She missed one shot and then nailed everything else for the rest of the movie. Luke, meanwhile, was pretty shitty at everything apart from piloting, which was established to be his “thing” right off the bat. What’s odd is that Rei’s “thing,” mechanics, could have stood in for the biggest reaches (her piloting skill…

I think the part that got me was the exchange “we need somebody who can fly a ship” “I can fly a ship.” That was Rei’s character for the whole damn movie. What couldn’t she do?

Also, Finn had military training, unlike Rei. It probably would have make more sense for him to be the one to win.

The brilliant thing about this article is that everyone this doesn’t apply to was at morning services when it went up. L’shana tova everyobody!

Also, went with Mad Max over Bourne despite the latter being the one with tension and tempo variance.

I’d probably condense this based on techique, with variations listed internally. For example, listing both bechamel and veloute is redundant when both are essentially some liquid added to a roux, bearnaise is just anothor version of the hollandaise hot emulsion (I’m on the fence on whether cold-emulsion mayo sauces…

Considering that insurance companies know how long pets live, pretty much everyone will end up paying more. There’s no set of circumstances in which simply saving up the money leaves you with less after all is said and done.

You do realize that, due to the lifespan of pets, the chance of a catastrophic health cost within a couple decades is near 100%, right? Pet health insurance is just a worse savings account because the insurers sure as hell know it.

I meant I had a dealer roommate, and the gateway drugs idea is about taking, not dealing.

Of course, it’s all fun and games until you find out pills are on the menu because you start seeing the kinds of people who go for pills.

That year we also lived with a girl who disappeared a couple weeks into the school year, but would periodically show up for a night or two with men she described as her “boyfriend” but were actually her dealer and they’d completely trash the house.

What has Neptune ever done for us?

I’d love to see someone test out all those claims in the “best use”S ection. In my experience, Italians (and the French) like to make up cooking rules based on facile logic and offhand remarks by nonnas without ever testing them.

Just break the spaghetti down into fideus. Nobody’s looking. Alternately, stir the pot until they bend and fit. 

I think the biggest example of knowing that something isn’t serious would be my (frequently postural) hypotension. Most people wouldn’t shrug off flopping on their faces. Meanwhile, all I need is a bit of water.

Don’t forget the control scheme being slightly different from some other game.

And make Musk wear an ostentatious domino mask thing.

On creating jobs in space, I don’t suppose you saw the essay in Analog a couple years back that suggested the most psychologically and economically sensible for of interstellar generation ship would be slapping an engine and minimal accommodations on an asteroid of group of asteroids and making the crew and future…

huh, and here I thought I’d come up with that myself because it was too stupid for anyone else.
