We hook you up with a ride, you pay us. We own no cars, we do no maintenance. We split the fee with the driver, taking a large chunk as a finder's fee. All we do is run a website/app.
I mean really, what are they doing that is losing them so much money?
It would of interfered with their ability to track the Rebel cruisers in hyperspace. Creating too many trails for their new system to process. That's why they didn't immediately jump after the Rebels in the first encounter.
The First Order is tracking the Rebel cruisers with new technology, a sophisticated system to allow them to track a ship's hyperspace jump.
What do you think happens, if a bunch of ships make jumps to lightspeed? It's like following one set of tracks in the snow, and then suddenly a dozen appear. So rather than risk them making a jump to lightspeed and not being able to track them due to their own ships jump trails, they decided to take a conservative approach that (to them) ensured victory - and they were right, none of the Rebel cruisers survived.
Push the balls, what happens? Once in motion they will continue down in that direction. Especially without any air resistance. So yes, it looks like they're falling by gravity.
Oh, but the bottom ones fall first...yes. Um, you do realize that Star Wars universe has artificial gravity. So you're going to pull/push those bombs with a similar technology.
If they suspected a mole was reporting their location, then you keep the info on a need to know basis. Soldiers are trained to follow orders, for this specific reason.
"The codebreaker somehow figured out that the rebels were sneaking away and tipped off the First Order. (I really don't know how a codebreaker could figure this out; Finn couldn't have told him because Finn didn't know either.)"
They covered this... remember, Poe tells Finn to hurry up, because they're fueling the transports. The codebreaker heard that... so he knew. The fact that the First Order didn't see them, tipped the code breaker off to them being cloaked. And he easily could find them.
I hope Luke does return as a glowing blue plot device, but only to Kylo Ren.
I think that it was the timing...the ship was "jumping" to hyperspace, but not fully transited into it. Thus it retained it's kinetic potency. And likewise, I expect the shields would of stopped a smaller torpedo sized object.
Though I have wondered why not have a cannon that fires large slugs in a similar fashion.
Are we really going to believe a nation that only has 28 websites, whose entire population has extremely limited access to the internet is going to be full of IT know-how to continuously plague the world?
We will get to hear the trumpeting of the 21st Centery Fox theme prior to Star Wars again, on all the new releases. And probably on any future re-releases.
A jury by peers, should mean that the only people allowed to be on the jury are those who have attended one or more comic book conventions in their lives.
An abbreviation that has been used for decades. Heck, baseball card conventions, comic book conventions... decades old.
This trademark should ONLY be enforceable in San Diego. Now, a legitimate trademark would be if San Diego Comic Con created a stylized logo/text type for "Comic Con" which they then used to branch out to other cities. No one else could use that style.
But government is so stupid, this sort of thing exists. $20,000 is enough to kill a convention.
To put it in perspective, this would be like Sal's Used Cars being sued by Al's Used Cars for the use of the term "Used Cars"
Cause for many of us Gen-X'ers, investments haven't even broken even. Heck, we're going to be the first generation to pay more into Social Security than we'll get back.
Truth is, he gets to make it at home. That's a nice perk.
For many of us, the truth is steeped a bit more harshly. Many working American's are commuting for hours, running around trying ensure we meet all our government obligations (auto-inspections, permits, etc). Then we have personal obligations (feed the kids, fold the laundry, do the dishes, etc, etc).
I wager he is not dealing with most of those things. And as such, it is very easy to brew your own coffee when you can sit around for 15 minutes or so. Now granted, he may be brewing K-Cups, which is a fast alternative, and also a large part of the reason K-cups are so popular.
But even more of a question, why is our society structure so !@#$% up that we need to rely upon trillions of gallons of coffee? Perhaps because our society doesn't let our human bodies and minds receive the rest they need.
1. Digital editions can be purchased directly without buying discs. 2. Digital editions are often given away as codes. 3. Disney is arguing about licenses. Well Mr. Disney? Where the !@#$ are my licenses? I have yet to get one...
4. Disney is shuttering their digital Disney Anywhere site and migrating to their new Movies Anywhere site. Thousands of people are going to lose ALL the digital editions they have purchased. And the DOJ won't do a damn thing. So !@#$% Disney.
Heck, they likely consider the fact that I've given DVD's to my ex wife for the kids to watch to be illegal in their book. How dare I um...ya...give the DVD to my kids to enjoy at their mother's.
Go ahead...sue me...I don't care. RIAA/MPAA you've stolen more money from artists than anyone else (with the possible exception of the IRS, but I really think you still have them beat.)
I have already decided I am going to have to start pirating. Why? Because Disney is such a dick regarding sales of 3D (love it or hate it, is not the debate, availability is).
But I have had a lot of licenses for digital content that has been lost. Oh, wait...no I haven't. In fact for ALL the exclamations of record labels and movie companies, I have yet to receive an actual license. I think they should argue that fact. The labels, and movie companies have even repeatedly exclaimed that the discs themselves are NOT licenses. And if they can arbitrarily retract any license without compensation. Then don't expect us to respect their copyright claims.
Interstellar asteroid with a 10:1 ratio, 400m long and rapidly rotating...
Sounds like an Earth ship. Be curious to calculate the equivalent gravity of the rotational speed if the asteroid was hollow. Also, what is the mass, density.
Now, first off, I wonder who these folks are, because most of my friends and acquaintances can't do that. Now binge watching Netflix on their hour+ commute to work...sure.
But everyone talking about infrastructure, is probably missing the fact that most of these folks are probably watching on their own phones. NOT on their work machines.
By that, the quantity of H1B's requested increases the tier you are in.
So if you request a single H1B Visa, you are in the Tier 1 Lottery Pool. But if you request 2-10 you move into Tier 2, 11-100 and you're in Tier 3, 101-1000 and you're in Tier 4, and 1000+ you are in Tier 5.
Each pool has an additional tax profile. So basically, if you only need one specifically skilled individual, then it is minimal impact. But when you start hiring 100 or thousands of H1B Visas, then the there is a penalty tax of sorts up to 30% of salary.

Perhaps they thought that if they disposed of the Kylo and Rey, they could rescue their fallen leader and have his wound tended, or his life restored.

And before you start touting nukes and rockets. Realize that nuclear bombs and rockets are basically 80 year old WWII technology.
We'll likely see Universal, Warner Bros, Paramount, and Sony all merge down to two film companies.
