You guys say he is waterproof, which would be fine with me if it weren’t for the fact that we see water pouring out of him. You could say his internals are waterproof, but when we get glimpses of them there are exposed servos and circuits. It’s okay, ESB is still my favorite movie, but this In my mind is a flaw.

Some electronics actually do spit out water to get liquids out of components like speakers.

Related question, are Star Wars droids slaves?

Yes, effectively.

TBH, the UK is beyond formal uniformed defense. It desperately needs to reprogram it’s defense budget towards assault rifles for all responsible long-term citizens and other equipment for an effective militia.

Are you a “responsible long-term citizen”?

Nah, they don’t post too much of the Truth online.

Look, I just want to know your opinion on Batman Returns. Then I’ll get off your case.

Zomg! It’s happening!!!

http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/22/politics/senate-health-care-bill/index.html

The closely guarded Senate health care bill written entirely behind closed doors finally became public Thursday in a do-or-die moment for the Republican Party’s winding efforts to repeal Obamacare.

The unveiling of the legislation marks the first time that the majority of the Senate GOP conference gets a comprehensive look at the health care proposal. With Majority Leader Mitch McConnell pressing ahead for a vote next week, senators are likely to have only a handful of days to decide whether to support or vote against the bill.

A draft circulating late Wednesday showed the Senate legislation would still make major changes to the nation’s health care system, drastically cut back on federal support of Medicaid, and eliminate Obamacare’s taxes on the wealthy, insurers and others. The Senate plan however would keep Obamacare’s subsidies to help people pay for individual coverage.

McConnell’s decision to keep the details tightly under wraps until Thursday was intentional and aimed at winning over his colleagues out of the public spotlight, but the secretive process has infuriated Democrats – and aggravated plenty of Republicans, too.

Oh.
