That's the one.

So are you . . . I completely forgot about that.

I don't think anyone actually shoots at Boba Fett in the films . . . maybe Chewie? So I guess Boba shot first by default.

I met Jeremy Bulloch at a convention in Salt Lake City earlier this year. Nice, sweet guy, very happy to spend five minutes and just talk with my wife and me.

That would be pretty dope, huh?

Ish. SE Asia has the various Malay dialects or Sanskrit-derived langues which could be lumped together—for example, the official language of Indonesia is a Malay dialect—but it ends up being quite complicated and doesn't fit in neatly with Western colonial practice.

Also, many of the national language in Asia were…

This seems a bit silly to me. It's hubris to assume that an ETI would develop the same type of psychology as we did, so how would a "cosmic consciousness" facilitate a first contact with an alien species? We get this idea from science fiction that alien life will be pretty much like us—similar value structures, with a…

I've had this happen, actually.

The only real difference I care about it avoiding gluten (or grains) and eating gluten free. There's a world of difference between the two of those, and unfortunately it's created problems when people who just need to avoid gluten got into the "gluten free" marketing group. It has nothing to do with people with people…

The whole problem would be gone if people who wanted to cut out gluten but who don't have Celiac just avoid wheat, barley, and rye products instead of looking for "gluten free" food. For example, just order your salad without croutons, don't ask for the gluten free salad.

Also, where did the edit option go? Just saw…

Unfortunately, in order to be safe for someone with Celiac to eat, the product in question needs to be manufactured in a facility which does not share *any* equipment with a facility that produces products with gluten. The cost to do this is remarkably high, especially considering it only caters to a fraction of the…

And I'm not getting through.

But no worries. Hope you have a good day :)

Actually, gliadin is one of the two proteins which make up gluten, the other being glutenin.

You're not quite getting the point.

I've gotten sick eating food that was labeled "gluten free," particularly at restaurants. This typically occurs because people don't realize that cross-contamination is a problem for those with Celiac (because it's not for anyone else) or because they're cheating. Either way, I end…

Now you're just being silly.

Exactly.

In theory, yes. What ends up happening often enough, however, is that a large number of products or meals advertised as "gluten free" end up being contaminated in order to economically make the products. To have bread actually be gluten free, you need to build a new bakery which has never touched actually wheat, rye,…

This is it exactly. Greater demand for things that are actually gluten free would be great, but that's not what's happened.

There really isn't any tangible health benefit to excluding gluten. The problem is typically how people eat gluten (pizzas and wonderbread aren't too good for you) or the amount of glutenous foods people eat. For most people, gluten doesn't have any detrimental effects.

And for those of us with Celiac, having so many…

The world that we all live in is deeper and more interesting, and I think that most of us would love to see more variety in our media.
