friggin' orange T-shirt with all those cool movie pics on it anyway).

So you did get the election swag packet, then.

@Catija I did, even two times by some kind of accident.

@TomCody HA HA HA.

Q: How will graduation/election swag work with the changes to the "graduation" process?

Hooray, Design-Independent Graduation is happening! Sites that have been deserving of graduation all over SE are getting their elections and (hopefully eventually) getting the "Beta" label removed from their site name. Part of the graduation and election process is the Swag sent to users who are...

7:31 PM

Yeah, I got an email thanking me for at least having the cajones to step up to be a mod, and as a thank you they were going to send me a package with some swag. I believe I filled out some form, but to date I have received nothing. That form may need to be updated anyway because I've since moved. Can't remember if I had it sent to my parent's place or not.

@MattD Maybe @TomCody got yours... seeing as he got two packages..

As far as I know I should be getting swag for: stepping up to be a mod of M&TV when the site graduated, and being on the first two pages of top users sorted by rep when the site graduated. I have received absolutely nothing.

In fact I believe I managed to wiggle my way onto the first page just before graduation.

@Catija I believe the graduation swag was site specific, and the election swag was generic SE stuff. Could be wrong, though. Would be great if the SE Gods would bestow us with their presence and get it all sorted out.

Atleast they should have given generic shirts in different colours

Both are black.

@Catija Oh, very thanks to building that little nudge about a site already graduated in January into that question. ;^*

@MattD That was part of my reasoning for asking the question, actually... I do want to know how they're going to manage swag in future, but I thought it would be a good chance to point out that graduated communities with site designs still don't have theirs... and I don't actually have a horse in that race (I didn't have enough rep since I didn't join the site until after we graduated)... so I'm not getting anything out of it.

This question may finally get me my 2K rep on Meta :P

7:46 PM

Nobody reminded me to have a half yearly birthday celebration of us. We have completed 7 months now

@Catija Well, if you're lucky, I've heard they'll base that on the moment the swag announcement is posted and not on the actual graduation time. (Though, that would also mean another person that has no respect for our site would also get swag.)

@TomCody and they already suspecting us to plant bomb in it

@TomCody So they post an announcement when they get ready to send the swag out? And who do you mean?... or are you referring to me :P

@Catija That's what I figured at least. Still, I'm largely going by inofficialities here.

Now the SE store doesn't work

@AnkitSharma Well, spare it for the 10,000th question then, should be this year still, I think.

I love that my red stapler contains red staples! Great attention to detail! (And now I will carefully consider which items merit the special staples...) — Monica Cellio ♦ May 18 '14 at 16:29

And the best thing, given some "good" inactive ID questions for deletion we could celebrate this threshold multiple times. ;-P

^ i want this stapler , everytime when i go through this post

@TomCody lol

So... what's the most recently graduated site to have that swag post on their meta? Is there a list of sites by graduation date?

7:54 PM

Well, a James Bond BluRay collection would be nice as a surprise item, too. Or maybe an invitation for the Oscars, be it only as "placeholder guy".

@Catija don't know. Only know about workplace because CM told us about it during our graduation days

@TomCody hehheheh.....love that. Tell me earlier so that i can make my passport

For our thanks to the users that helped make this site the resounding success that its become, if you appear on the first two pages of this list, I'll be reaching out to you within the next 7 - 10 days to get your shipping and size information. Why would I want such information, you ask? Well th...

This one is slightly more recent.

@AnkitSharma Right, I need a new one, too. But well, it's still half a year or so. Until that they might even manage to get it ready (hopefully, or they'll get a "juicy" meta post on the graduation anniversary, muhahaha!).

So, they had site design announcement in March and got the swag announcement in July... so... four months?

our seven month passed

8:00 PM

@AnkitSharma Yes, certainly... so it's late by that schedule... it is interesting, at least, to know that it does take them a few months to get to the point that they make the swag post.

Anyways what happened to the graduate events?

Well, at least it's good to know we simply weren't well, you know, forgotten. (Community Promotion Ads anyone ;-))

Someone downvoted my question? WTF? Why? People are weird.

It's got 5 people following it... wow. Clearly people think it's a good question... or care about the answer, anyway.

@Catija Ah, mistaking favourites for likes or interest? Noob error!

@TomCody You only say that because you use your favorites to keep tabs on Bad ID. You're an outlier.

Ugh... ELL is in moderator elections now... and I'm debating tossing my hat into the ring. I really want to be a moderator for them because I think I'd do a great job... but they only have three slots open and there's one existing mod who's definitely going to get it... I feel like the competition is too much.

8:07 PM

In all honesty, though, I'd love if SE would implement this multiple favourite category proposal. But I guess that's very low on priority. Just pruned them again today and they're still up at ~320.

@Catija Why not, no harm in trying.

@AnkitSharma Harm to my ego. I know there are some people on the site who don't like me at all... but there's a difference between answer quality and moderator abilities.

@Catija Well, trying can't hurt if you genuinely think you're good for the job.

@Catija participation swag might reduce ur pain ;)

So I guess English Language Learners is one of those recent mass non-design graduaters?

8:11 PM

@AnkitSharma True. Though, they only send it to the top ten, right?

@TomCody Indeed. Which is part of my reason for asking the question... but it was mostly to ask for M&TV.

@Catija not sure. But u can atleast make top 10

"but there's a difference between answer quality and moderator abilities." - Big big bingo! Some people really tend to confuse those two independent things. It can't hurt to be active and avid enough to score on both, though. <breast-swelling emoticon>

@AnkitSharma M&TV didn't graduate in January of 2016... since that hasn't happened yet.

Q: 10 Million Questions - Let's Share Some Stories That the Number Doesn't Convey

It's easy to look at numbers; numbers tell us that many developers have been helped by what we built. That alone is very warming and makes us feel exceptionally great about what we're doing, wouldn't it be nice to take a little time on a Friday to share some stories that the numbers can't convey?...

discussion 10m-questions-milestone

^ Till then you can apply for this swag

@AnkitSharma Yes... because I'm such an active member of the SO community...

But, seriously... they're giving out swag for that but not for site graduations... ugh.

8:21 PM

That's their main site

Ohhh....so i can vote in ell.

Well, SE still is largely just about SO. It's not only where it all started and the largest community lives and many new users begin at, it's simply also where the money comes from.

@AnkitSharma You can? You have an "account" but you don't even have the 101 rep... do they create placeholder accounts for all mods on all of the sites or something?

ell.stackexchange.com/users/2806/ankit-sharma

In the primary phase, all nominees advance to preliminary community voting. Any community member with 150 reputation may vote in the primary.

Ah, that's good to know.

And now I'm going to go and get my hairs cut.

Well, good luck then.

Oh, @TomCody are you suggesting we should simply get rid of the current events close reason and replace it with the "suggestions" one? If so, I could support that.

@Catija Well, I thought that was clear. If not, please also take a look at Jon Ericson's recent answer to the recommendation close meta question. I might clarify that suggestion a little more, though.
