@draftnbyu1 @GigglingGanon According to grok, plate flippers are illegal to possess in Wisconsin?

@DutchRojas A new example is GLP-1 meds for weight loss which usually isn't covered by insurance. Now they might be 150-350 per month vs the $2K they would list them at. As more come out and eventually generics, they will continue to come down. We might finally beat the obesity epidemic.

@itzWicks @NostalgiaDrops Rey could fix and fly the Faulcon better than Han on her first try. She was a master of the lightsaber with no training. Used the jedi mind trick with zero training.

She is the ultimate "Mary Sue" which makes her a boring character.

@MrMystery_Guest @wwarrior_1 Xwings flew right through the shield without issue. They flew right up to it. They then could have hit the hyperdrives at any time.

@wwarrior_1 Being able to accelerate to near lightspeed in normal space means you can use this as a weapon of terror to destroy worlds. Do it in an atmosphere and the air will undergo fusion and release the energy of thousands of nukes all at once essentially destroying the planet.

@HalfTangible If a spaceship went to near light speed before the jump, doing it in an atmosphere would cause the air to undergo fusion and release the energy of thousands of nukes.

@TremasYana @yaruxiv @Libertybibbledy @MarthsBars For hyperdrive to be viable and not a weapon, you can't have ships hitting relativistic speeds in normal space. If they could, you could destroy a planet by having a ship go to near light speed inside the atmosphere which would release the energy of thousands of nukes.

@adam_copp @yaruxiv @Libertybibbledy @MarthsBars Hyperdrives are common and cheap and small ships like fighters routinely have them.

[I Like Cheese @1LikeCheese]

@Mr_UNIVAC @Lutra_Gaming It is a trivial weapon of terror. Have a ship go lightspeed inside the atmosphere of a planet. The air would undergo nuclear fusion as the ship moved at that speed and release the power of thousands of nukes essentially destroying plant's ability to support life.

@HMBohemond @r_dornson Holdo made it trivial to destroy a planet. A several ton ship using hyperdrive to go to light speed in the atmosphere and into the ground would cause nuclear fusion in the air like setting of thousands of nukes and might make the planet uninhabitable.

@SusieM414141 There is no law that requires a business to take cash or coin.

@Scow21 @Elvish_Harper Hyperdrive on 5 ton ship/torpedo aimed into a planet would pretty much destroy the the planet. In the Star Wars universe, this is something trivial to create.

Heck, just doing it in the atmosphere would be like setting off thousands of nukes at once as the air undergoes fusion.

@MarysRoommate @Shadowmuncher5 @Elvish_Harper Even with that mealy mouthed 'well, nobody ever thought of it before' excuse which is laughable, going forward, the genie is out of the bottle and everyone can do it. Capitol ships are now useless. Planets can easily be destroyed. Good luck to future writers.

[I Like Cheese @1LikeCheese]

@MarysRoommate @Shadowmuncher5 @Elvish_Harper Of course but when writers introduce a mechanic into a story that instantly breaks the 'rules' it damages the entire franchise for what? A cool, visually stunning movie shot that ruins the internal consistency of every prior story.

Oh well. At least we got that cool shot.

@ghparker9 @avidseries If some invention makes a task easier, isn't that an improvement?

@MarysRoommate @Shadowmuncher5 @Elvish_Harper They are too simple not to exist. It was lazy writing and another reason the sequels are a dumpster fire. The ability to hyperdrive to light speed one object into anther is so overpowering that the Death Star becomes pointless.

@ComesAThought @Elvish_Harper @Sir_radington Hyperdrives are common and simple in the star wars univers, even small fighters have them.

[I Like Cheese @1LikeCheese]

@AstralDepthsTR @Elvish_Harper @Sir_radington You don't need a capital ship. You need a large mass with a hyperdrive and some guidance ability. A hyperdrive torpedo seems trivial to build given hyperdrives are so common and simple that even small fighters have them.

[I Like Cheese @1LikeCheese]

@MarysRoommate @Shadowmuncher5 @Elvish_Harper Small fighters have hyperdrives so clearly they are small enough to put in some sort of small, high mass craft with some sort of guidance system.

[I Like Cheese @1LikeCheese]

@MarysRoommate @Elvish_Harper A hyperdrive torpedo is trivial to construct if using hyperdrive to ram something is an option.
