IIRC Cap’s shield is actually proto-adamantium. They were never able to recreate the formula, and base adamantium is the closest they could get.

Someone else has broken down a lot of examples, but in the broader sense, around half of states, a little more than half IIRC, have an age of consent of 16. The reason 18 is so well known is that’s the age of consent where so much of our media is made, California.

IIRC, it doesn’t actually pay the game itself. We prod the cells, they fire in a certain way and that response is read to convert it to an output for the game. The cells aren’t a rudimentary Doom bot, they’re the controller.

Honestly though, I agree with him. WWW definitely is the safer bet on paper. But safer doesn’t mean foolproof, and the risky ventures sometimes are the most profitable. Making the worse move doesn’t necessarily mean you made the incorrect one.

That opens up all kinds of cans of worms. Let’s say you are put into a medical coma, no thoughts, only eniugh activity to sustain life. You’re scanned, and a perfect copy of you is made. You both wake up in another room, at exactly the same time. Are both versions of you equally “you?” You don’t know which is which. Does the answer change if a 3rd party knows, or there is no knowledge of which is which? If all that matters is continuous stream of consciousness, then I suppose the answer would be you died in the coma, and two people with your memories were born, I suppose.

Most common theory is your brain just decides to dump the short term memory instead of storing it in long term. It decides nothing notable enough happened to keep it.

I misread that as naval play, and then followup with titanic. Was wondering what that weird shit was.
