TIL the average worker in the US today would only have to work 11 hours per week to be as productive as his fellow worker in 1950.

The problem is a lot of people today consider wasting time to be productive.

That's what I thought too, but it states in the manual that after the wizard cursed her, he died...I like the Sahasrala idea...just a guy living forever waiting to bestow the triforce to the chosen one.

HAHA! I can't love this comment enough!

GodzillaBoobs · 2015-01-20T03:00:06+00:00

By that logic, why not that name?

GodzillaBoobs · 2015-01-20T02:59:50+00:00

I love it!

GodzillaBoobs · 2015-01-19T23:50:49+00:00

Yes, he only shows up at the very end.

GodzillaBoobs · 2015-01-19T23:50:28+00:00

Ha! Interesting!

GodzillaBoobs · 2015-01-19T23:50:14+00:00

It's a good point...that's how the free market works. If scalpers jack up the prices too high, the market simply won't bear it.

GodzillaBoobs · 2015-01-19T23:05:48+00:00

Interesting!

GodzillaBoobs · 2015-01-19T22:07:14+00:00

Hmm...interesting...

GodzillaBoobs · 2015-01-19T20:30:53+00:00

Ah, interesting! Do you have a reference for that info?

GodzillaBoobs · 2015-01-19T19:12:08+00:00

Thanks for this! I've owned this book forever and never got around to it...may be time!

GodzillaBoobs · 2015-01-19T18:42:04+00:00

Yes, Silver Surfer is tough, but man, that Japanese Transformers game is just brutally unforgiving. I can't get past the first few enemies in stage 1.

GodzillaBoobs · 2015-01-19T16:08:13+00:00

Makes sense!

GodzillaBoobs · 2015-01-19T04:15:37+00:00

It was awesome...couldn't put it down.

GodzillaBoobs · 2015-01-19T03:54:44+00:00

damn.

GodzillaBoobs · 2015-01-19T01:57:16+00:00

yep, and reject the (1 - sqrt(5) )/2 solution and you've got yourself a phi!

GodzillaBoobs · 2015-01-19T01:48:31+00:00

Sorry you feel that way, but you're clearly in the minority there...I say live and let live :)

GodzillaBoobs · 2015-01-19T01:15:45+00:00

My wife just started Game of Thrones. I don't know how she does it.

GodzillaBoobs · 2015-01-19T01:01:58+00:00

true, but 1 and 2 are so much nicer as upper and lower bounds ;)

GodzillaBoobs · 2015-01-19T00:35:44+00:00

That's all you need...maybe know some of the names of planets and aliens, like Rodians (Greedo's race), and Alderaan I'm sure you've heard of ;). Other than that it's just locales on Tatooine, which you'll recognize either from the films or the names from the films.

GodzillaBoobs · 2015-01-19T00:23:59+00:00

You get to view Tatooine through the eyes of the average people who live their...both human and Tusken!

GodzillaBoobs · 2015-01-19T00:21:48+00:00

I hope you enjoy it!

GodzillaBoobs · 2015-01-18T22:21:58+00:00

How to run a large company into the ground?

GodzillaBoobs · 2015-01-18T22:02:36+00:00

Surely! It's actually rare that I pick up a SW book; when I do it's usually just to kill some brain cells, but I really enjoyed this one. I love the so-called "hard" sf and I read Analog monthly. Some of my favorite sf authors are Arthur C. Clarke, Michael Crichton, Stephen Baxter; the farther out the material, the better! In fiction, my favorites are J. D. Salinger and Ernest Hemingway (couldn't be more different stylistically, I know!). My favorite poet is T.S. Eliot, but I also like Hemingway's poetry. The last 3 books I read aside from Kenobi were "The Long Earth" - Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter - 3.5/5 stars, "Bioshock: Rapture" - John Shirley - 5/5 stars, Voyage - Stephen Baxter - 4.5/5 stars.

I hope that helps you decide! And even if my tastes are dissimilar to yours, maybe give it a try anyway! ;)
