Star wars fans hate TFA for reasons that elude me.

I'm with you, TFA was cool. I wanted to know more about the knights of Ren. Kylo was interesting, here is a villain who is struggling with using the dark side, but is trying to commit to it. That's something we don't see ever. Finn was a neat character, and another new perspective.

I think the Rey hatred is actually misogyny. People don't lose their minds that Luke is best fighter pilot in the rebellion, but Rey uses the force in the "wrong" way and she's an unredeemable Mary Sue. I'm not one to cry discrimination, but the amount of venom targeted at the character implies something deeper.

I too gave up after TLJ, it seemed designed to make me stop caring about star wars.

Stargate is one of the strangest and best sci-fi TV series.

It starts with humans just losing all of the time and a tone that is too serious for its content. As the show goes on there are episodes where everyone where there is a fake TV show of SG-1 and the villains are actively afraid of the US military.

Anything that you can grind yourself buy whole.

It really doesn't take long to grind a tsp of cumin, and the seeds stay fresh so much longer than the powder. And if the seeds start to lose their punch just toast 'em.

Get a bigger mortar then you think too. You'll read about making pesto, or guac, or lots of Thai dishes, and wonder if it real does taste better. Sadly it does and you'll regret your small mortar every time you make guacamole.

May I suggest a 3D printer and set of speed paints?

There is something awesome about being able to print up and paint the exact monster before the session.

It's a whole new world of terrain and tiles you don't bother using half the time.

I know I should be hyped about space, but I read better train control and don't have the capacity to care about space.

I always wonder if Iggy Pop asked to be on Star Trek or if someone called in a favor.

Jeffrey Combs is the result of those aliens from "the Chase".

No. That is simply untrue.

First, if you feel Bernie and Trump are both populists then that term means absolutely nothing.

Second, people don't go "I like this guy because he wants to tax the rich, have universal healthcare and wants to go regulations to help stop climate change," and then when that guy loses think "this other guy who acts nothing like the candidate I supported and has literally the opposite policies might hear me so I'm all in on him!"

This is a fiction made up to push to narrative that it isn't foreign propaganda.

Give it another shot. It was legitimately cancelled too soon.

And if you watch it you'll feel your dream come alive at last, you will touch the sky. And they're not going to hold you down no more, no, they're not gonna change your mind. Because you'll have faith of the heart, strength of the soul.

I'm bugged by decontamination gel.

Why is it so randomly used? Why doesn't Shran have to use it ever? Did Phlox have to rub it on all of his animals? What's in it?

You going to prison soft?

Gotta be hard and ready to go. I'm not locked in there with other guys, they are locked in there with my throbbing member. If you don't get treated for priapism you ain't nothing but a jamf.
