Your friends, up there on the sanctuary moon, are walking into a trap, as is your Rebel fleet. It was I who allowed the Alliance to know the location of the shield generator. It is quite safe from your pitiful little band. An entire legion of my best troops awaits them. Oh, I'm afraid the deflector shield will be quite operational when your friends arrive.
Ahhh, I finally understand the subtext. The Emperor was being sarcastic!
Soon cities will profit selling off the right to rip open landfills with robots and recycle it all.
You read it here first!
Actually, if you had been paying attention you read it here 15 years ago here first. I usually got downmodded saying it was silly to worry about landfills.
As mentioned, why aren't you agitating to get rid of vacuum cleaners and washing machines, so more hotel staff must be hired to carry rugs outside to hand beat, and smash rocks against clothes to clean them down by the river?
This is either a dictatorship employee shilling, or what used to be called a Blame America Firster, now called someone with America Derangement Syndrome.
Rorschach: "Old joke. American man says, 'In America, we have freedom of speech. I can go up on the steps of the Capitol Building, and say how terrible the President of the United States is.' (Putin shill): ' We, too, have freedom of speech. I can go up to the Kremlin and say, also, how terrible the President of the United States is.' Funny. Gets lots of laughs."
The Dutch are committed to the US because we have proven we will defend them from militarily expansionist dictatorships like Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia and Putinistic Russia.
What good does this do for porn, in the sense of "all the best skin is wrinkled", if all pictures are computer bot airbrushed to the texture of a balloon?
This really seems like a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Which company is more heavily subsidized by their respective government(s), overall?
The City of Romulus, which runs Detroit Metro airport, built a new, giant parking structure and extended lot as part of a modernization and new terminal.
The surrounding private lots still charged less, enough so peoe put up with the inconvenience of a mile+ extra bus ride.
So the city added a 30% "Government is grossly inefficient" tax on those lots that it, itself, of course didn't have to pay.
I'm sure France would try to do the same to SpaceX if it could. This is not the thing to do if we are ever to get space travel and living in space ala some science fiction future into self-supporting private hands.

In The Matrix, one of the techniques Neo learns that flies by on the screen is "Drunken Boxing". Morpheus briefly demonstrates it in their fight, where he pretends to be shaking with rage. The goal is to make a skilled opponent think, "This guy is an out of control fighter who is making mistakes I can take advantage of."
Then the "drunken boxer" watches for those kinds of strikes and counter-takes advantage of it.
Trump is playing the Drunken Boxer strategy on NK. By bitching about how out of control Trump is, you are actually aiding it.

Actually mass production and the assembly line brought prices down so the common man could afford fancy stuff.
Fancy custom stuff AKA hand-made was the way of the world. $20 for a pair of jeans today = cheap. 150 years ago = over a week's wages for your Levis.
They don't do it for hygiene. They do it beca8se God says so.
Even if it was a memetic rationale that evolved from hygeine-should to should to must because God.

That's what freaking computers are for. That's the only way it would work in Jetsons-crowded skies anyway. Punch in a destination and sit back.
I'm waiting for large drone things.

Or just have a cheap gearing and ground brace to crank the deep weeds slowly out.
Grampas sitting around with weed-pullin yarns!
"...and other programs"
This will allow the emperor to continuously track his political opponents and automatically flesh out his opponents' networks.
It's just metadata, Geo. Washington, friend of Tom Jefferson and James Madison and Ben Franklin...no need to fear.
Our own FBI and CIA say so!
Who that's some high salaries for card-slinging lackies.
Bring on the robots!
This will get modded down, even though it shouldn't in this context.

No, seriously.
No, really. Seriously.
Reminds me of arguments about who owns inventions an invented AI invents.
Can Apple get a cut of in-store-in-store sales? How deep does it go?
So...rice remains great until a society is too modern and cheap, energetic food becomes a liability rather than a scarce necessity?
Sounds like a situation decreasing the energy of rice is arriving hand in hand with its need.
It's why soy sauce was born.
See also buttered noodles.
So it can't happen and is accidental.
Happy shilling, comrade!

These are good things, not bad, Russian shill.
You're all wrong.
Jango Fett was the source for the clone army. Boba Fett was his son.
Also incorrect, or partial truth anyway. Boba was just another clone of Jengo, one of which Jengo demanded to raise as a son.
In the bigger picture, one throwaway, scientifically illiterate line in Hope yields yet another massive afterbirth.
That's 4 damned movies based on the color filler line, "YOU FOUGHT IN THE CLONE WARS!?!"
Enough. Stop it.
multiple users reported that their iPhone 6 and 6 Plus handsets were bending under pressure, such as when they were kept in a pocket.
I would imagine God is pretty scared right about now over minor chronic misuse leading to certain body parts bending.

Porn can no longer lead the bleeding edge!
And now, to hit the anonymous check and submit...
I'm happy with more countries begging NATO for admission, as safety against Russian militarism.
The only people Poland, Romania, and the Latvian countries want in them less than NATO are your bosses, the dictatorship Rooskies.

So disregard the emergency status of hundreds of real situations because of the very occasional one that is a fraud?
I wonder what the net effect will be, saving-lives-wise?
They are pushing it through the commodities commission, so no, not a currency.
Plus they're happy for the capital gains taxes as people sell it for cash.
"We thought it was just the White House computers crawling with stuff helpful to Putin but it's worse than we thought!"
