My favorite “theory” about this is based on the fact that they shot a reaction cut of Obi-Wan looking suspicious, implying that Han thought they were a couple rubes that wouldn’t know what a parsec was. That would mean it wasn’t a mistake, and you don’t need to come up with the convoluted shit other people have to justify it.

They have no power to give those people reparations, so yeah, why not? Just cut the head off the damn snake and dust off your hands.

Most science communication YouTube channels engage in debunking (of flat feathers, young earth creationists, pseudoarcheologists, etc.), always with evidence. Just because a bunch of racist pngtubers co-opted the word skeptical 10-15 years ago doesn’t change the meaning of the word itself.

I’ve heard this too. It also allows for easily making your own thermometer, since you can just divide by 2 until you get all the way down to degrees.

Only one worth using! Up top!

I find it very difficult to believe that you don’t like a single Spielberg movie, just on a quantity level. He’s made so many at this point, at least one must tickle your fancy.

As someone in the inside, what’s the rationale behind having to publicly post jobs like this? Why can’t you just offer the job to the person you want to give it to?

I see one comment like that, and they couched that opinion in so much praise for the steam deck that your reaction to it seems way over the top.

They’re right, though.

I want to know how polar bears figured out that they need an air hole in their dens. Is that passed down instinctually or demonstratively? Animals are so cool.

Rating inflation. If someone called you a 5 or 6 out of 10, you’d feel bad. 7/10 is the bottom of acceptability, just like 72° is room temperature.

He just really wanted to impress his hot cousin!

I had one of those! So cool, loved not having a giant glowing thing on my wrist but still receiving notifications.

Wow, that one guy had a huge stick up his ass.

Oh wow, that’s so easy.

Just to battle against? Because gen 1 didn’t have breeding, so he couldn’t give out Mews, right?

Edit: oh right, legendaries can’t breed anyway.

Great reference. The Bobs haven’t really achieved anything on this scale yet, though. The closest is the Skippies’ Matryoshka Brain, but IIRC they’re using a system of satellites around a brown dwarf star, which would be somewhat comparable in size to Jupiter. The Others’ Dyson Sphere project is closer, but I don’t think we really got a sense for how far along they were, and it looks like their home star is only a bit larger than Sol.

Sorry if that came across as nitpicky, I was just excited to see a Bobiverse reference in the wild.

Edit: Got the Others’ star mixed up in my head, it looks like it’s either a red dwarf or completely fictional.

People always argue that -num isn’t a legitimate way for the name of an element to end, but I never see you guys talking about Platinium.

Did you know those wheels sweat oil? I hope they were wiped down before. And after, I guess.
