The first season of Andor is some of the best TV I have ever watched. Its incredibly well done.

The second season is still good, just not great. Apparently there were originally supposed to be 5 seasons, and it kind of shows that they compacted it all into two. The highs of season 2 are on par with season 1, but its just not as consistently excellent.

The ending isn’t a grand finale, but it can’t be. The grand finale is Rogue One. I didn’t have a problem with it because I always had RO in mind as the last, extra long episode.

1000% still worth a watch. Easily the best Star Wars content to have come out in the Disney era by a mile.

If all music streaming services were owned by HBO then yeah, I would argue that.

My partner and I stumbled across first edition Ticknor & Fields printings (1867) of Henry Longfellow’s translations of Inferno and Purgatorio at a used bookstore a couple years back. Got them for a song since they were missing the Paradiso to complete the set.

The owner said that they had been sitting in his storage for 15 years as part of an estate donation he got and he finally had the chance to go through it. When he found them he tore apart the rest of the boxes looking for the Paradiso but it just wasn’t there.

Now its our white whale. Every used bookstore we go in we scour the classics/oldest/rare book section looking to complete the set.

Who art a douchebag

Cast Vicious Mockery.

In the book it is explained that since (in universe) her vision is based on movement, she roars to scare prey into fleeing so that she can see them.

Its a stillsuit, why would you get OUT to pee?!

This guy can’t lizardpost.

You have clearly never driven a manual transmission, nor have the slightest idea how to. It is not possible to operate a manual transmission without using both feet on the pedals.

Please don’t comment authoritatively about things you know nothing about. It just makes us all a little bit worse off.

In the original Jurassic Park novel by Michael Crichton, one of the animals they’ve cloned are these giant dragonflies. Its only one line in the book (Tim, one if the kids, sees one fly by and recalls reading about them) but it caught my attention as just straight impossible. I remember thinking, “Unless you’re somehow controlling the oxygen level of the air around this entire island, there’s no way that bug can’t breathe.”

What? Not it’s not. Where did you get this number?

It’s more like 6.7 AU. Source

In other words somewhere between Jupiter and Saturn in terms of distance to the sun.

Well, a billion kilometers is almost 7 times the mean distance between the earth and the sun. Asteroids pass in that distance all the time. We’re currently closer to Ceres (the dwarf planet) than that and its on the other side of the sun from us.

And how much gasoline are you refining in your backyard on those cloudy days?

Kidnapping is a crime.

Toothpaste companies give free products to freshly graduated dental students, then ask them if they would recommend it. They get a bunch of “sure, whatever, yeah” replies and boom, “9 out of 10 dentists recommend! We can’t say 10 out of 10 because legal says that opens us up to lawsuits.”

I’d like to file a complaint. Vermont, a landlocked state, is lumped into the “lobster” group.

Worth it.

As opposed to French, which famously exists as a natural truth of the universe. Even if we had never discovered French it would still be there… waiting.
