    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    That's how he told Leia that they were brother and sister. I remember it slightly different. The force is strong in my family. My father has it. I have it. My sister has it. STARE AT LEIA. It made more sense than that one line because they'd been giving her increasing empathy for Luke...

    Aww, this thread was legit. The good news is that it has cooler ratings now. We should be able to rate our own posts in the rickshaw.

    Well, if those are your two options the women would be happier. Both would be miserable societies by our standards though.

    Artificial wombs will be a complete game changer. That's one of those techs that you can't really even make educated guesses about what stable form asserts itself after the war over it ends. Think the washing machine liberated women? Sci-fi handwaves that. It's always kinda annoying. That...

    It would be like me saying we should breed ugly chicks away though. On the order of a self evident truth.

    Survivor

    Hmm. The mistake wasn't firing him. It's explicitly saying why. They don't have to give a reason, that's entirely optional. In many cases the smart option is to not give a reason. And if it's controversial and someone asks, "Why am I / is he being removed from the company?" the response is...

    Clockwork Castle really was such a great episode. It's like Ray Bradbury could have written it.

    And "How Much Keefe is in this movie anyway?" For some reason that one stuck. It's still fuckin funny fifteen years later. HUZZAH lol. Ok, the monster rap was legit.

    That temperature diff can also be used to create electricity. Thermoelectrics. Unfortunately, the materials which have the properties you need are rare earths and I have no idea how well the system scales. But. If we reach back into the way back of good ideas that never found popular usage...

    If you got to choose how you die, how would you go out?

    Yeah, but I don't want to go to hell alone. The more souls I bring him the more power Satan will bestow upon me.

    Yeah, obviously do what feels right. There's probably no right way. Otoh if she offers to be your bangmaid you would be objectively wrong to turn that away.

    Shaving

    Not sure how they make them. They probably stamp them? So the machine missed a cut, or else there was a bad irregular spot in the roll they were pressing out of. Which would almost never matter, since the odds are that the bad spot is contained in the body and not the edge. Bad luck.

    Doctor Who

    The thing that terrifies me is that I remember when that episode aired (on PBS in America, so obviously we were lagged behind and it was about 5 years old I think)... but even when it was 5 years old... It actually didn't look THAT cheesy. And sure I was a little kid. But even so, it wasn't...

    The Expanse

    I wonder if those were hard for her to do. I've heard actors talk about eating scenes and they all say those scenes suck a lot more than you'd expect if you've never done one. If you have to do it more than once you get SO full. And she's really going to fuckin town on those nummy nummy...

    Autonomous Systems

    I hope he named it RapeBot5000 I wonder how much it would cost to do. Not much more than a model airplane, but you would have to get some parts of the frame fabricated I'm guessing. Or you just have to learn how to weld. Which is something that I've never learned how to do.

    Hey man, if she grabs you by the hand and leads you to what she wants then you don't need to worry about her yet. You have got what is medically termed "one shy as fuck little girl". That will end, and when it does you'll wish she'd shut the hell up. Is she not talking at all though? At 2.5...

    I wouldn't even do it on the last day. At this point the self deceptions are just so deep that anything less than a total system crash is cruelty. It's not just you. You both knew that there was only 1 of 2 ways this was going to go, and the odds are 3 against that it was the "happy" outcome...

    If you're done, I'd wait till she leaves. That's a week where you'd have to sit with her after you've told her, "On second thought -- not so much". Give her a really nice time. Treat her as an honored guest. If SHE brings it up, don't lie. If she wants to confront that then do. But don't...

    Archer

    Yeah, but it would die even quicker if they didn't. Without doing topical humor they'll run out of "Archer is a witty acoholic whose hero is Burt Reynolds" gags. They kinda ran out of them by season 3. It would probably be best to wait and binge the entire season in two nights.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Yeah, I don't disagree with that. It's a guessing game about what she wants, what her motivation is for the anger. Is she hurt and she wants you to hurt? Does she just fucking despise you? Kind words will only escalate a situation like that. She'll see it as condescension. There's an awful...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Well, serious answer. I don't think you do. If she hates you that much, if she's that hurt over whatever... I think the best you're ever going to get is not screaming. You're never really going to be on talking terms. It will boil down, but even when it does -- she'll lay into you in an...

    You could do it with heat couldn't you? There's very little pressure on that ice, the application of heat would skip liquid and it would go straight to vapor wouldn't it? Presumably not very much of that vapor would recondense. Quarry down until you're low enough to drill? Which means it...

    I feel like they could get away with loading up Alpha Centuari, looking at that tech tree, copying the entire thing verbatim, and dropping it into Stellaris with a few very minor adjustments. AC had an amazingly well thought out tech tree. And even though it's what, 20 years old, it's mostly...

    Stellaris

    Yeah, the tech tree isn't all that deep. You get to "slightly more gooder" fairly quickly. And it is just card based and ethics/government based. Really is luck of the draw in most ways. There are a few lines that you can concentrate on. Techs locked behind other techs and nowhere in the...
