    Buy the shower head you want, take the connector apart and drill out or remove the water saving disks. Reassemble and rip the skin from your body with glorious hot water pressure. Just be careful to not damage the metal or gaskets. Old trick my dad taught me. Wife won't let me mess with ours...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    This post makes me sad. I tend to forget because I grew up with the Original Trilogy and had Star Wars toys, clothes, sheets, etc... but there are generations of people out there who don't like or don't care about Star Wars because of the prequels. I guess to be fair, to not be exposed to the OT...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    This is an interesting idea, though I'd guess Ben saw his own past and future as well. Though you could argue that Rey had the vision because of her memory wipe. But if Ben saw a vision after touching the helmet, it would explain the "show me again" line.

    Ouch... seems a dick move to wait until they invested so much time and money.

    Well... if we assume that Ep.3 is canon, as bad as it was, wasn't Bail Organa with Yoda and Obi-Wan when they decided to split the children. Obi-Wan said something along the lines I'll take the boy to his family on Tatooine and keep an eye on him.

    I wish I were. But remember they pit a stone in Vision's forehead. Having one in the Eye of Agamotto doesn't surprise me.

    My bad, you're right there were 3. One giving chase, then Han says two more.

    That's because Carrie Fisher's wooden face can't show emotion, and we didn't have Obi-Wan to become weakened by the force tremor of millions of voices crying out in terror. All they needed was Maz, force sensitive or not, to fall to her hands and knees and say, "Five worlds. 40 billion lives...

    It's an infinity stone. At some point it will be taken from him, so he will need to be able to use some sort of internal magic. That or he will be killed when Thanos takes the stone.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    The death star was fear. Yes it had a planet destroying super laser, but it was a 'technological terror' that could travel from system to system. The idea that it was impervious to an attack only added to the fear. The DSII gets a little more fuzzy. The idea to build a second one is goofy...

    What new canon book has Luke being a bad ass? GoogleFu says there's a book where he goes to Devaron but it looks like that is a flashback to before Empire. I think we all want Luke to be a supreme jedi god, but there isn't anything that says that's the case. He only won on Death Star II because...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Why do we think Kylo is super mega powerful? He stopped a blaster bolt. Thats all. Maybe that's all he's good at. Maybe that's why his turn to the Dark side was easy. He wants to intimidate and impress because maybe he's weak in combat. Clearly he wants to be his Grandfather but wouldn't even...

    How would it be any different if she was Luke's daughter? Anakin>Luke>Rey -or- Obi-Wan>child>Rey If they followed ANH this closely, then it's not outside the realm of possibilities that they draw closely from Empire. I can see them making Luke's wife/Rey's mom/Obi-Wan's daughter the Sith...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Saw it Friday night. Been quiet trying to catch up on the opinions of those here. No one cares, but here are my thoughts. Loved the movie. Obviously there are a few issues, but man it blew the prequels out of the water. We knew Ford wasn't going to do another trilogy so I his send off was...

    Wheel of Time series

    Winters Heart is better on a re-read. I read it the month it was released around '00 I think, and it wasn't good. Then Crossroads came out... now that was a bad one. I don't think I'll ever open CoT again. Chapter summaries FTW. After doing a re-read, Winters Heart is one of the better later...

    Oscar Issac was on Kimmel last night, and he said they gave him a layout of the cockpit and what all the buttons were assigned to from previous movies and shows. It's not something that I would pick up on, but I could see some mega nerds pitching a fit over him pushing the wrong button for comms...

    Some shitlord brought their <1 year old and a 3 year old to Jurassic World. And to top it off it was an after 9pm show. Had to listen to that bs the whole movie. My son is 5 and I intend to take him. He gets mad at me for whispering to him asking if he needs anything. He's also like a few of...

    Song was used in the first movie when young Kirk stole his step dad's car. I just rewatched both reboot movies in the last two weeks. I'll agree that they're not TOS or TNG, but who gives a fuck. These movie are fun and funny. The cast works great together and Karl Urban is awesome in these...

    We sold our house 3 years ago with no realtor. We were selling some living room tables and got into small talk about wanting to move. The guy buying the tables said his sister was looking for an upgrade. 30 minutes later she came over to tour our place. Asked what we wanted and we got 20k over...

    Star Wars Rebels

    Just finished season one. Great show. I watched most of Clone Wars but this is better being linked to classic Star Wars. Love the Tarkin character. They did a good job linking his younger self in Clone Wars to ANH. The super thin sabers kind of bother me though. Looking forward to starting...

    Wheel of Time series

    You'll get very mixed reviews in this community. Most people don't like it. Personally I loved the series. It is not Malazan or ASoIaF, and if you're waiting for that to happen you'll be disappointed. It's really it's own style. You get some good character developments for a lot of the...

    Guys... it's going to be ok. Really it will. It seems a lot are now tempering expectations to protect themselves from the let down of the Prequels. Happens to sport fans before big games too. We're just over a week away, take a deep breath, and let the force flow through you.

    It sounds sappy, and maybe it would be hard for closure, but what about a voice recording? Something she can play at a low moment to remind her how much you love her. My wife is my best friend, and if I never got to hear her voice again I'd be crushed. I don't have the faintest idea what to say...

    Vader was in it for 20 seconds talking to the Inquisitor guy. It's the first episode at 44 minutes. Wiki calls it a movie and I remember seeing it sold in stores as such. They steal food and weapons to help a village then try to save some wookies.

    Ok, jumping in to this shoe and I watched the 45 min 'movie' last night. Seemed boring and lame. Please tell me this gets better. Granted I fell asleep for a little stretch, but it was so repetitive. Better than Ezra gets put somewhere, cut to a planing session, they find out he's been...

    As soon as one of them said, Glad we finally got to eat these burgers, I paused the DVR and said to my wife, she is going to get snipered. Curious if Ward is going to become 'possessed' by the inhuman. I like Ward as is, but I can see something like that happening. One issue I had was the...

    Weird sleep issue

    If you've done a sleep study, then I'd agree it's not apnea. You say when you wake you feel rested and refreshed so your body is getting oxygen. I have apnea(just diagnosed) and I feel exhausted all day no matter how much sleep I get. I don't have any experience with the other suggestions here.
