Found Jolee Bindo's account.

I first saw this on the ml equivalent community and a decent chunk of comments were pretty unhinged.

Oh, yeah, that's a derp for me.

he never was called “Adolph”, ever.

I did not know this. Did they just never use his first name or did he have some kind of preferred nickname?

He’s always depicted as hand-to-mouth poor.

And when he started a business and started doing well financially they introduced a second Spider-Man who was broke again.

If there is a commercial failure of an IP, there is a good chance that its failure will be seen as the IP generally failing or falling out of poluarity instead of the failure to best utilize the IP that likely occurred.

For example, when EA released Tiberian Twilight and it was absolutely awful and didn't sell, they said that people just didn't want RTS games anymore and shelved the entire C&C franchise. That was fourteen years ago and we haven't had a new C&C since then that wasn't mobile shovelware.

Home Alone where Culkin plays Kevin again, but he's an adult and paranoid about people breaking into his house while his wife is on vacation, so he's rigged the whole thing as a death trap.

I used a Steam Controller for the N64 stuff. The right pad worked great for the C buttons.

I had one of those. Loved it, but the sticks didn't last long enough to justify buying another.

Depends on the card and what condition it's in. My most valuable one turned out to be worth about five bucks. None of mine were particularly rare and they weren't in excellent condition.

granduncle?

Great-uncle is the term you're looking for.

So, this is likely just the randomness of gene inheritance.

If we express cosanguinuity as percentages, you and your parent are at 50%, you and your grandparent 25%, etc. You get half your DNA from each parent, after all. But what about siblings? With siblings, you get into averages. You and your full sibling each got half your DNA from your mother and half from your father, but because the selection from each is random you could share anywhere from 0% to 100%. Rather than a flat 50%, you get a bell curve that peaks at 50%.

What if your sibling has a child with someone unrelated to you? Well, you and your niece or nephew are probably at about 25%, but because siblings are on a curve and there's a pair involved, you could be anywhere from 0% to 50%.

Similarly, first-cousins are typically about 12.5%, but 25% wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility and you could even get 50% if, say, their fathers are identical twins. If you and your cousin are simply on the upper end of the cosanguinuity bell curve, I could easily see one of those systems getting confused and thinking you're half-siblings, who would have a curve from 0% to 50% and peaking at 25%.

In short, testing just two random relatives doesn't actually tell you a lot unless you're testing a (supposed) ancestor and descendant. You would need to also get your parents and your cousin's parents tested to get anything definitive, and testing your grandparents too wouldn't be a bad idea for accuracy.
