With the US Bank prepaid visa I had, there was actually an online facility to register your name and address with the card. This wasn’t made clear in the card instructions but it turned out to be necessary to use it on Amazon.com.

One caveat to this. I did the same thing with a $100 prepaid visa-> Amazon conversion a week or so ago. Only problem is that the prepaid visa hadn’t been set up with my name and address. Took me three attempts to work out why the transaction wasn’t going through and fix the problem.

Anybody expecting this to be good was entirely delusional. 

For some reason I associate boneless chicken with dryness and toughness. Maybe the pieces cook faster so I tend to end up overcooking a little?

At any rate, I always buy bone-in. With all my pressure cooker meals the meat just falls off the bone anyway.

Yeah, fuck that. I’ve used “they” for decades in this manner. It’s a natural fit and has never felt wrong. 

A bit weak considering Musk’s later “bet ya a signed dollar it’s true” comment.

I don’t particularly dislike him. He’s just a bit Aspergers. 

“Don’t go to France. The French are annoying. Come to Greece instead; we’re nicer.”

These people are morons. 

No he doesn’t.

Grenades don’t work like that. They don’t vaporize you or blow you into small pieces; they hit you with a shock wave, and simultaneously strike you randomly with tiny pieces of shrapnel that tear through you like jagged bullets.

In any case, there are stun grenades and shock grenades in the SW universe. Granted, it…

Yes, that cuts to the heart of things.  

That explains while they’re all using stun weapons, right, instead of raining down a hail of deadly blaster fire?

Nah. If that were the case they wouldn’t even be shooting at him.

They’ll never outsell the Rose Tico action figures, though. 

What baffled me the most was how not a single one of the mercs who were trying for the bounty on our Mando chum thought to use a grenade when he was pinned down on the wagon. I mean...does NOBODY have grenades?

Lucas is essentially a pretty decent show runner and ideas man who needs to delegate the tedious business of writing dialogue and directing human actors to other people.

Follow-up question:

The biggest problem is that the writers put themselves inside a box with these constraints:

One of the reasons Lucas was so interested in the toys was that he wanted to create a sandbox world in which kids could create their own stories. That seems like a reasonable and laudable ambition.
