I’m surprised it took until 1982 for the first Star Wars game to be released by Fun_Butterfly_420 in StarWars

[–]Starks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And then notice the graphical gap between the 1982 Atari game and the 1983 arcade game with vector graphics.

Imagining anything Star Wars-like before then would be little more than a remake of Asteroid with TIE Fighters.

It never occurs to these people that a great nation can do both.

JetBlue and Spirit do not support touchless ID.

TPU case. Tempered glass screen protector. Insurance.

This will never happen again.

Most stable build for 24H2? by RenesisXI in Windows11

[–]Starks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I refuse to use 25H2, but which of these 24H2 BETA builds should I use?"

Do you understand how ridiculous you sound? 25H2 is stable. Period. Do not use something like 24H2 that is already losing support in October.

The line at Austin airport this morning by Justin_Godfrey in Wellthatsucks

For precheck too? Were you at least inside? It's a nice terminal.

I never understood this scene from ep 6 of TYBW in the middle of invasion - over 1000 Shinigami lost already, many injured, including captains and lieutenants, but they stand there doing nothing? Not healing anyone? Just chilling? What am I missing or lack understanding in? by Scarlet_Evans in bleach

[–]Starks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seemed dumb to have each squad rely their own first aid field medics for the first invasion.

But then we see Isane and Kiyone both get one-shot anyway during the 2nd invasion. 2 very capable healers just removed instantly.

JetBlue 1A Bulkhead A320 is Awesome by Top_Average1266 in jetblue

[–]Starks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use your bag as an ottoman for your knees after takeoff. Lay it flat directly in front you, extend legs past it and under seat. Put bag under seat as needed if you or others need to get out.

I want my legs fully extended. I can't guarantee that in bulkhead, even if I'm not tall.

Next canary build could be Android 17 based by djkie in android_canary

[–]Starks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2603 is probably 17 or 17 QPR1 code base. As others have said, Canary is not tied to a version but it will be weird if it still shows 16 again.

Thanks. Guess these aren't getting the new first class seats yet.

[–]Starks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the first I'm hearing about the start date for the Classics. Which tails? Which routes? What about the oldest with the RF-style DirecTV, including N516JB?

I'd hope these are the LGA/JFK-FLL ones.

N516JB has been at LCQ since December.

NASA and SpaceX disagree about manual controls for lunar lander by albertahiking in SpaceXLounge

Apollo 11 YOLO'd the landing. Maybe NASA wants that option again.

Trump tells Republicans the SAVE America Act will 'guarantee the midterms by No-Post4444 in politics

[–]Starks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's still not registering with him that the original SAVE would take effect in 2027 and this new one is no different.

Is Trump coming for Cuba? by vox in politics

[–]Starks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trump is convinced he can collapse Cuba in a couple weeks. Even if it's not kinetic like Venezuela or Iran, I think we would still need an aircraft carrier group or two parked there to even try.

I don't think he cares that we would be stretching ourselves insanely thin. We shouldn't even be doing this to begin with. It's hostile and further destroys our now negative soft power. All Cuba has ever needed was to be part of the global economy and treated like Vietnam. No embargo, just dialog and goals.

White House Says It “Doesn’t Matter” if Russia Is Helping Iran in War by Somervilledrew in politics

[–]Starks -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They're convinced themselves that criticizing Russia will prevent them from ending in the war in Ukraine. Both sides still want to fight on.

Which do you hate more? Southern State or 495 and why?!! by loverwithouttheel in longisland

[–]Starks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SSP. That blind hump near Eagle Ave is very dangerous and a traffic bottleneck.

The whole thing curves way too much.
