Since the folks who lurk on this thread will probably be more amused by this then if I tucked it in the funny things thread.. First Order - After Action Review for Operations on Jakku

You should never let fine details get in the way of a momentarily amusing joke..

Because this is how American media seems to come across to the rest of us... (Some NSFW language..) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTLw81kxtOs

Now that could make an exercise routine... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U70GohW7ZCU

But considering the hardbacks.. the weight issue might have been a problem...

Rather than restart up a reading thread just for this. While on one hand I'm impressed with this, I think I would prefer something to use for more books....

You aren't alone. And I suspect their "metrics" on the matter are the real reason they are pushing another overhaul of crew skills (and crafting) less than four months after the whole system was revised. The thing is, I did enjoy the first 10 chapters. It was nice, it did put me in mind of Kotor more than anything. Although the fact that it was mostly streamlined flashpoints more than some hub with multiple story related quests to do was disappointing. But yes, that whole end of chapter 10 and the Alliance grind and Star Fortress grind... That puts a distinct damper on it.

Well I finally got around to making sure all my Alliance specialists were at influence rank 20 before the next chapter comes out. Although I have to say, I can't seem to stir up my enthusiasm just yet to actually start any of my other characters onto the Knights of the Fallen Empire content...

On that whole Australian University giving a PhD to a thesis on anti-vaccination.... Brian Martin and Judy Wilyman - Promoting Antivaccine Psuedoscience as dissent

Dear Cancer

BBC - Alan Rickman Dies

Oh I had fun with it. It was silly and had some plot issues, but it had that.. over the top, entertainment value. I can see that argument put forth that in many ways a lot of the big blockbuster action movies are like teenage boys personal fanfics, while Jupiter Ascending comes across more as a teenage girls idea of action blockbuster fanfic.

A comment someone made about a movie I believe I shall always treasure..
