  1. Yes, but dear leader won't lose any balls when he hits 18 hole-in-ones.
  2. Are they LEGO soldiers without knee joints? Sorry, just catching up on this thread.
  3. Scaled back because of budget issues? They spent gazillions building sets for the Ahdhani, Mon Mothma's house on Coruscent and mansion for the wedding, the entire Palmo plaza, senate building and other smaller spaces. The couldn't spare a few more million for CGI for a K2SO episode? Actually, I'm sure they didn't build the set for some of the interiors (stairs, ramps, etc.) at the senate building. I wonder where they shot those.
  4. Looking into my crystal ball... https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/05/05/congress/congress-fema-funding-00329662 Not saying the west coast won't potentially burn down or be struck by an earthquake. But the likelihood of that is lower than the gulf and SW states getting devastated from a hurricane.
  5. Oh yeah. That look has been perfected and the kids know to respond accordingly. So the boy hasn’t blown up since my original post. I’ve been doing slightly more with him during the week and a lot more on weekends. I kinda rib him a bit “see? I’m not always mean to you”. I get a side eye look from him, but he doesn’t sass back.
  6. She gone. I think it's also the last we see of Dedra, but hope I'm wrong. A few other thoughts. I hope we get more Partagaz. His comment to Dedra, something something "professional ascendency..." was perfect, I love his character. My patience is wearing thin with Wilmon. I admire that he's smooth, getting it on w/ the girls on MIa Rau and Ghorman, but his story sucks. I hope we get to see Perrin one more time. Him looking at Mon raving at the end of ep 3 left it unresolved. A redditor fan fiction was for Perrin to die helping Mon escape from Coruscant. That would have tied his character off nicely. The moment between Mon and Erskin at the end was really well done. You could see that he was completely devoted to her.
  7. Agree. Her voice is similar to Annie Lennox’s.
  8. Suppuku is performed by samurai as a code of honor. These people do not have honor.
  9. Jack Donaghy drinks Scotch Shitty black label, but still Scotch.
  10. Had a chat with one of the SVPs about my performance evaluation last week. Turns out one of the dings against me was because one of my direct reports did the EXACT OPPOSITE of what I (and others) told him to do.
  11. Assuming everyone who doesn't show up in R1, this leaves the following to survive the series: Ando Krennic Saw Mon Everyone else is gonna die. Get your shocked face ready.
  12. What did Williams do to become more competitive? I read they’re devoting their resources to the 2026 car. So the current car is basically the same as last year’s right?
  13. San Jose, CA? Or San Jose, Costa Rica?
  14. Took the kids bouldering and climbing (with rope) today. For whatever reason, my kids are good at it and always up for the challenge. There was one rock face where my daughter got to the top, albeit it took her a while. My boy climbed that like a mountain goat.
  15. To some teenagers, a hole is a hole. I was never that type of teenager. I was patiently waiting for a 10… Then I lowered my standards and ehh… 7s are okay too.
  16. Had my performance evaluation earlier this week. It was the lowest “grade” I’ve ever gotten in my career. I admit that there were some things that I could have done better, but my other contributions were mostly overlooked. When I brought it up and said “it’s on the right side of the page where I put it in my self assessment” my manager looked at it and said “oh” Having a direct report that regularly blew up at everyone didn’t help my cause. It’s been bugging me since. I’m not pissed, just kinda depressed at this point. My entire career I’ve gotten good to great reviews so this was a kick in the nuts. I have a lunch scheduled with one of the SVPs to get his take. Fuck it. Gonna drink some more Japanese whisky. BTW, Nikka From The Barrel is delicious and a steal at $60,
  17. I don’t think you understand the meaning of hot teacher.
  18. Errrr. Steak ums are dogs. Dogs are steak ums.
  19. I had the same thought when I saw a guy on an e-scooter on one of the freeways here.
  20. The Trader Joe’s green chili chicken is delicious, and I am rightfully surly that someone stole mine.
  21. Someone at my office has been stealing my food. I keep a stash of Trader Joe’s frozen food in the office freezer as a last resort. I had 10 minutes between meetings and went to the fridge. At least 2 of the items were gone. I mean, really?
