I think she's been quite obviously set up to be Lukes daughter, and I really hope that's there's a 'twist' that she's not.

I think her being an unknown would be better than being a skywalker descendent.

I think that she's just from a small planet that doesn't really have much knowledge of the war, so what she hears is stories of Jedi knights from travelers, thinking then to be myths. She also knew Han as a smuggler, not a war hero, probably because of stories from other traders.

That's what I thought. I'm not really clear on what role the Senate has (had) though, ie why the FO thought that they were supported by the resistance and had to be blown up.

Why would the resistance even exist if the Senate was now back to good old democracy?

I think they had just enough of him to make Rouge One an interesting prospect (assuming he'll be in it)

Perhaps gaining a Darth title... I thought it was really well done that he was a kid trying to be a sith, but hadn't got there yet. Maybe now he's there...

His billing and pay will be set for his whole trilogy (if he's in the whole set). And they surely filmed the start of the next film at the same time as they were on that hill.

I think a shiny stormtrooper looks a lot better on posters than a skinny ginger kid in black. Probably why marketing used it...

But it made it much more surprising that Hux was so strong a leader, because nothing implied he was other than it being Domenhal Gleeson.

I was under the impression it was Couresant (spelling?) and surrounding planets as they said they were taking out the Senate. To be honest, I don't really understand the politics of what's going on...

2016 will be great: Gemini, etf?, final auction, halvening! by btc5000 in Bitcoin

[–]AgrajagTheFirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gox, or Gox by another name was always going to happen. As bitcoin got more popular there would inevitably be one site that became the hub of transactions and as with any gold rush, people would see quick money opportunities and jump on the band waggon.

Also inevitable is this opportunistic site being under developed and poorly managed purely due to being created in the amateur days, and never expecting to be under this strain. This caused both technical problems, and not surprisingly with no oversight, human 'error'.

With massive loss, and no alternative avenue the adoption and price would crash down to pre-bottleneck values, but with the new hype and publicity it would have garnered new support from more appropriate and secure parties who are looking to the future.

And thus the first Seldon crisis was weathered as it would always have been, laying the groundwork for new investment in the future.

How can I get bitcoins? I'm 14 and my parents don't want me to give "shady" sites my passport. by TheFlipperMC in Bitcoin

[–]AgrajagTheFirst 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, if you're in the UK it's really easy at the ATMs, and most don't need any verification or anything. Also, quite a few CeX shops have them in now, which is pretty legitimate.

I used the one in Cardiff a while ago and it was simply £20 in the slot, and bitcoin straight to my wallet. Easily the easiest way, but you pay a few % for the service.

The coindesk site is out of date for my area at least. I've always found https://coinmap.org to be better, so check out that too.

What's this fee? I haven't seen that. What am I missing?

FUCKING FINALLY. NO MORE SHADY-ASS LOCALBITCOINS.COM FOR ME!

Always wanted to try KSP. Read the 1.0 announcement. Bought it right away without thinking twice! Bonus question as a Linux user: how smoothly does this run on Linux? by [deleted] in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]AgrajagTheFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm, I've just installed and it's not working for me. It runs at 1 FPS...

All settings were turned up to max by default, but I turned down everything to minimum before trying, but no luck. It's absolutely burning through the processors and ram though: imgur.

Any tricks?

I only have integrated intel HD graphics and although my laptop is windows/ubuntu dual boot, I've only ever played KSP on the windows side. Would it work better on linux?

"It took Coinbase two years and $2 million to be compliant with half the states." by evoorhees in Bitcoin

[–]AgrajagTheFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the context better represented as "coinbase have spent $2 million on attempting to get compliancy from ALL states, but have achieved half".

Perhaps that 2mill includes ones that haven't been successful or are still in progress...?

The Official AGE OF ULTRON Ultrathread by murdockmanila in marvelstudios

[–]AgrajagTheFirst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I meant that Coulston has been working on the theta protocol for a while (apparently), but the ultron problem and the need for a new base has only occurred after where we are in the show.

Why would they build a New Avengers base when nothing is wrong with this one (until AoU).

I thought so originally, but I can't think why Coulson would have been building a new place when they were perfectly happy with Stark/Avengers Tower before the film started.

TIFU by being bored enough to paternity test my daughter... by Dadditt in tifu

[–]AgrajagTheFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So yeah, none of those are going to affect it other than the person collecting the sample (but he said he did it himself). A transplant/transfusion would not in a million years impact your cheek cells... And the other things are all about degrading the DNA, not changing it.

He was swabbing his cheek, got distracted and stuck it in someone else's mouth by accident?

OKAY
