Nothing explains Anakin’s abilities, his power, his superior fighting skills to that of anyone we’ve seen in these films. or his connection to the force. Nothing. Not. A. Thing. But it’s okay because to call this out subtly suggests some basement-boy consternation with a male lead. Every time it’s brought up, it’s

Divide the US into N/S and E/W halves. Chicago is in the northern half of the US. It is also in the eastern half of the US, ergo: northeastern US.

While I think JPC is silly, it is odd that there’s still only one flying character... the skies are pretty exclusive

Using “naval rifles,” as the report calls them, we’d need to fire roughly 8,000 shells skyward each day to achieve sufficient coverage, which would cost as much as $30 billion per year–probably, far too expensive.

Only if you block 100%. Even if we had something to work as a filter to reduce light coming to the Earth by 10% the plants would be fine everywhere except maybe the extreme North/South latitudes.

Given how insane rent is I’ve actually considered buying a small RV and living out of it just to be able to save money. The only things stopping me is that old, small RVs I’ve seen for sale are gross and not well taken care of and that it’s pretty harshly illegal everywhere to live in your vehicle.

I know it’s not this way everywhere, but unless I worked out for 3 hrs traffic is not gonna improve much. I could get up at 4AM to work out for an hour and maybe miss the morning rush hour, or I could stay extra long at work until 7 and work out then. Neither sounds that appealing.

This would also make ChromeOS a much more useful OS, since you could have the light, nicely-designed hardware and battery life running any game in the browser, rather than hoping someone will make a port.

I would love to see how this relates to both availability of places like parks, gyms, playgrounds, etc. as well as average commute time in those areas.

“America does not go to war in a Ford Fiesta,”

I’m about to finally start Assassin’s Creed Origins, and despite the good things I’ve heard about it, I’m worried that it will end up on my attention span’s cutting room floor as well. This isn’t another piece complaining about how Games Are Too Long These Days. Rather, I want to talk about what happens when our

Only in that f-t-b you have 0% likelihood of doing so, and b-t-f has a non-zero chance.

It’s like they actually wanted to sell the car in a market with below 10% manual market share.

I’m not because I’m a front-to-back guy. I’m just saying that the chance of getting shit on your balls increases greatly if you don’t go f-t-b.

Only example I can think of is the phrase “the male gaze”

I imagine this is why so many Android phones put the power and volume buttons on the same side - the key combination for a screenshot is the same, but that placement makes it a much more deliberate movement.

Haha those euphemisms made me chuckle.
