I'm pretty sure the idea behind backing the dwarves to kill Smaug was to deny Sauron a potential asset when the war started.

Cochrane also invented warp drive to get laid.

Anything with a cohesive narrative would have been better than the sequel trilogy, including Dark Empire. Hell, Abrams did Dark Empire anyway, he just compressed it into a single film along with ESB and ROTJ because he's never had a single original idea about Star Wars.

It actually does have legal precident. You know how you can't read or accept the EULA for software until after you purchase it?

Another weird thing is anti-loitering devices hurt my ears, and those aren’t supposed to affect people older than 20.

That assumes that your hearing is damaged at the average rate. Don't blast your music or TV and wear hearing protection when using a lawnmower or other loud device and you can keep hearing those high pitched sounds into your thirties.

Looks like the one A uses in Future Redeemed.

Voyager's command staff also had to merge an undisciplined terrorist crew into a rigid military organization. Pretty sure all the trouble makers in Learning Curve were Maquis.

If you've ever met someone who is highly intelligent in general and absurdly skilled in their field, that's actually pretty realistic. Geniuses are just as prone to sporadically making incredibly stupid decisions as the rest of us.

So you're saying that if I stop feeding my mogwai after midnight I should be able to plug in my USB devices on the first try?

Wow, haven't seen NWN mentioned in ages.

So, whatever critter that came from has copper based blood, right?

If we're really lucky, they could also be Ferengi.

Unbound was basically Underground 3. Story wasn't exceptional or anything, though.

and 1.5 million nonvoters

Remember when Georgia unexpectedly voted Biden in 2020? Turns out the South has a whole hell of a lot of voter suppression going on.

Zelensky's outfit is very deliberate. Before the war he was clean shaven and wearing full suits like any other national leader. His beard is short, but groomed, and he typically wears fatigues or hoodies. In either outfit, his clothes are in excellent condition. It's a good balance between looking professional and showing his people that he's right there with them.

There are throwaway mentions of newer warp drives having solved the issue. The nacelles on the Intrepid-class moving is one of the methods.

It's clearly ripping off Pocahontas, not Dances With Wolves.

It's something about the US government being a private corporation and the "real" America being some kind of anarchic state with laws that the gov corp needs to follow despite there not actually being a "true" federal government to enforce them. The gold fringe flag is something about hanging one in a court room makes or means it's a naval military court and therefor has no jurisdiction over anyone not in the navy.

The original ending, End of Evangelion, or Rebuild?
