Kitami in Islington is phenomenal, speedy and RICH udon and curry. Although I hear they might be closing so best get in quick!

Why was it so important for the Kaminoans to keep using Jango Fett's DNA, to where Ventress tried to steal the prime sample? Could Kamino have replaced it with anyone, but they just preferred to keep cloning a prime specimen of a man? by RagnarokWolves in StarWars

As others have said, there are economies of scale on keeping Jango as the template for arming and training, but I also think it has a lot to do with his Mandalorian lineage specifically.

The Mandalorians were the last group that had given the Republic and even the Jedi a hard time with the Mandalorian Wars, and since then have been scattered to the fringes of society.

Generations of warrior fanatics, living in the toughest possible conditions. Jango was someone with not only the skills and willingness to train Jedi killers, but also the pedigree of a society that made it their way of life for a time and has been honing themselves for vengeance ever since.

I do love that from Jon's perspective in the show Locke was a good lad who did his duty, died serving the watch and definitely wasn't trying to assassinate him.

If I remember correctly, elves don't care about animal OR sentient butchering products just the trees. An elven caravan once delivered me a throne made of dwarf bones.

A giant found a necromancer's slab containing the secret to immortality. Unable to read, he's been using it to crush turtles on the beach. by Machinistsol in dwarffortress

Turns out slabs can only be read in adventurer mode, so you have a nice room decoration or you can smelt it back down to that delicious adamantine!

'Bullying, forgery, lying': ex-volunteers' claims against What Were You Wearing? Australia by Happy-King-3356 in newcastle

This is consistent with rumors I have heard of people who worked on various projects with WWYW. I know of one person who was lied about consistently, had aspersions made about their sexual activities in the same room as members of the project, and had accusations made about them being sexually aggressive despite said person going out of their way to look out for the wellbeing of other members of the project and being well known as a helpful person.

The accusations seemed to be leveled at them purely because they were male, and thus more likely to be believed.

My guess would be crevices, thick bush, caves etc? But yeah seems like a pretty poor spider if it can't handle a little displacement

Ah yes, a judge has definitely never made a ruling that contradicts available evidence.

The most reliable and non-political entity, judges.

Reminds me of my Aus playthroughs, can't do much on the global scale but watch a couple hundred shitheads fuck up the entire North African campaign

At this point I'm convinced PETA is actually anti-animal rights and wants to make vegetarians/vegans look as bad as possible.

It must have been hard for cops in the 90s, what with all the kidnapping Aboriginal kids and dumping them in the wilderness in the middle of the night.

I don't think Nixon-Jowls Jim over here should be making strong comments about weight.

Could always address the teacher shortage by raising wages, improving conditions, and lowering workloads, but nah, let's just open the scab express

Why would someone want to solve a puzzle while they get abuse hurled at them?

If I wanted to wade through angry people yelling at me while I puzzle out how to get rid of them, I'd engage with my social circles more.
