The new EU is actually better about this than the old EU. By the time A New Hope starts, there are just four surviving members of the Jedi Order; Yoda, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, and Ezra. Ahsoka is thought to be dead and went to ground even better than Yoda and Obi after Malachor, and Ezra is in another galaxy. Ahsoka also isn’t a Jedi anymore and is developing a distinct philosophy.

They’re also banking on having been wrong about the Chosen One, believing it’s one of the twins instead of Anakin. That they misinterpretted the prophecy completely is, of course, out of the question.

Yoda actually did have contact with both Kanan and Ezra a few times. It’s quite possible that he sensed Kanan’s death and was aware Ezra was out of the galaxy.

NT was a fully seperate product from 95 and 98, using a different kernel. 95 -> 98 -> Me was the old kernel, NT -> 2000 -> XP -> Vista -> 7 -> 8 -> 10 -> 11 is the other line. Me was a play on Millenium Edition, so that line was just numbered by year. The NT series names are a bit wonky, though. The reason for skipping 9 involves legacy program support and bad coding practices from ye olde programmers. 7 was kind of an arbitrary number to begin with, though.

Dude, a massive chunk of this website is in favor of complete legalization. While I am also assuming their position on drugs, given where we’re at, my assumption is much more likely to be correct.

Gwen Stacey died of whiplash when Spidey tried to catch her with a web shot and she stopped too fast, snapping her neck.

I don’t think it’s for wheelchairs. If it was, the corner of the table wouldn’t be cut off. I mean, where would that person put their food? I think it’s probably to get more room to maneuver between tables.

Pineapples are compound berries.

Honestly, the mouse charger screams marketing or management. Apple’s brand is partially form over function.

As much as I hate the GOP, Puerto Rico has never attempted to apply for statehood. Their referendums on the subject have never shown a large enough amount of support for them to try a real vote. They’re typically around a 50-50 split.

A lot of them don’t know that Puerto Ricans are Americans. So, add xenophobia to the racism.

Ah, but you forget, the sweater makes them look hella cute. Just think of all the dates they will score!

Technically, I think the base counts as US territory as far as citizenship-from-birth goes, but I could be wrong.

The big one for people born abroad is if one of their parents is a citizen at the time of their birth. If you’re an American citizen, go to France for college, and have a kid with a French citizen while you’re there, the kid will have both American and French citizenship.

And then you have horses, which originated there, migrated to Eurasia, went extinct in the Americas, and then were reintrouduced thousands of years later.

I feel like someone was trying to do that with the 3e sorcerer and got either badly out-voted or overruled by someone higher up.

I wouldn’t have either. At least partially because I have no idea what scales have to do with books.

Humanity is superior!

Have you tried a shirt with, “You’re the bomb!” on it?

I just wish the cap on the stick lasted longer. That rubber dome wore down very fast for me on both of mine.

It’s not like they built the car, though.

Just stick 'em in one of those paint shakers they have in hardware stores.
