Your writing lacks subtlety! You can't just announce how your characters feel!

That makes me feel angry!

Oh please. This is reserved for people who have no one to mourn them when they die. There are, unfortunately, a ton of rich, authoritarian, imperialist shit heads who probably miss her.

I would like to know what setup can transfer 8K wirelessly without issues.

Give anyone a ton of money and power and eventually they will turn into a sociopath. "Anyone" includes autistic people. We are not magical fairies immune to the basics of human corruption.

"Could", "May", "Might"; all fancy words for "Never gonna fucking happen"

Concrete is really good at blocking radiation, which tends to be a little important to do in space.

Ehhh. Aircraft seat rails are pretty freaking durable and the way seats attach to them are generally extremely secure. I wouldnt be surprised if the floor ripped away before the seat.

The 18-29 crowd makes up less than 10% of current early/voting figures. Doesn't matter too much how Trump or Kamala is polling with the younger generation, because just like every election in the past, the younger generation doesn't show up to vote.

I mean, it might have made sense if it lined up with the equatorial channel that the death star has. If the inside was exploding and that was the weakest area, material would be ejected out the ring first before the rest of the structure exploded. That might, indeed cause a ring effect. But in this scene the ring is going vertically, not horizontally. So yea, doesn't make much sense.

Not true everywhere. Many buildings, especially industrial, require a flush of the fire suppression system annually or biannually to test that everything is still functional.

The small, inert lump of metal? No, it's fine. 9 times out of 10, you're going to do more damage trying to dig the bullet out rather than just patching things up. Even surgeons will sometimes leave bullets in if it's in a dangerous/tricky spot.

 

I'm moving across the country in a few weeks and am trying to plan my route as I'll be driving a moving van with a car towed behind it. The entire drive will be 16-17 hours.

Google maps seems limited for searching everything I'd want to take into account for the route (pull through gas stations, height requirements, avoiding mountain highways, etc.) and was wondering if anyone knew of a better way to plan out the trip?
