Well, in the early days there did exist computers that used 6, 7, 9 bit bytes until the 8-bit byte, 16-bit word, 32-bit double word became the norm (though I think the size of word and double word still vary).
I trust Molly on this, seeing how she’s a computer and all now.
I suspect they might even open it with a scene depicting Hux delivering Kylo to Snoke.
I could have sworn Rian said that the first scene would pick up exactly where TFA left off.
This movie is going to start right where the last one left off.
Could be interpreted however you like. Also, we’re 11 months away, the edit could change a lot. Rogue One was a completely different movie at this point last year.
Well I think you’re a good guy and I think you are capable of living a much better life than you currently are.
Agreed!
Doubled up.
Respect to Possessed, as well.
Agreed!
Doubled up.
Respect to Tyrphanax, as well.
Trump is again claiming widespread voter fraud. He’s nuts.
It was sad before, but it’s getting pathetic at this point. You won, dude, let it go!
I had to have someone point it out to me, but you’d think if Hillary was able to get 4-5 million people to commit voter fraud, you’d think she’d do it in states that she wouldn’t have won otherwise. What a waste of what is apparently the perfect scheme since there’s no evidence of it having ever happened!
Yeah, Colonial Marines should have ended with a consumer lawsuit.
No one can change it (even moderators AFAIK) until there is a forum update.
I miss that. The whole (Formally Known As The “Whatever Thread”) were some of my favorite jokes.
I also miss the Ignore function.

The global gag rule goes much further than simply banning US foreign aid from paying for abortions directly — which is already the law, and which has its own detrimental consequences for women.
Instead, the gag rule tries to control how international organizations use their own funds, raised from other sources. Just like Republican efforts to defund Planned Parenthood in the United States, it’s an attempt to stop abortion from happening by forcing organizations that provide it to make a choice: stop providing or promoting abortion, or lose the large amounts of funding that you get from the US government to support your other medical services.
The reality is simple and brutal. Reinstating the global gag rule will not reduce abortions. Sub-Saharan Africa, for instance, had higher abortion rates after George W. Bush reinstated the gag rule, because it reduced women’s access to contraception and caused more unwanted pregnancies, which women then chose to terminate.
The gag rule will, however, lead to more women dying across the developing world. Marie Stopes International, a major global family planning organization, estimates that without alternative funding, the loss of its services alone will cause 6.5 million unintended pregnancies, 2.2 million abortions, 2.1 million unsafe abortions, and 21,700 maternal deaths just in Trump’s first term, from 2017 to 2020. The organization says it will also be prevented from reaching 1.5 million women with contraception every year.
Studies conducted by PAI have shown that every time the global gag rule returns, more women in developing countries bear unwanted pregnancies, die or become disabled due to unsafe abortions, or lose crucial medical care.
So much for respecting life.
Directed at personal use of one’s body ONLY, taking precautions or abstinence is every persons right and responsibility if they could not afford the possible outcome. In cases of medical necessity (life/death of fetus/mother) or sexual assault/attack, I would think they’d be wise enough to allow it. I’m not them nor am I privy to the actual details of all this gag rule encompasses so this is just my opinion based on information I know of.
If any organization mentions the word “abortion”, they can no longer have any American government funding, even for contraception. There is no wisdom to any of this. You can’t expect the entire third world to stop having sex because they can’t get condoms anymore.
You mean they cannot abstain? They must have sex constantly to survive like breathing air? They shouldn’t need American funding to take care of their own country should they? Those countries cannot raise the money themselves and/or find better ways to educate their populations on their own?
So we can be the world’s police, but not the world’s health advocates?
Pence did something similar in my state and we had an AIDS EPIDEMIC. IN INDIANA. Can you IMAGINE what it’s like in Africa?
JEDIT: Ok, it was HIV, and it was due to closing down drug rehabilitation centers. Still, I’m sure that some of the organizations that mention the word “abortion” also provide rehabilitation.

La La Land tied All About Eve and Titanic for most Oscar nominations ever.

But no one cares about women more than him!
Do you have an Alamo Drafthouse by you? They explicitly say people get one warning and then they’re booted out. Even better, you just write it on an order card, so you don’t have to leave your seat and no one knows it was you who REPORTED it.
No, and my friend doesn’t either. I went to a couple when I visited Austin, it was incredible, even if the movies weren’t.
I KNEW IT:

It’s simple and to the point, I like it.
And at this point, there’s 1000 Legends titles and 100 canon titles, plus an infinite number of fan titles, so there is nothing new under the sun.

“The Last Jedi”
That’s a good guess!
Devil’s advocate: it’s a silly sign, but it’s also supposed to be a joke. And, like most jokes, there’s some truth behind the intent. Which is to say, obviously women have far more rights than guns (don’t think anyone doesn’t literally think that), what they’re trying to say is that they wish protecting women’s rights were as important to politicians as protecting “gun’s rights” (preventing gun control).
I still don’t agree with the premise that women’s rights are under attack in the United States.
Looks like over 3 million women disagree with you, and since they’re women, I trust they know the issue more than you do.
Well, 60,000,000 people disagree with you on Donald Trump. See how that’s not a convincing argument?
Yes, but I can acknowledge that some people agree with Trump.

I’m just wondering if Frink has some pop song from four years ago in there that isn’t relevant anymore.
looks at the calendar
I see at least 52 times that song is relevant every single year.
Hmm, well, I guess I need to continue with 3D Clone Wars. I stopped somewhere in season 2.
I stopped somewhere in Season 3, but when I picked it back up I was very impressed. There are some arcs that are just amazing.
Split - 7/10
Decent flick, but my enjoyment was significantly dampened by the crowd. 8 people got kicked out, including a guy who was getting blown, and the girl who was blowing him.
Some friends of mine got a babysitter to see Split (which they never do), left about 10 minutes into it because literally everyone else was on their phone. The girl next to them was just watching YouTube. They got their money back and the manager said this is just what happens during movies like this.
I don’t understand why people would spend $12 to do what they were doing on their couch but in public. That’s both a comment on playing with your phone and playing with your boyfriend.
An animated show from most of the creative team from the movies, sure.
I can’t imagine any blockbusters these days getting finished in 2K, let alone a Star Wars film.
Most movies are finished and screened in 2k. It’s crazy.
Gonna be a lot of upset Perry King fans here tomorrow. <_<
More like upset Brock Peters fans.

Laptop is in hand, the hanger is being assembled.
Also, RotJ is going to be started immediately, and at top priority. The PT will all be worked at the same time, but after Jedi and ANHRHD are done. This should please a lot of you.
The Wampa looks amazing, Adywan. My apologies if this has already been covered, but do we know specifically which shots will be replaced with the new Wampa? Will the growling closeup of the Wampa be replaced with this one? Because Ady’s version looks to be based pretty closely on that one. Or will only the full body shots of the very different looking Wampas be replaced with this one? In which case, how will it be filmed, exactly? Will it be superimposed on the full body shots, or will it be filmed in snowy backgrounds with a full fur suit?
Again, sorry if this has already been discussed.
All SE shots gone but the arm added to one shot, all the original shots replaced with this mask/puppet.
