And if you pay for Premium you get all features and zero ads

Oh hey, me too, except I would never pay for premium. I just don't use the official front-end.

Skilled truckers

I have met truck drivers that can (and have demonstrated) back their trailer up to a cargo dock blindfolded.

I've met some that can navigate turning radii (radiuses? Radiens?) smaller than my old Nissan.

And then I've also met some that couldn't figure out their 13ft tall trailer can't fit under a 12ft 8 bridge...

For the most part though, in my experience truck drivers are better drivers than 97% of regular drivers.

I'm sure they'll have plenty of proper god fearing Christian good old boys just lining up to do their solemn duty.

You know, it's always funny when sci-fi shows have doctors that refer to current year medical practices as "barbaric" or "Savage", but honestly looking back just 50 years? Same feeling.

200 years ago, the local "doctor" will probably tell you to take a swig of the bottle he just dumped on your wound, because he's gotta saw it off. Hopefully they at least washed it since it's last use.

200 years from now? Eh. Doc will wave a light over it, you'll be fine.

I've lost my sea legs, unfortunately. It's been about a decade since I set sail and at this point I'm paranoid about any online interactions.

I wouldn't even know where to start with VPNs.

Is this what getting old feels like? Can I go back to limewire?

I ended up finally giving it a shot last month, and I recall having seen stuff about season 2.

I finished season 1 in 2 days, and then found out season 2 hadn't quite come out yet.

Then I did what I always do and waited for all the episodes to come out.. I got halfway through season 2 before my last month I'm paying for streaming services ran out.

So now I will indefinitely be halfway through season 2.

I should have started season 2 the day the last episode was released.

My wife thinks I'm obsessed too.

She's right, of course.

But she doesn't have to remind me of it...

Joke's on her, I turned her into a nerd. She bought the silmarillion.

Look, if you have an aural processing issue I totally understand, but if you're just being racist against droids as some kind of hold-over from the clone wars, GTFO.

There's a massive difference between "GONK" and "GONK". They sound nothing alike.

Next you're going to tell me that ewoks could take on an imperial brigade...

My shower spider gets a reminder of our deal.

"You know the drill. You stay up there, I stay over here, nobody has to be injured today."

Sometimes the spider decides to come over to my side and gets flushed or squished, but they knew what was expected of them.

Unfortunately, due to different showrunners, there are a couple.

Like how Tony didn't figure out hydra was infiltrating SHIELD when he hacked everything in Avengers 1. Probably should have figured that out.

And I know people like to say there are too many hydra people for them to not be well-known or easier to discover, but personally I don't take issue with that.

If hydra has infiltrated key personnel, they can move whoever they want. I'd say they concentrated their forces at headquarters and on the carriers, since that was part of their big master plan. So of course there will be a lot of bags guys in the main areas and in the carriers, and it's a testament to how few there really were that they failed. And they had sizeable resistance from non-compromised personnel.
