Have you read Darths and Droids? It’s a webcomic using the plot of the movies as if they are a RPG season.

R2D2 is a min maxer player who put all their stats into hacking and in intelligence. So strength 1 dexterity 1 charisma 1 etc.

More then 3 planets.

The Hector cinematic universe.

Fair

Springtime for Hitler. Somewhat fits. It’s an intentional failure that succeeded.

Popular boondoggle is a term we used to use at work. I’ve never herd it used outside that job though.

Sunk cost fallacy is when you use previous expenditures to justify new expenditures so as not to “waste” the previous expenditure. It doesn’t imply the idea gets more popular like op is looking for.

Gums like guar and xanth. In small amounts they make ice cream better and help keep ice crystals small. I use them in my homemade ice cream.

Used in larger amounts they replace fat at the cost of taste and mouth feel. That’s what makes the ice cream stay a gel at room temp.

Longest is 2,700 for a bad review. Oxygen Not Included. The hours come from a combination of things.

I bought it on a whim the first week of early access so years of on and off playing. Mid game gets super slow and with a stable base there is little danger. So que up some dig, sweep, or build orders and go to bed. 20 minutes of play for 20 hours of run time.

Then the game starts to have problems with performance so sort the junk and fill the world with plastic to simplify calculations.

Then there is the runtime I used running a mod that generated a world checked it’s stats and sent the info to a map database.

I’ve got some serious time in games I gave bad reviews to. In part because I often get interrupted pause the game and don’t get back to it until the next day.

Honestly it’s better but still a mess of design choices. For open source graphics editor check out Krita.

We have a conservative party and a very conservative party.

It’s a famous quote. The contradiction is intentional. It means democracy has a lot of problems and often looks terrible. However when you step back and consider the alternatives they are worse.

That man should have been a DP. He is so good at visuals but can’t handle a story better then a 5 year old.

It’s not a hierarchy. They protect different things.

For trademark they try to determine if a normal person could confuse it for an existing trademark. So a drink called cocaKola with white lettering on a red background isn’t going to get protection. You could easily think you are buying a Coke but you are not.

You register to help get your origin date on record. Being first is super important in a trademark dispute. It also helps to show that a infringer should have known about your trademark because it was registered.

Patent means you can’t take my idea and use it without my permission no matter what you call it. Patent pending means we asked for a patent but don’t have it yet. If you copy our idea and we get the patent we can come after you.

It’s not a hierarchy of enforcability but they grant different protections for different lengths of time.

So trademark is you can’t call your soda Coke forever if they maintain trademark. But you can make a different identical tasting soda with a different name.

Copyright means you can’t make a copy of Harry Potter until the copyright ends 70 years after the author dies. You can however make your own story about a boy who goes to wizard school and fights a previously defeated evil.

Patent gives you the most protection because they protect the idea but only last up to 20 years depending on the type. So the RISC patent meant you couldn’t make a computer with fewer instructions allowing it to go faster until it expired.

In addition to what you said fiber is an important part of poop. An not just as stuff to push through the tract.

A important function of the liver is body detox. One way the liver does that is to package chemicals so they bind to fiber and get flushed out of the system. Lack of fiber can cause those chemicals to stick around and cause more problems.

This isn’t correct. Even when someone who has lost weight hits caloric balance they stay hungry. Fat cells produce hunger signals when it’s at lower than it’s previous stored energy levels.

It takes several years for fat cells to adapt to the new normal and not try to reach their previous levels.

Some people can see classified systems and some can’t.

We should have totally called it a unit test.

So the area for this was used for both training of soldiers and demos for people without security clearances. So it frequently had to be switched between the two. So you get everything setup and ready.

As a last test you drop the unit in and blam it. Then you go to each system and check the unit status. If it’s ok you are good to demo to civilians.

A unit test wouldn’t work because it’s a deployment situation and a lot the software wasn’t under our control. A lot of time it was just making sure the DIS HLA gateway was properly configured and entities remapped.

Yup. I had an infestation thar took months to get rid of. Turns out they were in an old bag of dried peppers.
