Ikea beds are quite excellent. My parents have been using one for 20+ years without leaving a mark.

That’s really not the case. Ikea sells furniture for every wallet, from cheap cardboard crap to things that outlive you. I’ve had my Ikea desk for 15 years and it only has a few scuffs in the middle because I didn’t bother buying a cover.

Wonder if they deliver? :D 

They probably did have a police pursue mechanic but couldn’t get it work with any kind of reliability, so they had to simplify things to get the game published. Whether they’re ever going to finish up that feature remains to be seen. 

That’s curious, I got the opposite impression in the same museum a couple of years ago. There was a wood drawing on display that featured a rickshaw among other inventions that the Westerners were bringing into the country. 

Well, they do have rickshaws in the more touristy parts of Tokyo...

To be fair, the American cinema tend to give the same impression.

Blade Runner had both Chinese and Japanese living in Los Angeles, and the implication was supposed to be that nearly all the rich white people had gone to the orbital colonies, leaving the poor minorities behind. And yeah, there was a lot of Orientalist exoticism involved, but not quite the way you’re implying. 

Weird, my account is only 15 years old, even though I played Half Life 2 when it came out...I must have lost the original account, I didn’t really use Steam much until around 2008. 

Francis has been much more accepting of exorcism as a church practice than most of his predecessors in recent history.

They started to get a bit more iffy about them — until Pope Francis got in charge and made them all the rage once more. He’s probably the most superstitious pope in decades. 

To be fair, Jet was only in his 30's, even though people kept mistaking him for being in his late 40's. 

Ed only appears relatively late to the series and is only significant in a handful of episodes. She’s also the most anime-sque character of the bunch, and probably the hardest to do justice in live-action. They may leave her out altogether, though there’s always the possibility in another season.

What’s the point of adapting something if you just make a 100% repetition of the old one? And why is the skin colour of a character such a big deal if it doesn’t play a significant role in their backstory? White, black or Asian, Jet’s character doesn’t change one bit.

That’s the joke in the scene. Hanzo’s waiter is obviously aghast at the idea of drinking warm sake in the middle of a hot summer day, but Hanzo just plays along for the apparent dumb tourist.

Characters from the earlier films alive and active during this series include Galadriel, Celeborn, Elrond, Thranduil, Sauron and Treebeard. I’m sure that they’ll all make at least cameos, but Galadriel and Elrond are all but confirmed to be major characters, already.

There’s only one pair of trees. All the others come as individuals. And only the one pair shines with their own light and towers over the mountains like these two. These have to be Telperion and Laurelin, meaning that it has to be the First Age in Valinor.

Frequent bathing continued to be the thing throughout the Middle Ages. Only during the Renaissance the attitudes towards it truly began to sour, although public bathhouses already suffered during the Black Death. The Europeans were at their dirtiest around the 17th and 18th centuries.

Yep. Originally Luke’s sister was going to be a completely new character, and was part of Lucas’ plan for a sequel trilogy. But then he got divorced and got hit hard with depression, so he decided to cut the saga short, and there was no longer any room for any new characters to show up, so Leia ended up being the only…

What’s wrong with it? From the smallest unit to the largest, it’s the logical way.
