    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    It's not "random." It's where the original, foundational texts of the jedi religion are stored, which would make sense as all of the archives were destroyed. I get the impression he went there thinking he was going to learn some deeper truth about the force from the texts, maybe something...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    I think the issue is that we're just told that Luke failed as a master/teacher. We're not shown how he failed. Right, and he dedicated the next few decades of his life to trying to rebuild the jedi order, and then he failed on his first attempt. We're not shown why/how he failed. If they had...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    The Holdo scenes are all misdirection. You're supposed to think she's an obstacle that Poe has to overcome rather than a lesson he has to learn. The flying Leia stuff was dumb but given what they had to work with, finding a reason why she's out of commission for most of the movie, it was fine...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    So I finally watched TLJ. Great art direction. What a fantastic looking movie. Would have been a good movie too if they'd have just deleted every fucking scene with Rose including the entire pointless Canto Bight subplot. That would have left 15+ more minutes to spend with Rey and Luke...

    Just realized the 5000 dollar mutual fund order I put in in mid July never went through so I missed out on 11% gains because it was just sitting there in my core position. Must not have confirmed the last screen of the trade... Just lighting money on fire things.

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    Just saw this one. LOOOOOOL. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. Thats not how anything B2B works, especially with something as competitive and complex as the payment processing industry. Yes, you do scale, but you still need tons of salespeople, customer relationship managers, implementation and support...

    Horizon: Zero Dawn

    No, that's the Biomatter Conversion nanites, which is different. I guess it's never *explicitly* stated in the first game whether the red HADES corruption code is visible only to people with focuses or not, but again that's a stupid fucking complaint. You see the entire game through the eyes...

    idk Sphinx or Fiction is pretty neat. Liliana of the Veil in standard again is something, and in combination with new Braids is possibly even more insane.

    Keeping demand high while everything is still supply constrained doesn't have the normal upsides. Demand is still outpacing supply with the exception of cheap shit from Target and GPUs kek.

    The alternative is to just install Teams on your cellphone and then use whatever BT headset you want and use your cellphone for call control.
