    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I think it's too soon to judge the depth of Rey's character. She doesn't know who she is, we don't know who she is or what role she will have in Ep 8+9. She's in a similar situation to Luke in Ep4, but whereas Luke had Uncle Owen & co feeding him bs about his past, Rey doesn't know a god damn...

    I make 6 figures for a Fortune 100 company and the cheap fucks still only pay 50% match on the first 6% of my pay as a company policy. You're not doing too bad.

    The pessimist in me thinks 6% CAGR overall is a safer calc. The crazy gains of the 80s / 90s will be pretty tough to beat in an economy that is quickly becoming a global market. Also @Big_w_powah The 18k is your contribution only. Employer matching doesn't count towards that cap, but does have...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I'd love a hot hatch, but fuck they need to go on a serious diet. That Civic R looks god awful, but I can see the demographic they are going for. Each their own and all. If VW could shed 200kg off a Golf R, that would be ideal for me. Totally agree with @Hekotat about price points. Some of...

    The fuck are some of you people talking about it being a stacked tribe with LBGTHZYNAQ whatevers for some "stunt"? They randomly drew buffs for the current tribes. As said already, there is no way it was staged based on the reactions of the tribe mates. Half these people are too dumb to play the...

    Yea, the S8 seems like the smallest "upgrade" I have seen from Samsung in years. Hell, they didn't even bother upgrading the camera. Going to happily hold onto my S7 until the next best thing.

    The Astronomy Thread

    5km thick ice crust sounds like it would be technologically impenetrable for the foreseeable future. Someone get Bruce Willis on the phone. The best we could probably do is land a rover as near to one of the plumes as possible and pray for some microbial ETs to land on some sensors.

    Your Own Photography

    It really isn't difficult in full manual. It's a relationship of shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. Each one will affect one another. You typically want to keep your ISO as low as possible (noise as woot said). From there, its getting enough light by balancing your speed / aperture. Just focus on...

    I've actually got the Brikka version. It's a steep leap in price, but makes a better crema. I still love my old fashioned Moka though. My Italian friends first told me about them and basically said you won't find a house in Italy without one. For $15-$25 (depending on size), you still can't beat it.

    I care a hell of a lot less about storage space than I did years back. I used to carry a pretty hefty music collection around with me on my phones, but now after using Spotify for the last year I hardly use any space at all. People stream pretty much all media these days. Storage isn't nearly as...

    I am kinda opposite. My S7 Edge was such a surprising leap ahead of my S6 in terms of features and battery life that I do not feel compelled to upgrade at all. My S7 is perfect and I haven't read anything about the S8 to make me want to run out and upgrade. This is coming from a guy for the last...

    It's quite simple, the enforcement went out the window as SoE / DBG lost money and pulled CS staff.

    Oh, I get it. You probably didn't catch my earlier posts but this VCSH pool is short term money. I am looking to make a significant change in job / country of residence by the end of the year. This will be house money if I decide to go back stateside. I am not willing to risk this pool of cash...

    You can still get free insta cast gate pots in PoK, but they are not stackable. They added gate pots to hub that stack and have a cast time, but cost plat. Some type of clicky would have been ideal, but people were cheesing encounters with gate to get out of combat for quick med. (You can...

    I know when Nisea and I looked at GoD on NL, we found empty zones, broken scripts, and unpopulated loot tables. The xpac was pretty much abandoned at that point. The only custom zone currently on NL is Crushbone. Nisea basically added low tier GoD loot, which is mostly useless compared to...

    I took Blazin's advice and dumped ~85% of my cash into VCSH. It's Vanguard's short term corp bond fund. It's basically paying monthly dividends far better than any bank is going to give you, plus the recent market instability has boosted the share price a small quarter percent since I bought it...

    And depending on how much money you want to spend, Milford sound isn't far as the crow flies. You can hop on a prop plane / heli from Queenstown and be in Milford Sound in 30-40 minutes for a few hundred kiwi bucks. If you want to drive, its a long 4 hour slog because you have to drive in nearly...

    All that came about from the 70s oil crisis. 55 mph was the "sweet spot" for fuel savings, which the gov forced on everyone by the national limit. National Maximum Speed Law - Wikipedia It's crazy to think, this law wasn't repealed until 1995. (Was raised to 65mph in the 80s)

    The only possible explanation for the lack of Sandra votes has to be the edit. I think everyone has simply assumed no one in their right mind would vote for Sandra as a two time winner. Plus, she doesn't pose a threat in individual immunity. I am guessing they just let her run amok and ignore...

    All of those fast food places deliver here in the middle east. I literally rang up KFC yesterday, they use your caller ID which registers you right into their system. I simply tell them to send the same as the last order. Phone call takes all of 30 seconds, food shows up 15 mins later. Shake...

    MQ is allowed on RA. Spawn times vary. You can also grind daily missions for Guk points (Server's alt currency). There's a ton of stuff to be bought via guks and if you are feeling especially impatient on bosses for Tiered armor / epics, you can buy a spawn token. Trash mobs also drop guk points...

    Sadly, Rogue is one of the worst classes currently. Server Dev just got back from vacation today and I know a Rogue revamp is on his list of to-dos. They are basically lacking in DPS and have a weak Epic 5.0, aside from that they are fine. You could start one and hope he gets around to fixing...
