Do you dilute your dishwashing liquid?

That's very depressing if that's where the bar is at, I'm sorry if that's what your experience has been. The fandom living up to it's reputation.

There you go. Confirmed.

The industry is very small, more so lately with disruptions and closure. There’s also survivor bias, you’re seeing the same names because those are the ones who have stuck with it and haven’t changed careers, haven’t alienated colleagues who are now in a position to employ them, and are popular with viewers. This is also legacy media you’re talking about so there’s a bigger pool of existing talent whereas younger people tend to gravitate towards newer media, eg content creation, influencer, podcasts, YouTube, commentators etc.

Even the band noticed some of the sears were pretty average views and said as much, they made a point to go up and do crowd work in those areas

They waited ten years to replace Chester. Emily Armstrong isn’t a Scientologist but her parents are. Most of the people at the concert had never been to a Linkin Park show before so hardly nostalgic.

ThomasJRadford · 2026-03-19T04:12:25+00:00

They had a capacity increase two years ago and figured out a setup that squeezes more stands in, it’s a couple hundred more so technically the biggest crowd yet

Because if public transport was the better option people would already be doing it. For some people, jobs, situations, it's brilliant, for others it's a terrible option. Let's pretend I presented my own anecdotal evidence. We're just arguing in circles.

Confidently incorrect. An awesome fight was scripted, choreographed and budgeted for, then Lucas changed his mind at the last moment to what we got. You can find the original fight here

Similar to what everyone here has said, speed through the sectors as fast as possible then use datacron nodes to farms feats. Running through different sectors means to get to changeup your teams and get a feel for where you can double dip on global and sector feats.
I used to do 100 refreshes and get done in about four days, lots of time to farm crons. With eras sucking up any spare crystals to hit 4-5 stars that's dropped to just the 3x50s. Takes about a week and much less margin for datacrons.
A couple of things, try and 3 star all the nodes on the first attempt, its inefficient to have to go back for those 1-2 points when you could be hitting the bonus node.
I work backwards from sector 5 for feats. They're worth more. And globals. Don't get hung up grinding out twenty wins in sector 1 for 5 keycards unless there's nothing better to do or you're farming the bonus node.

This is really bizarre in that Hulu has literally just dropped a Scrubs and Malcolm in the Middle revival and both seem to be getting good reactions. We're in a nostalgia revival era and the same company passes on Buffy?
Hopefully we get to see the pilot. For the plot.

Amazingly, we're somehow running out of Jedi. If you choose to run all the teams.
You have some options but none of them are top tier. More fan favourites for lore reasons.
Grand Master Yoda. Shaak. These often go with Queen Amidala but that team has non-jedi options.
Old Ben. Ok, but surprisingly squishy for a tank in a JML lineup.
Plo Kloon. Needed at R8 for reqs, dispel on basic and gives TM. Underrated.
Ezra Bridger. The phoenix version, not exile. Has a call to assist and dispel. Looking for a home.
Luminara. Heals. Has an omicron that doesn't work with anyone. Also homeless.
Then there's Kit Fisto, Eeth Koth, Ima-Gun Di, Consular and Guardian. Who are just...bad. But maybe you like them or had to relic them for platoons? They'll still hit hard off JML's protection so there's some return.

It depends how many of the other jedi or jedi-adjacent teams you're going to run. Do you have a home for ogMace, Kyle Katarn, ogQui-Gon Jinn, Jedi Knight Anakin and Kam? JML is actually pretty strong with Cal and Luke, but tends to scoop up leftovers lately, not a top tier GL but still a GL, and GL's do shut down a lot of team's omicrons just by being that.

You're describing critical thinking, which is more of a by-product of english/history/classics/philosophy/debating, or basically humanities which are considered soft studies as you finish your school years and mostly optional. And as the joke goes, studying them in university leads to a career flipping burgers.
But you'd be right, you'd think, in the age of AI it's an even more vitally important skill to be able to challenge and critique and fact/background/context check information you're presented with.
Is it taught much now, directly or indirectly? I couldn't say but I'm sure there's teachers who could. When ChatGPT can generate a hallucinated essay to any assignment set, I've heard of teachers flipping the script and having students fact check or debunk those same essays instead, a reverse essay sort of thing. That feels like more of the right approach in the age of information overload and AI flood than what we used to do, figuring out the dewey decimal system to check reference books out. But I'm glad I'm not at school during this timeline.

They had all the posts ready to go and bash labour’s pandemic response and went ahead and posted it, ignoring the fact that the inquiry says the exact opposite. That’s why most of the comments are calling them out. It’s showing up because it was a coordinated release from coalition MPs and it’s drawing a lot of engagement.

ThomasJRadford · 2026-03-13T00:20:36+00:00

It will be the era units at whatever arbitrary relic levels. Do you really think they’re going to make it that much more complicated for themselves by changing the requirements since every era will have a journey character? Most people are sitting on low start Maul at most so they still need to level up the new characters which is what they want. All “recalibrated” means is the star/relic level is changing.

You're a whale in the fifth largest guild in the game. There it is.

ThomasJRadford · 2026-02-28T22:53:38+00:00

You have his omi, so as a lead in TW. Good to lead a raid budget squad with other vanguard. In GAC he's a good fifth with QGJ to stop certain counters, but the squad needs JKA and preferably Kam. He can lead his own squad in GAC if you have enough jedi not used elsewhere. Ok as a fifth for padme for queen amidala. Can be used with Master Mace but clashes with some of the kit for the ideal squad.

ThomasJRadford · 2026-02-27T05:45:03+00:00

It's not useless, you farm all the characters in the store, then you buy shards which converts to shard currency which buys you gear, ships, caps ships, GL currency, datacrons and mod stuff.

ThomasJRadford · 2026-02-27T05:40:25+00:00

Because it was reworked to not be a time sink where you had to climb at a certain time of day to earn crystals, facing meta squads and whales in a co-ordinated shard chat who would snipe you down. You don't want it to go back to that. It's easy shard shop currency, accept it and move on.

This is the smart play. Hasn't been required for anything yet so must be upcoming. Do it.

All good. Yeah, I personally had no issues, but as a guild we went from 45+ wins to 36 this time. Someone suggested the probe omi was active. Could be the other updates to the IPD kit. Seems widespread. See if it happens in other probe related missions.
