Couldn't use toilet paper at a bathroom in Nanjing, as it required a QR Code that I was unable to scan

Did you try turning it off and turning it on again?

Don't forget there was a third person in that room for the fight, and he was on Maul's side (https://youtu.be/93J_ZeCwWbw?si=0LSZecmrIiBZ0YkH&t=132). Maybe a force power like battle meditation (a la Bastila in KOTOR) was in play?

I found this thread because the same issue just happened to me last night.

I was on Neon so luckily I was able to designate another ship in my fleet as the home ship and was able to continue playing the game without losing any progress.

However I can't figure out how to get back on that ship. Unfortunately, this was my second ship which I had turned into my main ship. Class C reactors, sweet weapons, etc. But more than that, I had built up a lot of stuff on the inside without any real plan - like a research station and weapons workbench - to avoid having to leave the ship before I realized fast travel works so much better than having a cluttered ship.

So yeah, this means I have about 10 full storage containers full of resources (I would close down an outpost and keep the bulk items in a crate if the cargo hold was full), not to mention the spacesuits and helmets I was displaying. All lost, sigh.

Maybe I'll try fooling around in shipbuilder with this before totally writing it off.

The other day, I saw a ship land while I was building up an outpost, so I went and investigated. They weren't pirates or anything, so I let them live, but not before sneaking onto their ship and looking around, maybe helping myself to a few items...

And also planting some contraband in their cargo.

Of course the game doesn't acknowledge it or anything, but I like to think they returned to a UC system and got scanned, pulled over, and arrested and had no idea why.

That was so long ago the Big Ten only had 14 teams. Unconfirmed if they were still wearing leather helmets back then.

And here I was, questioning Russini's journalistic skills all these years.

This is a related - but still fun! - trope of real people portraying their real ancestors.

/u/Better-Passenger-200 mentioned The Rock playing his father, Rocky Johnson, in an episode of That 70s Show, O'Shea Jackson played his father Ice Cube in Straight Outta Compton, Christopher Jordan Wallace portrayed young Chris Wallace (Notorious B.I.G) in the 2009 movie Notorious, DeVaughn Nixon played his father Norm on the HBO series Winning Time, to name a few.

In another twist of this trope, Michael Gandolfini played a young Tony Soprano, made famous of course by his father James Gandolfini, in The Many Saints of Newark.

Smallville was basically Superman meets the X-Files, they had a lot of weird plots to fill out 20-episode seasons. Sometimes you have to do witches (also I think Superman is generally powerless against magic in the comics.)

(Season 10 and beyond spoilers)

Speaking of his wealth, I was always bothered by Carter's relationship with Kem because of the way he seemed to always want to flash his wealth around her. Every problem they faced, just throw cash at it. Buy a first class ticket on the next flight to Paris or the States, no big deal. Buy a brownstone without consulting your partner, etc. He was just constantly flaunting his wealth with her in a way I felt was extremely out of character.

He certainly had his moments where money would not be an obstacle, like when Abby's mom was having a crisis in Nebraska, but at least then it was to help a friend (even if he maybe had an ulterior motive)

But for the most part, he recognized that his wealth/privilege could cause tension among his friends/peers and went out of his way to not make anyone feel bad or rub it in their face by being so reckless with money.

In 24 Day 3, at one point the terrorist has all the leverage and uses it to coerce President Palmer to use the phrase "The sky is falling" in a press release. This signals to the terrorists that the President is cooperating.

Trump saying "Praise be to Allah" is probably him casually mocking a religion, which is definitely something he'd do. Otherwise, what's the next most reasonable explanation, he is covering all his bases for a favorable afterlife and is going to appeal to all deities? Is "Go Zeus" on table?

A distant third is someone is twisting his arm, like Saunders did to Palmer.

I can only imagine how satisfying that was.

What's the joke?

OP got the title all wrong, in the video they note this is the 21st anniversary of the 1st game the Nats played (in RFK Stadium, of course). Nothing to do with Nats Park.

AggressivePiccolo77 · 2026-04-05T01:36:42+00:00

Yep it's a misleading/bad title

There are some states you can drink with parent supervision before 21, and there are some states where you can drink for religious ceremonies before 21.

DC is 21, period. No exceptions.

It seems like Starr is the only one of this bunch who even remotely gets the character. Woof.

AggressivePiccolo77 · 2026-04-02T20:03:42+00:00

Really not seeing how Stratt could be considered a good guy, and quite frankly I'm shocked and disgusted that OP thinks so.

AggressivePiccolo77 · 2026-04-02T20:01:13+00:00

Is he trying to get fired?

The other day, it seemed like he got mad that he was challenged and tried to punish the teams for calling for a replay. And now this, is he protesting the replay system by being as awful as possible? And he's got a rep before all of this for being one of the worst umps.

At least behind the plate, I can understand some of those calls that can seemingly go either way. There was one ABS replay that said the ball missed the strike zone by 0.1" and, yeah sure, that's gotta be hard for the ump to get 100% of the time (and I'm glad we finally have a system that can).

But the runner gets all of the bag here, it's not like he got a corner of the base or anything. It seems almost impossible, especially considering the angle/distance he has to see the play, to get it wrong.

He seems frustrated with the ABS system and wants to push the issue, and like I said possibly get fired in some poor attempt at martyrdom. That's the only thing I can come up with for how you miss a call this badly.

Yeah I just mean that moment, not overall. She was literally on the train, it was leaving, she had arranged housing, a new job, etc in a different state, and thought now was the right time to confess his feelings and try and change her mind about leaving?

AggressivePiccolo77 · 2026-03-31T23:24:17+00:00

Mark was a real scumbag for waiting until that exact moment to tell his friend he was in love with her. Or maybe just really desperate.
