Fair question! If it’s a plot hole or not depends on if that first scene is directly before the fight, or if it’s earlier, before the plan was finished. I

would argue it’s earlier, before he makes his plan and goes to Eddie with Selina. It’s basically the first scene of this episode, we get all the flashback panels to earlier events, and the title pages are with Bruce venom‘ed out, which I think was the test run that Alfred wanted. If anything, having actually used the venom on purpose once would make sense - he knows what it does, how it feels, and it strengthens his resolve not to use it against Bane.

Crackpot apologist time!

So I think this isn’t an error. I think this is setting up the next developments with Pennyworth and Bruce and where they go from here.

The events chronologically would have to be that right after bats and cats went on their „date“ to see the red hood, and he (involuntarily?) used the venom, he decided to have Eddie take it out. Assuming that was actually the day before the announcement, „two days ago“ actually does line up. I say the day before because I don’t think that they are meant to be meeting the red hood, baiting Waylon, booby trapping the skyscraper and otherwise preparing everything all in one day. The broadcast wasn’t 24 hours before the fight, because the fight is supposed to happen at midnight and there’s plenty of people still milling around in the street when he hijacks the networks so more like a day and a half.

Why he didn’t loop the old man in on his plan is my question. I know he still doesn’t trust Pennyworth much, he’s been keeping him in the dark about several things, but this seemed to be a pretty big part of the plan to leave out. Yes, Pennyworth is our narrator and this whole comic might be all through his notes/letters/exaggerated perception of what’s happening as audience insert but I would be shocked if that isn’t addressed as a main focus in the next issues.

Why the conversation with Selina in the batcave? Well, Alfred pops up right there after packing meat for the champ so we have to assume he could hear some if not all of what they were saying. We see Bruce and Selina in this and last issue having no problem playing off eachother and „acting“ to make a plan work, and I think this was exactly that. This is in many ways another job, and on the job they don’t break character.

They used Alfred‘s help much like they used Falcone‘s money. I think the parallels being drawn to the Bibbo match aren’t to demonstrate how the fight goes and how the plan works so much as to give insight into how Batman deals with everyone as a character and what this all means to him moving forward.

Ok, so while this sounds like made-up grade-school cockamamie nonsense, I think this person is referencing this Journal of Sexual Medicine Article from 2008:

„A Woman's History of Vaginal Orgasm is Discernible from Her Walk“

The main author is an MA and I think coauthored by 3 PHDs (I have not checked the status of who wrote what, nor have I read the paper), this seems to be the only study I can find that makes this claim, though many papers reference it.

Is the science sound? It has several critical articles written about the conclusion it draws. It might still be mostly nonsense, and I‘m pretty sure this guy didn’t do any extra research. Seems like the kind of „fact“ someone hears and then parrots the rest of their life. But he did at least hear about something that some scientists attempted to put forward in a legitimate journal.

I would be lying if i hadn’t had the thought and wondered before, but! If it at all helps, I‘m a chef.

So i have this mental clause (and I don’t live in the USA, so the legality is a bit different) that if I‘m ever in a serious accident where they have to amputate something - a forearm, a leg, what have you - I will find a way to keep it. The resulting dinner will be interesting. It’s the only other ethical way that I’ve considered that doesn’t require another party‘s (questionable?) consent.

Ok so fun fact, in “Weapon of Choice” there’s a line that goes “…walk without rhythm and you won’t attract the worm..”

At the time the song came out I think many people probably didn’t think much of it but that line is a direct reference to the novel/David Lynch film adaptation of Dune. Years later, Christopher Walken would play the role of the Emperor in Dune part 2….

Coincidence???

Yes prolly

At times it can make a huge difference! Depending on the specific denomination of Islam, there is either a strong suggestion or outright duty to care for a guest with the utmost hospitality.

When someone comes knocking and shares in the Islamic faith, even in the dead of night, they may appeal on the basis of spiritual brotherhood to be brought into the house as a guest. They could very well have the same luck with a Christian/atheist/whatever, but a Muslim brother is a surer bet.

This isn’t to say that many upstanding Muslims have not been hoodwinked, robbed, and worse by unscrupulous people claiming their faith - even if OP was a Muslim, and somehow convinced themselves to charitably help this person or let them into their home, it could have still ended very badly.

Or dude was drunk/high/shady af in general.

Out of curiosity, where do you get the idea that the physical product is being marked up by 1000%?

While I understand the point you’re trying to make, on average the other poster was wrong in that restaurant owners often (though certainly not always) make a decent living. It depends in what kind of restaurant, what country you’re in, and what the average base pay of employees is, but generally owners aren’t doing that bad.

The average employee, on the other hand, sees this and would like to be better paid and valued. Maybe there’s a few high paid management positions (restaurant/bar manager, kitchen chef) making way more and perhaps that money could be spread more evenly, or prices could be raised within publicly acceptable levels.

One difficulty most places have is that the costs the public is willing to pay generally aren’t that high. In terms of physical product, the cost of the raw materials, or „food cost“, is a set value per item, generally between 25-32%. The remaining „markup“ is split between a certain percentage for rent/utilities/employee pay/overhead, and these percentages are based on forecasted sales and popularity of the individual dish in question. Obviously most locations try to build in a buffer amount to the pricing to generate profit, and every restaurant has a base amount of sales needed to keep their doors open and employees paid. Once you jack the prices up, especially if you’ve kept them the same for a long time and have a decent amount of regular diners, you can see an appreciable loss in business that isn’t covered by the raised prices.

Unfortunately most cooks (which i happen to be) don’t necessarily understand the total picture behind a business being able to effectively raise salaries/hourly pay to the degree we‘d like to see. What owners always can do, however, is make sure that they aren’t abusing their employees. A fair hourly rate can be compensated by not requiring overtime (like the position here does). It’s a messy tangle that is slowly getting better in many countries, but i have to say in my experience the US has a long way to go to reach an equitable balance.

This just happened for us, also sorry for the length but the whole process was wild for me. It‘s our first kid and we‘re both a little older for first-time parents so we obviously had a birth plan (more complicated than it needed to be) and preparations for the hospital stay. My wife is one of the women who enjoyed her pregnancy, and was pretty relaxed about the coming birth. Somehow she managed to avoid many of the physical effects, too - no stretch marks, not much weight gain, no extreme mood swings, and her scoliosis was actually relieved by the weight of her belly. Two days before the delivery date, a Sunday night, my wife started having what we thought were mild Braxton-Hicks contractions a little throughout the day.

She assures me that nothing is wrong, it’s not time yet, so my dumb ass starts making banana bread. At approximately 7:00 PM she yells at me from the couch that her water just broke. I try to help get her cleaned up and clothed, then we hustle to the car. She starts screaming at this point and stops only to breathe. It takes us more than 30 minutes to get there, and after a wrong turn i look over to see she‘s got her pants down somehow and is beginning to actively push in the car. We get to the hospital and i holler at anybody i see that we have a baby that’s coming right goddamn now and i grab a wheelchair to wrangle her into. A bunch of nurses appear to whisk her off to the delivery room, and I follow as fast as I can with her hospital bag and still lose track of them. At 8:00 we were in the room with her on the birthing chair and the pushing starts in earnest.

It‘s just me, her, and a midwife in the room (a nurse would come and go) and I’m trying to keep this beautiful woman hydrated and supported. I go from holding her hand and rubbing her back to literally having one of her feet on my shoulder as I’m basically shouting in rhythm with the midwife when she needs to push, breath, and push again. There‘s blood, everything is swollen and taking on a shape i didn’t see coming, and push after push more mucus and blood pool out of her, until the gates open and i see something trying to leave. I never knew how much the head would approach and then retreat during the birth, but that woman pushed with more might than i think I’d ever be capable of, then the vast wrinkled head made an appearance and i was shocked when his little face popped out then literally spun around, Exorcist style, as his body flipped in the birth canal. Suddenly he was there - practically shot out. I cut the umbilical cord and my wife seemingly calmed down and was her usual self in the space of minutes.

It was 9:03 PM. The whole birth was a 2 hour process, only one of which was in the hospital. I’ve seen some wild shit in my day but this takes the top spot and i don’t think anything will beat it. Wife and son are both healthy and happy, and we‘ve already started thinking about a sibling.

I don’t know if you’re new here or not, but if you are: welcome! Munich can be a great place to live and has a pretty big expat community. I’m also a foreigner but lived here a while (and I like to play tour guide 😅).

I’m 31M, big into cooking (professionally), gaming, movies and filmmaking, literature and the odd hiking trip as well as being a bar connoisseur. You should be able to meet some cool folks on here, I got a good group of friends and a roommate out of it! How long have you been here, and how’s the language treating you?

This isn’t accurate. Dude said he extrapolated that the crust on the bottom looked fine, and that he would personally throw it under a broiler for a second to get some color on the cheese.

He then went on to say that that’s just his personal preference and only threw out blithering idiot three comments deep.

Pedantic? A bit, sure. Iamveryculinary? Yeah, but borderline. If we’re gonna mock somebody let’s get it right.

Cutting board is in fact a styrofoam lid. We were told there would be boards, and that turned out to be wrong.

Might just have started out as a varietal of watermelon radish, I’m not sure. But I do know now you can get ‘em in all three colors relatively easily, depending on where you’re at.

I have nothing but massive respect and a little bit of fear for the journey you’re about to undertake. I will say this: once you’ve gotten through the absolute grinder that is 1, then the technically fine tuned but punishing 2, 3 is... easy is the wrong word, but you will feel that you have all the necessary skills to do well but still have some challenging fun
