A specific scene shows her fear turning into an illusion, and the book replaces her baby, implying a possible deal with a dark force, potentially Mephisto. In the comics, Agathaā€™s son is Nicholas Scratch, and the MCU leaves his fate open-ended. This scene might lay the foundation for a deeper exploration of Nicholasā€™ role and potential return. > > > Is Nicholas Scratch dead or alive in the MCU? Episode 3 suggests he may have died during the exchange for the Darkhold, but some speculate he could still be alive. Given the magical nature of the trade and the MCUā€™s history of reviving characters, Nicholas might still play a role. His story could be connected to darker forces like Mephisto. > > > Did Agathaā€™s son turn into a rabbit or become an Agent of Mephisto? Fans have speculated that Agathaā€™s pet rabbit, SeƱor Scratchy, could actually be her son, Nicholas Scratch, transformed by dark magic. This theory is supported by the fact that ā€œScratchā€ is a known pseudonym for Nicholas in the comics. The transformation could be the result of Agathaā€™s deal for the Darkhold, possibly conducted by Mephisto or another powerful entity. Alternatively, Nicholas Scratch may have become an agent of Mephisto, tasked with serving the demon in exchange for power. Both theories draw from comic lore, but the mystery surrounding SeƱor Scratchy deepens Agathaā€™s complex character and opens the door for further revelations as the MCU expands its magical universe.

According to pictures circulating the internet, she's taking on the role of Death. In the comics she was a major factor in Marvel's Infinity War comics, but the Russos opted not to bring her to their adaptation. > > > Who Joe Locke Is Really Playing In Agatha All Along > > > > CinemaBlend's Nick Venable dropped a few guesses on who Joe Locke is playing in Agatha All Along, and one of them was right on the money. I'm sure many people thought "Teen" was Billy Maximoff, but there was still speculation on whether he'd adopt the Wiccan persona in this miniseries. Based on the Funko Pop reveal, it's looking like he will be doing that, though we can't say that with absolute certainty until we see it on screen. >

    Force resize externally linked images? Generate thumbnails of externally linked images?

    External images could be linked and displayed using:

    • ![](external url)

    Then Lemmy images could be resized which I think also shrinks the file size; hence faster display time, save internet data, and save screen space; by adding &thumbnail=:

    • ![](https://lemmy. .../pictrs/image/... .webp?format=webp&thumbnail=320)

    So, is it possible to do similar but for any external image? Or at least generate thumbnails of many external images? Thanks in advance.

    How come LED Light Bulbs only last for about 2-3 Years?
  • What would you recommend?

    Philips.

  • Official poster for "Thunderbolts*"
  • ThanksšŸ‘, so Sentry then and Lewis Pullman. I didn't recognize him there. Nice, "Bob", same as in Top Gun Maverick.

  • Official poster for "Thunderbolts*"
  • Question, who's the character under Bucky's gun? So seven field members of Thunderbolts?

    Can't wait for the film. Seems like they have incredible chemistry.

  • How do I fix this in yt-dlp?
  • Well, they'll probably see it. I think Lemmy users should post there too to trigger them. The Reddit counterpart Mods with those same names are active in the Subreddit counterpart, not just by Mod activity but they're actually knowledgeable of yt-dlp usage and other programs like Python, and they actually answer/reply there. So hopefully the Lemmy counterpart becomes active too, like at least cross post.

  • where did you know about lemmy and why did you start using it
  • From this particular Reddit post:

    I tested several from the list. So thank you to the kind poster (a Mod actually).

  • How do I fix this in yt-dlp?
    1. Alright, I checked your screenshot, your results have no single AV1.
    2. Your -S "codec" seems to be not working as you intended anymore. Sometimes the ranking changes too through time, so you must update your command line. Happened to me too before. For example, use -S vcodec:av01. Again, don't forget, your results have no single AV1, hence no AV1 could be downloaded.
  • How do I fix this in yt-dlp?
  • So far works for me. For example Joshua vs Dubois highlight:

    yt-dlp.exe -S vcodec:av01 -F https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZJCDbszAE4

    As you can see, the bottom are 399, 398, 397, 396, etc., all AV1 formats. Last is 399 which is 1080p. The last on the list is the one would be downloaded, especially if you have FFmpeg.

  • How do I fix this in yt-dlp?
  • Ah, alright. Try yt-dlp.exe -S vcodec:av01. Note however, not all YouTube videos have AV1 counterparts, and then other sites use different code for AV1, so I'm not sure if the command would always work for other non-YT sites.

  • How do I fix this in yt-dlp?
  • Just use yt-dlp.exe url.

    Also, there's a dedicated youtube-dl Community, with the Mods with the same names as in Reddit's counterpart, so it's likely them too: !youtubedl@lemm.ee

  • Disney/Marvel will be releasing "DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE" on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray on October 22.
  • Hopefully there's true IMAX too, and not just cropped (which would cut out actual parts of the screen) to simulate its aspect ratio.

    > Source: Gaming Bible: 2024.09.20 Marvel accidentally spoils major MCU twist early via subtitles > > > While itā€™s usually other people that spoil things for you, Marvel fans have been spoiled by the YouTube trailer for Agatha All Along, by the subtitles of all things. For Agatha All Along though youā€™ll want to switch them off though, as the real identity of the twist character ā€œTeenā€ has already been revealed through them accidentally.

    What are your favorite Star Trek series?
    • Star Trek
    • Next Generation
  • Elizabeth Olsen Is ā€œHappyā€ to Return to Marvel, but Only ā€œIf Thereā€™s a Good Way to Useā€ Scarlet Witch
  • Easy, just show/claim she was in fact controlled or possessed by an evil entity, say like Chthon, not just plain corrupted. Just like Bucky was when he was still the Winter Soldier. Just like that Wanda variant in MoM whom Wanda possessed to defeat the Illuminati back there.

  • I can't be the only one of us pumped for Agatha All Along
  • I'm excited too. Agatha All Along for series, then Thunderbolts for film. The last which really fulfilled it was Deadpool & Wolverine.

  • Putin: lifting Ukraine missile restrictions would put Nato ā€˜at warā€™ with Russia
  • NATO should at least shoot down missiles and drones which enter their sovereign airspace. Save Ukrainian lives and structures. Would also be actual experience of shooting down such actual enemy hardware in their own airspace. No simulation, no controlled environment. Would also train their AI for real.

  • What are your favorite examples of 'media within media' (e.g., shows, stories, or movies inside of other shows or books)?
    • Nation's Pride, in Inglourious Basterds. "Who wants to send a message to Germany?!" ~Fredrick Zoller

    • "I'd buy that for a dollar." in RoboCop.

  • If you could time travel, what would you change ?
  • I prefer to rewind time with me along, be young again, that kind of time travel. Of course with my knowledge and memories of up to before my "time travel", be retained. I could only remember what I could any way. The future would surely not happen exactly as the same before. Live a new younger life, a seemingly fresh restart at an early point in my life.

  • Are garlic, onion as plants; human urine as fertilizer; compatible with isopods, sow bugs?
  • Thanks for the quick reply. So maybe indeed urine was the culprit of the sow bug's demise after all. I thought they were robust enough for both feces and urine, as I have seen some internet pics of pill bugs feasting on I think dog poop, although those are big pill bugs and not the small sow bugs in mine, and of course those using isopods as clean up crews in tanks, hence I arrived to the wrong conclusion. Interestingly, the small pinhead-sized beetles are not affected.

    Just when I thought I got endless supply of fertilizer for almost per day. I was even dreaming of having a new raised enclosure just for the urine to be buried regularly (along with scraps) and thinking to have the sow bugs to have a feast, hence to have ready-to-use soil for pots. Before the appearance of these sow bugs, the last I've seen them were decades ago.

    Luckily I still have surviving numbers from the Papaya pot which I must take care to remultiply. Back quite a while, I remember whenever I scoop the soil from the raised bed, there were immediately numerous sow bugs but none today anymore. I'm glad back some months I scooped some and put in the papaya pot.

    Also glad that both onion and garlic plants have no effect on them as I remember reading they have antibacterial or something properties.

    Thanks again, my friend. šŸ‘

  • Are garlic, onion as plants; human urine as fertilizer; compatible with isopods, sow bugs?

    Hello. Any of you who have robust experience for the compatibility of the three: garlic, onion, and human urine, to isopods in garden and pot soil?

    Maybe for 2 years I've been burying scraps into my small raised garden of about 1m long x 0.25m wide x 0.3m tall, located just under our front living room windows, for the hope to lure earthworms, but the isopods and beetles manifested instead. Beetles are only the size of silver pin heads, while the isopods have tinge of red, and adult size is about the length of a mung bean seed, of course not as thick. They're really small and delicate.

    After 2 years I got enticed to use human urine (our own) as fertilizer. I don't really dilute it, I just dig a hole then pour the liquid and wait for it to fully settle down then re-cover with the dug soil.

    Lately I noticed the population of the isopods really went down after less than a year. In fact I don't see them anymore when I dig soil anywhere there. But I don't really know if the urine affected them as my dig sites are often the same 2 locations since there are already existing plants. I only started to really see them again after I transplanted a Papaya from its pot to a bigger pot yesterday, which delighted me of their surviving small numbers there.

    Still I don't really know if the urine affected the bugs or if their population simply dwindled on its own. The urine surely would not spread across the entirety of my raised garden as those are 2 same locations, and so the bugs have way larger safe areas to go to.

    My adult chili pepper plant in a separate big pot also died, and my suspect was the urine because I didn't dilute it much, but I'm not really sure too, because that chili plant had been producing fruits continuously for maybe 3 months straight, and I don't know if that chili pepper plant was in fact really a perennial because I got it from the wet market. So my 2 suspects are the urine and the true lifespan of the plant.

    Then how about garlic and onion plants, are they compatible with the isopods? Right now I have on the table 2 garlic bulbs, 1 red onion, and 1 white onion with sprouts already so I placed it on water in a small cup.

    Now after researching, I think my bugs are sow bugs because they don't form a ball.

    I really want the isopods to prosper because I noticed the buried materials were gone way, way faster.

    Thanks in advance for any enlightenment.

    [challenge] How would the Predators and Aliens do, progress in the MCU Void?

    !

    [Challenge]

    Say whole planets, even whole timelines were pruned and sent to the MCU Void.

    All possible variants of the Aliens / Xenomorps and Predators, including bosses like Queens, Newborn (Ripley's), Predalien, Ultimate/Upgrade Pred (giant), etc.

    • R1 - Only Alien franchise is pruned.
    • R2 - Only Predator franchise is pruned.
    • R3 - Both are pruned simultaneously.

    Would any of the species prosper, or get eliminated? Could any representative of the species escape the Void?

    Facebook: Can Friends & Followers know what you Share in a Group Chat?

    Your personal FB Profile has some Friends and Followers. Then that same personal Profile of yours is a member of a certain Group Chat (not Group), but the Friends and Followers are not members of that Group Chat.

    So if you use the Share function of FB and share a post, a reel, a pic (from the FB platform itself) to that Group Chat, would your Friends and Followers know that in fact you shared something to that Group Chat, or even just a general something, like say "John Doe has shared this \<reel\> to a Group Chat". Would such appear on their feed, notification, or somewhere else in FB?

    I'm thinking of creating a separate Page, and then use that Page to share stuff (from the FB platform itself) to a Group Chat, to maintain my privacy from my Friends and Followers regarding that Group Chat. But I don't know if a Page is even allowed to join a Group Chat. Again "Group Chat" and not "Group", which are not the same. If this is allowed, please let me know too.

    Thanks in advance.

    When I Post using video's URL like YouTube's, the leftside square Thumbnail is always the generic one?

    Hello. When I Post by putting the video's URL, say from YouTube, the leftside square thumbnail preview is always the generic one provided by Lemmy World, the one with the the link arrow in the middle. So I simply put the URL of the thumbnail instead (eg. maxresdefault, sddefault, etc.) It's been like such since I joined.

    Then just lately, I found out existing Posts in other YouTube-related Communities, the leftside square preview thumbnails do in fact show, and with the link arrow on the top-right corner instead. And I think the Body automatically inherits the existing Title and Description from the YouTube video. Both youtu.be and www.youtube.com video links work in those Communities.

    Examples of YouTube-related Communities with showing Thumbnails are:

    • c/youtubehaiku
    • c/youtube

    Here is my latest Post as example (which I have never edited yet), and I posted it via a raw Chromium profile, so no add-ons at all if they would interfere just in case:

    2015 Fury Road: Could Nux have survived in the end of the film?
    • When Nux crashed on the War Rig, he and Max survived intact, no injuries at all. Although Nux was unconscious for quite a time. Note that Nux was driving only a car back then, and even Max was tied as his blood bag outside, and yet they they were both perfectly fine, unbelievably especially Max who I remember got thrown. Nobody should have survived that, even leave unscathed, but they both did.

    • Then when Nux purposefully crashed the War Rig to block the path, even after the Doof Wagon eventually rammed it, both big trucks were seemingly intact after the collision. No explosion, no final Nux body nor even the sequence of his body's demise unlike Rictus'.

    • What do you guys think? Possible that Nux survived? The War Rig's cabin was in fact fully intact too, only the wheels came off IIRC. And it was Nicholas Hoult too after all.

    • Would Nux be worthy of one or a few extra adventures before his cancer finally end him?

    ----

    • Then IIRC, Nux and Capable (the redhead of "Immortan Joe's Wives") seemed to liked each other back then, showing more character development than any other War Boy. So if any WB who would probably break the tradition / programming, it could be Nux. When he uttered his final "Witness me", it could very well not for Immortan Joe (nor even for Valhalla too) anymore but for the survival of Capable and the party. So any tertiary character to have a comic, short film, short story, etc., it could be him, don't you think?

    1966 Batman & Robin - Adam West, Burt Ward

    Classic 1966 Batman & Robin: Adam West and Burt Ward, among my favorite iterations of the dynamic duo.

    Burt Ward: "There are several fine actors who have portrayed Batman in films. In my eyes, there was only one real Batman. That is and always will be Adam West. He was truly the Bright Knight."
