So apparently there's a feature (undocumented or otherwise) that allows you to ping people based on the first three letters of their name. I guess I can sort of see what went through its developer's mind but it causes a problem.
My name is Oli. It's short for Oliver. In the Ask Ubuntu chat room,...
The plot:
Cities have grown very tall and the rich live in the sky in the towers and the poor live on the ground where there is no sun. The families that have the skill and nerve to walk outside at great heights are the only ones who can do any repairs.
I am trying to find a book about humans going to mars and finding a giant 'tree' that works as a space elevator. They transfer the tree to earth (can't remember if they used seeds and grew a new one of just moved the whole thing).
When the tree was fully grown on earth they realised that the re...
One of my friends told me that in Guardians of the Galaxy, you could see War Machine and Nebula in 2014 on Morag, when Star-Lord was dancing. I haven't gone back to rewatch GotG 1 yet, but I wondered if anyone could confirm this. Also, are there any other instances in previous MCU movies that the...
The housing shortage was so acute that when a developer proposed to save space and money by constructing an apartment building with 6-foot ceilings, he was allowed to build it and the apartments were rented before it was finished. Succeeding generations were shorter and ceilings kept coming down ...
In A Discovery of Witches (the TV series based on Deborah Harkness's All Souls trilogy), Ysabeau de Clermont and her servant Marthe both look... grandmotherly, albeit in very different ways. It's clear that both of them are much, much older than they look (speaking Occitan, anyone?), but even so,...

At the end of the movie, we see that
Additionally,
I was wondering if there was a canon explanation for why all of these characters still seem to be in high school? The obvious answer would be that
While I find either of these to be reasonable...
Thanos's infinity stone gauntlet is left-handed. The one that the Avengers make in Endgame is right-handed. Is there a significant or symbolic reason for this?
I'm interested in in-universe or out-of-universe answers. And I completely understand the answer might simply be random or even unconsc...
In Avengers: Endgame, in a scene with Bruce Banner and Sorceress Supreme, we learn that the infinity stones create the flow of time and that if any of the stones are removed then they will create an alternate "doomed" timeline. We also learn from Infinity War that the stones were created from the...
No - enough red flags will automatically delete something, and enough delete votes will delete something, but they're independent. A red flag will cast an automatic downvote.
From memory, the fake (right-handed) Infinity Gauntlet existed before Thanos made Etri create the left-handed version that he used with the read Infinity Stones.
This gauntlet is obviously sized for Titans, but who was it made for, and why?

I imagine they'll have FFH mostly deal with it and then only mention it in passing or at the beginning of films with characters that haven't been seen since EG
I wanted to see at least the continuation of Jessica Jones and Iron Fist.
Luke Cage felt kind of finshed as an arc. It could easily have gone on longer, but that felt like a satisfying character arc. And Daredevil I wasn't really into.
But Jessica Jones had the arc with Trish to finish up, and Iron Fist ending on quite the cliffhanger.
After the events of Game of Thrones season 8 episode 3 "The Long Night", did Benjen and (if they are not the same person) Coldhands die when
I am clueless on the books and new to the TV show so apologies if this is dumb.
@Jenayah Deleting, editing, purging. I can completely hide the original iteration of a message, but can't get around showing the latest version before deletion. Your message doesn't even show that.
Today, @Jenayah brought my attention to this case when she asked what happened to a message she had posted in chat. On mobile (but not on desktop), I was able to see that a message had been deleted just above, and, since I'm a moderator on chat.SE, I can see deleted messages. So I checked the his...
Except in this case there isn't anything spoilery in the current title, I've been fixing titles as they come up for EG and GoT and this isn't one that needs anything changing now
The logical follow up is of course then why was this message deleted? I suppose we won't know that until whoever did it comes forth to explain. — TheLethalCoder8 mins ago
I'm having doubts about what I may have typed but no matter how I look at it there's no way I pasted PII and I don't see what kind of typo on "congrats" would be offensive xD
Apparently for Dunkirk the DMOD had to give the producers permission to shoot at Urk
> The Dutch ministry of defence granted special permission to the filmmakers to use the military air space over Urk. The one restriction placed on Dunkirk, which Nolan and his producers readily accepted, was not to shoot on Sundays (Urk remains a fiercely religious community).
@Mithrandir that would be overkill. But heck, let's do it :D
> This surprised me, because I don't see in what way the Dutch Ministry of Defence could have participated in this production. I thought it might have been something being filmed in Dutch waters, but if I am to believe IMDb, the filming mainly took place in Morocco, Canada and Australia.
The only plane scene was above the Sahara right? Or was there another
In 8x03, at the end of the episode, Arya
But I don't understand how she can avoid all the wights and the White Walkers, because there are hundreds of them and they were looking at the same point, at Bran.
I don't understand how she can do it.
> I saw him ride over seven streams, over waters wide and grey, I saw him walk in empty lands until he passed away Into the shadows of the North, I saw him then no more. The North Wind may have heard the horn of the son of Denethor
In Avengers: Endgame when Ant-man visits memorial stones, he went through lots of names to go through. But as per the nature of Marvel films, it seems like these names can't be all random.
Is any of those names refer to any real or fictional Marvel-related character/person?
In Avengers: Endgame we see that the Avengers travel
But how did they get to where they wanted to be?
Like all of them were together before going back
at the Avengers facility.
How did Captain America, Iron Man, Ant-Man, and Hulk get to just a few meters from the
In the movie Avengers: Endgame, Tony (Iron Man) is memorialized at the end of the movie with a funeral attended by the Avengers and their friends, but why didn't Black Widow get the same treatment?
The world is frozen as the long-term result of an invention that allows the conversion of heat to electricity. Thew few survivors each live alone; there aren't as many women as men, so the main character in this story has what amounts to a time-share arrangement with a woman. When he meets her fo...
There is one reference we can list.
In the memorial, there is a name Roberto da Costa aka Sunspot. This mutant is going to be in an upcoming film, The New Mutants. This refers to the upcoming merge of X-Men and current MCU. I don't have a screenshot at the moment.

@Mithrandir Black widow, Black panther 2, Dr Strange 2, GotG 3 in works too
Can someone think of a better title for scifi.stackexchange.com/q/211574/98028? These time travel questions already wreck my brain, I can't think on how to reword the title so that it's not a spoiler
@TheLethalCarrot is it? I thought it was one of those that can get answered by the usual "you're a bit mistaken, there's no alternate timeline, blah blah loop blah blah future blah blah blah past is present"
@TheLethalCarrot yeah I don't know and I don't really care TBH, I've kept away from the time travel stuff and just settled with "ah fuck, it works, whatever"
@Jenayah Yup I liked how I originally interpreted how it works and then the Russos contradicted what I thought and now I'm in the position of well then it doesn't really make sense given what happens on screen
@AnkitSharma The Cap thing made sense to me until the Russos said "oh yah that's another timeline and then he jumps back to the original one at then end" and I then decided that I think the Russos have given up their time with the MCU now and so don't care too much with answering questions anymore
hey this it it. This is how we get Alex interested in watching MCU stuff. @Alex, if you watch MCU stuff, you'll be able to write answers contradicting the writers. Also, there's timelines.
Oh and you'll be able to ask so much questions about what makes no sense.
It is centuries after the war that left only a few tribes to wander the land of Tizathy. They include the Sippies (Mississippians), the Zurries (Missourians), and a people who don't speak English but who accommodate a group of traveling explorers hospitably and wave goodbye while saying, "Veedzay...
In S08E03,
Bran says "I'm going to go now..." and wargs away.
Now my question is whether we can categorically rule out that Bran can control, can warg into or is the Night King himself.
Let us not elaborate about the reason Bran would do the things that happened in this case, but rather on...
Odd. The book Sam, of de Pluterdag in its original Dutch language is hard to find (six copies in Belgian libraries, zero in Dutch libraries, none in online bookstores), but in 7 other languages paperbacks are easily available online and in German translation there is even an ebook. Dutch libraries have this book only in German translation...
It was originally written by a Flemish author, in Dutch, published in The Netherlands, but it seems the translation were far more successful than the original.
The case of saving Sirius is fundamentally different from going back in time to save dead people. Simply put, Sirius was fully alive and well at the moment that Harry and Hermione initiated the time travel. They were not trying to change the past; they were trying to change the future. The issue ...
A German colleague mentioned it. Apparently it's about a society in which people decide that they don't have enough time so they introduce an 8th day of the week.
In the TV series Constantine, the titular character uses the magic of different religions and regions. Many different types of magic are used as given here. Many ancient artifacts are used like sinew from Achilles' heel, the ring of Solomon, Icon of Pazuzu, etc. So what are the different countrie...
I've kept up to date with the movies from the MCU, but I am grossly out of date with the TV series, of which I think there is only Agent Carter (not as relevant for the movies I think, besides that scene in Captain America 2), and S.H.I.E.L.D. (which from what I've seen seems more relevant, with ...
In The Trials of Apollo, we see the Waystation as being sentient and responding to the requests for rooms and even getting angry and dropping bricks. The Labyrinth, in the Percy Jackson world, is also described as being a living thing. Therefore, shouldn’t the Waystation eventually become similar...
Oh this one is a gem meta.stackexchange.com/q/327684/398063 thanks the commenter with the canned off-topic for MEta comment, and then edits to make it even broader and off-topicer
@Jenayah Yeah, that gets the tag as a franchise tag. The PJ tag gets a bit complicated with The Jane Chronicles and Magnus Chase, but HoO and ToA are pretty much direct sequel series.
@AncientSwordRage With the Disney+ release there is going to be a few TV shows released, such as Loki and WandaVision, so that's probably where you're getting that from
Goblet of Fire Chapter 26
“There’s a way of doing it!” Hermione said crossly. “There just has
to be!”
She seemed to be taking the library’s lack of useful information on
the subject as a personal insult; it had never failed her before.

So I'm looking for a specific quote and I can't find it. Then I realize that the PDF simply skips from the middle of a conversation at breakfast to the middle of a conversation with Sir Cadogan.
An entire chunk is just gone.
@Jenayah But hopefully I won't contradict myself as to how many times it happened.
