At a distance they sound communist, but the rigid caste system and ruling class make it very authoritarian.

That's just the port side. The cables are just as fun, you have multiple levels of power delivery support, that generally don't include data. There are data cables, that may or may not support video. Thunderbolt cables support most everything. The highest charging speeds generally require dedicated cables. Assuming everything is standards compliant it shouldn't break anything to plug in the wrong cable to the wrong port.

First rule of rocketry, always assume it will explode.

Part of the caring is taking the time to understand the universe and how it works. Disney has repeatedly just done things "because plot" that have massive ramifications for the universe as a whole, which makes things not fit. You can't just make spaceships naval vessels and planes, even if that was their original inspiration, they've evolved to their own thing in universe. You can't just treat Jedi as space cops, because that's not really what they were ever intended to be, it's actually a pretty major plot point in the prequels that them taking a more active role in supporting the Republic led to their demise.

As another example, you could make a Witcher like story in Star wars, but you couldn't just make Geralt a Jedi and call it a day.

You realize pointing out how bad Trump was makes Biden even worse right? The fact random non sequitur appeared competent next to Biden was massive problem.

I'll get hate for it, but I honestly think Andor is a 6 or 7 out of ten that feels a lot better due to the absolute garbage that has been Disney Star wars. Andor has pacing issues and tons of characters that don't ultimately matter, but the good bits are really good.

Not every story belongs or fits in star wars though. Most of what Disney has done falls in this category, but TLJ and the acolyte are the worst offenders.

Rogue one is a terrible movie that ends with the best fan service battle of all time.

Star wars is best with writers and directors that respect the source material and tell a story within it rather than paint their story to look like Star wars.

It really depends on what you are comparing against. A temperature taken in direct sunlight at human height in a paved parking lot is going to be well over 10 degrees different than a grassy area shaded by a building. Even if they are adjacent areas. Proximity to a large body of water can easily change the temperature by 5-10 degrees.

A weather app is going to present a temperature that trys to average all of that for a fairly wide area.

There's still a shit load of work with drugs, and it's highly sport dependent, but I'd be shocked if there wasn't at least one top 10 Olympic athlete that used PEDs in the vast majority of sports. The most common would probably be things that speed up recovery time, especially from injury.

Movie production costs have exploded to a point it's a negligible difference to make a series. The extra time allows for a plot to develop more organically. It also allows for more tension as episodes allow an audience time to recover and process. Series also work better with subscription services.
