Ugly duckling as it is, I’ll always hold the Ideas BTTF DeLorean in a special place in my heart as the set that pulled me out of my Dark Ages

A star for trying.

I like your reference better, but I took it as a reference to the Tin Man from Wizard of Oz who is found rusted in the forest

I’ve assumed that long-lived means developmentally delayed in the SW universe, though it may be compounded in Grogu’s case. He’s 50 years old and developmentally on-par with a 1 year old human, at best.

Assuming he’s 1/18th the age Yoda was at his death, shouldn’t he be closer to, say, a 5 year old human? Leads me to…

This is a fascinating conundrum in the life of Grogu. By virtue of his species’ longevity, he’s a 50-year old infant (developmentally maybe on par with 1 year old human) and would have been a 22-year old infant (maybe a 5/6 month old human) during the events of Order 66.

His Olympics legacy alone will long be a cultural touchpoint long after he’s gone.  The soundscape of an entire era of humanity

Its a shipwreck that is providing shelter for the pirates. The 3 sections of the ship can be separated from the island base and assembled into the Black Seas Barracuda

You’re in good company. Last year we got the word of a COVID case in my sons daycare classroom on Dec 23rd, after weeks of whole-extended-family-isolation (apart from the daycare) so we could all have Christmas together.

This morning we got the call again that there’s a positive case in his classroom (first one since…

Seriously. My wife keeps bugging me because I won’t tell her want I want for Christmas, after doing the same for my birthday and our anniversary. Like, I just don’t need anything. All set here. I don’t need to buy something just to mark the occasion on the calendar.

Which translates into higher stock prices, of which they own obscene amounts.

It was a missed opportunity on the original Symfonisk that they didn’t make the light itself smart, but now with E26/27 compatibility, it opens the door to Hue and all the other offerings

- Dickie’s mother and Carmela’s father (Hugh) were siblings (Chris is Carmela’s first cousin, once removed)

- Christpher’s mother Joanne Blundetto is Al Blundetto’s sister and Al’s wife Quintana is Livia’s sister. Tony B’s parents are uncle and aunt to both Tony and Christopher. Tony S and Christopher are both first…

“Enjoy the match!”

I asked the same question on Reddit and got a bunch of “READ THE RELEASE!!!1!!” responses. Apple’s release talks extensively about working with the Dept of Transportation to build touchless scanners into TSA checkpoints. OK, fine, so its going to be useful at the airport.

But until every small town police department…

Last week in Chicago too. Pharmacist got busted selling $10 fake vax cards.

If you’re going to jeopardize your career, at least charge enough to make it worth it...

And yet, 100% in line with the hubris of the Empire.  The assault on the first Death Star was made possible all because they didn’t think a single fighter was any threat.

In ROTJ, the throne room is depicted as at the top of a tall spire (100 stories, per Wookiepedia).  So that shaft is 100 stories, before crossing the hull of the Death Star II

Apple does continue to grow their market share in the enterprise market. Macs are up to 23% share, iPhones 49%, and iPads “the majority”, according to IDC.

With Facetime arriving for free on all these devices, these improvements will at least give companies something to consider when they are evaluating their…

I’m getting some Arkham City / Arkham Knight vibes from this suit, and I dig it.
