Q: How did Thor return to Earth in The Avengers?

Steven VascellaroIn Thor, it's very clearly stated that the Bifrost Bridge is how Asgardians travel between the worlds. When Thor destroys the Bridge at the end of Thor, him and Loki have the following exchange. LOKI: Stop! What are you doing?! If you destroy the Bridge, you'll never see her again! THOR:...

Hey y'all what did I miss
So my wife rented "space between us", and within the first half hour my brain has melted from sheer stupidity
"Were using a model of the SLS as our launch rocket, but using stock shuttle footage, and a random mix of the IRSO and spacex capsule instead of Orion"
which has no shown method of propulsion, nor any landing/parachutes, so it somehow lands perfectly.
theyve also mastered faster than light communications since the teens can IM each other from mars and earth
Why the heck are they showing the kid "human culture" from almost 100 gd years ago
Okay capsules are magical dragon-2
capsules that can land on earth and mars without parachutes

Things must be pretty slow. I didn’t get any upvotes yesterday.
And the last (non-closed) question was five hours ago.

@Adamant It's Friday - and in the US it's a holiday weekend. People are out trying to have a life. I've heard it's kind of fun to do.

Q: Which in-print editions of Neverending Story have red/green text?

d3vidI remember reading a fantastic edition of The Neverending Story (Ende) that featured illuminated characters at the start of each chapter, and text in green and red. Is there an edition like this still in print? The most likely candidate I've found is ISBN 9780525457588 (hardcover published by Du...

@Riker Awesome floof!

This crap is not an answer - it doesn't answer the question of whether Cap and Spidey fought, it just throws in some unsourced speculation.

Colossal's eclectic mixture of relationship drama and monster movie may seem strange, but it results in one of the more fascinating, oddly cohesive films I've seen this year. My spoiler-free review.
 
@DrRDizzle I am going to see this movie for most of the reasons your indicating. One question .... See it at the Theater vs Netflix (or streaming) at home. To clarify that somewhat, I have the option to see it in the City at a high end art/cult etc. style theater
 
3:36 PM
@EnigmaMaitreya It's not the kind of film where you'll miss much by waiting for it to hit streaming services in all honesty, but it's worth the cost of admission.
 
3:53 PM
@DrRDizzle Care to post that again but make the whole message a link? I want to pin it, but the starboard doesn't show the end of the message.

Great story-ID answer:

A: Old SF novel about a white-haired young woman, alien or half-alien, who tutors human kids

LostinfranceIn several respects the story you describe sounds like the young adult novel Under Alien Stars by Pamela F. Service, referred to in an earlier question and answer on this Stack Exchange. (I wrote the answer and will add some more details to it shortly which may help you decide if it is the right ...

Should we do a to have a pop-up when users include the tag, like on M&TV?
 
can't hurt to try
 
Certainly won't hurt, and maybe people will finally learn to write meaningful titles.
Hehe, another tag to my to-burninate list:

Q: Where did Thranduil buy his wine from?

loki123The Wood-Elves of Mirkwood apparently drink a lot of wine and the people of Laketown are providing them with it, hence the returning of the barrels via the river. However, the people of Laketown are obviously only middlemen as they literally live in the middle of a lake and probably earn a livi...

@Gallifreyan I guess it varies depending on your tastes. Personally, I like being out and dancing and miss when I could do that several times a week. But I also find I enjoy being outdoors and working on our lot more than I enjoy being stuck at the computer.
@Gallifreyan I can see my fiancée making those, but not as an actual shrine, but as something with faeries or gnomes around them. You know, that whole fantasy feel.
 
5:37 PM
@DrRDizzle Thanks I will run it by the wife and see if we can do a dinner/date thing which of course is the .... point :)
 
Well crap, hit my 5-edit limit again.
So many posts, so little time, too little activity to blend in to.
 
5:52 PM
@Ixrec beat me to the pin
 
Thanks guys
 
@DrRDizzle I'd offer to feed your reviews here directly via RSS, but the XKCD feed has been acting up, so I'm not sure if that wold work.
Free edit: someone needs to add the and tags here.
Also add here.
(Q: Why don't I do it myself? A: This).
Maybe add here.

Q: Looking for old story: Ancient knights charge and take over alien space ship. Conquer aliens by laying siege to cities

Turns out, the tall humans are descended from knights that charged an alien spaceship that landed on earth. The knights end up conquering the aliens by laying siege to their ...

Q: Why didn't the Tantive IV jump to hyperspace in episode IV?

James DouglasIn Star Wars episode IV A New Hope we see a Star Destroyer chasing the Tantive IV, which was carrying the stolen Death Star plans. Is there a known reason the rebels didn't jump to hyperspace like: The hyperspace recently having been used and overheated or perhaps The Tantive IV having no h...

Q: How can I get the penultimate element in a list?

Paul LogueI have a std::list<double> foo; I'm using if (foo.size() >= 2){ double penultimate = *(--foo.rbegin()); } but this always gives me an arbitrary value of penultimate. What am I doing wrong?

At last, a nicely written question from a new user. Have an upvote! — Bathsheba yesterday

Q: Why didn't the rebels use this weapon more often

James DouglasIn The Force Unleashed II Starkiller activates a huge gun (Fusion Accelerator Cannon) to utterly annihilate a Star Destroyer. My question is, why didn't the rebels use more of these? I mean, perhaps they were expensive, but it can destroy a Star Destroyer in one hit! Possible answers I've consid...

 
How long do the pinned messages stay pinned?
 
About a month, I think
 
@Gallifreyan AFAIK pins last until cleared manually.
 
Oh really O:
 
@doppelgreener Oh, perhaps I do not know. :)
 
7:46 PM
I know at least one message that got unpinned automatically and not after a month.
 
This answer from 2011 suggests a pin lasts 14 days, and this feature request from 2016 suggests that's still the case.
 
@doppelgreener (TIL. Good question, @Gallifreyan.)
 
@SevenSidedDie bows. Thank you, @doppelgreener.

8:15 PM
@Gallifreyan I'd be okay with that. Have we seen anything from xkcd since the switch to RSS?
I'd be okay with feeding @DrRDizzle's reviews to the room, I mean.
 
yesterday, by xkcd
According to these blood tests, you're like 30% cereal.
^ This one and downwards, 4 messages, bundled.
Don't think it's working properly.
 
SQB
Might be because of the switch. Let's keep an eye on it.
How about using DrRElzzid for the feed?
 
that just looks like a weird typo tbh
 
@Gallifreyan it always does that when you add a new feed. Don't worry about it.
 
DrRSSizzle seems more self-explanatory
 
8:23 PM
@Mithrandir Usually it does that directly after we add the feed - in this case it's late a day.
 
^
 
8:57 PM
@Gallifreyan eh, still within normal range. Not the latest I've seen.
I'm just wondering if my edits went too far here: scifi.stackexchange.com/posts/160444/revisions
(revisions 2, 3,and 4 are all me)
 
@Mithrandir If you don't mind putting this effort to make an answer better, I don't see a problem (unless Radhil does).
10 hours ago, by Gallifreyan
This must be the most effort I've put into another person's answer - I even had to go to the dark corners of the Internet to find that short story.
 
@Gallifreyan did you type those quotes yourself?
Because I just typed all those quotes myself, on my phone.
 
9:13 PM
@Mithrandir Your phone should be taken from you right now so that you can't hurt yourself no more.
 
@Gallifreyan heh. :P
So do I win for maximum effort on another person's answer? ;)
 
You win a place in the revision history and no recognition and no rep at all. Enjoy.

Q: What is your fantasy theory about what space / the universe actually is

jelteI'll explain my theory with an analogy. Our body is comprised of cells, the cells have a different "life" they dont have nerves, eyes,ears, they cant reason. Our life is completely incomprehensible to them. But a blood cell still does things and can be considered, with a very very loose definiti...

Q: Need help identifying - Alternate history - Spanish Armada wins over English

nmgsantiagoCan somebody help me identify this story which I read in the 1980s(?). What I remember is that in 1588 the Spanish Armada was not destroyed on its way to battle the English fleet and the English were defeated. This leads to a present 20th century in which The Spanish are the dominant culture. T...

Q: Who were these recent Wolverine bad guys who mimicked his healing factor/claws with tech?

FlipscubaThis is Logan Wolverine (not the current female version), 616 universe, from somewhat recent comics (post 2010 I'm reasonably certain). This involved a group of bad guys who had nanotech-based healing factors and some sort of energy-based Wolverine-style claws created by some shady corporation or...
