  • They wasted a movie. The first one should have jumped in during Anakin and Obi-wan's friendship in the clone wars. Have some flashbacks to a childhood and how he got to be Jedi, but the brotherhood be the focus. Even have the love interest be then, maybe being Anakin's first test of who he loves more. The second can be tons of character buildup and struggle, the third the fall.

    Someone years ago on YT did a speculation of this, and the center of the clone wars (or at least where those two were) is Alderaan. The biggest flaw in rewatching and now more accepting of the prequels is that his fall feels very rushed and forced. Give more development time to explore the whys, and the viewer will both sympathize and hate Anakin's decisions more.

  • Checkmate.

  • LEO with a bad reentry is fine.

  • "We can have Canada as a 51st state!"

    "Now we're down to 49 states, you dumb ass."

  • Humans are terrible. The human eyes and brain are good at detecting certain things though that allow a reaction where computer vision, especially only using one method of detection, fails often. There are times when an automated system will prevent a problem before a human could even see it. So far neither is the clear winner, human driving just has a legacy that automation has to beat by a great length and not just be good enough.

    On the topic of human drivers, I think most on the road drive reactively and not based on prediction and anticipation. Given the speed and possible detection methods, a well designed automated system should be excelling at this. It costs more and it more complex to design such a thing, so we're getting the bare bones of the best minimum tech can give us right now, which again is not a replacement for all cases.

  • Hope he gets cornered in an alley by a bunch of retirees. And has a quiet discussion about the damage he's doing.

  • That would be a crime. I know, (R) beats any consequences of doing illegal things.

  • My kids are very literate. :D Maybe because it's such a drawn out word it stood out to him and he mimicked it. I don't know.

  • It's possible he'd rattle off not the names, but parts of lyric, if he's been exposed to them. When he was very young my son would request "boulevard" when we got into the car for a trip, since we'd regularly listen to Green Day.

  • Wow, that must be a very secure password to be so long. :P

  • Weird. Just like passwords, all I saw for your ssn is asterisks. Must be a Fediverse security feature.

  • I normally suggest using the Calvin version of this meme to avoid promoting him in any way, but he is part of the discussion topic here.

  • Actually it does. It doesn't put it out, but it does give somewhere for the heat to go until the reaction is finished. It just takes a ton of water, i.e. immersion if possible. Which is very similar to other large fires, where the water used isn't to try and put the fire out as it's too hot, but to just control spread to other areas.

  • Sure, but OP is talking about fingers as representation, not markings. Your point is exactly why they did it in writing.

  • I see what you're saying, using one hand for the entire sequence. XI is still a pain. The real problem is that there is no mention of doing this in any Roman text. A bit of an omission, or was it a state secret?

  • IV and IX don't make sense when it could be done more intuitively by IIII and VIIII.

  • Remember when Obama was asked if he could run for a third, and he said he couldn't because it's not allowed. Imagine a President who respects the law, the Constitution, and the will of the people via Congress. Irony is that it was Republicans who put in place the term limits, so Trump is even against his party's previous mandate.
