So, what’s the conclusion of the class? Too expensive to go for the resources, or is it reasonable in the near term that extraterrestrial resources can be profitably accessed in the near term?

More broadly, if you have control over most aspects of how the universe functions in a gauntlet that took you years to assemble, use it instead to rewrite things in a way to get rid of scarcity. Maybe lower birth rates or the energy required to live or create clean, renewable energy sources that are trivial to access,…

This makes sense: The only people who eat at Carl’s Jr. are giant stoners.

I think it was one of those missteps you don’t typically associate with Star Wars: “OK, sure, a lot of this is just padding or table-setting, but ho ho, three movies from now, this stuff will ALL pay off!”

All the hinting about Kira and the last minute villain reveal screams that they have stuck a lot of the good stuff…

That wasn’t really their goal.

Because kids love them both and the games unleash their creativity in each sphere.

But Roblox, while it looks like a bucket full of ass, actually makes it easier for non-techies to connect easily and has fewer hoops to jump through for monetization. (I gather the Minecraft fiddliness on the financial end is due to them…

The barrier to entry is night and day, though. No one has to look up how to connect their kid to Roblox, whereas looking up explainers for how to link up online with other Minecraft players was a rite of passage for many parents a few years ago.

Making Roblox a seamless MMO experience was what I was referring to,…

It’d also be nice if it was shared by default account-wide. I just discovered that my phone and iPad had different settings.

Roblox is huge. I suspect Microsoft is kicking themselves for not adding massively online multiplayer and a real world currency to Minecraft in the same way.

So, what I’m hearing is it’s going to have a great soundtrack and a supporting character who’s the breakout role and star.

I always assume everything I see in Facebook Stories are there by accident, or they’re getting piped over from Instagram or something.

I’ve been skipping Endgame trailers since the first teaser, for that very reason.

I love smart playlists, using them with playcounts and regular playlists to give me the songs I listened to most in a given year and other custom line-ups.

I sure hope this is all supported in future versions.

Spy movies are irrelevant if they continue to try to make Cold War spy movies.

Post-9/11, though, we have huge numbers of government contractors, largely unaccountable to anyone (read Top Secret America for more) operating the way that national agencies once did.

We’ve also seen the rise of extra-national groups,…

Seriously.

I mean, Jared Leto is clearly Sith.

I buy that they each thought they had the conversation prior to marriage. My wife and I both thought we had and realized years later that we had not. So, that was awesome.

I don’t know; I know people who work for the Rat who might disagree.

Yeah, looks like Disney is going to Walmart the shit out of other streaming services.

Macron in that photo is all of us.

The Young Avengers/Avengers Academy seems like the obvious place to take the MCU Avengers after Endgame when they will be rebuilding the team in some fashion.

I am excited to see Kate Bishop, but yeah, this feels premature.
