    i like that hux hasn't appeared in the preview.  maybe they'll jar jar him and make his role tiny in admission of how shitty he is.

    He was very embarrassed after his last outing.

    I like Alton Brown, but that guy could find a way to make boiling water a 10-step process.

    Well, first you have to determine what altitude you are at, then you have to determine not only why you should boil the water, but how the actual thermodynamics of boiling work.

    Pffft...He will refuse to debate her unless that race is within the margin of error and even then he might still refuse. 

    She needs to challenge him to a debate near Fort Campbell.  Granted, many may not be eligible to vote in Kentucky, but she needs to play up that aspect.

  4. Best comments I've seen so far (from io9):

    Both the Imperial Star Destroyers and weird Rey fuckery further lend credence to the hilarious RedLetterMedia theory that J.J. Abrams is injecting time travel into this. 

    And if he does, I am going to revel in the fact that 2 shlubs from Milwaukee called him out on his dumb-ass months in advance of the release.

    • The Millenium Falcon has the old version of a dish that was broken in Return of Jedi. This part was replaced with a different looking dish, but now it’s back to the original in the teaser.
    • Rey has Luke’s Lightsaber which was destroyed in the last film.
    • Palpatine is back, obvious conclusion is force ghost, but could be time travel.
    • “1,000 generations live in you now” line
    • J.J. Abrams fucking loves time travel and has used it in practically every major story he’s creatively controlled.

     

  5. Borger and Keene were two of the victims.

    "This attack has impacted normal City business and financial operations and services, however, the City has implemented its continuity of operation plans and the City continues to provide basic and emergency services (Police, Fire, 9-1-1, Animal Control, Water, Wastewater and Solid Waste Collection)," said officials from the City of Borger.

    "Currently, Vital Statistics (birth and death certificates) remains offline, and the City is unable to take utility or other payments.

    "Based on the current state of the forensic investigation, it appears that no customer credit card or other personal information on the City of Borger's systems have been compromised in this attack. No further information about the origins of the attack will be released until the completion of the investigation."

    The other city to have spoken out about the attack is Keene, the mayor of which said the hacker used island hopping, an increasingly popular method of cyber attack to breach the city's IT systems.

    "They got into our software provider, the guys who run our IT systems," said Keene Mayor Gary Heinrich to NPR. "A lot of folks in Texas use providers to do that, because we don't have a staff big enough to have IT in house."

    Heinrich added that many other targeted municipalities also use the same managed service provider (MSP).

    What are they standing on?

    Does the emperor return? Luke is resurrected as emperor? Someone is cloned?

    Probably a part of the Death Star that Palpy died on.   You don’t show the crashed Death Star in a trailer, hear Palpatine, and not somehow link the two.

    Do we have a bubble that I'm not aware of? We don't have a housing crisis/bailout to contend with this time. 

    It may not be the same as the 2000s, but throw out a few major rounds of layoffs, and a whole lot of people are going to be selling their houses in Austin.

    It still blows my mind how many people are basically living paycheck-to-paycheck.    I get it for poor people who are treading water, but not people who have homes that are hanging around their necks if they get laid off for even just a few months.  I've got a friend at SpiceWorks who has been sweating bullets and doing every single interview he can find..  As far as he knows, he's safe, but when those layoffs were announced, he flipped the fuck out.

    What are you doing to prepare?

    I've been passing out the number for my burner phone to quite a few Surly wives.

    Well fuck, I'd be doing that even if Trump wasn't intent on running the economy into the ground.

    Werner Herzog in Star Wars?? That’s so badass.

    Werner Herzog and Nick Nolte in a live-action Star Wars TV series.  And Giancarlo Esposito and Carl Weathers.  And Pedro Pascal.  And Bill Burr.

    Still trying to wrap my head around what we did to deserve this.
