Also, professionals will usually guarantee the quality of their work - if something goes wrong afterwards, they might fix it free of charge or, worst case scenario, you can try suing them. If you mess it up (which there’s a higher chance of than with a professional), you have nobody to blame other than yourself.

Yeah, all of the semantics can be confusing and are never really defined (in canon) or applied equally. We kinda see four “ranks” of Jedi (Youngling, Padawan, Knight, and Master) but it’s not always clear who is what at what time, other than before Anakin, everyone on the Council was a Master. Anakin not being a…

Right, exactly. Ahsoka is absolutely not a “gray Jedi”, that implies an attempt to sit between the Light and Dark sides of the Force. Ahsoka is Light side through and through, she would never, like, shoot someone with Force Lightning or kill in cold blood. Hell, part of Palpatine’s point of orchestrating the Clone…

I don’t know about that - other than the fact that obviously Ahsoka didn’t exist in 2005, I don’t think anything Mace Windu did there was personal against Anakin. As far as Windu was concerned, Anakin was just being used as Palpatine’s pawn and denying him the rank of Master was just his way of thumbing his nose at…

Exactly, like she was still a Jedi to almost everyone (and almost all of the people who would have said to the contrary were killed).

I always thought Dynamax was dumb because the same game introduced the almost-exactly-the-same gimmick of Gigantamax, which was just “Dynamax except it’s cool but very few Pokemon can do it”. Say what you will about Terastallizing but that everyone can do it makes it a lot cooler in my mind.

It’s interesting to compare Ahsoka and Luke here - because Luke learned barely anything about the Jedi from Obi-Wan and Yoda before embracing the label himself (“a Jedi, like my father before me”), when he later turned his back on the Jedi order, he cut himself off from the Force entirely. Because he didn’t know the…

Dennis is so often a vehicle of rage, from time to time his rage is justified (especially in the episode in question).

Would definitely add Jury Duty (technically it’s on Amazon Freevee, but if you have Prime Video it’s on there too) - one guy thinks he’s part of a documentary about the experience of being on a jury and everyone around him (including the other jurors and everyone involved in the case) are actors. Kinda like The Joe…

I first saw boba tea when I was in college around 2008 - I simply could NOT figure out what one my classmates was always bringing to class. Tea, but what’s that in the bottom? Cherries? Some kind of dissolving candy? No clue.

Absolutely, I think you get that in The Clone Wars from time to time as well. From Attack of the Clones on, Palpatine is like Anakin’s non-Jedi mentor.

There’s an argument to be made that the Jedi Order groomed Anakin (and every other Force-sensitive child they took from their parents to be trained), but we’re never shown them using abusive tactics to do so, whether or not they were right. The Jedi believed, legitimately, that an untrained Force-sensitive child was a…

Haha sure, but at level 17 you’re pretty close to godhood with any class.

I’ve actually done some research here - Gene Wolfe did work on the machine that produces Pringles and did end up bearing a striking resemblance to the logo, but he didn’t grow his famous moustache until after he left Pringles. So it’s almost certainly a coincidence (though a very interesting one).

I think the difference in floor mats is what’s underneath - I’ve always been on carpet, so unlike hardwood, what’s under it can squish at different amounts. The edges of my mat were always fine, it started to form indentations in the areas in the middle underneath the wheels and eventually those indentations turned…

So I’ve heard - I saw something about combining the Warlocks’ ability to recharge spell slots with a short rest and the Sorcerers’ ability to convert Sorcery Points and spell slots to each other as being pretty powerful, but I’m not trying to min/max or anything so I haven’t looked too closely at it.

I’ve been using my kitchen scale and a drinking cup to measure my servings of pasta by weight... and honestly I’ll probably keep doing it. I don’t know that I trust the hole.

I got a new office chair a few years ago, but was surprised when I got it that my feet no longer touched the ground (I’m 5'6", which I know is short, but I don’t think of it as that short). So I had to get a footrest - similar to the one in the article, not exactly the same. Eventually changed out the wheels on my…
