An interesting perspective, but not the only one. The SotMK game was designed to be social. For example, some of the SotMK portals were in out-of-the-way locations, like a side alley on Main Street, or a restaurant in Adventureland. But, as the author says, most were out in the middle of...

👏 YES!!!

Actually, it probably could, but it would have to be a complex design, and would take a top studio and a lot of money to make (not even considering what TWDC would charge for the rights). In fact, it likely would be better than the older MK version, since a newer program could consider the...

Actually there was a Sorcerer Mickey card, labeled "Apprentice Mickey's Broomsticks" that looked just like that, and, appropriately, it was Star card number 01, had the base weapon of broomsticks, mystic spells and charming action. It was basically an medium-level attack card, but with a power...

If it helps, here's the Sept. 1 50% news release from Moderna itself: https://investors.modernatx.com/news-releases/news-release-details/moderna-announces-submission-initial-data-us-fda-its-covid-19

Well ... because the foreground in this picture was the same as in the "There was a roach, but he moved" picture ... I first thought it was a picture of the roach. :oops: Great photos, btw. Please keep them up, along with the fun commentary.

It's more complicated than that. Moderna at 100% is more effective than at 50%, but 50% is really, really good, and saves a ton of vaccine and packaging. Plus, one of Moderna's advantages has always been that it doesn't need the advanced refrigeration that Pfizer does, so was much better for...

Moderna is not a problem; their data is still very good. Two days ago, the company applied to the FDA for approval for a booster shot at 50% of the original dose, to be administered six months after the last original jab. NPR reported the company said: "Antibodies had waned six months after...

One issue with the "send in the Big 3, one at a time," approach is that it wouldn't be like SotMK's original approach. Part of the appeal of the game was to combine the trading card aspect with the ability to choose how your champions would be chosen and used. First you had to build your deck...

Well, I'm biased because ... I was chosen out of the audience to play "Davy Crockett's Ghost" on stage in HDD, complete with dressing up in pink tutu, and dancing. But I also think the HDD food was better, and the experience of being in Ft. Wilderness, with all the build-up of going to Pioneer...

Actually, I loved the "old" Epcot for what they tried to do with it: educate people. The first day I went into Epcot (1983-ish), I hated it. It was so slow. But it gradually dawned on me that it was a different kind of park, where I didn't just get banged around on coasters or dropped from high...

1) Because some of us spent hours at the Shooting Gallery as kids? 2) Because one of the most-used (and now closed) Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom video game terminals is just to the left of the Shooting Gallery (where some of us spent hours at the terminals as adults)? 3) Because one of the...

👍 I tell people I write for an audience of nine (and their clerks).

What was the old Epcot daytime sky spectacular with daytime fireworks, ultralight aircraft with banners, and I think I remember kites? I just looked it up and the one with kites was Surprise in the Skies (not the earlier Skyleidescope). That was actually pretty good for what it was. The kites...

In the world of weird effects from Covid-19, a new August 25 study out from Univ. Calif. Irvine Profs. Jonathan Cervas and Bernard Grofman in the Social Science Quarterly projects that New York State just lost a seat in Congress and Minnesota gained one because of deaths from Covid. And the...

I saw it as a weak attempt to confuse people about their chief competitor for the vaccine: Moderna.

Been there, done that! :rolleyes:

Happens all the time, more often as you move up in the appeals process. Part of the problem is that legislatures often/usually aren't very clear in what they write, but also there are often fights that we call "rights vs. rights," where the decision requires a lot of balancing. That's why people...

First two (denied relief) were Safe Schools, 3 and 4 (granted relief) were separation of powers, and 5 (dismissed because the plaintiffs didn't actually sue the Dept of Health so the Court couldn't issue an order against them) was against DoH implementation of the Governor's mask ban order. A...

\lurk off\ I missed the beginning of the session, but heard the Order recitation; here's a quick analysis of the Court's Order as read. Judge Cooper granted a permanent injunction in this case, but it simply requires government agencies (and not the Governor) to follow existing Florida law...
