Ah, nice one - thanks for the explanation mate 😃

How does one seek a royal prerogative of mercy? Asking for a friend.

a substantial donation to the political party in power at the time (or family member of high ranking politician) usually does it mate 😉

I thought Elizabeth was above that! Maybe the problem is she is merely a figurehead? If so, maybe you all should consider giving her more power.

Liz may be - though she is just a figure head in reality.

Strangely enough I myself may be able to help your ‘friend’ - for I am a Nigerian Prince in exile am a cousin of a high ranking politician - whose party are currently in power. Just send £400,000 via paypal (mark it a gift 😉) and say no more…

I just got to googling whether Meghan Markle might ever become your queen. No definite answer but sounds plausible. If all goes well with the lotteries tonight or tomorrow night, the money will be headed your way. Let’s not tell Jay about this.

Meghan Markle won’t become a Princess (and therefore unlikely to become a Queen) - like the late Lady Diana Spencer was never officially Princess Diana - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-42150762.

It’s all weird the whole Royal thing - though there’s likely some 1000 year old precedent somewhere in which it could happen - or a King Ralph style situation 😃

I’m not sure why everybody has such strong feelings about the punctuation on that sign.

It’s like a statement is being made.

Or maybe not?

https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/4953/position-of-question-mark-when-sentence-doesnt-end-with-question

The sentence in the original question ends with a subordinate clause that does not, by itself, ask a question (“within which we can leverage our existing knowledge”). This is modifying a noun phrase that is part of the question (“set of simple computational rules”). Therefore, this subordinate clause is part of the original question, and should end with a question mark.

Putting all of this together, I would punctuate the sentence like this:

“The question nagging me is, To what extent can we encapsulate all what we observe in nature into a set of simple computational rules, within which we can leverage our existing knowledge?”

No, mate.

Everything’s too wide. I don’t like it.

a pair of these will help the transition mate 😉

If only there was a section of the site for discussing Star Wars - instead of in here, a ‘A place to chat about things other than Star Wars’…

“George Lucas had the idea that all the planets of the Alderaan system were united under one government, with Alderaan serving as the capital.”

That’s a paraphrased bit of trivia I read somewhere, either in this forum or elsewhere. Does anyone recognize the source? I’m dying to find it again.

I think the Old Republic stuff had Alderaan as being a capital of sorts - or lead planet of it’s own system?

https://trello.com/c/d0glqi7g/14-planets-1 & http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=769288 - whether the idea came from George or was in a early draft or an idea he mentioned… I don’t know mate.

Same here mate 😃

‘Solo’ BTS Video Shown During Today’s Disney Shareholders Meeting:-

http://www.jedinews.co.uk/film-music-tv/articles/solo-bts-video-shown-todays-disney-shareholders-meeting/
 

'Disney conducted their 2018 Annual Shareholders Meeting today beginning at 11:00am ET and during the event attendees were treated to a special behind-the-scenes video from director Ron Howard’s Solo: A Star Wars Story. After the video segment finished playing, Disney CEO Bob Iger stated that we will be seeing Han Solo as an 18-year old in the film, presumably towards the start of the movie.

He also touched on the subject of the new Galaxy’s Edge theme park attractions that are currently under construction in Florida and California. While he didn’t reveal anything new about the parks, Iger did re-confirm to the audience that both parks are on schedule to open sometime in 2019.

Here’s hoping the Solo BTS reel is released in the very near future via the official Star Wars YouTube Channel for the rest of us to enjoy.’
