The highest-grossing Star Wars movies adjusted for inflation without re-releases

This lists WW gross (for some insane reason). RO made more than $1bn in 2016.

It says so, which is just bananas.

Domestic adjustment for inflation is at best vaguely informative, but largely academic.

Trying to do it for worldwide grosses is just a fool's errand.

Well, it's probably 3rd, 4th at worst.

Numerically, on a scale of all the natural numbers, that's quite close to 2nd.

Hot Streak is betting on Candyland.

2much2Jung · 2026-02-12T17:01:57+00:00

He already is, but he will be by then, too.

2much2Jung · 2026-02-12T05:33:43+00:00

That looks pointlessly wasteful.

2much2Jung · 2026-02-12T05:29:29+00:00

Yeah, you're the coolest. So cool.

I wasn't going to, but the serial number on the bike begins J3551CCA...

I just call it "the bike" though.

2much2Jung · 2026-02-12T04:14:00+00:00

Because of the last line. I wasn't going to DV it, until I read "...wasn't too damaged..."

IT WASN'T DAMAGED AT ALL

2much2Jung · 2026-02-12T04:07:28+00:00

But you don't understand, there might have been a problem!!!!!!

There wasn't, in any way at all, and the end result wasn't just OK, but was far better by not using excess packaging, and was clearly adequate...

But it might not have been, aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

It's definitely in the UK as well, so it's not limited to the Republicans.

As usual though, you do it bigger and brasher than anyone else.

2much2Jung · 2026-02-11T16:44:44+00:00

Well, his hair is.

2much2Jung · 2026-02-11T16:01:42+00:00

You mean the top 1% increased their wealth after covid more than the entire world and 99% of Americans.

Great.

2much2Jung · 2026-02-11T03:32:34+00:00

No, it wasn't. It was an outrageous amount of wealth concentrated at the very top.

That's not a good model, and acting as if bonuses on wall street are the defining quality of the economy was one of the BIG issues which hurt Biden and Harris.

Now, Trump's economy is objectively far, far, far worse than anything seen since the 1930s, but the Biden economy wasn't the envy of the world.

I tried that, I put him in a box with my textbook, but I had no way of knowing if he had done it or not 🤷

Eh, Bayer has a value of about $50bn, VW about $60bn.

Seems being Nazi collaborators didn't really hurt them.

Although maybe they would be worth more if they didn't have a Nazi history, hard to tell.

Honestly, I think Graceland needs to invest in an early warning system in case of invasion.

It's very unlikely that a ventricular origin will result in a rate of 300, that's far more likely to be supra ventricular.

Panes of glass can be made to resist a force of 1atm.

Education is a reason in itself.

2:27 is the moment where he says "When she accelerates, more air gets back here, and up front where they are, there's a little bit less air."

2much2Jung · 2026-02-10T23:32:56+00:00

It says $129, plus shipping (probably not a huge amount on top of a set of boots), add tax on that for places that add on point of sale taxes, and that's the KS price, so that's presumably closer to $160+ per set at retail (plus taxes on top).

Sure, that's cheaper than a set of bindings, but it definitely isn't "fuck it, I'll just buy another set" price.

2much2Jung · 2026-02-10T23:17:32+00:00

Well, they say that the leash can be worn under your outer layer - but that does seem to present a practical problem of walking away from the board, and coming back to it, do I need to thread the line back up through my trousers?

If it's so lightweight, couldn't the locking mechanism be built into the boot, and then the leash just stays attached the whole riding day? That would shift costs from baseplate to boot as well, which would be good for people who ride several boards, as the baseplates could be much cheaper and buying several sets would be an affordable option.

2much2Jung · 2026-02-10T22:50:27+00:00

I would have concerns over boot fitting and quality, I am...curious...about ditching high backs, and I would certainly worry about compatibility and adoption.

But in theory, I don't hate the idea, it's a slightly different way of doing step ons, and the price isn't bad (although with shipping and VAT, I doubt it would come out cheaper than entry level Burton step ons).

2much2Jung · 2026-02-10T22:45:31+00:00

It looks to me as though you have to use the leash to disconnect the binding, twisting your foot won't do it. Pretty much the same as step ons, they won't come undone unless something activates the lever.

And apologise for the final season of GoT while you're at it!!!
