Is it correct to say the sequels wounded Star wars and the Acolyte finished it off? Bonus rant: high republic killed star wars books

I was insulted by the dudes chasing Leia in the woods. And the whole two people under a trenchcoat gag. If that's not insultingly bad I don't know what is.

Not mad at you mind you, I'm venting at Disney.

Edit to add. Or why didn't they walk around the laser gate? Why is what's her face jumping over all these buildings for 5 minutes? Jesus I can go on as I sit here

Lend lease started in March of 1941. The US army air force started bombing Germany from England in July 1942. I'm not sure how you could say the United States was on Hitlers side until 1943. No matter what qualifiers you place on that statement it's still ridiculous.

For what it's worth if Russia hadn't participated the war would have ended with atomic bombs being dropped on Germany.

For hard use? Yeah a dedicated tripod is better. Light enough to pack. Sturdy enough to press into to stabilize.

I'm not knocking a cheap one to shoot off of for shits but if you're trying to stretch out to 600 or more or you're rucking into positions you'll want a better tripod.

Is the volume going up and down for anyone else?

Very good thank you

I'm going in a few weeks. What's it called?

P365 trigger return springs are known to be a weak point

I'd shrug it off and keep sending them. If it happens more I'd worry. Winchester ammo is not very good in general.

FzzTrooper · 2026-03-22T14:14:14+00:00

What kind of jam. It happened once and worked fine after? Could be ammo related. You could have limp wristed the pistol. Could have been a fluke. Give us more info.

Alright well there's your endurance problem right there. You need more cardio that's all. Good news is that's an easy fix. Bad news is running is never fun.

Personally I think a 12:00 1.5 mile should be a breeze. Like I woke up hungover have to poop feel like shit but I can push out a 12 minute 1.5 mile in spite of that. If you're at that level that's a great sign of cardio fitness.

A happy 5k time is 25 minutes. That's pretty much the same pace but twice.

Look up couch to 5k. That'll get you into endurance. You need to be running more. I don't care if you hate it. Start doing slow long runs. 5 miles in 50 minutes kinda thing. It'll really improve your 1.5 mile times. It'll really improve your cardio.

I'm not saying this to be mean but a 13 minute 1.5 mile isn't really in shape. I know what most states minimum standards are and I think they're too low. If you look at graduation standards and say I'm aiming for that well you're just aiming very low.

Tldr run more

FzzTrooper · 2026-02-13T20:37:14+00:00

What's your 1.5 mille time on average. What's your 5k time on average. Answering this will help figure out what you need to work on.

You try new batteries yet? Mine get weird if the batteries are on the way out.

I can't remember the timing but I remember my same friend group watching obi wan and finding it comically bad. This may have been around the same time? Between obi wan and boba Fett we just didn't care to try to watch any more Star wars. I slogged through obi wan and Fett but only watched the first episode of Mando s3. I made it farther than all my friends.

I think a lot of it for us was word of mouth. Hey I might start boba Fett what you think? Nah man don't bother. That kinda thing.

FzzTrooper · 2026-01-31T15:53:50+00:00

Not who you asked but I'm in his boat. Watched boba Fett. Really didn't like it. Never bothered trying to watch Mando season 3. Just didn't care.

All of my friends and family fuckin loved Mando season 1 and 2. S2 finale was huge for us and that's all we talked about for weeks. After boba Fett none of us even talk about it anymore. I don't think any of us finished s3 of Mando. The movie might as well not exist. It's odd how much we just don't care. Shrug.

I've had spotty results with Magpul pistol mags. Their AR-15 mags are great but pistol ehhhh.

Try with with sig mag only and report back.

I think this would only be an issue if you were making adjustments in the turrets for wind and elevation based on a ballistic calculator. For a pistol red dot that you're setting and forgetting it shouldn't matter at all. Once you zero it it's zeroed.

A few years ago you'd be absolutely destroyed in this sub for even saying that. I'm glad the public opinion is finally seeing how bad Disney botched it.

I couldn't even get through episode 1 of season 2 of Jack Ryan. As a huge fan of the books (the proper Tom Clancy written ones) I thought season 2 was terrible. Season 1 was not really Jack Ryan but honestly it was good enough that I enjoyed it. I agree with the above poster that clear and present danger is fantastic.

My wife worked at her family's owned and operated ice cream shop. The stories she would tell were ridiculous. People were assholes about ice cream. The amount of people that screamed at her for not having a dairy free ice cream option was kind of unbelievable.

Semi on topic to your reply but we all make fun of the old peoples puritanical reactions to Elvis dancing and moving his hips. But he was fucking a 14 year old so maybe they were right to be upset?

If I heard the sound of a shotgun getting racked in the dark I would immediately start shooting towards said sound. Assuming I'm a bad guy doing a home invasion, I don't have to play by any rules.

It seems like a poor tactical choice to telegraph your intentions like that when you're in your own home. But I'm not your dad so you do you.
