I’m a fan of subscribing for a month or two, then shutting it off. We have a few long-standing subscriptions at this point as well, but overall the price isn’t bad if you go that route.

I think the important thing with the chairs is to recognize the custom where you live. If calling dibs on a public parking space has become universal there, then sure, why not?

The Sarlacc swallowed flaming debris from the sail barge, vomited up its own stomach, and died. It’s in the canon novels.

We *do* know what happened with the Sarlacc pit, more or less. Swallowing all the flaming debris from Jabba’s sail barge caused it to vomit up its own stomach and die.

This is also a good example of Simpson’s paradox, in which differently sized populations can make questions like “Which cultural or ethnic group is most likely to be kidnapped or murdered?” much more complicated than they seem at first glance.

Wait, are you actually doing the console wars thing with graphics cards now? Yikes.

I don’t have a problem with fictional extrapolation of events and relationships that would have played out away from the camera’s eye. Where I’ve been a bit frustrated with the show is when it runs counter to well-documented fact.

He just keeps making new accounts, is my understanding.

To be fair, royalties for your work is the standard for primary creators in TV and film, and Chapelle signed something below that standard.

I’m not sure the arc of the prequels was the real problem with them. The overall structure of Palpatine’s rise and fall actually works rather well.

I’m not sure he’s the force user, but the doctor referred to a “volunteer” whose blood samples were used in addition to the child’s. I think they have a force-sensitive person in their employ. I don’t think it’s Gideon simply because of how the message is constructed and refers to the volunteer in the third person.

Why were you using your fingers on X and Y on the Gamecube? They’re designed so that your right thumb can easily slide to them from the center A position.

I’m fairly certain the stick positions are intended for symmetry and brand-recognition at this stage rather than a serious design with ergonomics in mind.

Not if you turn on a channel for a month, watch the season you want in its entirety, then unsubscribe.

> there was surely no super important deadline they had to hit with this!

With Star Wars, they really just should have put her daughter in the role with aging makeup. It’s okay to switch actors when someone dies. It’s a little jarring, but it’s nowhere as bad as the morbid Carrie Fisher See-n-Say that we ended up with.

There will probably be one more episode connected to the Frog Lady, as they haven’t even gotten to the planet yet.

I mean, that would yield some extra revenue, but it wouldn’t make as much dent as you might think. And unless we also have significant changes to corporate tax policy, it would most likely do considerable harm to smaller churches while only putting a slight dent in the pockets of the mega-churches (since corporate tax…

Trump has one easy way to ensure that Biden is not sworn in as the 46th president.

In “Years and Years,” Trump nukes a city in China on his final day of office.
