A magnetic alloy is a combination of various metals from the periodic table that contains at least one of the three main magnetic elements: iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), and cobalt (Co).

In Marvel continuity, Mjolnir is forged by Dwarven blacksmiths, and is composed of the fictional Asgardian metal uru.

And here's the minor nitpick that REALLY irked me, lol. I'm not sure that many people owned VCRs in 1983. At one point they do a scan through Mike's living room and they've got like four of those video tape storage units stacked together. That's like at least 40 tapes. Mike's family seems pretty well off so I guess it's not unbelievable. But when even Will's dirt poor family starts talking about watching tapes it starts to push credibility.

OK, this is how much this irked me. I just went and looked up prices in the Sears 1983 Christmas catalog. A brand new, top-of-the-line TV was $800. That was the best of the best, with most other TVs in the 400 to $700 range. But Sears most expensive VCR (they only had 3 in the catalog) was $840! More expensive than their best TV! The other two prices were $480 (VHS) and $380 (Beta). So VCRs pretty much costs the same as television sets. But every family's got one in Stranger Things! It's a tiny, tiny, little detail. But it's just something that caught my attention.

You know some things that WERE huge in '83 but the show glosses over? Arcades! Surprisingly we only got one off hand mention of an arcade (when Will's brother is describing things Will likes to do). At the end there's also mention of all the kids getting Ataris. I thought that meant that all these families must have got settlement checks or hush money. But nope, that actually fits! Christmas '83 was the start of the video game crash and Ataris were going for only 60 bucks after an Atari rebate! So it makes perfect sense that all the kids were getting them for Christmas '83! That was one of the things that was spot on.

I mean, I wish they'd win and force Youtube to be more transparent, but they won't win and just waste their money.

‘It’ Director Andy Muschietti to Helm ‘Robotech’ for Sony

While his highly anticipated movie version of Stephen King’s “It” doesn’t bow for another two months, Andy Muschietti looks to have already found his follow-up, attaching himself to Sony’s adaptation of “Robotech.”

Muschietti’s creative partner Barbara Muschietti will join Gianni Nunnari and Mark Canton in producing the project, which is based on the 1980s cartoon series from Harmony Gold USA and Japan’s Tatsunoko Productions.

The story is set in a time when Earth has developed giant robots from the technology of an alien spacecraft that crashed on a South Pacific island and is now using that technology to fight off an impending alien invasion.

The property has attracted everyone from Leonardo DiCaprio to James Wan over the years. Sony now hopes Muschietti can finally push it into production.

Sanford Panitch and Matthew Milam are overseeing for Columbia.

Muschietti broke onto the scene with his horror hit “Mama” starring Jessica Chastain. He was then tasked with replacing Cary Fukunaga as director on Warner Bros.’ adaptation of “It,” which is now one of the most anticipated movies of the fall.

Good luck to them.

Creators Who Lost Revenue During “Adpocalypse” Seek Class Action Lawsuit Against YouTube

YouTube’s “Adpocalypse” has had a dramatic effect on the revenue streams of some YouTube-based operations, and a channel that has been hit particularly hard is now making a legal challenge to the world’s top video site. James Sweet and Chuck Meré, the Arkansas-based creators behind the Zombie Go Boom channel, have sued YouTube in hopes of revealing the mechanics of the company’s brand safety algorithms.

The story leading up to Sweet and Meré’s lawsuit begins in March 2017, when several brands pulled advertising from YouTube after learning that some spots had been automatically attached to videos promoting terrorism and hate speech. In response, the video site improved its safeguards by making it easier for brands to avoid pairing their ads with risky content types.

That action seems as if it has appeased brands, but it had an unintended effect as well. Some creators complained that their channels had become unintended victims of YouTube’s effort to shield brands from dangerous content. Many channels saw massive drops in revenue, with some losing almost all of their ads.

One of those channels was Zombie Go Boom. Sweet and Meré’s hub, on which they test all sorts of weapons on dummies modeled to look like the undead, is unabashedly bloody and violent. Due to the nature of their content, Sweet and Meré allege they 90 to 95 of their revenue thanks to the Adpocalypse. After making between $10,000 to $15,000 per month (which comes out to about $333 to $500 per day) on ads before YouTube updated its safeguards, they saw their intake drop to $20 to $40 per day.

Sweet and Meré’s lawsuit, according to MediaPost, is targeting California’s unfair competition law. The two creators hope that they can compel YouTube to reveal the specifics of its algorithms. “YouTube has a duty to disclose, with detailed specificity and complete transparency, the terms by which content is selected or deselected for monetization,” reads the complaint. “Failing to disclose this essential information to content providers, along with maintaining unilateral control to change the terms and conditions which govern the payment received by content providers for their creative work is anti-competitive, harmful to the creative content market, and also a breach of good faith and fair dealing.”

A big obstacle the lawsuit will have to overcome can be found right at the top of YouTube’s terms of service. “Although we may attempt to notify you when major changes are made to these Terms of Service, you should periodically review the most up-to-date version,” the policy reads. “YouTube may, in its sole discretion, modify or revise these Terms of Service and policies at any time, and you agree to be bound by such modifications or revisions. Nothing in these Terms of Service shall be deemed to confer any third-party rights or benefits.”

YouTube itself offered a brief comment about the legal case. “We have always worked hard to provide creators with the opportunity to earn revenue on our platform,” a YouTube spokesperson said.

Sweet and Meré hope to turn their lawsuit into a class-action affair that will include multiple content creators as its plaintiffs. We’ll keep tabs on the case to see if it gains momentum as it moves along.

what kinda sjw feminist garbage is this

I see you're not actually a Doctor Who fan then. Because if you were you'd appreciate this is not surprising and sits firmly within the accepted lore.

If you accept the last three to four years as "accepted lore." That's pretty much a drop in the bucket of a 50 year canon. So... I'd be careful saying that it's "accepted" or "established" lore. It's really just something that hit mainstream canon in the last few years.

The dumbest thing about all this is that Doctor Who's "lore" and "Canon" changed every week anyway

No one really cared until the reboot

Is Google/YouTube taking a bigger cut of the ad revenue now than in years' past (aka scamming content creators)? Or is it something else?

You know that no one believes that right.
You just violated probation.

Ever seen the movie "Law Abiding Citizen"?

I actually haven't. Is it about a man who tries to fool his probation officer by saying "my friend recorded it." Cause I've seen that plot before. Spoiler alert: The probation officer sends him to jail anyways.

Can only do a max of 60 days and that ends probation.

Whatever was supposed to happen in my life hasn't, and can't anymore.

I personally prefer unstable 10fps, for a much better experience I'd like it to drop straight to 1fps from time to time so I can appreciate every tiny bit of work that went into each frame, one second at a time. Pure bliss.

Imagine white knighting Anita on CE in a silly joke topic. Just imagine it.

Thoughts CE?

I think it lends a lot of credibility to Anita's argument about harrassment when this is the kind of level that her detractors are stooping to.
