Not really. It’s not like once you deliver your load your job is done and you can head home. He was likely heading somewhere to reload and had to be there by a certain time.

Why would you wish that on someone?

We’re not all bad... I don’t even know how I got re-greyed. I was in the clear a while ago.

It should be mandatory for all these “but muh freedoms” people to talk to people who lived under Nazi or Soviet rule so they can get an idea of what actual tyranny is.

The problem is current generations in the west have no concept of what actual oppression and tyranny is. The west has had it too good for too long so now people are making up problems.

You’re assuming that the Rebels, constantly on the run from the Empire, had the time and resources to do any significant modifications to the equipment they got.

The Empire literally controlled tens of thousands of star systems and trillions of people. I don’t think economic factors were much of an issue.

If you look at the ion canon in the movie, it’s very large and pointing up. It’s obviously meant for planetary defense against targets that are in orbit, not for ground defense.

ATATs are better armored because they are newer - that doesn’t mean they were more effective.

You have to take into account the goals the Empire wants to achieve. In most cases, their goal isn’t tactical superiority but rather intimidation. These hulking ground vehicles are crap your pants scary to the general population.

Despite the fact that he was evil and clearly insane, Hitler was, at least at the beginning, actually smart. He knew how far he could push before everything blew up in his face.

I personally don’t have a high opinion of modern philosophers. Philosophy and science have long since divorced and I don’t think the former should really dabble in the latter. Having read through this, her paper doesn’t seem to do anything more than claim “nuh-uh, you’re wrong.”

It varies significantly based on the person. I read that people who grew up during the era of black and white television tend not to dream in colour. It’s quite fascinating.

I imagine it wouldn’t be terribly effective. Wi-Fi has a pretty good range and with how ubiquitous Wi-Fi networks are I imagine the thing would just be going crazy all the time. Can’t walk anywhere in a city and not be hitting a Wi-Fi network or 10.

I’m an IT professional and I can assure you that Macs have their own share of annoying crap. It’s just different annoying crap.

They’re only state media when a Republican is in office. When a Democrat is in they’re the government’s biggest critic.

America’s had it too good for too long. The people have no idea what actual oppression and tyranny are anymore.

I don’t get where this anti-Jew conspiracy nonsense came from. It makes no sense.

Last week I saw for the time ever a whole bunch of Bohemian Wax Wings in my backyard. That was cool since I pretty much only get robins and sparrows.

With the way things are going, ads.
