The reason why Hannibal is the cool one in the Punic Wars is that he has fewer resources, he is essentially doomed because the Empire can keep raising new armies, but his generalship allows him to prolong the confront and win battles he 'ought' to lose.
I'm fascinated by the fact that neither Favreau or Filoni seem to understand that what made Zsinj and Thrawn work is that they were skilled tacticians using inferior forces to fight against the New Republic. In a world without being inferior forces they're just....dull.
It’s funny because it’s true
One of my favorite running jokes from KOTOR was that Czerka was just the next in many corporations to think "WE CAN MINE THIS PLANET" only to discover that sand fucking sucks to run machinery in
Ah, for space punk. I see.
Every Star Trek planet is not only in California, but is on a studio backlot or is that one canyon
Every planet in Star Wars is actually somewhere in California
Why do you think they have so many pilots?
jizz music, the official genre of bluesky

Very good thread
Do not cite the Deep Magic to me. I was there when it was written.
In particular: we make up myths about real historical figures all the time (Washington and cherry tree, etc), “Jesus was an op” adds an extra layer of complexity to even the secular explanation of the story
There is significantly more evidence for the existence of historical Jesus than for a lot of premodern historical figures
I’m also never sure what this buys you. There were a lot of millenarian prophetic figures in the region at the time, he’s a totally plausible historical character!
“So what exports does your planet have?”
“Sand.”
“What else?”
“Painfully extracted water.”
“…. what else?”
“Ummm… pilots?”
I mean in every way that matters Tatooine is the least logical planet in the galaxy
in my mind the Lars family moisture farm was just an air conditioner with a tank collecting all the water
Going to need @golikehellmachine.com to comment on the third gender (drummers)
But Black Dynamite, I benefit from the status quo ante 😦
Pitch an unnecessary sequel

RICHARDS, YOU PETULANT FOOL. AS YOU TOIL AWAY AT YOUR GOODY TWO SHOES SOLUTION TO THE ENERGY "CRISIS," DOOM HAS SOLVED THIS CONUNDRUM WITH EASE. MY WEATHER 𝘋𝘖𝘖𝘔INATOR CREATES A SERIES OF NUCLEAR POWERED TORNADOES THAT WILL EASILY EXTRACT THE PETROLEUM. A SIMPLE CHILD WOULD SOLVE THIS RICHARDS.
My rule of thumb for using a chatbot* iteratively is if it lies to you give no more than one chance for it to fix its mistake before just starting a new chat
* There are many chatbots some are better than others

But enough about baseball in the 1970s
Finding answers like this is the dumb stuff I occasionally will ask AI to do
You are all very creative, except the 60 people making There Will Be Blood jokes
Best I can offer you:
Santa Cruz, Philippines (Laguna): 14°17′N 121°25′
Santa Cruz, Bolivia (de la Sierra): 17°48′S 63°11′
Like you managed to shift them from 2% growth to -1%, which is impressive!
Won’t put them out of business
