Atlantis left off with the Atlantis City ship having sucessfully fought off the superhive ship but was pulled into Earth’s gravity well, so they did a hard landing and were currently cloaked and parked in San Francisco Bay.

Wizards and gorilla glue.

Nah, the way I see it, is after scarif a bunch of the rebel forces were either captured, destroyed, or had scattered and gone to ground in the outer rim to keep out of sight until the heat died off, with Yavin IV literally being an all available hands on deck situation only a few days later, that’s why it’s only a…

Honestly, I could see the ghost crew splitting ties from the larger rebellion. Sebine has issues on mandalore to deal with, once Lothall gets tied up in a bow Ezra’s main motivation to remain will be gone and Kanan and Hara seem to be leaning more and more towards hooking up, and Zeb has a whole damn planet of his…

IIRC, Tarkin was just given authorization to blow up a planet as a show of force. Even the emperor was taken aback when he chose Alderaan.

However that may be just legends stuff now.

Also depending on the outcome of the rebels story arc covering the tie defender factory (destroyed or crippled possibly), Thrawn could get…

mostly the little cars. The pillars really aren’t huge. I had more issues with the pillar on my brother’s fru-fru’d up wrangler than my f150.

I think we strayed into possible COTD territory.. I’m not sure though because I was involved and I’m not sure the rules on that. Is this like 4chan where you can’t /thread your own post?

This is the exact king of thing that terrifies me about those little half car smart cars that were the big craze in 2008/9. They can hide behind the pillars on my truck and what not. I get super paranoid when I’m driving near one and triple check my blindspots before signaling because I am absolutely terrified of…

It was supposed to be a simple repair. In and out, 20 minutes.

Nah, a species of raptor discovered after Jurrassic park was a thing that were about the size of the raptors from Jurassic park. Velociraptors generally are about the size of a chicken/turkey

Mercenaries playground of destruction.

G’morning James. Just a heads up, it kinda looks like Tag and Bink from the old starwars EU are going to be Canon in some way in the han solo movie.

To be fair, it was originally going to be an RTS... also vanilla “humanity versus aliense” is generally safe ground for an RTS. Not everything has to be groundbreaking.

However I would play the fuck out of a “historical mode” halo wars game. Fuck yeah I would love to command the arbiter’s forces during the grunt…

It’s not paranoia when government agencies actively attempt to entrap people and then murder their family members when they don’t comply with the entrapment, or create situations where local crime skyrockets, or use children and the mentally deficient, or create laws that erode at the rights of the average citizen and…

Meanwhile in the real world a federal disaster has already been declared (by trump no less) allowing for the use of FEMA and other federal monies to be used in structure protection, and helping affected people.

No, no you don’t. You think you do but you’d be sucking up seat cushion.

Dredging up rusty knowledge from college that I don’t use as a range technician even though I really should get my red card.... anyway, It’s a firefighter term, IC means “incident Commander” while the 2 in this case indicated what type engine, in this case a type 2 structure protection engine.

At least if I remembered…

The grapevine through Calfire is the causes of the north bay fires were a mix of dry lightning and downed electrical infreastructure that was damaged by windburst events.

tying in with this, Irulethegalaxy is talking about the pine bark beetles in the sierras (east side of califonia) , and the general mismanagement of the forests stemming back to the fifties with the “all fires out by 12 the next day” policy the forest service used to have (thanks public opinion).

TL:DR on some of the…

It’s a combination of the areas along the California coast being almost pure chaparral, sagebrush and greasy fire loving plants that are fire adapted and in an 4-7 year fire ecology zone, so when it gets lit up, it’s pretty much impossible to get put out without the cooperation of the weather, which in that area is…
