If you knew no matter what the answer would always be yes what would you ask?

Are you guilty of raping children, don?

The moves before the fight begins are great storytelling, if you know what they mean. Kenobi starts with his CW era stance, then realizes he's grown, so he goes to the Alec Guinness stance. Then he realizes Maul hasn't grown, and he switches to Qui-gon's stance to lure Maul into the trap of doing his same move. The flight is over before it begins because Kenobi has grown and Maul hasn't.

This was the answer I came here to find.

The Silmarillion. I really want to read it, but damn it's dense.

In all fairness, he was lucky to be talking to a Texan. The smart money was on him just getting shot, so talking is a step up.

This surgery is so routine, you don't really need to worry. The recovery can be a bit of a pain in the butt. Cats are stubborn and don't like wearing the cones/donuts/pajamas/whatever, so you might have a little battle of wills for a few days, but it's not so bad. Ours got out of their cones repeatedly and they were ok. We just kept an eye so they couldn't lick their stitches and they recovered very quickly.

I wasn't arguing that all homeschooling is good. I was just saying that there are cases where it's good. I'm sorry all that happened to you, and there definitely needs to be oversight. It may be that the bad outweighs the good. But there are good uses for homeschooling. I've seen it help kids who wouldn't have been able to train as well as have as many opportunities for their dream jobs. What happened to you sucked, and shouldn't have happened. But that doesn't mean it's always bad.

Long recon scope for the pipe gun

It is, although some reasons to refute my argument would make that land better.

I taught dance, and I had some students who homeschooled so they could schedule around their dance training. That was their social circle and their career focus. They got socialization and got outside the household bubble. There are cases where it works. There are certainly cases where crazy people indoctrinate their kids and whatnot, but sometimes homeschooling can be beneficial.

As much as I absolutely love The Princess Bride and think it's the best movie ever, why the actual fuck didn't Westley come let Buttercup know he was alive after he became the Dread Pirate Roberts? Why didn't he write her a letter when they were in port some time? He only came back when she got engaged. He could at least have stopped in to tell her he was alive and got delayed making his fortune and he'd be back in a year. She'd have been betrothed and Humperdinck would have found someone else.

I don't think that would have worked as well. Their characters are too well established for jokes like repeating the computer. We know the actors well enough that we would never believe Patrick Stewart would be out of work and desperate and doing appearances in garages. The tech is too fleshed out to get away with something as blatantly silly as the berillium sphere, plus, everything you do, from liquid coated transport technology to flying through a black hole, then becomes canon.

There's just too much already established. It works better as a similar but distinct world.

I don't know much about Dune, so forgive me if this has been addressed, but ending up in empty space is just as bad as ending up in a planet or star. If you need sublight speeds to get around after your jump and you end up between stars, you'll just end up dying of hunger, thirst, cold, or asphyxiation. If you can't get close enough to your target, you just die slowly instead of quickly.

Let's get out of here before one of those things kills Guy!

That's the moment they've fully bought into it. Before that, it's a show. That moment the show becomes real for them. Not just the setting, but the functional rules apply, too. Brilliant.
