And IIRC it was after they had made a bunch of practical effects, so it’s not like it was saving them money or anything. The execs literally just said “re-do these parts but worse”.

Maybe your body is digested over a thousand years because the Sarlaac doesn’t catch very much prey so it has evolved a hyper-efficient digestive system and sits dormant most of the time, but also once you’re in Luke’s right and you’ll actually die of crushing or acid burning or dehydration.

But they also call it “The Almighty Sarlaac”, which to me implies that this is all folk knowledge. So maybe “be digested over a thousand years” is just what Tatooinians believe will happen to anyone who falls in.

Even if Luke’s right, it’s not like being held down by tentacles while stomach acid slowly burns every part of your body until you finally die of dehydration doesn’t sound pretty painful.

My first thought was “this is a much easier way for a Vampire to eat than stealing from a blood bank.”

Blow a fat cloud on someone else’s desk so their name pops up, bonus points if your teachers suck and blindly punish anyone whose name gets triggered.

we hope this will reduce vaping through social pressure

The social pressure of all of your friends knowing that you’re cool and break the rules?

I agree, but I just know that someday Mozilla is going to go down and I’m gonna lose my passwords and I won’t even be able to get into my email to reset them.

Well, if the government is accountable to the people, then pressures from below should shape its policies. But in America as-is I suppose you’re right that there would be no reason to think that that would happen, only a proletarian democracy can truly ensure that a government is responsive to the needs and desires of the people.

The Soviets had an “apartment swap” system for people who wanted to move around filled-to-capacity neighborhoods. You would get on the list with where you currently lived and put in where you wanted to move and would get informed when there was a match. Sometimes matches would be arranged in triangles or other more complex shapes, but since everybody involved needed to get on the same page this was rare. The wait to move depended on how lucky you were - sometimes you’d get a match right away, sometimes you’d forget about it until ten years later when you would get a letter asking if you were still interested.

This was all in the 60s and 70s when things were generally more chill.

What’s wild is that if you replaced them with a single payer system or whatever else, you would still have a lot of bureaucratic work that needs to get done by the new system, so most if not all of those jobs would still exist - they would just shift from trying to deny people care to trying to connect people to care.

Plus the cockpit doors lock. Which can turn out to be a double-edged sword if the pilot has a breakdown and decides he wants to take everyone else with him.

That’s cool as hell and animals definitely have all kinds of methods of communication that I’m sure we haven’t figured out yet - but it’s not language.

If we take KOTOR into account, then pretty much everything that’s possible to invent in the SW universe has been invented, and technology only changes when knowledge gets lost or rediscovered.

He doesn’t get shot, one of his wingmen gets shot and then his other wingman crashes into him.

Leia, a part time space wizard, uses her space magic to move through space. TBH I’ve never understood why people cried foul at that scene.

God damn I love super detailed drawings of sci fi things (even if the drawings aren’t particularly scientific, “hypermatter reactor” lmao).

• Piracy doesn’t hurt sales.
• Small musicians did and still do make their money from live shows.
• More small musicians are successful today than ever before, despite digital sales/streaming paying pennies.
