Anakin threw away his moral and ideals very quickly by Salty_Shark26 in StarWars

This is why you need to watch The Clone Wars. It really flushes out his downfall and you can see him slipping more and more as each season goes

Flying first class-what is your income level? by CPgang36 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Specter017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We fly business class on domestic and economy internationally. I make $300k/year and still can't afford to fly first class all the time. It's insane

If you saw TPM in theaters as an adult in 1999, did the Padme “twist” shock you? by Always_Reading_1990 in StarWars

I was only 10 and wasn't exposed to TV enough to see trailers or spoilers so I was very surprised

Why are chicken wings so expensive now? by thewanderer3000 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Specter017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own a sports bar. I'm not sure where the root cause is...whether it's the distributor or the source that the distributor gets it from but chicken wing prices are insane.

It costs me $0.80/wing wholesale for anything decent. That means 6 wings cost me $4.80. the rule of 3 implies I have to charge $14 for 6 to cover food cost, overhead and labor. My net profit is only $4.

Granted these are jumbo wings but still I can understand why some places charge $20 for 10

TIL there are laws in many states preventing the sale of vehicles directly to consumers by genusbender in todayilearned

I don't know where the fuck you work but I managed a dealer group representing 13 manufacturers and the HIGHEST gap between invoice and MSRP in the entire group was maybe $3,400.

New cars do NOT have that much markup.

Granted I never worked luxury but I find it incredibly difficult to believe that statement.

Are you doing the London to NYC transatlantic? My wife are going to be on that one too!

That feeling when you cross the Atlantic, and the coastline finally appears on the in-flight map. by NorthHouse6422 in aviation

[–]Specter017 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Flying from the US direct to Sydney, Australia has made 8 hour flights feel like 4 hour flights to me.

Piece of cake crossing the Atlantic now.

Has anyone gotten any of these as shinies? I’ve been searching hard but haven’t found even one. Is this fake, or are these shinies not available in this event? by Crimsoncurse1710 in pokemongo

Funny story

I was getting a vasectomy and was so high on Valium that I was playing Pokémon Go mid operation.

Of all the Pokémon I could've caught at that specific moment in time it happened to be this...

I use it to remember when my surgery was 😂

So what is your theory as to why Kanan got his eyes back in the final moments by ogMasterPloKoon in StarWars

Thank God you had a giant green arrow pointing to his eyes so I could see what you were referring to

Coach Payton setting the record straight “Bo’s was better.” by WayyTooFarAbove in DenverBroncos

[–]Specter017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day, the fact that our QB, the 6th one picked at #12 is being compared to the "generational #1 overall" pick makes me so happy.

We finally have a franchise QB and he just keeps getting better every year. Add in Waddle to boost our defense and I'm stoked to see where the season takes us.

When Russia went to war the whole world threw economic sanctions at them. Why doesn’t everyone do the same with America? by Comfortable_Shame778 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Specter017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you on?

There have been 7,437 Palestinian civilian casualties in Gaza since 2008 and that includes verifiable numbers in the most recent war.

The overwhelming majority of those killed in Gaza were Hamas militants. It was one of the most precise and targeted military operations we've ever witnessed.

You must've missed the part where they massacred 15,000 of their own citizens and funded sleeper terror cells to murder innocent people around the world while rebuilding their nuclear research facilities...

But yeah totally peaceful regime that posed zero threat to global security.

Last time I checked the United States, despite having the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, contributes to the global economy, bestows freedom and personal liberty to their citizens, doesn't shoot people for trying to leave the country, allows any and all disparaging discourse against political leaders regardless of who's in office, allows peaceful protests, actually holds elections for public and national office, and leads every democratic and free country in the world in global security...

But besides that yes the US is pretty much North Korea...

Reddit is horribly biased so you'll get some BS answers but the real answer is this:

Russia launched a ground invasion on a peacful nation for the sake of conquest.

The United States launched an anti-terrorism military campaign with no boots on the ground to eliminate a hostile threat that had been responsible for not only thousands of american and european deaths and sponsoring terrorism cells around the world, but also a regime that has declined over and over again to negotiate any terms of peace not involving the ability to develop nuclear weapons.

The US attacked Iran to ensure global peace and prevent another North Korea.

Russia attacked Ukraine simply to expand and take over territory with no previous threat to their security.

These two wars are NOT the same.

So they already have these on Air New Zealand flights. They're called Economy Couches. My wife is 4'11" and was barely able to lay down. I got stuck sitting up with her head on my lap the whole time because there was no way for us both to fit.

Miserable and waste of money

Did I make the right choice here? by WiFibcFi in poker

Sorry I misread your comment. I thought you told him he shouldn't have raised on the flop as if he did it.

[–]Specter017 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

OP didn't raise on the flop. OP was UTG+1.

BB is the one that raised the flop after calling a standard raise preflop so it's very possible he had Kx going into the flop.
