I assumed that would happen. He was supposed to be a main character in the next Avenger movie. So, recast or change the story? I personally don't care for the multiverse stuff so I hope they reboot the story to something else.

I'd say so! It was literally called Avengers The Kang Dynasty

They were already changing the plans before this, they realized Kang was not working out like Thanos did.

That is one advantage to Variants, they don't always have to look like each other. And Loki could do a "Rick & Morty" Omega Device on Kang, removing all Kangs from all Time Lines and Multiverses.

Which brings up a point that I need clearing up. In one instance of the Multiverse, does that have an infinite number of Timelines, and Loki is God of Marvel in this one Multiverse, while other Multiverses have their own versions of the TVA where He Who Remains is still running the show? Or, does the TVA span Multiverses, much like the Quantum Realm?

Inquiring minds want to know…

That would be a great crossover, poor Slow Mobius ( or Uncle Slow).

Thought the TVA spanned all of the Multiverse, hence all the different Lokis in season 1, Alligator Loki was my favorite.

Does not matter, have new writers for the Avengers' movies, no Kang one, Secret Wars is still a go, also a Young Avengers, which is a comic, with the new Hawkeye and Ms Marvel ( my current favorite character, you can just tell the actress loves playing her).

My want:

Don't build up to new Avengers movies. Fantastic Four should be the next tentpole things are built around, and if it's to be a 2-parter, the second part should be the first X-Men movie. Do a multiverse thing, Feature the Fantastic Four and Dr. Strange. Galactus the primary bad guy, but have Doom introduced and ultimately be the big bad that lured Galactus to Earth in the prevailing reality and essentially reset the table for the MCU going forward, new status quo w/ mutants, etc.

In the lead up to that happening, we have the events of the new Captain America and Thunderbolts movies exploring the Dark Avengers storyline, also introducing the Young Avengers to help combat that threat.

Then you have your ground level stories - Blade, Daredevil, Echo, etc all told in various D+/Hulu series and a movie.

Loki provides all the mechanisms for a reset, just as they had all the options in the world once the multiverse and all the timelines were established. Kang gets a one-liner somewhere about 'bigger threats have been thwarted because Loki something something'.

Site is slooooow

For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

Hughesnet cancelling email addresses

Wasn't exactly sure where to post this. Just had a customer come in inquiring about internet. He has HughesNet and had heard good things about mine. He asked if we provided email addresses and it kinda caught me off guard. I said he should be able to keep whatever email he had been using....my sister in law is still using a BellSouth email addy and they haven't been around here for many years. He said he had gotten a letter from HughesNet stating that they had until Nov 16th to save, move, forward, whatever, their Hughesnet emails because they would lose them after that date.

I have never heard of a company simply mass-deleting email accounts (the customer still has his HughesNet service). From what I understand, in the past, the company who was ditching their email service simply sold the customer base to a company like Google.

Anyone else getting this letter. He said he would show it to me tomorrow when I go out there and set up his internet.

Doing a Google of the HughesNet Email notice, it seems that HughesNet has been trying to eliminate hosting emails since 2019. And with HughesNet filing Chapter 11 back in August, it would be a smart move to switch to a more stable Email provider. Even AT&T farmed out their Email to Yahoo! years ago.

SpaceX's Starlink and the Cellular 5G Home Internet solutions have pretty much relegated HughesNet and its high latency, low bandwidth Internet service to History. If Earth had shorter days, maybe a Geostationary Internet Solution might have stood a fighting chance…

Well, I helped him set up a gmail acct....I actually wanted to see what the new process is for setting up a gmail acct since it had been years since I set mine up. Anyway, I showed him how to forward the emails he wanted to keep over.

Man falls to his death on roller coaster at 6 Flags in GA

Can't help but wonder if a worker overlooked checking the harness. I rarely ride a roller coaster anymore but when I do I check the harness myself pretty aggressively.
Can't imagine what the son is going through.

Dad levitated and bled then fell to his death from coaster

Eyewitnesses have shared fresh details of the horrific accident that happened at Six Flags Over Georgia on Monday afternoon.

Back on the Goliath Roller Coaster ... I'm interested to find more details as well ...
Like where on the track did this happen (somewhere I read that it was on the climb up the top), which is impossible ...

They really need to take that ride and add at the very least, seatbelts ...

The Park is opening back up on Friday, the ride will Not be opening ... personally, I would keep it closed until different type of restraints can be designed and installed (over the winter).

I find it hard to believe that this ride is even allowed to be running with the restraints that exist at the moment, there are other rides that use the same type and they have been shut down across the country.

You got to believe that every ride has at least 2 types of restraint systems in place.

I wonder what and when we will hear from the Manufacturer ... and whatever governing bodies control these ...

Just think, this is a Major Amusement Park .... I would not have any problem getting on the Roller Coasters I have rode ...

Imagine what these County Fairs and others like them, I would not be caught Dead on one of them ... they get put up and tore down every other week, where is the safety for those rides ... No Thank You.

It makes sense, however, I would want more types of restraints, so if one doesn't work, the other does ... the restraints coming over the shoulder I would have expected ... with a Seat belt as last resort.

Fwiw, I inquired with what they use on Coasters at Cedar Point, various Coasters, different restraints according to what the car and track requires ...

NONE of the Coasters at CP use THAT particular system

I'm glad to see ...

According to the article, when you see a seat belt on a ride like this, it is basically used as a way of making sure the rider isn't too large/fat to safely ride the ride.

Have you tested using external power? Over the years, have found unpowered polarity switching to be unreliable. Especially problematic when used with DiSEqC motors or switch stacking.

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.

I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?
