    Drywall anchors? That’s got to be a solid stone wall. I don’t think you can use drywall anchors.

    Well you could drill out large holes and fill with spackle, then insert the drywall anchors into those areas.

    Yeah should work just fine





  • “The 3PO-series protocol droid, also known as the 3PO-series protocol unit, was a model of protocol droid produced by Cybot Galactica sometime prior to the Invasion of Naboo. They were equipped with a TranLang III communication module, and as a result were fluent in over 6 million forms of communication. C-3PO was an example of this model, though he was rebuilt out of spare parts. TC-series protocol droids appeared similar to 3PO units.”

    Wookieepedia

    There are a ton of 3PO-series droids in the Star Wars universe.

    Vader would not look at a 3P0 droid and think “maybe that’s the droid I built as a child and left on a plant in the outer rim”

    Same with R2-D2

    It’s just for the movie sake that there aren’t 30 CP0s and 50 R2-D2 units running around in the background. “Wait did Biggs just get R2 in his x-wing?” No, it’s some completely different droid I’ve never seen. Some things have to be adapted for the movie.

    As for difficulty, no harder than building like a PC. If there are a ton of CP0 units, he simply takes working parts from a dozen broken ones and pieces them together. He’s a child, they fib and stretch the truth. He could have just attached new legs to the unit that needed only legs and then went through the setup process of “programing” him.

    He didn’t Tony Stark C3P0. He pieced together a robot from pre-made CP0 scrap parts.








  • but it’s hard to then build the services that this many people need

    The idea is that there are the same amount of people on the island.

    Island 1 might need 2 small schools to serve the top and bottom of island.

    Island 2 could put one large school in walking distance of living building.

    One large school is much cheaper than multiple smaller ones.

    Same with things like fire stations. You only need one around the living building on island 2. One station on island 1 might not be in range of all the homes.



  • You can donate blood in 20 minutes. It takes an hour plus to donate plasma

    Am I going to sit in a chair for an hour plus without any compensation? Maybe once or twice here and there. But you can donate plasma at least twice a week.

    It requires two donations for a single unit. If you donate once and don’t donate the second, then your first donation is unusable. You have to get them to donate twice.

    When I was donating plasma, it paid about $75 for each donation. 50 first, 100 for second. The money is pretty good. $300 a month is a lot for a lot of people.

    If you didn’t compensate people for plasma donations, a lot wouldn’t do it. They currently need more people to donate.

    Plasma “donation” is a good thing.



  • I had to look up what the summoner’s tale was. I can say this from memory.

    "Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote,

    The droghte of March hath perced to the roote,

    And bathed every veyne in swich licóur

    Of which vertú engendred is the flour;

    Whan Zephirus eek with his swete breeth

    Inspired hath in every holt and heeth

    The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne

    Hath in the Ram his halfe cours y-ronne,

    And smale foweles maken melodye,

    That slepen al the nyght with open ye,

    So priketh hem Natúre in hir corages,

    Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,

    And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes,

    To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;

    And specially, from every shires ende

    Of Engelond, to Caunterbury they wende,

    The hooly blisful martir for to seke,

    That hem hath holpen whan that they were seeke."




  • Not really, he has a stereotype of what a Black person acts like, that includes saying the n word. He can’t comprehend there are some people who are both Black and find the word distasteful. So to him if a Black person won’t say it, then they’re not Black.

    It’s not about if they want to say it or not it is about society accepting if they can say it or not. When a non-black person sings a rap song, they are supposed to omit the n-word. If you are black, you’re free to say it when desired.

    This is basically saying. What if Karmala is raping and gets to an n-word. Is she free to say it?

    She is not “African-American” which the word refers to

    African-Americans accepting her into the “black” group based on skin color is essentially reverse racism. “She looks like us so she can be one of us”

    This is coming from a white Mexifinn-American. I don’t get accepted as being Mexican because I don’t have the skin color, and I don’t get accepted as Finnish because I have a Hispanic last name. I don’t care because I enjoy being treated as an American. I get treated like I’m “white” though.

    Sad reality is Harris would get treated as “black”

    I don’t have a n-word card to give so I can’t make the call
