  1. I found this. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Chiss Thrawn is from a near-human race called Chiss.
  2. I’d always assumed that his appearance had something to do with the dark side of the force. Lucas gave the Empire a Nazi Germany look. Just look at the outfits of the people on their ships. They very much look like those of the SS. Thrawn is on the cover of the paperback. He looks very much like a dark force user.
  3. I must have missed, when it was mentioned that Thrawn was an alien. Which book was that revealed in? I'm pretty sure that I only read the 1st book.
  4. I believe his father was a billionaire. You'd think that a person with the smarts to invest and create businesses, would have looked at the track record of the craft, before spending $500,000 to risk his and his son's life on such an endeavor. I've seen videos of what the craft looked like, inside and out. The craft had no seats, minimal space and what appeared to be, very limited technology. I sure as hell wouldn't have gotten on that craft.
  5. James Cameron and Bob Ballard put in their opinions about the craft that they were in.
  6. Orcas have figured out how to kill Great White Sharks, just by putting them in a mating trance; they are a very smart group in animals. I wouldn't want to be a worker at Sea World. They're probably next on the list.
  7. It would be cool to have those Texas A&M and Texas rivalries again. It's been sorely missed.
  8. I woke up Sunday morning and my wife told me that the dryer wasn’t working. The heating element burned up and the belt was chirping, every once in awhile, so I decided to just buy another one. The element burned up, because the stupid vent clogs up at the roof vent. This was never a problem, until the contractor had our hail damage roof replaced back in 2016. We had the same dryer for 13 years, before they’d done their work. The vent hood they put on the roof was not what one should put over a dryer vent. I’ve had to climb on the roof, peal back the slotted vent and reach under it to pull out the balled up lint and dog hair. I should just replace their stupid hood and get one that is made for it. Stupid contractors screwed up more than that. They just sucked at just about everything they’d done, including their invoicing.

    Diablo IV

    I played through the campaign of Diablo III, on a PS3, of all devices. I did finally get the PS4 version, but never got around to playing it again.

    Diablo IV

    I never got to do the Server Slam weekend. I had downloaded it and was going to give it a try on that Sunday, only to find out that the event was over. I'd pick up the game, but I'm currently backlogged with Dead Space, Resident Evil 4 and Tears of the Kingdom.
  11. Samsung makes some really high quality displays. Their quantum dot displays achieve 95% of the image quality of OLED. LED LCDs get the job done. I just held out until the 4K displays matured.
  12. I have an LG 55” OLED. The image quality was a massive jump over the 52” Samsung LCD it replaced. 1080p BR looked really good on it. The 1st movie I watched on it was The Force Awakens, which looked amazing. I then picked up Solo on 4K and the only times I’d noticed anything HDR, was the lit up control board of the Falcon. It’s just little things here and there. The coolest thing I’d seen with HDR, was while I was playing the Guardian of the Galaxy game. Seeing the eyes of Mantis glowing looked crazy good, as did the Infinity Gems in Endgame.
  13. My 4K player is a PS5. I’ve bought maybe three or four 4k movies this year and only noticed subtle things that were improved with the 4K BR.
  14. I took my wife's car to the carwash, picked up a few items at the store and headed over to McDonald's to get her breakfast. The line was backed up to the entrance and line moved about 3 cars in the span of 10 minutes. I decided to park the jeep, and order inside. That was a mistake, because they didn't have the digital order boards and nobody was at the front counter. I decided to bail on McDonald's and headed over the WhataBurger. The didn't go much better, because the outside lane menu didn't have a line, so I decided to pull over there to order. 8 minutes later and nobody is asking me what I'd like to order. I pulled back over the the main menu and waited another 7 or 8 minutes, while I'm watching 2 cars in the lane I'd just left, completed their orders. :facepalm: I made myself breakfast after I'd gotten home. I checked out a little bit of YouTube while cooking and eating breakfast. I played a little bit of Gran Turismo 7 and decided to get back to Ratchet and Clank: Future Rift. That didn't go so well, because I was stuck in an area and couldn't figure out the path I needed to take and gave up. I guess that's probably why I haven't played it for a couple of months. I took a nap around 3, did a little laundry and played a little bit of Halo Infinite on the PC, before making Fajitas for dinner.
  15. I lived in Phoenix for 3 years, while attending a tech school. It hit 118 degrees and I had to wait for a bus to take me across town, to get a part for my car. I had a 72 oz Big Gulp, that I tried to nurse while waiting at the bus stops. My mouth was dry and my belly was full of soda. I honestly can't believe that anyone would want to live here, during the time before AC. Sure, the Navaho's got sent to this living hell to live, which in itself was an asshole move by those in charge of the US government. I'm surprised that they didn't surpass the Trail of Tears, with their march into that furnace of a state. The one thing about Arizona though, is that you barely sweat, because it just evaporates right off of you.
  16. A true legend of the music industry. I've been wondering what's been going on with her, for the past several months.

    NFL Legend Jim Brown has passed away.

  19. That cartoon was around when I was 10 years old or so. It was okay at the time. There was a character named Eric (thanks a lot) who was kind of an ass.
  20. Jerry Springer was a surprise. Gordon Lightfoot passed away today. I don’t know the names of any of his songs, but I definitely know when I hear one. He had a very melodic voice.
  21. The part about not knowing where to go is what made me lose interest in the 1st game. Everything else was great, but the countless wandering around just made the game feel monotonous. Just give me action and screw the puzzle crap. Under the game options they should give you this: Easy - The force isn't strong with this one! I wanna rock - screw the puzzle crap Normal - I got this! Hard - I got the force baby!

    This is a feel good moment, when the Dallas Cowboys drafted Deuce Vaughn. His father is a member of the Dallas Cowboys front office.
  23. You're in for a rude awakening Dom. This game is a total mess on PC.

    Emmitt Smith had one of the worst draft outfits I'd ever seen.
