I’m not weird. I act perfectly normal when no one is watching. honest.

I feel like Gowron would draw the line at choking out the mother of your children. or super weapons.

or like, that spinning is ‘a good trick’.

Or scarif. Or who knows how many other random rocks.

You’d need more than 2-3 tests.

wanna bet it was a test site for the death star? some rando planet nobody gave a damn about blown up to to calibrate the deathstars superlaser?

Gotta count heads for attendance, too.

Also time.

math is pervasive and inevitable.

If it ain’t broke… maintain it.

C’mon. Ashoka is old enough to be Luke’s mother.

Hobbies are activities done for relaxation or enjoyment, and which serves no Economic or functional purpose beyond that.

So, yes. “Hello There!”-ing could be a hobby.

It’s a good flick, I enjoyed it

If you’re an avid Asimov fan, you should know it’s only loosely related to the iRobot stories.

All with slight differences is pronunciation

All right then, come on.

And the red one.

Well, come on Red. Let’s go.

what’s more imperial than hiding your broken down shit behind grand robes and facade? or having boots that are so uncomfie that Grand Moffs with no fucks to give walk around in slippers?

honestly, that chair looks rather uncomfortable.

Would that have been palpy’s dick-extension cannon on all the first order ships?

Can’t use vinegar on cast iron?

sure you can. I do it regularly. if your pan is well seasoned to begin with, all it does is removes a slight amount of the seasoning. Which is restored the next time you cook by simply adding oil to the pan (like you should be doing anyhow.) If you let it sit or use it too strong, the worst case is generally that you’ve stirpped off the seasoning. with the food-grade white vinegar, it’s going to take quite a lot to actually etch the pan (never mind cause pitting.) (like, Full strength full-roil boil. Salt added.)

And assuming your talking about PTFE (“Teflon”) coatings… Yeah. Noo. PTFE is nonreactive with vinegar, you can use it on things that are nonstick. Pretty sure ceramics are safe too. (they work by releasing silicone oils into the food. eyah. that’s going to end well.)

you’ve reminded me of an old joke that is only tangentially- and quite ephemerally- relevant.

Do you know why, in the Business Professionals Baseball League, the Accountants always win?

because the last time they lost, they started chanting " 2, 4, 5, 8, Who do we Depreciate!"

Hands down… the vinegar bottle. cheap, white vinegar.

For getting baked-on-cruft off pans and such. 50/50 mix with water, heated up to steaming (or boiling, if you’re a nutter.) Poor in and let sit. Boom. if it’s a pan or pot that can go on the stove; even easier.

for appliances… coffee pot. definitely. i may be an addict.

Pot roast is usually something like rump roast or a round roast- inexpensive large roasts.

Typically you put it in a pot with carrot, potatoes and seasoning and spices. (Frequently a spice mix packet. Personally I’ll take a halved fennel bulb, a couple whole cloves, minced onion, salt and pepper, some red wine or vinegar. Keep it covered with water until tender then cook off the water at a low temp. You might want to add the carrots and potatoes later if it’s a large roast. Also consider using vegetable stock instead of water.)

Also another very adaptable staple is rice and lintels. It’s a whole protein, just cook them separate in 1:1 ratio, leave them slightly under cooked and finish together with “flavoring”- they’re pretty neutral on their own; so you can do pretty much anything you want here. (Onion, garlic, chili flakes/powder/chilis, quartered cherry tomatoes, and a splash of lime juice is a crowd pleaser.)
