I like that the line you quoted from the article is pretty much a bait and switch.

*I kinda dig the layout of that website.

The news has been barely covering this, even since the outbreak. I forgot it was happening and am surprised and happy the rebels are still fighting.

He would have been in the military during the Clone Wars. They served as Generals in the Republic armies. If he had not witnessed the exploits of the Jedi first hand, he most likely would have seen and heard the reports.

Yes, I suppose, but I also stand on it.

I do do that too.

I have one because I look conservative… From the way I dress, to the hobbies I have, the vehicles I drive, to the only American flag on the block… looking like a typical conservative. But on the inside I’m a quite squishy, liberal union steward. I’ve got a Vets Against Trump sign to let my neighbors know I ain’t that guy.

I couldn’t do that with my Hisense. There was no way to move past linking an email.

Eh, I would say investment into R&D should be encouraged and maybe allow tax write offs. Even of the end goal is a private power source. Once that R&D turns into workable, operable, sellable products, then tax the fuck out of them. Perhaps disallow making things that can be a boon to public infrastructure from being deem proprietary, so that it can be more easily adapted to public use.
I dunno, I’m typing from my couch after a few beers.

And they assume I own the place I’m living. Some of these people live on the internet and like their boxes.

No. We must all live in box apartments. Who cares if you like going into your garage to work on your car/motorcycle/carpentry/fabrication, who cares if you want a yard for your dogs, or don’t want to share a wall and elevator with your neighbors. We all must enjoy living in apartment complexes. And if not you will enjoy the complex staring down into your backyard.

Welp, guess I’m listening to Queen.

How? I mean, it’s just so easy to get a new ID, birth certificate, social security number, credit history, etc. You just assume a new one.

I didn’t say we were any good at it. Just that there was some effort, like, there was no carpet bombing. If Isreal maintaines their same pace they’re going to cause that number of casualties in a fraction of the time, and they’re doing it intentionally.

At least during the War on Terror, some effort was put into minimizing civilian casualties. Not enough, but we did try. The rest of the world abandoned total war post WWII. With the advancements in technology both surveillance and accurate munitions, there’s no real excuse for the way Israel has been conducting itself in Gaza.

As a user of threaded fasteners, the inclined plane.

I haven’t even seen Ep 9, Episode 8 burned me. I haven’t even bothered to pirate download it.

Dang. I never considered that.

Very fair point.

Might to be rare, but they also had a massive temple located on the capital planet, very near the political and military centers on that planet. They served as generals in the Republic Army - the Army he likely served in before it was reorganized into the Empire. He would have known of them and their exploits, if not first hand, then from news and military reporting.
Of course the EU (which Disney wiped away) would have tried to clean up George’s short sightedness.

I know. The prequels maybe weren’t well thought out. That shit talker would have served among the Jedi and during the purge.
