Re: Last Jedi
So, I started a new job in September and my old job had blocked the forums and I just realized after almost 9 months that "Hey, I can access the Church forums again!" Um, what were we talking about? Oh yeah. I thought TLJ was meh. It wasn't great. It was not teeeeeerible, but it had terrible parts t...

Re: The official Star Wars: The Force Awakens Thread
Apparently, according to rumor initial photography has been delayed 2-3 weeks from Jan to Feb due to some rewrites in the script. It's all pure speculation on my part, but I suspect that maybe Ep 8 had some OT story elements that may have been "written out" due to the criticisms faced in Ep 7. That...

Re: The official Star Wars: The Force Awakens Thread
Question for you all. Was the main story lines/scripts written for all 9 episodes back in the 70's? Maizan To sum up Dodd's post and likely actual history: No. Hell, Lucas barely had Ep. IV fleshed out and there were constant rewrites while it was happening. Key plot points in the OT were decided f...

Re: The official Star Wars: The Force Awakens Thread
I don't think it's a spoiler to say this: One thing that I think makes the movie complicated to digest is that the story takes place - just like the movie - 30 years after ROTJ. I think that it can be hard to make those connections some times, especially when you're still seeing TIEs and X-Wings and...

Re: The official Star Wars: The Force Awakens Thread
Since I discovered I still know where this forum is....I give the movie a B/B-, pending the release of the next movie. This movie did what it needed to do. It made me want to see the next Star Wars movie. However, its final grade is entirely dependent on that next movie. This was a soft-reboot that ...

Re: SWToR expansion details
I can't decide if I care or not.

Re: The new Doctor
What is that Dashl, we should have a weekly/bi weekly doctor who night where we synchronize up on netflix and watch Doctor Who? We can do it as a guild and have an episode discussion thread to talk about it? I think that is a great idea and am glad you've decided to spearhead that! I support Dashl'...

Re: The new Doctor
If you can't watch Doctor Who, we can't be friends. As for the newest season, can someone fucking kill Steven Moffat already? He already tried to turn Sherlock into "Non-Time Travel Doctor Who" last season and this season premier was so shittily written that I had to listen to Mrs. Dood repeatedly m...

Re: Phones
I have a MotoX. I generally get a new phone every year through work. This year may be the first year I don't replace my phone because the Moto is just that good for me.
What phone do you have now? The ecosystem you're in sort of dictates where you should go.

Re: Ferguson
The other thing that should happen is that if your department is involved in a situation like Ferguson and protests break out, it is a TERRIBLE idea to have your cops maintain the peace. They're on edge and the crowd is out for vengeance. You diffuse that situation by bringing in an outside police f...

We also have a new mobile command post, which is basically an RV with radios and consoles for dispatch, a gun safe, and additional stuff.
We have already deployed the MCP once - for a freaking fatal traffic collision investigation. Why? Because we could!

I said it in a couple of places, and I'll repeat it here: I'm a combat veteran of an actual war, in combat arms. I jumped out of airplanes with a machinegun. I never saw even half the gear the police seem to have. They're kitted out like Special Ops teams- it's absolutely insane just how much gear ...

Re: Ferguson
Not really any debate. Not sending it. I'm not uncovering something that people don't know. The potential for problems at my job outweigh any "good" that would be accomplished.
So you guys get my ramblings instead.

I've been sitting here debating for a long time whether to post this to Facebook.

Re: The no spoiler Guardians of the Galaxy thread
Guardians made me want to make Disney give Marvel Studios a blank check to buy back the rights to Deadpool and then go make that movie. Same director/producer/etc. Go make that self-aware, hilarious, and murderous movie. Do it now.

It's OK, I pretty much missed it too. I was traveling for work, at a 12 hour a day class with a German engineer telling all of us that we don't know how to write software.

A little late to the party (so very busy lately), but I'll throw in my thoughts, as a rusty coder: It's possible to get too attached to the structure of OOP classes as models, and it sounds like you've managed to avoid that, but that your concern is you're too loose with it. I think that on balance...
