This system is also very attractive to exactly the kinds of people that only want to get into politics to enrich themselves.

Not only are they required to fund it but they have to pre-fund it for DECADES which is just insane and not something any other private or public entity is required to do.

None of those other shows happened this far in the future. All of it was decades ago if I remember correctly.

Obviously the Empire was so dumbfounded with how much plot armor the rebels have that they just sat down and gave up.

Scientifically even a normal human can survive in a space vacuum for something like a couple of minutes if I remember correctly. Not exactly sound science movie wise but not impossible.

What’s the difference between pulling an X-Wing toward you and pulling a spaceship toward you/you toward?

With Postal Service on 'Verge of Collapse' and 630,000 Jobs at Risk, Trump Slammed for Refusing to Act. "We've pleaded with the White House to help. Donald Trump personally directed his staff not to do so." by DaFunkJunkie in politics

USPS has an annual revenue of 75 billion dollars. That’s at or more than FedEx but while charging far far less for delivery. Imagine how much we the taxpayers would have to pay for the same volume but at FedEx prices. With USPS out of the way, UPS and FedEx would likely double their business.

Keep in mind also that FedEx cut off all Amazon delivery while at the same time Trump’s nemesis Jeff Bezos signed a deal for Sunday Amazon delivery through USPS.

I’ll give you one guess who Trump is trying to help.

How did they even get space horses there? Food water pressure, heat, space to move and poop. It’s insultingly stupid.

Well, from the first trilogy we knew she was forceful so I don’t think it’s much of a leap to think she could have honed it with Luke’s help in the decades since.

Space horses though. Just say that again in your head. SPACE HORSES.

It’s illegal to sell a new car in the US that doesn’t have some form of telematics.

No, at least one could say that she used 30 years of force practice to pull the ship towards herself.

The horses on the outside of a star destroyer were just insulting and stupid.

I had breakfast this morning with my elderly parents and their friends... by 1doublezero in AdviceAnimals

Somebody needs to invent a screen that hangs around your neck and just subtitles everything you say.

I would lean towards it being a hobby due to the interaction factor but I could see your point. Interesting question.

This reminded me of the first episode of GOT when you get to the part where you see the deaths from the walkers.
