Donald Trump doesn’t know how to operate a website

"Someone told me I need pipes for the website. We need to get the best pipes. Do they come in gold plate?"

The Telltale game (I haven't played it yet) seems to be based on Drummer from the TV show. TV Drummer is radically different from Book Drummer. Book Drummer, certainly in the first six books, is a very minor presence, as the security chief on Tycho Station. TV Drummer is a composite of several book characters.

IIRC, there's a bit of minor head cannon involving Book Drummer and "The Butcher of Anderson Station". That might be referenced in the Telltale game, since it's a prequel for TV Drummer.

I’d like to see someone be immune to telekentically manipulated objects

Also, those parking lots are likely place holders for building lots.

You’ll never see this in New York City or in DC for example.

There are surface lots in Manhattan, though they are being developed into multistory buildings and no new surface lots are being constructed.

Some of the remaining surface lots probably continue to operate as placeholders for "future tall building site", while rights/price/building codes are being hashed out. In the meantime, you can charge a lot of money for a parking spot in Manhattan.

But someone recently said he revived the NFT market single-handedly, with people making a bigly 1000% return!

Last episode where we saw her as the child soldier

Anakin: I wish the Jedi code didn't forbid domestic relationships, as I could lead a happy life with Padme.

Jedi Council: child soldiers are cool

Besides the earthquake, there was also a literal rain of fire across the planet, like a blast furnace, that likely killed everything that wasn't underground or underwater.

Instead of drilling a hole, another way to do it is to slam an asteroid on the other side of the planet.

The loophole seems to be having an app pinned to the screen (I've never done this, but it presumably keeps the phone from locking) while requiring you to have an unlocked phone to use NFC payments. This doesn't seem to be a common scenario (I can imagine doing this in some sort of kiosk mode, or giving the phone to a kid and locking the app so he can't wander around).
