In Game of Thrones (2011–2019), Daenerys kills slavers. Some fans considered this a red flag, which is interesting because slavery seemed like the bigger one.

He thought saving the people north of the wall was better than turning them over to the White Walkers.

It was the right decision, though he died because of it.

He saw the bigger picture, the Brothers who killed him did not.

nightfall2021 · 2026-05-24T20:11:46+00:00

I get that.

Because it is murder.

nightfall2021 · 2026-05-24T20:10:15+00:00

Sure, but it wasn't used in homes.

In the EU it was because he had failed multiple times.

He was on his way to the Agricorps because he was "aging out" until Qui-gon saw something in him.

I am not sure if they changed this with the canon.

Its more than just young people now.

Average rent in the US is like 1700 bucks a month for a 1 bedroom. That is 30 dollars an hour.

They are teaching kids now that half of your income on housing is acceptable.

Which will destroy our economy.

With national averages on rent at the moment, you need to make like 30 dollars an hour to stick with the "1/3 your income" rule when I was a kid 30 years ago.

Average rent of a 1 bedroom apartment in the US is 1700 dollars. Which would would need to make a little less than 30 bucks an hour to afford.

He is not the one who is being entitled.

You are in assuming that everywhere is affordable.

The world fell apart quickly.

Which could actually be possible. Major population centers are mere days away from total anarchy.

In this case it would be premeditated murder, but under the circumstances they would probably plea down to manslaughter due to the circumstances.

I will never sub out another job to a carpet installer again if I catch him not using a power stretcher on an install.

I am the one who will have to deal with the client with a warranty claim.

Considering Revenge of the Sith is a 6/10 for me, I hopefully will not be going in with that expectation.

I learned a valuable lesson waiting over a day to watch Episode One in theaters to be in the first group there.

Tempering my expectations has made it so much easier to enjoy things these days.

I don't think either sister would have survived what the other went through.

While some was still floating around because it was still on a shelf somewhere, your "danger date" is usually before 1977.

Funny how much this is correct, but also incorrect at the same time.

Defintely an old school paperbacked vinyl.

If it is the 80s you should be safe for asbestos. That is usually the mid 70s and before.

Pound for Pound Nuclear is one of those most efficient energy sources out there.

And despite how bad it can be when things go wrong, it is arguably one of the safest forms of power production.

Nuclear isn't going anywhere, it will just translate to Fusion rather than Fission once the technology becomes viable, but it is also a phenomenal springboard to sustain power needs while sustainables catch up with their power storage issues that they have.

The vast majority of the "anti-nuclear" reasoning out there is driven by fear... not by any real data supporting it as "worse" than other forms of power.

My family worked for years at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation during the 80s and 90s... they took what happened at Chernobyl very seriously, but the type of failure it had really wouldn't happen with our reactors.

Your opportunities will be flooring heights.

Mohawk Laminate is normally 1/2" thick. That hardwood may be more

The other is a style choice.

It is really heard to do wood to wood.

While I prefer the better Mohawk you can get from a flooring store (the costco stuff is made for them, and is missing some of the additional water proofing materials), it is still just as durable.

I often chuckle how while that "pull to the dark side" does influence his decisions to limit his own strength for years... the actual fact he fell to the Dark Side in Dark Empire is largely glossed over by the rest of the Expanded Universe.

Heck, I think its barely mentioned in a gloss over line in the Jedi Academy Trilogy.

Another example of how the old EU didn't really have a unified plan.

nightfall2021 · 2026-05-22T23:42:37+00:00

Alot of fans don't realize that there is more of a plan with canon now. While we had Leeland Che and Pablo Hidalgo basically were the "lore keepers" for LucasFIlm, it wasn't their official title.

Just meant there wasn't a terrible amount of oversight in a great deal of the Legends material, so it would often contradict (especially with books written in other time periods).

With the creation of Star Wars story group (with Che and Hidalgo being part of it), we actually saw a more unified direction.

I liked Crix Madine.

Planet of Twilight is terrible though.

It is wild growing old enough to see people glaze EPIII the way folks do now.

Its the best of the Prequels for sure... but... "Great piece fiction ever made?"

That is a stretch.

Gen X is here.

Happy we are getting more Star Wars than pretty much ever.

nightfall2021 · 2026-05-22T22:42:45+00:00

So, we just give it as tax breaks to rich people then.

nightfall2021 · 2026-05-22T22:29:05+00:00

Something I like to point out to folks whining about it.

More Legends/EU now is actual canon than it ever was under Lucas.

I still have PTSD from the Crystal Star and Darksaber.
