I can remember not getting that one as a kid.

Which means he has freak genetics. But I guess not the kind of freak genetics that make him superpowered. (There is a so-called "x-gene" for actual mutants in MU)

In the comics it's supposed to be all muscle, but I don't think he is considered to have any super powers.

I'm not a lawyer, but are there not other crimes which can be charged depending on the driver's level of culpability? Things like Manslaughter exist for when a person is engaging in reckless behavior that causes a person's death.

I would tend to agree that it kind of contradicts the whole "all men are created equal" thing if you decide that US citizens are worthy of certain human rights but non-citizens aren't. In fact referring to them as "inalienable" means that they have those rights whether the government recognizes them or not. But I'm also not a lawyer.

Huh I can't find a reference so perhaps what I read was a "in taste tests most people prefer" rather than being based on sales volume. I remember it mostly because it seemed like an odd fact to me.

Er, I seem to recall reading that calrose rice (as pictured in the preview) is the most popular variety in Japan, and the "cal" is California. Is this just about a subset of people who prefer domestically grown varieties?

The issue with avoiding spoilers is exactly the same if you don't watch it right away when an entire season drops. And it kills the discussion of individual episodes among the community if some people are just binge watching and others aren't. I don't personally feel strongly about either release format, but I definitely think there's not a clearcut answer to which is better.

Part of the reason they're going after non-citizens is because the question of whether non-citizens have the same constitutional rights as citizens is complicated under US law.

Shrug Some people like it one way, some people like it the other way. A slower release format lets you marinate on an episode and generates more discussion. When an entire season drops at a time individual episodes tend to just blur together. I don't think your assertion that nobody likes the weekly format is accurate at all.

There's a lot of things it could be, some of which are eyebrow raising. But as you said, usually when someone is carrying that much cash, there's a reason.
