Any implement will do. I just use a spoon. Tap along the circumference of the lid. This action eventually throws the lid out of alignment, thus, releasing the vacuum seal and loosening the lid.

I’m down to just a few useless things that have sentimental and personal cool value to me.

If anything, getting rid of most material, unused possessions in my life has made me appreciate even more the few things I decided to keep (for now).

One thing to remember is that what appeared to be the plans for the future Death Star appeared in Attack of the Clones, and the storage device for it was a lot smaller than the larger storage medium that Jyn extracted.

So how to reconcile this? My thoughts are that what Jyn took also contains more than just blueprints…

Regarding the holographic communications: It probably looks lousy because it has to travel over vast distances through space. So the video stream probably has to be heavily compressed in order to have such a call be experienced between two people in near real-time.

This. Not everything needs to be gooped together.

I wonder if GW Bush would be willing to set aside his and his family’s personal(and understandable) issues with Trump for the sake of the nation and advise Trump, too, if Trump was willing to listen, and Bill Clinton asked Bush.

No joke. At this stage, if the last three ex Presidents would be willing to teach Trump and…

God we can only hope so. School House Rock is, actually, a pretty damn good start.

It’s disconcerting to watch a recording of yourself. And there are many great actors who can’t do it. Jessica Lange, for one, has said she’s been unable to watch herself in most of her roles, including American Horror Story.

In a way, I think it makes sense in the craft of acting to not watch yourself nor to remember…

Shhh...! The First Rule of The Concourse is to not mention Gawker! *wink*

For years, I’ve tried to explain to friends and family that KFC is not traditional “fried chicken” at all. It’s the cooking process that makes it taste unique (the tenderness and mouth-feel you experience as you chew it), and it’s a process that the average person cannot replicate at home, cheaply and safely. It’s not…

It looks like “C” is the most compatible across the world outside the U.S.. But I wonder what flaws this format has over the others, including the U.S.’s.

This sounds like a “scout’s honor” thing. But anyone who has to wear glasses/contacts, and thus would have to use the adaptive tools of Windows 7 or Windows 8 to interact with the OS when not wearing corrective lenses should qualify. Technically speaking.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Microsoft later extends the free…

AAAAAnd... Nintendo will probably shut him down soon.

Jason, check this out — these pedal bikes could be used to implement your idea!

I don’t see what legal ground Hasbro would have anyway. They can’t stop other companies from making robots that transform, so long as the robot designs are original and their packaging doesn’t use the Transformers names (e.g. Autobots, Decepticons, etc.) and trademarks.

To add to this, I would also say this chart can apply to learning the basics of writing long-form non-fiction, like a magazine or news article. Except for making stuff up, you research and compile facts and arrange them in a narrative sequence to maintain reader interest as you keep them informed.

It’s likely more a strategy to win over the moderate white vote in the south, not the black vote. So Newt says this, which may make white voters who consider themselves moderates feel better about voting Trump. I doubt the GOP really cares about winning the black vote.

I would say even the British media labeling this vote “Brexit” gave a not-so-serious impression to this matter. That whole British cheekiness — ascribing silliness to deflate the seriousness of serious matters —has backfired badly. Now it’s time for the non-cheeky “stay calm and carry on.”

The best strategy would be for the public to boycott companies that pay for advertising in support of Baylor games.
