I wouldn’t trust Disney to do it well, honestly, especially with how they’ve rolled with Lucas’ idea that SW is for kids and dialed it up to 11. Let a lesser-known studio create it but with Disney money, and we might have a decent set of KOTOR films / series
Personally I would love a movie or mini-series - which leans heavily on the more graphic, grounded aspects of the EU - beginning with the Malachor V incident, showcasing the backstory and rise of both Darth Sion and Darth Nihilus - ultimately being found by Darth Traya and forming the Sith Triumvirate. I’d love an open-ending that shows Sion taking the Republic Vessel and arriving at Peragus, and a post-credits scene of Nihilus sending Visas Marr to hunt Meetra Surik.
I’d also love to see a series with Gungi set 100yrs or so after the OT in which he’d be restoring or expanding a new Galactic Jedi Order as a threat from the Void begins to destabilize the galaxy. Ideally he’d have the wisdom of Yoda (if not more) but without Yoda’s arrogance, given his coming-of-age during the CW and the GCW
Good? If they can’t adapt to these externalities, which will only increase, then more efficient plants / companies should take their places
I distinctly remember the same sentiment in 2015 and 2016. Don’t listen to what anything or anyone says. Just vote, and get people you know to vote, because Trump’s supporters certainly will.
Either you weren’t contributing for decades, or you literally only contributed $10-$20/mo for ~30 years. If your job provides a 401k option, with tax write-offs and everything else you should have been contributing a lot more to maximize its future utility. This is assuming your employer wasn’t even matching.
Either you aren’t telling us the full details, or you haven’t fully been contributing for decades.
I had some friends in Munich who were brothers, just two or three years apart. They both grew up learning British English, but one eventually participated in an exchange program in Canada while the other participated in one in Australia. When they came back, their English accents were completely different from each other - no matter how hard they tried to sound similar to each other. In the end, everyone though it was unique and kind of fun since one brother would sometimes use slang the other didn’t understand.
Point being, OP, is to do what feels natural. Ultimately, it’s your voice, but you’ll pick up certain things here and there that naturally change your way of speaking over time.
I think you underestimate how much energy most commercial offices / buildings use compared to a house.
In many Labor Economic Models, the distinction in Time is measured as Time spent working vs Time spent not working, in which the commute is factored. Many companies deal with people’s reluctance to commute by offering better pay or better benefits (if they’re seeking specific skillsets that are more difficult to find close by), but sometimes you find a gem like your company.
I know it would be difficult to implement for many companies, but I wish more companies did something like that when they could. The company I work for doesn’t pay for commutes from home, but will pay for them if you are temporarily relocated to a different office by calculating the distance between the two offices and average fuel price
Better get on it, then
And that’s okay! There are plenty of ways to use climate-friendly means of transportation if your area has the infrastructure for it. If it doesn’t, buying/utilizing used cars with good gas mileage and adjusting how much you drive, supporting climate-friendly legislation, and raising awareness are the best things you can do until biking/walking/etc. is more accessible for you - or until you can move to a high-density area with those options, if that’s the goal.
Electric cars are a great step forward, but currently lack the efficiency and affordability of ICE vehicles. Plus, they ultimately serve as a means to maintain the stability of the Auto industry in an increasingly environmentally-conscious society.
Who are you to say it means nothing - I find value in it, so I will share it. The point is to not judge someone at face-value because of the circumstances you are seeing them in. Everyone is going through something, so we should all try to help others when we can - just as we will need help with something eventually.
Maybe, maybe not. I can’t control what others do, but I can control what I do. I don’t want to enable someone, but I also know for some that money is exactly what is needed. So, I do my best to judge the situation and act accordingly.
Actually, yes. This is one of the best health plans I have used. It could be better, it could be cheaper, but I am more than pleased with it and had a few different options to choose from.
My boss told me something that will always stay with me. I’ve never known him to lie, so I have no reason not to believe him - but nevertheless this is still a personal anecdote.
Anyway, he told me that when he was a teenager, his family had gotten to a point where they moved out of a bad neighborhood and into a rather affluent one thanks to some luck from his parents. He said he went to the store one day and a homeless person was outside the store, asking for help getting back on his feet. My boss, being the asshole teenager he was, told the person to, “just get a job.”
He said the person humbled him immediately, and told him in a very respectful, but firm manner, that he lost his wife and son due a car wreck the year before - that he went bankrupt and eventually homeless paying for their medical bills while they lived, and for their funerals when they died.
My boss tells this story to our new-hires when he can. He typically says that all this person needed was for someone to believe in them and give them another chance, because no one truly helped them when they needed it most.
They can’t just ride it out?
Now do Mississippi and Alabama
He’s that one guy that works at Vance Refrigeration, I think
