Man i love the Airforce Museum. Maybe something to do with both of my folks serving their 20 years in the Air Force. Love the De Haviland Vampire, and the Skyhawks look sleak as anything. The universe is made up of 12 particals of matter and 4 forces of nature and light is the only connection we have with the Universe beyond our solar system, and the only connection our ancestors had with anything beyond Earth. Follow the light and we can journey from the confines of our planet to other worlds that orbit the Sun without ever dreaming of spacecraft. To look up is to look back in time, because the ancient beams of light are messengers from the Universe's distant past.

Dude. Hiting that nail on the head with a full swing there. If the government wants to help people at the low end of the economy buy food then... Do That! Use targeted subsidies to promote cheaper food.

The economy isnt some Rube Goldberg Machine that you can reliably judge your effect on. If you want to affect a thing in the economy you are often far more effective directly affecting it.

Its not the ozon hole (well its a little bit the fault of the ozon hole) but its because due to the eleptical orbit of the earth around the sun the southern hemisphere is closer to the sun in summer than the north hemisphere.

I loved most of the gallary puzzles. But i still dont get the 8letter one, like i got it but it was all about finding the theme then brute forcing through all 8 letter words about that theme untill 1 worked.

Blue prince is a DEEP HOLE. Just solved my fourth sigil. It is really relaxing to go in play one day, put it down for a couple of days ruminating on what you learned, then pick it back up and play 2 more days.

That is probably why the Empire colapses after the destruction of the second Deathstar. Palpatine probably throws a massive tantrum and purges a bunch of high up, competent people from the Empire. Palpatine then probably installs himself or Vader as leader of a bunch of ministries just because of the feeling that "if you want something done right do it yourself".

Now, when we have the second Deathstar blowup, Palpatine and Vader die, The Empire collapses. Not because the Deathstar blew up but because of how Palpatine reacts when the first deathstar blows up.

Once the second Deathstar blows up, a now gutted and leaderles Empire fractures into a bunch of small pockets of empire. This was probably already happening to a large extent during the events of Return of the Jedi. Palpatine diverting more of his own focus to this one project and not noticing that the fringes are starting to fray, or noticing and not caring because he is about to have his super weapon.

Is the tinfoil to tight. Probably, but this is my head cannon for starwars now.

Sure... Until he takes his private jet out of the United States of America and has to register the information with a non USA equivalent of the FAA

Yes, but in this case it wasn't the media editing it, just one mad lad.

The collective that is the media organization RNZ re-edited the articles back to what they were originally published as. If old mate was so commited to his ideals then he is more than free to make his own blog site or join Reality Check Radio to post his articles.

Just because he is a journalist doesn't give him the right to surreptitiously edit other journalists articles to change their alignment. This wasn't a beat down, or a shake up, or a browbeating.

Dude did things that most people would align with a foreign state actor and was investigated for it. Was found not guilty and sent on his way. Im not saying it wasnt scary or intimidating, If i was him id be kacking my dacks. BUT i belive it was the correct course of action.

Part of the investigation, im speculating here, was probably checking that this was his view point and that he wasnt doing this under duress. While it may not feel like it, the invistigation was possibly for his benefit and to help him if he was being forced to do this. Now in this instance it wasn't the case.

Also of note is the fact that this is RNZ. By design, the least foreign owned news outlet in this country.
